Author's Note: This is a new story. I originally had another chapter instead of this but it was just an overall not good one so I rewritten it. Here you go ENJOY!
Chapter 1:
"Come on, wake up Moon." my mom said as she was grooming me.
"Red, stop it, leave me alone," I said to my mom.
But I couldn't stay asleep while Red, my mom, was grooming me so I got up and looked around. It was a dimly lit den made out of sticks and brambles. We are rouges and my parents used to roam around but when me and my brother, Claw, were born we settled down here. We lived in secrecy we didn't let any other cats know were here. We lived on the outskirts of a clan territory. Rumor has it that they eat kittypets and rouges like us and sharpen their claws on our bones.
"Come on Moon the fresh-kill is losing its warmth," Red said to me.
"Ok, fine I am coming," I said to her.
She walked out of her den I followed her. In front of our den was 1 rabbit and 2 mice. Which is very plentiful. To the right of the den you can see a river that seperates this land to the clan's territory. And there are trees that form a half circle from one end to another end of the river. It was a nice clearing. My brother and dad were playing near the river. My mom was already biting out of the soft flesh of the rabbit and giving them to me. I was thinking of the dream were I was drowning I was having this dream for a couple of days now. I was avoiding the river because of it.
My mother's voice woke me out of my thoughts,"Come on eat up or else you will never grow and stay a kitten for the rest of your life."
That scared me so I ate the soft flesh faster than that rabbit can run. Fang, my father, ran up to us with Claw quickly behind him.
"Me and Claw went out hunting this morning he is a really good hunter," Fang said.
"Stop lying dad, I only caught the two mice because you made them run my way." Claw replied.
"I know but we make a good team." Fang told him.
We ate the rabbit and my parents ate the mice. Some of the rabbit was still left so Fang told us we can save that for later.
"As the Lion was resting in the sun..." Fang was telling us.
His head shot up and looked at the other side of the river and then we looked there. There was three cats. One was a tabby with a pelt like flames. The other was a gray one with her pelt so groomed and shiny that it looked like a gray stream. The other was gray with dark gray blackstripes.
"Red, take the kits to the den and stay there and protect them." Fang said.
"Will you be ok?" Red asked.
"Yes, don't worry now hurry!" he told us.
"Red, will we be ok?" I asked her.
Only one thing we forgot, Claw. He was taking a swim and he didn't want to hear a story so he went in the river. We were so caught up in the story we forgot that he was in there.
We were in the den. When I said," Where's claw?" I asked her.
She looked around the den expecting him to blend in with the shadows since he was a black and gray cat, like Fang. Then she looked at me with the most scared expression.
"Do you know where he is?" she asked me.
"He was in the river taking a swim," I told her.
Outside we heard hissing and then we looked out and saw the flame pelted cat say," You rouges stop stealing our prey,"
"We aren't stealing your prey you guys only live behind that river."
"This is where we get extra food in Leaf-bare," he told Fang.
"It's only 4 cats its not doing any harm," Fang told him.
The flame pelted cat nodded to the others and the started to hiss and surround Fang.
At that moment Claw was yelling since he started drowning but none of them could hear it.
