Sweetkit wriggled out of the trash the looked around. A small rat hung from her jaws and she padded proudly across the alley. The sharp scent filled her nose and the blood was awful. She set it down and a licked her jaw. She peered closer at the rat.
It was covered in trash and an awful scent rose from it. She shook her head and ate it quickly.
Sweetkit stomach hurt as she padded across the twoleg walkpath. She curled up in a bush and shivered. A warm, soft scent filled her nose when she drifted to sleep.

Sweetkit woke surrounded by strange scents. A large white cat was beside her.
Sweetkit scrambled to her paws and stared at the tom. "Hey!" He snarled. "Stop movin', yall wake Lilac!" He grumbled. Sweetkit edged away.
"Hey you, over here!" Sweetkit turned around as a voice spoke behind her. A brown she-cat slid out from under a chair. "I'm Lilac." She was a slender, creamy brown she-cat with white paws and huge blue eyes.
"I'm Sweetkit... Where am I?" She squeak as Lilac trotted up to her. She grinned and mewed, "You're at my folkhouse's den of course! You aren't wearing a collar so my folkhouse are out looking for yours." She flicked her tail.
"A two-legs den? Again?!" She cried. "I gotta get out of here. I need to find my mother, the clans, my clan." She scrambled back, bumping into the white tom.
"Er... Sorry Prince she isn't used to being inside." Lilac mewed. Sweetkit leaped away and growled, "Where is the exit!"
Prince yawned and turned around. "Young kits." He grumbled. "Whats this about clans? You mean the weird wild cats that eat fur and bones?" He tucked his oaws under him and stared at her.
"We don't eat bones mouse-brain." She retorted. "And I rather not be a kittypet and have a forest to run in. My Clans leader is great, she is Vixenstar. Cats say Starclan chose her themself."
"Starclan?"
Sweetkit sat down and began to explain. "Starclan is our warriors that have died. The clans have a Warrior Code that is passed down by mentor to mentor. We all learn it once we are apprintenced but..." She trailed off, rember how her sister, Amberkit, was going to train with her. "But I have to wait till I'm six moons before I get a mentor."
Lilac and Prince stared at her. "So yar wild cat? Is that why ya have a weir' name?" Prince asked. Sweetkit looked around the den, the floor was covered in wool and had a large cat bed. Lilac nodded and begged, "Tell us some more about this Clan life." He eyes were wide and she was excited.
"I have a mother named Feirceheart. My fathers name is Suntail. I have a sister named Amberkit but I'm not traveling with her anymore..." Sweetkit sighed. "The leader is the best rank, Starclah grants you nine lives and you must devote it to your clan." She mewed.
Lilac trotted over. "Wow, being in a Clan sounds like fun!" Sweetkit layed back down and slid into sleep.
