Chapter 2
A small brownish-tan she-cat with white speckles all along her back was curled up in her nest, asleep.
Bark exclaimed, "Forestfawn, there is an intruder in our territory."
Instantly the small she-cat was up, staring at Ebony with bright, brown, fawn-like eyes. "What is your business here?"
Ebony felt as if her eyes were piercing his inner soul. "I-I came to run from my housefolk, m-ma'am. They mistreated me."
Forestfawn eyed Ebony slowly. "Have you ever caught prey?"
The tom nodded nervously. "A-A few t-times."
"Would you be loyal to our Tribe?" the she-cat asked.
Ebony frowned. "What do you mean?"
Forestfawn sighed. "The Tribe of the Green Forest is dying. We need more tree-guards and prey-hunters, and it takes a long time to train our to-bes well."
Ebony frowned. "To-bes?"
The brown she-cat smiled. "Cats learning how to be tree-guards or prey-hunters."
The black tom nodded. "I see. Would this make me a part of the Tribe, ma'am?"
The Healer nodded. "And call me Forestfawn."
The tom smiled. "Then I'll do it, Forestfawn."
Sorry for the short chapters, everyone! The next ones will be longer, I promise!
