I woke up with a start. I was hidden in the shade of a thick bramble I had used as a makeshift den. I realized I was safe. But alone. I then rememered the day before, the loud cries as the battle of territory began. My brother,sister and father all fighting bravely beside me against the rogues who attacked us. We were gravely out numbered and there was no chance of winning, yet we stayed and held are ground. My sister thrown into the river and drowned, my brother lost fighting under a heap of cats and my father missing from the battle field. Then theres me, alone scared sad and injured. My name is Darkstep and this is my story.
I'll start from the beginning when my name was Luna. I lived with my brother Sky, my sister River and my father Dusty. I never really knew my mother because she died giving birth. We suckled instead on the milk from plants. Father wanted to be sure we could survive so he trained us well. He tought us all the moves of the wild. Hunting skills and fighting skills was always fathers specailties. Soon River had surpassed fathers hunting skills and Sky had surpassed fathers strength. I had surpassed speed and stealth beyond anything father had ever seen. He was proud of all three of us, said we were just as talented as mother.
Everything was going great until that dreadful day. A group of passing rogues came upon where we lived they said they wanted it. They told us to scram or they would take it by force. There was only a few and we knew we could take them so we said no. They turned and told us be warned then left. We thought they were just bluffing and had seen the last of them. But we were wrong. Just after dawn. We heard the battle cries of the cats streaming towards us ready to fight. There was more then we had seen the previous day and we were shocked by the increased numbers. We fought back as hard as we could but knew it was hopeless. My sister was thrown into the river and carried down stream. We tried to catch up but couldnt, she was lost in the waves of defeat. I was fighting a bulky tabby when I saw my brother die. He was fighting bravely the first minute but the next he was gone under a heap of cats. I tried to run to his aid but was blocked by to many cats and father was no where to be seen.
I was crying out to Sky. But then there was a flash of scarlet and everything faded to black.
