CHAPTER 1

The moon shone bright in the sky, brightening the ground.

Three small creatures walked through a forest. Their bodies were bloody and bruised. The leading creature's ear was torn and it's left leg was twisted.

The second creature only had eye, with patches of ripped fur, and a long gash on it's side.

The last creature had four scratch-marks half-way down it's back and a sliced open nose.

They were cats.

The cat leading the three was a fully black tabby with blood-red eyes. His name was Shadow.

The second cat was a blue she-cat with one green eye. Her name was Leaf.

The final cat was a red tabby with amber eyes. His name was Flame.

Shadow stopped and smelled the warm air. Just then a squirrel darted past Shadow's paws. Although he was badly hurt he still managed to grab the squirrel and give it a bite on the neck to kill it.

"We should get back to the camp..." meowed Flame. The other cats sighed but nodded their heads in agreement. Then they ran off into the trees.

The cats soon came to a large clearing. In the clearing, were loads of cats.

The three freinds sighed deeply and walked into the clearing, the squirrel dangeling from Shadow's jaws.

A brown tabby came up to them and looked at the small squirrel in Shadow's mouth.

His yellow eyes blazed with anger. "One squirrel!? That is all you could catch!? Put it on the pile and get your lazy butts out of here you worthless peices of dung!" he spat.
