Chapter 1: Prologue
Phoenix crouched beside the door, her tail twitching. A cool wind whistled across the window, and the sky outside was a murky, unpleasant gray. It was almost leaf-fall. She was about five moons old and a rather powerful-looking cat for one so young. Her gray-blue eyes stared hungrily outside, but her twolegs were oblivious to Phoenix's desire to escape to the outdoors she had never visited.
She mewed pitifully, but the twoleg female simply scratched her behind the ear and walked to the door. Phoenix darted after her, but the twoleg stuck her foot out and stopped her. She pushed Phoenix backwards, and the kitten tripped and was rolled over onto her back.
Before she could scramble up and jump out after her, the door snapped shut.
