PROLOGUE:
Cat's Eyes
Darkness fell. As it did, a heavy fog drifted over Moonscar Island, bathing the mysterious isle in an eerie glow.
All of this ominous activity made a great recipe for a cool, nearly silent night. Though loons cried out over the bayou while crickets chirped around the old plantation, it was relatively peaceful.
However, this peace was about to be broken. It was destroyed when a cat suddenly slinked out of the fog.
The feline was a magnificent creature. Its midnight-black fur shown brightly under what little moonlight managed to leak through the island's cloudy atmosphere.
The cat flicked its bushy tail as it padded lightly across the swampy ground, seeing everything with its piercing, yellow eyes.
No one knew of the animal's destination except for the animal itself. It alone knew where her paws were taking her, and they were leading her to a very sacred area of Moonscar Island: the nearby woodland. Only there would the cat find what she sought.
On its way, however, the cat ran into something that hadn't been seen on the island for years: a human.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the two-legger, the cat hissed and raised its hackles.
The human didn't move, which was strange because, oddly enough, the human seemed more frightened of the cat.
Then again, the cat was ready to pounce. The human had a good reason to be scared.
A male scream erupted across the island as the cat leaped onto the human, attaching its claws to the man's neck.
Within seconds the human intruder was dead.
