Chapter 1
"Lilac! Get over here!" A voice growled at me
A brown tom with a ripped ear walked towards me. His tail lashed the ground and sends dust flying into the air.
I stumble as I get up and stand before the tom.
I look into his green eyes.
"What is it, Shade?" I ask the cat without hesitation even though he looked intimidating
"You're fighting tomorrow. Don't let us down." He wiped around and stalked into the shadow of the twoleg dumpster
I sit down with a sigh. Ever since my foster father died, I joined a group of cats. They call themselves Ravensoul. Every corner of twolegplace lurks a different group. They participate in weekly fights against other groups. Each group sends up one cat to stand for their group. The reward for winning is a quarter of each group's fresh-kill for the rest of the week.
Paw steps interrupt my thoughts.
A turn my head to see a cream colored she-cat padding towards me. She is missing chunks of fur on her flank and has a scar on her muzzle.
"Hey Lilac! I'm back from the fresh-kill delivery to Crescentmoon. What's up? Did Shade pick you to fight? Huh? Huh? Tell me!"
Her eagerness made me smile.
"Yeah, I'm fighting tomorrow. Catch anything on the way here?" I ask her
She looked down at her paws and flattened her ears.
"No. I got into a fight with a cat from Foxtrot. He had no right to take my rat!" Fury blazed into her eyes as she scraped her claws on the ground
My eyes widened. Cats from Foxtrot are supposed to be away from this area but since Crescentmoon took over their lot, they have been forced to move.
"What happened?"
She paused.
"I caught a juicy rat and then a tom from Foxtrot jumped on me! A dog suddenly showed up and we both ran in opposite directions. He even took my fresh-kill with him! That jerk!"
"Calm down Reed. I'll beat up Foxtrot tomorrow at the fight. Foxtrot always had the weak, arrogant cats." I smiled at Reed
She softened her gaze and began to pad away, back out of our alley to the main streets of twolegplace.
There are six groups that attend the weekly fights. One lives near the forest, they are called Sunset. Another group lives on the north side of twolegplace, they are called Crescentmoon; one of the most dangerous groups. Another lives on the west side, they are called Cobra. Foxtrot lives in the north- east side but due to the current situation, they are closer to the east side than north-east. We, Ravensoul, live in the east-south side. We recently took over the east side so Foxtrot is forced to live in the cramped space in between us and Crescentmoon. We are also considered quite dangerous. The group that hosts the weekly fights is Wolfspirit. They live in the center of twolegplace. They are another one of the most dangerous of all six groups.
Tomorrow, I will have to fight one cat from each group. Not a problem, since I can defeat all five other groups, paws down. The only thing is that Wolfspirit and Ravensoul are natural rivals. So that means that they are always a challenge.
Our group has sixteen cats including me, but Wolfspirit has always matched our skills and tactics so they also have sixteen. Each cat has a destined rival in our two groups. Cats trained to match a certain cat. I am the second in command in Ravensoul. She is also the second in command in Wolfspirit. Her name is Blossom.
