Author's note
Lots of credit to Moonlit Demise! Enjoy!
I woke up on soft, cool moss. My head throbbed and everything I saw was a blur. But the voices I heard were loud and clear. "We found her in the forest." "She smells of many cats." "Is that cat a threat? Keep her away from my kits!"
I sat up and my head cleared. There was a crowd of cats in front of me. I realized that they were rogues! Some had collars but some didn't. I saw a black she-cat with a snow white chest looking wide-eyed at me. "Keep that scrawny thing away from me!" I saw that she had a collar. If I hadn't been so tired and bewildered, I would've ripped that cat's head off. How dare she! A gray tom quickly told her something that made her calm down.
He then walked over to me. "How are you feeling?" My words got stuck in my throat. He was so handsome! No. An inner voice told me. I am a medicine cat. I cleared my throat and spoke again.
"Fine. I-I'm fine. Where am I?" My voice was croaky as I asked. I tried to stand up, but my legs buckled and I collapsed onto the ground. I saw the slightest glint of amusement in his eyes. "I'm not so sure about that." He replied. My head swirled and fell unconscious again.
It must've been a few days because when I woke up, the cats weren't all gathered there. What was that tom's name? Lucky for me, I saw him walking towards me. "Does your head still hurt?"He asked. I shook my head. "We had found you in the forest, knocked out and murmuring something." He explained. It was probably one of my nightmares. "I had decided that we take you in." He explained. "But what's your name?" I blurted out. He bowed his head. "I used to have one before we were exiled." I sat up straight. Exiled?
