Prologue
Ketris and her parents were fleeing from their burning home. Who would DO such a thing? The young badger thought. She was barely more than an infant and she was being driven from the only home she had ever had. She looked back, but her mother rushed her on. Her father stopped.
"Take Ket. Get her away from here. I'll take care of them." He looked at his wife and daughter for the last time. Tears formed in all of their eyes. He turned away and left them to run. It was the last Ket or her mother ever saw of him.
Ketris and her mother traveled for days. They set up small camps on the side of the path. It was at one of these camps that her life was changed forever-Again. She had taken a nap, and when she woke up, the camp was destroyed, and her mother lay dead in the center. She stayed there crying for an hour, and then she was found. A large badger strolled into the camp. She immediately noticed his stripes. Oh, yes, they were there, and visible, but they were white. Pure white. White as snow. He spoke to her in a deep voice. "Hello, little threestriped one. What seems to be the matter?" He named her referring to the strange third black stripe that ran down the center of her normal white forestripe. "Mama! What happened to Mama?" She cried. She looked up and the adult could see that her face was streaked with tears. "I'm afraid it's too late for your mother, Threestripe. I'm Whitestripe. I'll take you in. I have a nice, big family, and we'd love to have you. What's your name?" "Ketris. Ket for short." "Wonderful. Well Ket, come with me. I'll help you."
And so the Threestripe met the Whitestripe, and the adventure begun.
This is my first fan-fic, so be kind!
