So yeah heres the prologue...I really do hope this fanfic is better than the last!
Prologue
I looked around, but all I could make out was Ashes,my father, and Coal, one of the kittens I found starving to death. They pressed against me,then I felt more fur brush my side. "Storm? Is that you?" I called out into the smoke."Y-yes Momma." She had called my 'Momma' ever since I started raising her.
Then finally I remembered something, Someone to be exact. "Hey Mokey!"I called for my bestfriend."Mokey were are you?" I started to whimper when I saw a shape come out of the smoke."Miss me?" Mokey had said as he came out of the shadows. I nodded and counted to make sure every cat was there.
"Mimi and Rayn aren't here! They could be stuck in the Twoleg den." Ashes shouted into the clearing. "Mokey go and check, your the strongest of us all. Please,just hurry." I licked him between the ears, because for all I know this could be the last time. He disapeared into the thick smoke once more.
After what felt like moons I saw him again this time dragging a body and another struggling to walk behind him."Oh my goodness! What happened? You know what nevermind, you can tell us later we just have to get out of this fire!" I grabbed the body that now collasped and started dragging the cat out of the fire.
Once we were out of the fire, I went with Coal and started checking all the cats. Mokey had a cut on his side, nothing too serious. But Coal was mostly worried about Ashes, Rayn, and Mimi. Mimi and Rayn had many scars and bruises,but they'll live. Ashes will live too, he just breathed in to much smoke for his old age.
Storm and I went to hunt while Coal and Mokey tended to the others' wounds. I caught a rabbit and a vole. Storm caught a thrush and a vole. We went back to the group and started eating. I ate the rabbit with Mokey and Storm. Coal and Ashes ate the thrush. While Mimi and Rayn recovered my eating the voles.
"Its good, I might like it better than those rabbit droppings the Twoleg gives us." Mimi had said after about a couple of heartbeats."What are you talking about?" Rayn said with his mouthful,"I wish I gave in to being a loner all those times you asked me to!" I let out a purr. And then a question hit my mind. Where are we going to go?
I was so lost in thought I didn't know Coal was talking to me,"...to go? Um, Momma you there?" He smacked me on my nose and I woke up out of my daydreaming. "What sweetie? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." I looked at the young, stocky tom." I asked, where are we going to go?" I looked at him and then around at the other cats, they also had a questioning glance.
Out of all the cats there, I was kind of thier leader. But right now, I couldn't even clear my head."We will make a tempuary camp here, then tomarrow we will look for other cats around here to tell them that we will either be staying or going." Every cat looked at me as if I was crazy. But soon thier gazes softened
"Okay but we need to decide if we are leaving or not. Cats who want to stay go to the ash tree over there." She flicked her tail to a small tree in corner of the clearing. "If we leave go to the holly bush over there." She twiched her ears towards the small green bush on the opposite side of the clearing.
Rayn and Mimi went to the holly bush together. They might as well be mates! She looked on as Ashes started walking towards the ash tree, but then turn to the holly bush. Storm and Coal also went to the holly bush. Lastly it was just Mine and Mokey's turn.
At last we walked to the holly bush. "Then it's settled, Now who is fit to make dens,hunt,or gather herbs?" All the cats bounded to her in spite of thier wounds. "Okay,okay." i said as I was overflown with 'I wanna come!' and 'Lemme go!'. "Okay, um. How about Rayn can help Coal gather herbs. Mokey and I can hunt. While Ashes and Storm make the dens. Mimi, you can gather twigs and brambles for them. Off with you all now!"
We all split up. Mokey caught three mice, a pigeon, and a rabbit. I caught a thrush, a mouse, a vole, and a shrew."This should fatten us up for the travel for a new home!" I grabbed a giant canopy leaf and put my prey on it. Once we got home, Coal had rows opon rows of herbs. There were two dens. One for the she-cats one for the toms! I thought.
"Okay everybody listen up, grab some prey and bring it back to your den. The left den is for she-cats and the right is for the toms. Coal you can put the herbs on the leaf, after that grab a peice of fresh kill and sleep." I called to everybody. I picked up the vole and went to the she-cat den."Goodnight everybody!" I called to outside and heard purrs rising from throats.
Today had been the best and the worst. I had lost my home to a fire, and I almost lost the cats who were like family to me. But now I will find a new home with kits that were abandoned, two kittypets that might as well be mates. My father that raised me ever since I could remember, and my most best friend in the world!
"Hey, Cookie?" I heard a voice call from outside the den." Yes? Come in!" Mimi padded in and nuzzled me."I have two things to say, first about what I saw in the forest. There was this...cat. He tried to chase me off. I told him that I needed just a little time to rest. He said fine, but if he still finds us here tomarrow, he'll chase us out." I saw how shaken the she-cat was and I tried to comfort her.
"I think his name was...Rainshadow... " Weird name. I thought. I shoke the thought away and asked,"Whats the second thing?"She took a deep breath and said ,
"I'm expecting Rayn's kits."
I exploded." How long did you know?" I asked, happy and surprised."I felt a kick this morning... and well thats it. I didn't tell Rayn yet. When I was going to tell him this, the fi-fi-fire started and-"
I put my tail up to her mouth and said," Time for sleep, you can tell him in the morning. Plus its moonhigh, you definatly need a rest."
She started nodding off as I closed my eyes.
I think this is the best chapter ever!
Read and reveiw!
