Clover awoke to the arising dawn. The sun was a brilliant shade of gold and was slowly rising up into the sky. The sky itself was jumbled up and full of confusion. It was orange, pink, and blue at the same time, but it looked beautiful. The jumbled up sky looked like Clover's life however. She was nice to everyone, but she still got picked on more than the others. It made no sense.
She lived in the city. Monsters roared around the crowded place and rotten water slashed your fur. It would take a while to get the nasty stuff out of your pelt. Splatters of blood from unknown victims stained the twoleg buildings. Shadows here were vast and dark making it hard to have hope, but clover had all the hope in the world. Still there was danger on just about every corner, but at least she had her best friends, Petal and Flint. Clover loved them like a sister and a brother, but she never understood their violent streaks.
The mean street cats consisted of Dust, Stone, and Light. They called Clover a freak and worse things. Such as a piece of mouse mush. It was horrid to be called that, that's one of the only things that could set Clover's temper up. It wasn't a nice thing to be picked on, but Clover found her ways around it. For example, hanging out with Petal and Flint.
(Clover's Pov)
"Hey guys wait up!" I yowled trying to catch up to Petal and Flint. My paws pounded against the rough, uneven alley ground. I was used to it though. Walking these streets really toughened your pads up. This hostile place was our home. Sure we had to fight for territory and food, but we still had fun.
Suddenly Petal and Flint skidded to a halt. They turned back with horrified expression. Was this some sort of game? I stopped momentarily and looked around wondering what the heck was going on.
Petal's gray eyes were wide and Flint pushed me forward commanding, "Run!" I didn't question it; I just started pounding my paws until I caught up with Petal. Whenever Flint or Petal said run, you run. We continued to run until we stopped at the corner of a twoleg building. There was a little hollow that we could squeeze into.
Petal said, "Hide!" She didn't hesitate to push herself into the hollow. She snapped her brown tipped tail into the small shelter. I stayed back looking for the cause of the problem, maybe I could solve it? Flint sensed my hesitation and pushed me into the hollow. Then he squeezed in after us.
Soon a huge dog ran snarling down the alley. I pressed myself further into the shelter, glad that Flint shielded me.
The fur along the dog's spine prickled creating a small arch along it. It didn't see us. Soon it whipped around angrily and went back to wherever it came from. When we were sure the dog was gone Flint, Petal, and I burst out laughing.
Review please!
