Chapter 1

LeafClan Territory
During the midday hours of a bright summer afternoon, two young HouseKits are padding through the dense forest. Their ears are laid back because the noise of the forest and scurrying prey was scaring them. The bigger of the two stopped walking and looked around seemingly clueless. "Do you have ay idea where we are, Tiplet?" the ginger tabby tom asked his younger sister. The smaller she-cat, who has a limp in her right hind leg, looks at her brother with wide round amber eyes.
"How should I know? You were the one that suggested that we should explore the forest!" Tiplet exclaimed. Snag shook his head and continued walking not waiting for his sister to catch up with him. Tiplet started limping after her brother, her ears back and her tail down, not even moving from side to side.
"I'm hungry, may we should head back…" Snag said slowly. His stomach rumbled loudly not long after he finished speaking.
"The choice is up to you, Snag. You dragged me along with you. Not the other way around," his sister said offhandedly. The ginger and white tabby tom looked up at the high trees of the pine forest.
"There's only one problem…"
"Yeah? What's that?"
"How do we get back home from here?" he asked looking around more, the trees all looked the same to him no matter what direction he looked.
"All I can suggest is that we continue walking until we find a way out of here," Tiplet said with a shrug.
"That's a good idea," Snag said sarcastically. The two started walking in the opposite direction of which they were previously walking. "Everything looks the same!" Snag whined.
"I can't help that, Snag. It's a forest," Tiplet said bluntly.
"Snobby furball…" Snag muttered under his breath. They kept walking, jumping at every little sound that the forest made. They began to feel hungrier as they kept walking with no exist to the forest in sight and the dark hours are quickly approaching.
