"I'm not special, I don't have any powers." I thought as I ran through the city to my house. Still in my cat form my legs carried me swiftly through the streets. I had to get back to the nest with my mom and brother before I was missed. Mother wouldn't be happy to know where I've been and there were stiff punishments to come if Darkan found out that I left. The city was silent as I ran through the deserted streets. It was well into the middle of the night most people were in their nests sleeping. The shops had long since closed for the night. I ran past the bakery even at this late hour I could smell the cookies and other sweets that had been baked the day before. I pasted my best friend Zara's house. It's a two story red brick house with a big front yard that we play in for hours. The training yard was a few blocks away. It consist of a sandy pit for battle training and is surrounding by grass were we do hunting training. Beyond that was the palace. I could just make out the white tower tops and see the gleaming light that shone within. There were a few royal guards patrolling the area and I hoped my father wasn't among them. I would never be able to explain to him why I was out this late at night.

Finally I reached my house. It was a two story house with a beautiful garden in front. My mother loved flowers and would spend hours toiling there to make sure they looked perfect. For that reason we weren't allowed to play in the front year. Fortunately for my brother and I we had a big back yard. I ran to the back yard and climbed the oak tree. Carefully balancing myself on a branch I jumped through the bedroom window that I had left out of earlier. Once inside I shifted to my demi-form. My hair took on the silver color my pelt used to be. My skin was the same tan sandy brown color of my mother. My face held the sleek bone structure of a kitten. I sported my black tipped silver tail and pointed ears. My eyes were a piercing ice blue just like my fathers.

As quietly as I could I tipped toed over to the nest where my mother and brother laid asleep. Careful not to wake him I laid down next to my brother and allowed my mind to wander. At the age of ten I wasn't the wisest member of the tribe but I was no fool. I had been training for three years. So I knew how to think for myself and make educated decisions. I started to weigh the information given to me. First who is the person that gave me the information?Deka. Who is Deka?

He is a powerful warrior and considered a wise man despite his young age. He is a skilled dream walker another amazing skill for on so young. Or so I've heard. He was Darkan's unofficial adviser that alone makes him trustworthy. He is known for talking with the spirits. That's another special skill to add to his long list of skills. Though I wasn't sure I really believed in the spirits. As far as me being some powerful chosen one that was probably mouse dung. But I was sure of one thing I already had a mentor and I didn't want a different one. With that conclusion I settled down to sleep.

Deka reached his home shortly before Nadra reached hers. He knew that Nadra didn't believe him. He would have to work hard to gain her trust. But first he had to convince Darkan to let him mentor the young kit. He rolled his shoulders just thinking about the fight ahead made him tense. But if he was right, and he's usually is about these things, then it would be worth it. As he made his way to his nest he mentally prepared for tomorrow.

(Ok so thank you to the people who have revwied already but I more need people to review on this. Tell me if it's any good and if I should write more. K thanks)
