Hi! I'm trying my hand out at writing for the first time, so this story might not be as good as others you read. I'll try my best with the grammar, and really try to keep the storyline moving. Any criticism or comments you have are greatly appreciated. If I don't add in your favorite cat, just ask, and I'll try to add them in somewhere. In this story, the cats are human-like, since to me, it's the easiest to work with.

Oh, and I guess I have to point out that I don't own Cats… Even though it's obvious.

All right… here goes!

"Jump, Elle, jump!" yelled my brother, Quaxo. "I'll catch you!"

The wind was whipping across my face, while I just stood on the cliff, too afraid to move, since I knew He was behind me somewhere. My brother kept yelling to me, but really, there was no way I could leave everyone I cared about… not there. Not at that fortress. My brother didn't want to either, but he had to follow Father's orders, to get me and himself out of there.

But hey? I've never followed directions. So I ran back, to the place of my certain death and all that good stuff.

But at the moment, you are probably really confused about what happened, so let's just take it back a few steps. It all started on a perfect day… well, as perfect of a day you'll get when you're in my family…
