Prologue
A gentle rain fell from the dark sky, splashing the red rocks of the gorge. Mist swirled in the air, making it hard to see.
In the distance, a small group of feral cats trudged across the land, crying out in pain and fear. The group was extremely small and they looked starved.
A she-cat watched the group closely, unsure of what to do. They hardly looked like a threat, but she was still unsure. She slowly got up and carefully made her way closer to the cats.
They were now at the edge of the gorge, slowly making their way down the rocky cliffs. The she-cat winced several times as she thought she saw one of them slip. Finally, the group made it to safety. They slowly started to walk to the river that ran through the middle of the large red gorge.
The she-cat rose from her spot behind a boulder and cautiously made her way towards them. As she got closer, their pelts and faces blurred together and she couldn't make out what they were saying.
Suddenly the she-cat jolted awake. She blinked a few times to calm herself down, and then sat up and quickly washed her pelt. The dream lingered fresh in her memory. She quickly walked out of her den and climbed the side of the gorge and made her way to Outlook Rock. Sighing, she settled down in a warm patch of sunlight and purred as the warmth spread across her pelt.
The she-cat looked out across the gorge, smiling at its beauty. She then narrowed her eyes, trying to see if she could spot any newcomers. What am I doing? She questioned herself. It was just a dream which meant nothing. But no matter how much she tried to convince herself of this, she still felt a lingering feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't place what it was.
I know the prologue was very short, but I wanted to try and keep as much as I could a surprise. Hopefully I haven't given too much away! Anyways, please review if you liked this story!
Thank you for reading.
