In a dark forest, birds were singing, and other creatures stirred after the unexpected rain. Dew, and left over rain drops glittered as they clung to the leaves. A clearing full of light grass shined from the waking morning sun. A ginger tom stepped softly into the clearing, crouched slightly as if he were stalking a rabbit. A long hair, grey tabby, tom followed behind a ginger she-cat, as they crossed the clearing. When the ginger tom stepped fully into the, his pelt sparked to life, like an open flame dancing around the dim forbidding forest.

He stopped in his tracks when he was almost to the other side, He lifted his head, and opened his mouth tasting the air and with a silent warning he crouched putting his weight into his haunches and lunged at a nearby brush, that happened to be big enough to hide a cat or rabbit. As the other cats followed his lead, swiftly with claws out like if for battle, you could make out a darker shadow in the depths of the brush. As his out stretched paws and claws met with his unsuspecting target, a horrible screech sounded and a flurry of powerful struggles shoved from beneath him.

"Yeooowch!!!" I hissed as I was startled awake by the digging of claws into my side. I unsheathed my claws, and swiped my paws around trying to get a hold on my attacker, as well as struggling to detach it. After a few minutes of such tactics, I managed to throw off the one who ruined my pelt with blood. I leapt to my feet and jumped out of the bush to face the … cat that attacked me accompanied by two others. Growling and keeping low I stepped out into the sunlight toward the three cats. As I noticed that the one who attacked me was this bright flame colored tom in front of me, I had a suspicion that I knew him from somewhere or else he just seemed similar I couldn't figure it out.

As I got closer I noticed an awkward expression on their face, I looked down and gasped as I saw that my fur shined bright silver, glowing ever so much like the flame tom I am confronting. My usually pale patterns shimmered brightly like they were made of gold. I was aware that I had odd coloring, at least, for a cat, but I never remember knowing that something like this would happen if I stepped into the light. I soon returned my gaze to the cats before me, "What is your reason for attacking me?? If I was aware something like this would happen, I might not have come here." I growled at these cats. I was fully awake now, and ready to fight if needs be.

The grey tom stood, and replied, "You are trespassing on our territory", and I was startled by this, and growled my reply,

"Trespassing! On what scale do you consider my entrance to this forest a trespass?" "Is this the sort of welcome that…" I started to mumble, and leapt at the group of cats.
