This is the very first fan fic that I ever wrote. I wrote it nearly three years ago. It is available on my first ever website- Midnight Masquerade, which is currently undergoing a major revamp.




Prolouge


From out of the burning house came a female cat carrying her mewing kitten in her mouth. Darting across the street she plopped it on the ground and raced back to the house. The little kitten, all black except for a patch of white fur on its chest, cried piteously for its mother. Moments later the mother cat returned and dropped another kitten on the ground next to the other and took off again. This one, a gray and black tabby, sat silently waiting. The black one nudged its sibling, bawling with hunger and self pity. He was ignored. He tried again and again to gain the other kitten's attention until he was roughly shoved away. Throughly put out, the black kitten went off to sulk.


In time the mother cat was returning with one last kitten. Sadly, she never made it. She was nearly across the street when a car, going faster than it should have, struck the cat and kept going. The mother lay limp in the street, her head rested on the sidewalk. The kitten in her mouth shook itself loose from her grip and stood unsteadily on the sidewalk. The gray kitten, stunned, crept cautiously toward the adult cat. Gingerly, she pawed the mother's face. No reaction. She tried over and over in vain to get the cat up. Crying in despair and confusion, the kitten snuggled against its mother. The other one followed suit, too young to understand why its momma was sleeping in the road.


As for the little black one, it was oblivious to the events that had just occurred. For he had wandered too far and had fallen into a sewer.
