Fireheart woke up to a noise outside of his shelter, he fluffed up his fur to stay warmer as he steped out into the chilly morning air, he noticed that the noise that woke him up came from a group of twoleg kits close by.
He quickly turned around and walked away before they spotted him, as he walked his belly growled from the lack of food.
He decided that he would go hunt or scavenge something to eat before he went and found his twolegs.
As he was searching for food he splashed into a puddle and saw his reflection, his fur wasn't as well groomed anymore as it once was and had mud all over it. He reminded himself to groom his fur once he was done searching for food, so he could look more presentable. Before continuing he took a couple of sips of water to satisfy his thirst.
After searching for a while he found a nice plump pigeon that was eating crumbs from the hard rocky made sure the bird was downwind before he got into a hunters crouch, after calculating the distance, he pounced. He landed on the pigeon and bit into its neck before it could fly away.
What a mousebrained bird, it was just sitting there waiting to be caught, the kittypets here never hunt them, probably the birds don't even know cats could be a danger.
After finishing his pigeon he buried the bones and kept on going toward his old twoleg nest.
Along the way there was a Huge Thunderpath that he had to cross, with more monsters on it than he had ever seen. There was so many that all the monsters put together that he had seen was nothing compared to this.
He mad his way further down the Huge Thunderpath, until he found a bridge the monsters were using to cross a river. Fireheart went under the bridge and stayed close to the sides so that he would not fall in.
As he was walking things started to look more familiar, he could even see some places he played in as a kit. He saw the park which was one of his favorite places a s a kit. He remembered that one time at the park he and smudge had fought a very small dog and after a small battle they sent it away with its tail between its legs. Ahhh those are good memories, and I hope I'll see Smudge again.
Soon after a short while he found his old home, his new home now. He jumped onto the short white fence and sat on it for a while before he jumped down into the yard that he spent a big chunk of his kithood in.
While Fireheart was looking at all the places that he remembered, he heard a noise to only see a she-cat come out of the Twoleg nest, she was pure white and had a blue collar. Fireheart felt his hopes come plummeting down as soon as he saw her. I should have known that my old owners would have got a new pet by now, how could I have been so mousebrained.
When the she-cat finally saw him she was surprised at first but got over it quickly. She hissed at him and when he didn't go away she pounced on him. It was a clumsy pounce and Fireheart easily sidestepped out of the way. The she cat missed Fireheart by about a taillength and went tumbling into a bush behind him.
Then she stood up and looked at him in a hostile way, and asked, "What's your name, and what are you doing in my territory"?
"My name is Fireheart and this is my old home, so I came to give it a visit" he mewed.
"Oh, well my name is Snow and sorry about me attacking you I thought you were trying to take my territory, also wasn't the last cat that lived here named Rusty" she mewed.
"I am Rusty, I just changed my name to fit into the place where I used to live" Fireheart answered.
"You smell and look like a forest cat" Snow mewed.
"That is what I became after I left my owners" he said, "so why are you here not there" she asked. I…don't want to talk about it" Fireheart mewed. "Well I really don't want to know about it, still it was nice meeting you Fireheart, but I've got to go now".
Snow walked back inside leaving Fireheart alone once again. Fireheart looked around his old home for a second before he jumped the fence and left. Fireheart had no idea where he was going but he just kept on walking in a random direction thinking about, What should I do now?
This was a big question for him, as he had absolutely no idea about what he should do. At one point he considered about suicide but quickly dropped the idea as only a mousebrain would do that. After a while of pointless walking Fireheart went under a bush and fell asleep trying to rid himself of his problem for a while.
Its been four days after he had met Snow and he was getting really hungry and had no idea where he was.
As Fireheart kept on walking in a pointless direction he noticed he was going into the heart of the Twolegplace, he remembered the stories of the evil cats who lived there and that they showed no mercy to anyone. That they lived just for seeing blood come out of their enemies.
He shuddered at the thought of meeting with a group of these cats.
As he kept on walking he saw two rogues eating a dead bird, He felt his hunger rising when he saw them eat. He set out to search for something to hunt, but after finding nothing but a rat that he still failed to catch, Fireheart forced himself to dig through the trash.
It reeked in there but it was worth it cause he did find some pieces of chicken. As he was enjoying the good weather and delicious chicken, three rogues came up to him, two of them had pure black pelts and looked like twins but the other one had an orange pelt with a white belly, he was pretty big too and looked like their leader.
"What are you doing in my alley, loner" the leader said.
"I was just trying to get some food" Fireheart replied calmly.
"So you were just trying to get some food in my alley, do you know what we do to cats who come in my alley" he mewed.
"No, I do not" Fireheart mewed even though he had a pretty good idea of what they do.
"We kill them that's what and you are going to join the list of the ones who died here" and with those words said the leader pounced.
Fireheart reacted quickly and slid under his opponent and slashed at his belly.
The leader yowled in pain and backed up.
Fireheart quickly jumped onto his back and held on as the leader tried to shake him off.
Then Fireheart delivered a killing bite to the neck. The orange tom fell to the ground dead.
Fireheart turned around just in time to see the two black toms attack him.
They were smaller than him but were also faster, they would deliver blows and strikes and retreat they kept this up until Fireheart had barely any energy and a dozen cuts.
He fell down defeated, "This is what you get for killing Blaze" they both mewed at the same time.
One of them put his claws on his throat preparing to kill.
When all of a sudden the cat that was about to kill Fireheart got thrown off of him straight into a wall, he fell to the ground dead.
The cat who just saved his life was a big muscular gray tom with a red collar that had dog and cat teeth in it.
The other small black tom screeched from furry and made a foolish mistake of attacking the gray tom, it was his last mistake ever as the gray tom easily overpowered him and slit his throat, then the gray tom started walking toward Fireheart.
Fireheart never felt so scarred as he thought the tom was going to kill him, but instead he just sat down next to him.
Fireheart just looked at him one last time before he lost conscious. When Fireheart awoke he was in a box, how did I get here, was the first thing that came to his mind. After waiting for a while he heard someone coming, the gray tom entered the box with a rat in his jaws, he dropped the rat next to Fireheart.
"Eat" was all he said, as Fireheart started eating, the tom asked him "why were you attacked by them".
"I was just trying to get some food and apparently I was in their alley" Fireheart mewed.
"What is your name" Fireheart asked.
"My name is Snake, and what is your name" he mewed.
Fireheart thought about if he should tell him his name or make up a more loner type of name.
Then he answered, "My name is Flame".
So yeah I decided to rename Fireheart into Flame
