         Ferret panted to a stop and turned back to see her right shoulder. She winced at the sudden pain that bolted in and the sight of blood. She stumbled down from the excruciating feeling, and just laid there, wishing, hoping, praying it would go away soon. Ferret instantly pricked her ears, as the sound of a twig snapping hit her. She stuck up her nose to sniff the air and alarm jolted her. Other cats! She growled, trying to keep the desperation out of her voice, "I can fight you! Whoever you are!"

         "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down!" A cream molly stepped out of some nearby ferns. "You are in NO shape to fight, and anyway, you're just a kit."

         Ferret fumed, "I am four and a half moons just so you know!" She observed the new feline and snorted, "You're just a kitten yourself."

         The other she-cat nonchalantly mewed, "What's you're name?"

        "Ferret."

         The cream kitten tilted her head, "Do you come from the meadows?"

        "Nope," she shrugged.

        "You're a rogue aren't you!?" she gasped.

        What's a rogue? "I guess?" she agreed, confused though.

         The cream molly seemed more cautious now, "I'm Daffodil. What are you doing on Forest Colony territory?"

        Territory!? There was only one group of cats that had 'territory', and they were the clans, "You're a clan cat! Please don't hurt me!!" Memories of her mother's death flooded in and tear pricked her eyes, Ferret rapidly blinked to drive them away.

        "How can I hurt you, I'm just a kit," Daffodil pondered for a moment, "You should probably go, some grown-ups will come looking for me soon, and if they see you..."

         "Looking for you?"

         Daffodil sheepishly shuffled her paws, "I'm not allowed to be out here yet."

         It was nice meeting a feline the same age as her. The past two moons had just been her fighting for survival in the city. Any new feline she met would try to kill her, not start a conversation.

         Some ferns rustled causing Ferret to jump, an unfamiliar voice called out, "Daffodil!! Daffodil!! Where are you!!" They stepped through some bushes, popping into Ferret's eyesight, "There you are!" As their eyes turned towards Ferret, their relieved smile turned into a snarl, "WHO ARE YOU!?"

         Ferret was frozen in fear. Colony cats. Her breathing became quick and shallow as she struggled to intake air. The world around her suddenly became blurry and she struggled to stay on her paws as dizziness took over. Soon, she couldn't fight it anymore, she collapsed and everything was black.

First chapter!!! How was it!?

I know it was quite small(424 words), but I'm not planning to make any of the chapters quite long. This will be like a practice book to me to test out my writing skills. Work will still be put into it though.

Expect maybe 1 or 2 chapters a week, and maybe even more!!
