New Book. Enjoy!
Prologue
I was looking at the forest outside from his window. I'm not allowed outside because I always got something that itched. They were called fleas, I think. At least, that's what the upwalkers called them. So I'm always stuck inside the house. My upwalker Salome comes to visit me sometimes. Sometimes she brings me treats. But what I really want, is freedom. Salome's mom yells at me for escaping my room and attacking Roxie. I can't help what I do, she just doesn't like me. Now Salome, she loves me. She would be heartbroken if I left. But I have to leave. I'm always cooped up in the room and never let me come out. I hate it. But I would rather stay cooped up than Salome replacing me. I hate it when she plays with other cats. I attack them every time. But I'd never attack kittens. Salome would never forgive me. I don't really hate kittens. I'm rather fond of them. I play with them and groom them. I have to go. The forest is calling me. I hear the door open. This is my chance. It's one of her little brothers, I always forget his name. He conveniently leaves the door opened just a little bit. It's enough for me. I jump out of the room and run out the door. Salome runs after me, calling my name. I run into the marshland and look behind me. She's sitting on the step crying, her mother rubbing her shoulders. My heart cracks in two. I want to run back back to her, but something tells me to keep going. I listen to that something, heading deeper into the marshland, leaving part of my heart behind. I head into a bed of reeds, and make a nest. I fall asleep, feeling empty inside.
So what do you think?
I know it's a little short, but I felt it had to end right there.
