Echo

Chapter 1: Summer

Hello, my name is Summer. I live in a place called CreamTown. Yea, I know it sounds appetizing, well not for me, or any other cat I know of, well except the cats that live in the forest. I don't know much about CreamTown, but I do know about the forest, my home. I only know that CreamTown is a huge place filled with wonders. It's pretty nice here, the weather is amazing. It isn't hot nor cold, though there is the occasional breeze. It's always green here, well except when winter comes. I here it is very beautiful, but I have never experienced it myself. Many cats, the elders, talk about this substance called 'snow'. They say it's white and fluffy, but cold. What I dislike about the forest is of a group of cats that claim a lot of territory for themselves, which call themselves a 'clan'. The name of their clan is Echo. I've heard that they are vicious, evil, wild cats that feed off the flesh of cats that intrude on their territory. My mother used to tell me stories of the cats. She has told me that they sharpen their teeth, and claws on bones. They treat their elders like prey and don't care much about anyone other than themselves.
Well let me tell you a bit about me. I'm a cat (of course), my fur is silver with dark gray stripes. I have clear, bright blue eyes, like the sky. My tail has dark gray stripes all the way to the tip which is dark gray. I love hunting, who doesn't? My personality is somewhat mysterious. I can get angry quite fast, and will try to rip your head off. I can be a little rude but mostly I might ignore you than stay and bicker with you. When you first meet me I may sound mean but once you get to know me I'm sweet and cheerful. My family lives here in CreamTown, and many other cats.
I am identical to my mother, well except for eye color and personality. My mother is silver with dark stripes, slender and agile. She has kind eyes, and they are the color of honey. Her personality is kind and caring. She loves kits and gets along with every cat, sometimes with humans.. Which my father opposes of. My father is a brown tabby cat with fierce golden eyes. He is strong and huge. But deep down inside I know he has a soft side. He can be kind sometimes, but is tough on me and my siblings. He is very strong and once saved us from a dog. A mean black dog, drooling, and barking it's vicious barks at us. It was twice as tall as my father. Gleaming brown eyes, and awful breath. Father jumped onto its back, and clawed at its head. The dog bit my father on the tail. There was blood coming from where the dog had bitten him. But my father didn't back down, he scratched the dog on its stomach, a deep cut. The dog was whimpering and cast a last glance at my father and left crying after its master. My father is quite amazing when it comes to fighting. I have a sister and a brother, my sister a brown tabby like my father, with Amber eyes. My brother which is black with a white underbelly, and green vibrant eyes. I don't know much about my siblings since they are my half siblings. I've only seen them once which was sad for me since I wanted to play with them. Though I couldn't since their mother's master lived in a far away human den. My mother and father would kill me if I ever went as far as the black path goes where we live. They say it's too dangerous.
I guess I should explain to you about my family. My father, Hawk, fell in love with a cat named Mist. Mist is the name of my mother. My father and mother had me, but over time something happened between them now too long ago and they argued non-stop. Until one day my father left us, so we had to survive on our own since we lived in the forest. Apparently my father fell in love with another she-cat named Bella. They had kits two kits, Spark my half brother, and Luna my half sister. When my father came back a couple of moons later, he looked gloomy. Mist and Hawk had a chat while I was chasing butterflies. When they were done they talked to me. Mist told me that Hawk fell in love with a she-cat named Bella. I was very shocked at the news, but soon I grown to accept it. I told Mist if she was angry at Hawk, but she said no. She forgave Hawk which meant he would be the mate of two she-cats. But mother didn't really care as long as Hawk loved her. We soon went on a small journey to see Bella. We had to go through several human dens, cross 2 black paths, and a small forest. When we finally arrived, Bella was very happy to see Hawk. I'm guessing Mist would have felt a bit awkward having to share her mate. I got to see my half siblings, they were a moon old when I first saw them. We actually visited them a few times. Though they are scared of me for some reason every time I meet them which can be why I never get to play with them.
