     The next thing I knew, I in a place that looked like the inside of a tree. "Where am I...?" I open my eyes to see the tomcat who had saved me. He was standing over me, a worried and surprised look in his eyes. I got the first real glimpse of him... He was a tom with neat, yellowish fur and a white belly. He sat in a patch of sunlight, which made him look like a blazing star. I took a look at my surroundings. It was a small place, full of sunlight and soft moss. It smelled like the forest.

    I drank in the scent until the Tom said: "h-hi, I'm Moss. What's your name?"

    "My name is fluffy-"

    Moss snorted. "Sorry.. Go on.." He said, amusement in his eyes.

    "I didn't choose my name, you know. I've been thinking of changing it," I replied.

    "Sorry." There was still amusement in his voice.

    "Were you the one who saved me? It was so scary falling out of my home."

    "Yeah.. And WHOOO you're heavy!"

    I was getting tired of his attitude, so I decided to change the subject. "Anyway, where are we?"

    "This is the hollow I live in, " He replied, "Have you heard of the clans? The cats who live around the lake? I've been considering moving out of my hollow and joining one of them."

   They seemed familiar. "I think one of my friends, spot, came over to visit and she told me a story about them..."

    We continued chatting until the birds stopped chirping and we heard crickets. "Oh.. It's night already! I'm getting sleepy. I'm gonna sleep," said Moss as he curled up in his nest. I was getting pretty tired as well, so I decided to curl up and sleep as well.
