Hello Fanfiction bros! I have a story that I have been writing for a while, but now I have deleted it, and am now reuploading it due to not liking some parts in it. I also don't want this story to be "Mary sue/Gary Stu"-ish, so if it does start to look like that, review it and let me know.
Oh and, Scat's name; Scat is my dad's cat, and no-his name does not mean poop :/ . It means stupid cat XD (S-cat) Skittles is Stupid Kitty (S-kitty) and please know that no, we don't call them stupid to be mean, We couldn't think of a name, so we just thought of the first word that came to mind, lol. Scat is actually pretty smart though.
PLEASE READ: HALF OF THIS CHAPTER WAS A SHORT STORY, I HAVE MARKED WHERE IT ENDS. THE SHORT STORY MAY SEEM BORING/DUMB BECAUSE I WROTE IT IN GRADE 7. I AM NOW IN GRADE 10 AND AM CONTINUING IT :D YOU CAN SKIP TO THE BOLD THAT SAYS WHERE IT ENDS, BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU READ IT FIRST BECAUSE IT HELPS YOU GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS BETTER.
Okay, enough of my annoying talking. LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Run, faster!" Scat yowled, "That dog's going to get us!"
"If we can climb a tree then we would be safe, dogs can't climb ya' know!" mewed Skittles in reply as the pair ran through the delicate forest for their lives. Scat could feel the hot breath of the dog on his heels and Scat looked over his shoulder to see the dog snap his big teeth a mouse-length away from his tail. "That one!" Skittles yowled pointing towards a Spruce tree with her tail. Skittles flew up it with no problem but Scat, on the other hand, had problems climbing the tree (because of his sheer weight) and they both stood on the lowest branch, balancing precariously with the dog howling up at them. Suddenly a Nofur Screamed in the distance and the dog whined and headed home. Then, using scent, Scat made sure the dog was gone and began racing home.
When Scat and Skittles returned home it was a little after Sun-High and Scat felt like sunning himself. "Why don't we just go inside and sun ourselves through the windows," Skittles suggested, "Then we can be out of this wind!"
"That's a great idea, Skittles!" mewed Scat as he ran his paws down the window, making a loud squawking noise. The older Nofur Came to the swinging wall and opened it. Scat and Skittles loped inside the house and sprawled out on the couch. Scat curled his tail over his paws and felt the sun bathe into his pelt. The older Nofur then came and Started kitty-spanking Scat, Making him purr loudly, but the happiness didn't last long. The younger Nofur came and started ruffling his fur. "Meoooeeoorreooow!" Scat wailed. Suddenly, the older Nofur roared and the younger Nofur stopped. Still puffing with anger, Scat went to the Cat-House and inside was Skittles.
"Don't take your anger out on me again!" Screeched Skittles.
Scat did so anyways, nipping and clawing at her sides as she wailed in fright. Suddenly the older Nofur Screamed and grabbed Scat and threw him outside. Scat, now fuming mad, jumped up onto the railing of the deck, trying to calm himself. Scat saw something out of the corner of his eye, and, instinctively, crouched low to the ground to stay out of sight. He saw that is was a large tabby tom, with a mouse. Scat's mouth flooded at the thought of biting down on a juicy piece of prey. The cat dropped the fresh-kill and began cleaning his fur. Scat quickly and stealthily bounded across the yard and grabbed the mouse and took off with the other cat in pursuit.
"I will kill you," yowled the tom, "and then kill that tiny cat that you call fully grown!"
The tom caught up and sliced at Scat's tail. Scat stumbled over a rock and the tom bore down on him. "Heeeeeelp!" Scat wailed.
"I'll help you!" screeched Skittles as she leapt on top of the tom.
"Gah!" Yelped the tom, trying to throw Skittles off.
"Who's tiny now?" Skittles taunted. Suddenly the tom threw her off and Scat managed to get up.
Sprinting away from the mouse, "Whew, that was a close one, Thanks, Skittles!" Scat mewed.
"I still want that mouse," declared Scat, "I'll get it one way or another." With that, he bounded off towards the tom, "Can I have the mouse, please?"
"No!"
"Pleeeeeeaase?"
"No!"
"Pleeeeeeaase?"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"To share?"
"Fine."
Then scat ate his share of the mouse, relishing the taste of fresh kill in his mouth.
Okay, that was the end of the short story. Read on :D
As Scat slept himself away beneath the sun on the porch, Skittles snuck up on him and Squawked in his ear.
"Aaah!" Scat squealed, "You nearly scared my fur right off!"
"So I am sneakier than you thought, eh?" Retorted Skittles, "Anyways, I'm off to find something to do."
It had been almost 2 moons after the battle for the mouse, it seemed so long ago to Scat now. It has become leaf-fall and soon will be leaf-bare, causing the prey to slowly disappear into hibernation, "Mouse-dung!" Scat huffed as he missed a Squirrel, racing into the safety of a tree. Suddenly Skittles galloped past him in pursuit of a vole. She was about a claw-length away from it when she pounced, killing it with a swift bite to the neck.
"Want to share?" Skittles asked, "It's fat enough for both of us."
"Ok." Scat replied as he walked over to Skittles. They settled down underneath a tree and gobbled the vole in some quick, famished mouthfuls. When Scat finished him and Skittles decided to head back to the house.
"What's that smell?" Skittles mewed. Scat sniffed the air and smelled what seemed to be a badger. "Maybe we should go around?" Skittles then suggested.
"We can try, but it may follow us." Scat replied heavily. They turned and started taking a long walk around. About half way through their trek back Scat heard the badger getting closer. A loud rustle in the ferns behind him alerted him and Skittles that it was right on their tails, "Run!" Scat howled. The badger snapped it's teeth at Scat's tail, missing by a mouse-length.
Scat and Skittles ran for what seemed forever. Running through unfamiliar forests, across roads, and even over barren fields. Still the badger stayed about a fox-length behind. They eventually ended up at a beach, right beside a lake. "We're trapped!" Skittles wailed. "Help!" Scat's sides were heaving from running so far. He knew he couldn't run any further, and he knew Skittles did too.
The badger slowly lifted it's massive paw to reign the death blow on Scat, when suddenly a loud howl rang through the air. Four large, muscular cats ran out of the bushes and tackled the badger. Scat stood there, stunned as the badger growled and lumbered around, trying to shake them off. "Lionpaw, Get it's throat!" One of the cats squealed. Another cat, possible lionpaw, snarled and lunged for it's neck. Blood sprayed everywhere as the creature let out a horrifying scream, and fell to the ground, gurgling.
The four cats jumped off the badger and shook their pelts. One of them walked up to us and asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing on Thunderclan Territory?"
Okay, how was it? Please review how you liked it!
