CHAPTER 1
PART 3
Shadow jumped on the lowest rock, then to the next, and the next, before Flame and Leaf began to follow. When all three had made it half-way up the cliff they stopped, breathing heavily.
"We... We did it! I can't believe it!" cried Leaf.
"Come on let's go!" cried Shadow. The two followed him to the right end of the cliff. There was a small cave in the wall next to them that went to the other side of the cliff. This was the secret Shadow was talking about! The three ran through it to the other side, but there were only two ways to go... Backwards... Or down...
"Jump!" cried Shadow.
His friends stared at him in awe, "What!? Are you crazy!?" cried Flame. "There is no way I am going to jum-" but Flame was cut off when, suddenly Shadow pushed, both Flame and Leaf off the edge... And jumped after them...
Shadow gasped for breath as he rose to the surface of the water, and he began wading to the land, which was hard to do because of his twisted leg, but he made it safely.
When he stepped on soft ground again he was amazed. It was so... Different to be out of the camp without another cat watching his every move. They were safe now...
They were free...
"Shadow you did it! We are free!" cried Flame and Leaf.
