The Heart of Rain

Chapter 1

Rain opened her jaws into a yawn. The sky above shown through the trees. It was the cold, clear light of the upcoming season of leaf~bare.
It's a perfect day for hunting. She thought. Getting up from her nest.

She wondered off into the the woods
She opened her jaw, it filled with the scent of mouse. She watched a mouse streak across the forest floor. She got into a low crouch when her brother, Blade, jumped on her back. They tumbled down into a stream.
"Ha scared you, didn't I!" Purred Blade.
"NO! You didn't I almost had a mouse!" Rain hissed.
"Oh, sorry."
Blades brown fur raised up. His ice blue eyes stared at her. She didn't meet his gaze. She trotted away ...

Blades fur bristled in anger as he walked back to the alley. When he saw his his father sitting on the dumpster with his leader Scourge, all the cats were gathering around.
A tiny kitty pet tom looked fearfull
As Scourge walked down from the dumpster.
"Hello kitty pet!" he spat.
"Uh uh.."
"What scared kitty?"Bone hissed.
"No!"
"Then why are you shaking."
I... I. I'm not!"
"Well kitty want to join blood clan?"
"Um well..."
"Here's your options kitty join or die"
"Uh NO THANK YOU."
He growled
"BONE KILL HIM "
The tom looked into bones eyes.
the tom unsheathed his claws.
The Tom sprang into the air at the same time as Bone. Bone raked the toms stomach open. Then sliced the toms neck. The Tom slowly fell to the ground, gasping for air.. His eyes closed . All the cats were quiet and started to talk . One she~cat who's
Stomach is swollen with kits looked up at Scourge. Scourge looked down at the brown she cat. "what's wrong my love?"
"Why do I love YOU!" She spat

Scourges eyes grew wide with anger as he jumped down from the dumpster.
"once those kits are born, I will KILL YOU!"
All the cats gasped
Scourge looked at the she~cat
"Now leave my sight" he growled
The she cat nodded and walked away.

Blade sat down and layed his head down on his paws and closed his eyes. He could smell rabbit, it was Rain standing in the ally with a rabbit in her jaws. Bone looked at her proud. "bring that to your leader " he meowed .
Rain just nodded and padded off. Scourge took it into his jaws and threw the bones of the rabbit to his clan. The cats chewed in the bones, trying to break them, but they couldn't. all cats went to sleep in the giant box in the corner of the alley, Rain curled up next to Blade and whispered into his ear " In a moon or so I'm going to escape this Terrible clan"
blades eyes widened "What are you thinking?" he whispered. " Do you want to die?"
" No, but honestly I can't take watching cats die everyday of my life!"
"true, but I don't want to die please don't, I don't want to lose you, Ive only had you since mom was killed.
"I'm sorry Blade, but why don't you just come with me?"
