Chapter 1
Spotty was awoken from her dream by a paw prodding her side.
She opened her eyes to find her brother Snowy starring at her, his pale green eyes filled with amusement.
"Get up you fur ball you don't want Shock to start her story without you, do you?" Snowy asked
"I'm coming", Spotty said quickly and quickly bounding after her brother.
When they entered the garden they found Spotty's two sisters; Tigress and Piper, waiting for them on the fence.
As soon as Spotty and snowy were seated on the fence Shock pounced up on to the fence and said, "Hello youngins' are you hear to listen to my story?"
"Yes please", Spotty begged
"Oh, Spotty I see you made it out of bed today", Shock teased.
"Anyway", Shock continued, "Today I'm goin to tell you about the clans that live in the forest"
"There are four clans. They live in equality unless they trespass on each others land. Then they fight to warn the others off", Shock said finishing the story.
Shock wasn't known for having particularly long stories, but they were known to be the truest stories you'd ever here.
As the kittens headed back into the house Tigress joked, "Spotty you don't think those stories are real, do you?"
"Why can't they be?" Spotty questioned
"Those stories are for kittens, you don't want to be a kitten forever do you?" Tigress said.
"I believe them", Spotty said strongly.
"Then you're stupid", Tigress sneered.
"I'm not. I'll show you. I'll find the clan cats", Spotty promised.
"Go then, it's not like anyone will miss you", Tigress growled.
Spotty glanced at Snowy and Piper who were staring at the two sisters with wide eyes, but they didn't protest.
Spotty couldn't remember how long the arguing had been going on or how it started. Maybe it had something to do with Tigress being the oldest of the litter and Spotty being the youngest.
Either way Spotty had had enough of it. She was already running out of the house by the time she knew what she was doing.
She hopped onto her fence and to her delight Shock was on her fence sunning herself
"Shock", Spotty whispered
"Spotty? What are you going here", Shock gasps
"It doesn't matter. I need to know where the clans live", she says with urgency.
Shock senses her tone of urgency and sits up straighter, "Why do you want to know?"
"Please, just tell me where they are", she pleads
"Alright, I know that one of the clans live in the forest beyond the fence", She says finally
"Thank you Shock", she says and then she leaps down from the fence and through a gap in the fence.
When she finally stops running she finds that she's in a grassy clearing.
She realizes where she is in a heartbeat. This is the place from my dream! She lays down to catch her breath when she hears the bushes rustle. She doesn't think it's a problem until the rustling get louder…
WHAM!
All of a sudden a wall of pale golden fur rams into her throwing her onto the ground and under her attacker.
