Enjoy the chapter!
The harsh sound of barking dogs rang through Silver's ears. She faintly heard Spark yowling orders over the chaotic sounds. Silver was too afraid of the quickly approaching dogs to pay any attention to Spark. She raced off, tearing through the thick undergrowth, she ignored the thorns snagging on her pelt and kept going. She pushed her legs into longer strides, urging herself to go faster to avoid the snapping jaws of the dogs that were following her.
Silver kept running at full speed, her ears flat against her head and her tail streaming out behind her, the dogs not far behind. I'm not going to be able to outrun these dogs. What am I going to do? She thought in panic as she raced through the forest. Then a thought came to her. Dogs can't climb!
Silver stopped for a brief moment. She bunched her hind legs and launched herself towards a tree. She landed awkwardly, hanging on a low branch with her claws digging into the rough bark of the tree. The dogs were only a few tail lengths below, their jaws gaping as they frantically tried to reach Silver. After a moment Silver regained her balance. She managed to scramble up the tree, until she was far enough away from the dogs so that they couldn't reach her.
Silver let out a long sigh of relief. I'm safe at last! She looked down as the dogs gave up on her and bounded away from the tree. Now. Where am I? As she looked around, Silver noticed that nothing was familiar. I couldn't have gone to far. Could I have? No. I will find the others. With that last determined thought Silver began to carefully climb down the tree, leaping the last few tail lengths.
When Silver reached the ground she began to search for her travelling companions. The silver she-cat walked around, her nose to the ground so she could pick up the first scents of her friends. She searched and searched until the sun was getting very low in the sky. It is getting late, I need to make shelter. I'll look for them tomorrow. she thought.
Silver began to search for somewhere to sleep. She noticed that there was a space between a tangle of roots of a tree, it looked like she would fit and be secure. She slipped into the space and sighed. I hope I find my friends soon, I don't know what I'd do without them. she thought, she wasn't tired at all. But what was that 'StarClan' cat talking about? Did she mean that I had to leave my friends. Does the prophecy involve me leaving my friends? No.. I will never do that...Silver's thoughts were troubled, and for a long time she stayed awake.
Soon Silver fell into a light, uneasy sleep, filled with bad dreams. She awoke several times in the night, very confused, and also cold.
Finally morning came and Silver awoke in the chilled dawn air. It is getting colder...She slid out of her make-shift den stretched, then began to clean her fur. After she was done, Silver decided she needed to hunt.
She set off. With bits of sunlight filtering through the trees and dancing across the ground in front of her, Silver began to feel more optimistic. I'll find the others. I know I can. I have to. she thought as determination surged through her.
Soon Silver scented a mouse and began stalking it. She tried to remember all the training Spark had given her. She kept her tail up, so as not to brush the ground and was careful not to step on debris, so she wouldn't scare her prey. When she was close enough Silver sprang for the mouse. She leapt a bit short and barely manage to reach the mouse and kill it. That was a sloppy catch. Still, prey is prey.
Silver settled down with her prey. She ate the mouse in hungry and quick bites. When she was done she cleaned her whiskers. Now I must search. Silver thought as she rose to her paws.
The silver she-cat set off to find her friends. She tasted the air for any sign of her friends. " Spark? Spot? Mysterious? Where are you?" she called. After searching most of the day the sun started to go down. I don't have much time until night.
Right when Silver was about to give up, a familiar scent bathed her tongue. "Mysterious? Is that you?" she called out hesitantly.
"Yes it is," Mysterious said as she casually walked up to Silver.
"I'm so glad to see you! Soon we will find the others and we can continue on our journey," Silver said, happy not to be alone any more.
Mysterious nodded. "Let's find somewhere to sleep tonight," she suggested.
"Okay," Silver agreed. She began to look around the forest for suitable place to sleep.
After a few moments Mysterious gestured Silver over. She was standing in front of an area of thick undergrowth, it had a hole that the cats could fit under on the bottom. Silver sighed and crawled in. "We can sleep here," Silver announced. A moment later Mysterious slid in after her. Soon the two cats fell asleep.
