A kit's scream pierced the air of the still clearing. Alarmed cats came running out of there dens fear in there eyes. Suddely a queen came bursting out of the nursery her fur ruffled, "Greenkit… Greenkit is DEAD! She was poisoned by—"
I opened my eyes to see green underbrush trying to steady my ragged breath I closed my eyes again telling myself, "It was just a dream… just a dream" Once I had steadied my breath I got to my paws; a almost full moon shown
over my head as I started to follow the small stream that twisted through the trees. The dream and the memories kept me moving. I had to get away I had to leave. I stopped dead in my tracks ears perked nervously I turned and
glanced back the way I had come. Nothing moved and the only scent that came to my nostrils was that of the New-leaf forest.
The sun found me standing at the entrance to a meadow. Purple violets covered it and a few wild irises were opening their buds. My paws felt like lead and I had to try hard to keep my eyes opened. Glancing around the clearing I
decided it was as fine a place as any to sleep. I curled up among a clump of violets and let sleep take me. It was past sun high when I woke for the first time in days I had gotten some sleep with out the dream plaguing me.
Stretching I gave my pelt a few licks; even when I was on the run I couldn't stand having a tangled coat. Suddenly I heard a noise, the soft scampering of little feet. Instinctively I crouched and scented the air; it was a vole and it
was only a few tail lengths away. Silently I crept forward until I could make out the quivering leaves the vole was hidden under. Getting into position, I waited for a heartbeat then pounced catching the vole right between my front
paws. I killed it with a bit then settled down for a meal. As I gazed across the clearing I felt a great longing to settle down, to stop roaming. This seemed like the perfect place the stream cut the meadow in half proving fresh water
for me and for prey. It was full of flowers and food for prey to eat. Plus this was the first place I had stayed were dreams had not haunted my sleep. "Maybe… maybe here I can learn to forget…"

Days turned into weeks and before long the full moon had come again. I had gotten used to living by myself. The clearing was an ideal place to live and I had made myself a nice den in the trees surrounding it. Also I hadn't
smelled or seen any sign of badgers, foxes, or any animal that would do me harm. Slowly I began to relax, I stopped spooking at every single noise and hardly ever patrolled the area for predators. I knew that I should never have
expected to find a place this nice to live in but nonetheless I wanted company and sometimes I longed for my past life.
Lying in the middle of the meadow I reminisced on my past life trying to convince myself that it was better here. I never would have been able to stay; it would have happened sooner or later, I couldn't have stayed I never really
would have been happy. A deep sign erupted from my maw and I stood and padded over to the stream to drink. As I gazed at my reflectionI noticed a fish dart out from under a rock instantly I crouched and peered closer. It had
never occurred to me that I could learn to fish but now I had all the time in the world to learn.
An hour past and so far all I had to show for my work was two soaking wet paws, I had never been a good hunter… of course I had never really needed to be. "Well I'm not going to give up now." Suddenly I saw another fish in
the blink of an eye my paw flashed out and the fish flew into the air the sun reflecting off its wet scales. It landed flopping on the bank and I quickly tried to pin it with my paw to finish it off—"Well, well, well look what we have
here!" I lost my footing and plunged head first into the stream.
A/N DUN DUN DUNNNNNN who the heck was that cat... hehehe I never use to do cliffies but there some much fun maybe I should do them more often. Ok well there was the first chapter... I might actually add a prologue but I might not. Ok now I need to ask some questions
1) Should I remain in first person or switch to 3rd? Truthfully I was going to change this chapter to third but since I already wrote it in first i decided to keep it that way so should it stay in first or swich?
2) Hey I am working on allegiances and if anyone could give me some cat names to use that would be great I will give you credit for the names but if any one has names with or without descriptions I would sure appreciate it
Oh also I need at least two more reviews before I post chapter two
