Prologue
A cat walked in the forest. The rain pattered at his feet and a loud thunder crash echoed through the dark forest.
The tom approached a cave and walked in. It was dark and shadows fell across the floor. He then stepped on a branch that made a loud cracking noise.
"Hello?" came a raspy voice.
"Hi, Bone. I set the trap" the tom said in a low, dark tone.
The raspy voice came from further down in the cave. "Good. But is it good enough to do the harm?"
"No" the tom said. "I'll be doing the harm!" he hissed.
Then Bone stepped out from the shadows, his black and white fur streaked with mud. "You think you can do that?"
"I'll try my hardest!" The tom said confidently.
"You can't try. You have to DO! There is no trying. You either have to do or don't! You choose" Bone replied.
The tom held his breath. He let it go and said, "I'll do! I promise!"
"And if you don't?" Bone challenged.
This part scared him. "If I don't… I'll bring you to the forest so you can do the harm yourself." He tried to sound more confident then he felt.
Bone laughed. "I don't think so. If you fail… I will kill you! Now go back to your camp and when the harm is done, come back. Until then you are not welcome."
The tom nodded and backed out of the cave. He ran through the forest and stopped at the ravine to the camp. He looked behind him to make sure no one saw him and then he turned left.
He crept through the dirt place and slid back into the warriors den. He laid in his bed thinking that he had to do this and the perfect time was the next gathering.
