While I was writing this there was a small earthquake, it was the first earth quake I've ever felt, everything started shaking! Eeek! Then it was gone. Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter 1, Dreaming

"Crystal, dinner." Mom called. I left my place in the back ward were I had been reading about how a forest use to be where I live. I crept into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

"Mom, can we please get a cat?" I begged.

"No, you know how your father feels about that." Then changing the subject she asked, "What were you doing outside for so long?" I gave up and answered.

"I was reading about the forest that used to be here at google with my I-phone."

"Well, I heard that there were cats in the forest, but they're all gone now." My mom replied. "I know it's hard living in a new house, but it'll be fun. There's a lake about thirty minutes away, and there's still forest behind our house. Tons of forest. They left a lot of forest when they were planning the houses."

"Really? Is it close?" I asked getting interested.

"Yes, you could walk there, turn left at the end of our street, then keep walking and turn right as soon as you see forest. Then you'll be there. You can go there tomorrow, just be careful and bring your phone." She replied, answering my next question. I quickly ate my food, thanked my mother and ran to my room. I was going to catch one of those cats, and then we'd have to keep it.

I grabbed my ropes, tennis shoes, hiking bag, net, butterfly net, some granola bars, water mister, and my pocket knife. Then I set up my camouflage pants and shirt, and went to bed.

The next morning I woke up at six and got ready. I had all my supplies and my phone in my backpack. I put on my cloth, socks and shoes, said good-bye to my mom and set off. The sun was just rising and the sky was gray. The only sound was the roar of cars as they drove by, birds singing in trees, and my shoes hitting the ground with every step. I followed my moms directions and came to the forest. It was full of sounds and life.

I started my journey. Coming to a tree that was at least 80 feet high. Then I heard something in the bushes and a cat leapt out, landing square on a mouse and killing it with a bite of the neck. Then it noticed me, picked up it's kill and raced back into the bush. I quickly followed. It came to a river and flung itself into it. What type of cat is this? I thought. It pulled itself up the other side and raced into some brambles, still clutching the mouse.

I searched the river until I came across some rocks that I could use to get to the other side. I stepped on one at a time and crossed the river, then I took out my pocket knife and made an x on the nearest tree, so I'd remember how to get back. I raced through the forest, trying to follow where the cat had disappeared. Then, I came to a thorn thicket, I walked around a bit, then sat down on a fallen tree. I would never find that cat.

A soft mewl came from behind me. I turned around to see a kitten. slowly I took out my butterfly net, the kitten still didn't notice me. I crept closer, lifted the net and slammed in down around the kit. It mewed so loudly that I was sure my mom could hear it. I closed the net with a rubber band and set off.

Then six cats came charging at me. One of them jumped onto me and knocked me over. It started scratching my back, I rolled over, crushing it. It let go and yowled in pain. The other five were already on me, I fainted from losing to much blood.

"Hello, I am RiverStar. Youhave stolen from my clan." A bluish tom told me.

"Clan? So, they attacked me, and I was trying to save the kitten, not steal it." I replied curtly.

"You do not understand, I only know of one way that I can make you understand. Good luck Emeraldkit."

"What?"

"Oh, how cute! I'll call her Emeraldkit." Meowed a she cat and she began licking my head.

This is a one shot thing, I might not continue, unless I'm asked to. So, tell me what you think, thanks.
