Prologue
Slowly, carefully, a silver she-cat crept through the undergrowth, leaving her two-leg home behind. She recognized the form of a young cat whimpering in the grass. She padded to him and lowered her muzzle to his ear. "Come, we must move."
"Maybe they won't see me," he murmured.
"They will, we must move!" the silver cat picked the younger cat up by his scruff and ran.
"Hey!" protested the tom. "My two-legs!"
"We aren't safe anymore," panted the silver she-cat. She skidded to a stop when she heard the distant yowl of a cat. "Mother!" She set the tom down. "Run to…" She paused. Where could he run? "Run to the big rock."
"The one with by the barn?" he asked slowly.
"Yes," she replied. "Go now! Hurry!" The young cat took off towards the "big rock". The she-cat sped towards the yowl she heard a few moments ago to see a large cat bounding away. She looked on the ground and her breath caught in her throat as she saw a brown tabby she-cat.
"Mother?" she whispered, padding forward.
"Dusk?" whispered her mother. "Are you okay?" The younger cat nodded. "Go."
"Where?"
"Anywhere is better than here." The older cat closed her eyes. "Find your brother."
"Which one?" Suddenly, it dawned on the silver cat. "Won't he come help us?"
"I hope." Suddenly, the life drained from the brown tabby and she stared without looking into the night.
The silver cat stood straight up, fighting a yowl of pain for her mother. Her blue eyes hardened with determination as her gaze filled with the look her brother often had.
Please tell me waht you thought. I'd love to know.
Who do you think her brother is?
