CHAPTER 1: MY LIFE'S LONGEST DREAM
My paws ach from the blazing hot ground that is burned by the Greenleaf's sun. I am struggling to keep up with the group, for they are much larger than me. It's nearly hotter than hot, and I can barely take it. I breath deeply and try my best not to show fear. This is torture.
I sigh and keep walking, looking strait ahead at the cats in front of me. The large white tom in front is my father. His real name is Roader, but we call him Callé. Callé means road, and I wish that he would stand in the middle of one and get hit by a car. He is mean, fiesty and I can't leave out one more descriptive word. Abuser.
The brown tom standing next to him is named Swipe. He has the large claws of a tiger, willing to kill anyone in a matter of seconds with them. I try to stay clear of Swipe, even at night with the thought of him slitting my throat with those claws in the middle of the night. Then there's one more cat, Dawn.
Dawn is smart, clever, and tricky. She always finds a way out of trouble, by getting us in to trouble. It sounds a bit odd, but it's true. Dawn will always make bets with streetcats, horrible bets. One time she bet a young black tom that she could go and steal cubs from a lion or the tom had permission to kill our whole group. There's the trouble part, for the getting us out of trouble by getting us into trouble part is that she actually stole the cubs. Double the trouble.
We are all a rouge group known as The Eternals. Callé is our leader, with Swipe as second in command. Dawn is what we call the mastermind of the group, and me? Well according to the others I'm just the leader's dumb son, but I know that that can't be true!
My life is a bit odd, well that's what most cats think. But I have a long dream that I am determined to fulfill. I will live in a clan someday, with the prtection of my clanmates to guide me through my life. But that's nearly impossible! You want to know why? My father has rigged the abandoned house we lived in with guard cats that never blink, and he continues to do the same with all the territories we stay at! It would be a miracle if I could get past those guards...
If only there was some other way to fulfill my dream. My father will never let me go, mostly because he has a plan. I am not exactly sure what the plan is but he has mentioned it once or twice in casual conversations. The other reason why my father won't let me go is because my motheer lives life as a clan cat, and he is afraid that I'd find out the identity of her. This makes me more curious though, and I don't know why he doesn't want me to find out! I wish that my father would let me do the things I want, it's my life!
I need to go my own way, follow my destiny! I could just imagine the feeling of the forest wind in my fur, as a cconfidently hunt for my clan! It would be awesome, spectacular, unthinkab- "Jay!" My father's warning growl disrupts my thoughts. "Jay, I told you to catch that mouse, are you even listening to me?" I blink my green eyes before replying loudly, "Oh, sorry! I'll just go catch this mouse!" I stumble to the mouse and step on a twig, scaring the tiny rodent away. I look at my angry father and silently mutter, "Oops."
My father growls and pins me down, clawing my shoulders and digging deeply into my skin. "You are useless! Useless and a terrible hunter!" He hisses at me. I look at him in horror, before stuttering, "I-I am s-so sorry. I didn't mean to!" My stuttering turnes into a growl as I stare into Callé's deadly amber eyes. Callé turns away from me. "Pathetic, just like you mother!" Is all he says before signaling the group to get a move on.
I growl silently, knowing that my father is angry at me. He doesn't care about me, and he never has! I keep following, worn out and exahsted from all the previous walking. I've tried to ask my father where we're going, but all he does is growls at me and keeps silent. So now I am just doing the same.
We've been walking in nothing but old streets and allyways and I have a feeling that we're going somewhere that involves fighting with scrawny allycats. I hate always having to move from place to place, picking fights and making bets. That's a rouges life for you, all we do is walk more and more everyday until we find the perfect home.
It's been hours and we've finally came to a stop. I glance around my surroundings, only to see two houses close together, forming a slight allyway in the middle. I close my eyes for a second, hoping that we could stop here and call it a night. I am glad when my father says it's getting late and we better go to sleep here, but I'm a bit upset when he announces that we'll rise early tomorrow morning and get a move on. But atleast I can sleep for a decent ammount of hours...
I lay down on the hard cement ground, closing my eyes and still thinking about how clan life would be like. Many cats I've met on the streets have talked about it. One said that clan cats are vicious and bloodthirsty, but another one mentioned that they are bold and brave and do everything they can for their clanmates. I believe the cat with the liking of clan cats. They couldn't all be mean, they just couldn't!
I slip into sleep and appear at a foresty meadow. I hear echoy voices that whisper, "Jay. Jay." I look around, finding nobody in my sight. I lift up my muzzle to smell a strong scent of cats, lots of them. I begin to walk around, and just when a pear behind a bush I see a slope full of friendly cats. The cats are chatting and grooming eachother. I can't help but open my jaw in awe.
One cat, a light gray she-cat dips her head to me and warmly meows, "Welcome to Desireclan, Jay." I dip my head back at the she-cat and jump down in the slope to join all my new clanmates. Everything is perfect and just how I imagined, but then a familiar voice rings in my ear.
"Jay, get your lazy self up and ready to travel further!" My eyes slightly open and adjust to the sunlight. I moan and silently say, "Okay, coming." I get to my paws and sigh, thinking to myself again. It was only a dream! A fantastic but unreal dream! I look back toward the nearest forest, wondering if any clans make their homes there. That's rediculous! Warriors can't live in every forest.
My father nudges me hardly. "Come on Jay, the sooner we move the sooner we'll get to where we're looking for!" He says coldly. I nod slowly, gleaming back at the forest and feeling like something was supposed to happen. I felt as if my true destinies lie in that forest, and I must reach them!
