     Hi, my name is dark, well thats what my mum called me. I have two sisters, swan and flower. Our mum abandoned us in this turkey farm about one week ago. We don't know what happened to her but she just....disappered. My sister,swan, is all white with amber eyes. She's really carring about our other sister and me. My other sister,flower, is black and white with blue eyes. She's the littlest out of us and we are all ways watching out for her. We had three other siblings but, mum says that a fox killed two of them and the other one was dead when he was born.

   I sat there wating for swan to return. Me and swan take turns looking for food. I watched flower chase a moth around the turkey building. We sleep in an abandon one of those that upwalkers use for their turkeys. I was trying to stay out of the blazing sun beating down on my back. My orange pelt glimmered in the sun. It was so hot out. Swan came up behind me with some bits of chicken and some bits of bread. She set it down on the ground by me.

"that looks good" I said "how did you get it?"

Swan looked at me "I found it in some thing upwalkers call a dumpster" she said out of breath" but some ally cats saw what I had and I ran for my life."

     I looked worried at her because, she could have gotten herself killed. I stood up and streached and walked over to flower. Flower was crouched down twiching her tail ready to pounce on the moth. She heard me walk tward her, and turned around.

"oh hi" she said as her bubbly self "did you see.....i almost caught that moth dark I almost did!"

"thats great" I said to her "swan got some chicken and bread for brunch"

"yum"she said as she barreled tward swan in the old turkey barn.

    I giggled and chased after her. I ran into the barn and swan gave me some bits of the chicken and bread. I bent down and began to eat it. It has been two days since we have eaten we haven't had any luck finding any kind of food. And when we did ally cats stole it from us 'cause were kittens and can't fight.

      It started getting dark outside. Mum told us to never go outside at night cause their are foxes and other stuff that could get us. We snuggled in our nest that had turky feathers and moss. We always had flower sleep in the middle of us 'cause she's the smallest and we don't want her to get sick.

   "do..do you think mum will come for us?" asked flower.

I paused 'cause I don't know if she will come back for us too!!! I swalowed the lump that formed in my throat. "I..I think so I bet she's comming for us right this second" I said lying to her.

"I hope so..." flower snuggled closer to me "can you tell a story dark?"

"can you?" asked swan too.

"well...sure" I said happy trying to smile.

"okay once upon a time" I began "long ago, in a forest far from where we live, lived wild forest cats."

Mum always told us this story....about clan cats. I always loved to hear this story. I wondered what the forest cats were like but, mum said that they were vicious and crule. I went on with the story but, I kept thinking what if we met a forest cat? Flower fell asleep quickly, and swan was trying to stay awake but, edventually she fell asleep as well. I finished the story and put my head down on the floor. I looked up at the hole in the roof of the barn and looked at the stars. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

oh yeh darkhearts promise ,okay so she isn't a clan cat yet.........this is way before icepaw's time(if you've noticed) this is right around bluestar's prochecy(or how ever you spell it) when bluestar is a apprentice. dark is still a kitten (about 3 months old) but as you read on in the story she is not always what she seems.........i'll have the second chapter up soon.....
