Chapter 1

Hunting in a Dead Forest

For three moons, the once beautiful and alive forest was dying. A big earthquake came and caused fire's to start and most of the small rivers and streams had gone into the ground leaving only small pools of water. When the earthquake and fire's stop, most animals have either died or run away from the forest, what was left started to starve with what was left. So for a small family of three cats, with rogue cats out prowing about and with kits on the way it was hard to survive in this dying forest.

On the dense forest floor a mouse was scurring about looking for food, it was so busy looking that it did not see a pair of green eyes watching it from the bushes, with a burst of speed a young ginger tom ran out and pounced on the mouse and killed it with a quick bite to the neck. The young tom sat down and looked down at the body of the mouse and mewed a prayer to the spirit of the mouse just like his mother taught him. His right ear flicked to some bushes, someone was coming his way, he could hear their paw steps, so he then sniffed the air and waited to see who it was.

"You should take that mouse back to Thornrose. She is getting annoyed to have to wait for her food, that she has asked you to go and get" meowed a young golden-brown she-cat that just came out of the bushes.

"Goldenpelt I am sorry, it is getting harder to find any prey since the earthquake and mum's ranting on and on dose not help me to hunt for all three of us and you are going to have our kits in four moons" apolagized the young tom.

"Oh Sandfire I know you are trying but you should take some time to rest, you have not slept for five days my love" mewed Goldenpelt.

Sandfire looked at her then at the mouse down at his paws and mewed "I think that we should go look for a new home Goldenpelt, there is not a lot of food left in this forest. Even the water has gone down into the earth. Mum is getting weak and deliriours, you are at risk of losing the kits and there are rogue cats trying to kill mum for some reason I do not know why, I just do not know what to do".

Goldenpelt looked up at the sky and mewed "Just listen to your heart, Sandfire it will help you make the right choice".

"Your right Goldenpelt, there is a squirrel by that tree for you. I will go and take this mouse to mum, then i will go and find some food for my self" meowed Sandfire.

Goldenpelt looked at Sandfire and nuzzled her cheek to Sandfire's cheek and mewed "Thank you, see you night". She then watched him pick up the mouse and run back to his mum's den with it. She then went to the tree to get her squirrel. She did not kown that a pair of eyes was watching her as she ate her squirrel.
