A crow of perfect sleekly black wings alights upon a nearby dead branch. They flare like an omen as it settles. Cautious, beady eyes observing the mangled, undead creature dragging its body forward. Tottering and teetering out of the bushes. The spitty hiss it makes as its decayed teeth - yellowed and full of pulpy bits of bloody flesh - snap and bite. The crow chatters quietly, another landing idly next to him. No cat noticed the first signs until it was too late.

Alt. Summary: A terrible virus has ripped through the clans, worse than what any cat has ever seen. In the forest, the undead begin to roam and abound. Resources are scarce, and every last heart beating is left to fend for their own safety by any means necessary - lie, cheat, steal or kill. Cats turn against each other; murder one another. Blood paints the sky. An ill-fated she-cat from ShadowClan struggles to survive as everything falls against her.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
