This is my first story with my new account. I write pretty often, but I'm not too good at it. I wouldn't mind some reviews of the chapters, even some critics. I'm hoping it's enjoyable. But I'm still figuring out how something's work around here. Thanks!
Spark strode down the sullen streets, stopping by an alley, an amber pair of eyes glared back at her, hissing, Spark, taken by surprise, she leap on forwards. Continuing to stride down the gloomy pathways in search of something...Something big, something thought of as scary. Deadly even. But she didn't look scared. With her tail high in the air, a squeal pierced the midnight air. Instead of feeling calm and relaxed in the midnight chill, she felt hot, forgetting how dangerous it was out here at night, she bolted down the alley-ways, getting herself lost in the maze of the two leg place. With possibly what she was looking for could be chasing her to her doom. But thinking about it briefly, she had no Idea what could be chasing her, she didn't even know what she was looking at. Or if she was even being chased. She thought of stopping to fight, before she remember the shrill scream, that managed to shake her body. Running past a two leg house with a white fence, she stopped, something shook her body, telling her to just go inside, she shrugged, but leaped over the fence and landed on soft... grass? Something she hadn't felt in ages, she seemed to be on the edge of the twoleg place. Panting for breath, she looked at the forest ahead. But she found herself padding towards the abandoned twoleg nest a few tail lengths away. As she tried to turn around and walk towards the grassy forest, she heard a mewling sound from inside the house, one of the sounds sounded the same as the shrill squeal that reminded her how she had came here. But how could that cat get here so quickly, though pausing quickly, she had no idea how long she had been running for.
"Hello?" Spark meowed quietly. Another mewling sound answered her;
"Help!" It cried out, but a different voice, there are two cats here! She thought, And one of them is in danger! She reminded herself. Walking through the smaller dark nest. Which brought her to think about where she would sleep tonight.
Scenting each room carefully, she smelt the scent of milk.
Wait...what? Following it, she was lead to a room filled with soft, colourful boulders! Touching one with a paw, she heard another plea for her aid. Spinning around, she saw a tiny soft boulder on its side. sort of... shaking? She ran towards it, rearing and pushing her paws down hard, knocking it back to its original position. Two scraps of fur, one a pretty cream colour, the other, a slightly orange-y creamy colour. Maybe even a ginger, or a yellow and a slight possibility of Russet. Thought she couldn't see in the darkness.
"Are you alright?" She asked quietly. Licking the scared cream coloured kit over the ear.
The ginger, (well maybe) nodded, wrapping his tail around the cream she-kit.
The cream she-kit whimpered and frowned, twitching her tail
"My names Featherkit" She meowed quietly "and this is my littermate Lionkit"
C-clan names? Clans are real things? I thought they were just stories loners told...
"We escaped from our camp" Lion said, bouncing up and down. "And found our way here" His tone dropped "Then that soft boulder fell on us..." He pointed with his tail
"And we've been trapped since sun high" Featherkit sighed.
"Its moonhigh" Spark pointed out.
"Oh foxdung!" Lionkit gasped, "What about Cloudheart?"
They exchanged nervous glances and dashed off without saying anything. Spark twitched her ear. Frowning angrily.
I possibly saved their lives!
With a quick glance at the exit, she smiled greedily and followed the tracks out of the nest.
The scream that made spark run was just a battle between cats so I won't probably get around to that part. And if you didn't know, the smaller 'soft boulder' or couch/sofa was just a bean bag. But of course they didn't know if it was on its side. Spark is a ginger tabby by the way- The story will get more exiting later on, just wait with me.
I don't think this story will be very popular anyways. But if it does, I'd like some reviews, it'd make my day, really! I hope I'm not copying anyone, I've read Snatched: the story of snowkit, which I really enjoyed. And a few blue exorcist, nightvale and homestuck ones too. So I hope this story isn't offensive to anyone. And if you like this story (If anyone reads it) please tell your friends, family or anyone!
Chapter 2: Finding a new home
Spark was close of the tail of Featherkit and Lionkit, crossing the strong scent of lots of cats, she faintly picked up the kits scents. Breaking into a slight run, then a sprint, until she could smell them in front of her!Peeringsilently over the bushes, she spotted Lionkit poking his head into a bush. Pulling out a shiny red berry, Featherkit licked her lips behind him. It took Spark only a moment to figure out what had happened.
