Prologue:
Pale moonlight from a small window shone through the bars of a steel cage onto a heavily pregnant cream she-cat.
The she-cat stirred restlessly, constantly changing position.
"Would you just go to sleep?" The tabby tom in the cage below her snapped.
"Are the kits coming yet, dear?" A plump gray she-cat two cages away asked softly.
"No," The cream she-cat replied in a quiet voice.
"What's wrong Leia?" A white tom with black spots lifted his head from the change beside her.
"I just can't get settled Comet," Leia sighed.
"For pity's sake!" The tabby snarled. "Thank goodness they're putting you down next, maybe I'll be able to get some sleep after."
"What are you talking about?" Leia's eyes widened in fear.
The tabby chuckled to himself. "You know already Leia."
"Our kits," Comet hissed under his breath.
"Comet we have to get out of here!" Leia's voice grew high-pitched with panic.
"We will," Comet promised, beginning to paw desperately at the latch on his cage.
"It's no use." The tabby lay his head on his paws. "They take us all at some point."
"No," Comet meowed fiercely. "Not us."
The tom shrugged. "If you say so."
After a few minutes of wrestling with the locks, Leia grew frustrated. "Face it, there's just no escaping!"
Across the room, a mottled brown tom named Dakota shifted his weight from paw to paw uncertainly. "You'll never get it that way," He said finally.
"Well than how?" Leia pricked her ears.
"You have get it like this," Dakota stuck paw out through the bars and using his claws, pulled the latch so that his cage door could be swung open.
Leia and Comet both tried it and after a moment, both their cages unlatched.
Comet sprang and landed neatly on the wooden floor which Leia just behind him, but in her struggle to get out, her cage had fallen over and landed with a loud clang.
"They're coming!" A gray and white she-cat in a cage near the door yowled just before the sound of hurrying footsteps could be heard.
"We have to get out the window!" Comet realized.
Leia followed his gaze. "How are we supposed to get up there?"
"Just jump Leia!" Comet ordered as two men turned the corner into the room.
Leia bunched her haunches and managed to grip the edge of the windowsill, propelling herself all the way up. "Come on Comet!"
Comet was about to leap when one of the men grabbed him by the loose skin on the back of his neck. Leia darted out the open window, knowing there was no way she could help her mate now.
