We're at the 20th chapter! CELEBRATION! I never thought I'd make it this far with -any- of my stories. Thank you all who have read and reviewed so far! And, today, my story will have been up for FOUR MONTHS! (See how slow I am?) Oh, and thank you all who said my story didn't suck! That gave me a happiness boost!

Ratpaw stretched out her long claws, then retracted them. She felt sore and old as the elders as she stretched her muscles.
"My turn," She mewed to an almost-sleeping Tsunamipaw. The cats had eventually gotten so tired, they decided to rest in two small brown cubes. The couldn't let their guard down, though, so one cat kept watch at all times. Ratpaw had the last shift, as the sun was already rising. In the East, the sun had streaked the sky with orange and pink, and lit the dark sky so it turned a cerulean blue. in the West, the sky was a dark blue, and stars dotted it. A sliver of the moon was in a far corner. When the sun had graced all corners of the sky, Ratpaw rose to wake the others.
"Time to go," She whispered to Whitepelt.
Once everone was up, Ashfur led the way-- although he didn't know where they were going. Luckily, Ratpaw was there o tell him where to go. Somehow, she knew the way-- like she'd been wherever they were going before.
Ratpaw didn't notice, but she had grown on this journey. Her kitten-looks were gone, and her dull brown fur had a pretty golden tint to it, withtwo streaks of silver behind her ears. She was growing into a beautiful she-cat indeed, and Ashfur was noticing. Tsunamipaw watched Ashfur like a hawk now, ready to pounce.
"Kitty!" A Twoleg kit's voice rang out around the cats.
"Run!" Whitepelt ordered.
They took off, weaving through the many Twolegs of the city.
Soon they could hear the sobbing kit, and its mother trying to comfort it in the scratchy, harsh tones of the Twolegs.
The cats had noticed that the towers ad thinned out, there were less of them and more space between them. Ratpaw's heart soared. Not only because they were out of the fast-paced city, but because they were closer to their goal.
Tsunamipaw yawned. He blinked his eyes open, adjusting to the light. Ratpaw and Whitepelt were already up, talking. Ashfur was still sleeping, curled up in a ball a little ways off. Tsunamipaw pawed the dark gray tabby awake.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
His sister nodded. "We're so close." Her eyes sparkled.
Ashfur nodded.
I promise chapter 21 will be longer! I'm only gonna ask for two reviews, again.
