This isn't the first story I've written, but I do feel it is one of the best so far. I know other people have used the same idea, but I wanted to write my own story about a girl turning into a cat, so I did. Don't flame me, please; constructively criticize. Many of these names I found in a name guide on this site which is really good. It can be found by looking up 'warriors name guide.'

Prologue

Blackness surrounded him, like a thick, smothering blanket.

He had been defeated, humiliated, shamed...and trapped in this darkness, this cage.

This prison.

It had been long ago...so long ago...but his wounded pride and lust for vengeance had only grown with time.

A beast created from darkness, nightmares, crept through the silence and dark that surrounded him with growing anger. His prison was closed, shut off from the rest of the world by an enormous boulder. The beast snarled in anger. They thought they could imprison him, and he would not try to escape, that he would not grow stronger over time, instead of weaker.

They were about to be proved wrong.

Bracing his shoulder against the stone, the beast began to push with his hind legs, straining to escape.

The boulder shifted.


Someone very kindly informed me that having only a list of characters as a chapter was against the rules, and requested that I remove the Allegiances. Instead of just doing as they asked, I decided to write an ominous prologue to include in the chapter! Yay me for not breaking the rules!