Lionkit was going to eat a death berry, or as referred to in the city, 'Yew' Berries.
If she helped him, it would give away her identity. But otherwise, she would watched an innocent kit die in front of her. She couldn't interfere here. Featherkit suddenly looked confused, or shocked, Spark couldn't see from this angle. As lionkit squished the berry with his teeth, Spark watched hopelessly as the juice flew down his throat. Featherkit didn't look surprised, but anxious, she looked around, as if hoping there'd be some sort of sign, cat or herb. Though Spark doubted that she knew that much about herbs. She bit her lip before jumping into the clearing, Looking at Lionkit's tiny, quivering body. Scenting the air, she smelt a tang of Yarrow? She followed it quickly, determined, she found Featherkit was following, she seemed to know Spark was stalking them, so she didn't really make too much of a deal that she hadn't stopped Lionkit eating the berry.
Ripping up the plant hastily, handing half to Featherkit. She took them quickly following her own scent back towards the clearing, she paused and stared, glancing at Spark. Spark sighed, dabbing her paw at Lionkit. Lionkit let out a tiny squeak and his sides stopped moving. Featherkit wailed in distress,
"Wait.." Spark grabbed each bit of the herb, shoving it down Lionkits throat. Lionkit's sides heaved gently, but shallow, as he threw up the berry. Featherkit smiled, almost. Lionkit was breathing fine in no time. But Featherkit didn't look satisfied. Spark glanced behind her to see three, large cats. Both looking at the bits of death berry that Lionkit had thrown up in her paw and Lionkits still body, though he was breathing.
The third cat, a she-cat, let out a wail "My son!" She whimpered. Letting grief turn into anger, she threw herself at Spark, No cat stopped the battle. But featherkit seemed distressed. Staring at Lionkit, and back at Sparks attacker, her mom, Cloudheart. Almost as if she was begging for Lionkit to get up. After time had passed, Cloudheart was sturdily pinning Spark to the ground. No wound touched her sleek fur, but Spark seemed drenched in blood. Featherkit let out a yowl and made herself clear to the patrol
"This cat is no murderer! She is a hero!" Cloudheart snorted "Come here Featherkit, I'll protect you" She said with a hiss, directed towards Spark. She held her tail out towards her daughter, offering her safety.
Featherkit shook her head. "I told you once! This cat, saved Lionkit! Are you mouse-brained? Can you not smell the Yarrow? Can you not see that Lionkit is breathing? Why did you attack this cat without looking at the evidence?" Featherkit seemed enraged. As if she was losing all of her loved ones in a single day. Spark breathed gently. "F-Featherkit" She choked "It's fi-fine, moth-mothers are l-like that" Spark managed to whisper softly. But Featherkit ignored it. "Mother, get off her right now, take her to camp, let's get Roseleaf to look at her wounds" Cloudheart stuttered a tiny reply, that Spark could not hear. But featherkit glared back as another she-cat picked up Lionkit over her back
"Thank you, Fawngaze." Said the last tom, "At least some of us are helping" He glared at the queen. "Dewwhisker. It's alright" She meowed, passing by the tom with ease, No argument or tension was gained between the two.
"Come home" Featherkit said to Spark.
Home? She purred, she liked that word, something she never had, but it seemed she had just been offered a place in their clan.
This does feel like home she thought, glancing towards Featherkit, who was smiling, but asking Dewwhisker to help Spark at the same time. She was hauled up onto the toms back. Resting her eyes, she pondered if she would like it there, getting into deep thought about the word 'clan' it meant a lot. Cats who care for you, you don't fear dying alone... Its special She opened her eyes and saw a huge clearing, though not much was happening, there was a small white she-cat lying upon a big ledge, talking to another cat about patrols, but that was almost it besides the patrol itself. Is this really home?
Yeah, okay lame. Not much happened besides Cloudheart's over reaction. Though not really a spoiler, but Spark will have an overreaction (not telling which emotion) About this place. Before she understands anything and moves to the apprentice den. Sorry. This should of been up here sooner
