Chapter 1
Raven woke with a start. It was that dream again. He had been having nightmares for the past moon* about drowning. He sighed, got up, and stretched. Yet another dull day of being locked in the house. Suddenly Raven remembered that sometimes his twolegs* left the kitchen window open. Patiently, he waited for them to leave. Then he hopped up onto the counter and squeezed through the cracked window. Finally, he was out. Now to go find Little and Racer. Maybe they would be interested in his dream. They were part of it, after all. Raven found Little chasing butterflies in his garden. Little had gotten his name because, well, he was small! He was also a bit skittish. After convincing him to leave the butterfly alone and follow him, Raven set out to find Racer. He found Racer relaxing in the grass. Racer had gotten his name by being the fastest cat in the neighborhood. After practically dragging him along, Raven told them about his dream.
"That sounds serious!" Little said, sounding scared.
"You dragged me away from my nap for this?" Racer asked, sounding disinterested, "Who is this 'Smoke' cat anyways? I've never heard of her."
"Neither have I, but I've been having this nightmare for moons now, and I'm starting to think It might be important."
"Well, you two have fun figuring this mystery out. I'm going to finish my nap - Hey lemme go!." Racer yelped as Raven grabbed him by the scruff.
"If we're going to figure out what these dreams are about, YOU'RE going to help us!"
