Taken Chapter 1:

Clover stretched and gave her chest fur a couple licks. She rose herself from the ground and smelled the air. She felt like she was starving, then the scent of a juicy mouse pricked her nose. She creeped toward it and pounced, she landed on top of it and gave it a swift bite to the neck. She tore into it and ate it in a couple ravenous gulps. Clover licked her jaws for the last taste. Her mate came back with a giant rabbit, almost as big as she was. "Hi Clover, want to share this giant somewhat of a creature?" He meowed with a mrrow of amusement. She dipped her head and said, "Oh if I knew you were gonna come back with a giant rabbit I wouldn't have caught a mouse, sorry Widow." He nodded shortly and dragged it to the middle of the clearing,and set it down. Clover narrowed her eyes, "Are you going to eat that?". He shook his head and rasped, "Let's save it for Crooked." Crooked was Clover's brother, his name use to be Rock but he was attacked by three other cats, and he now he is blind and has a crooked nose. She nodded and walked off to tell him. He was laying in his nest and Clover poked him and said "Wake up you lazy dormouse, there is a rabbit waiting to be eaten." She put her tail around him to guide him, but he pushed it away and growled "I can walk you know." He can be a bit harsh but he is very mushy inside. His blind green eyes widened at the rabbit but he licked his paws and rasped "I can hunt myself!" Clover pulled a face and hissed back, "Widow caught this thing, and you're gonna eat it!" Crooked was already padding into the trees with his tail high in the air. Clover rolled her eyes and asked if Mint wanted it, she nodded and padded towards the now semi stale piece of prey. She bit into it and chewed slowly. "Are you feeling okay to check the borders with me?" Clover asked, Mint had been sick for the last couple days. Mint jumped up and said "YES ILL ASK STONE RIGHT AWAY!" Stone was the medicine cat, who had been huddled in his den for the last couple days, saying he was dreaming of a prophecy. He was in his den sorting herbs and mumbling to himself. His eyes were wide with terror. "Am I we'll enough to go on border check?" He ran out of the den and bolted past Mint without answering her. She rolled her eyes and sprinted to him."The prophecy!" He mumbled. He ran up to Clover, and yowled "Ragged spoke to me! He said that the dark forest was upon a cat with a mate and a brother! None of us have that besides you Clover!" Stone's sister, Sparrow had died of green cough a moon ago, and he never seemed to let go of that. Ragged was our older medicine cat, who died of a rat bite infection, and often speaks to Stone in Starclan. Clover's eyes were wide with worry. Widow ran to her side and unsheathed his claws, "Not if I can help it!" he growled. Crooked came back with no prey with his ears folded back. " No prey of course!" He padded over to the half eaten rabbit and gulped some down. Clover shook her head, and put her face into Widow's blue- gray fur. She yawned and padded to her nest. "We will do a border check tomorrow." She fell into a deep sleep, and awoke to find herself in a bright, green forest. Sparrow padded up to her.
