CHAPTER 1- Hero’s Revenge

  It is now the Season of Challenges,which all cats dread. Prey is scarce, because they are hiding from the cold. Two cats were padding along, ready for a hunt. 

  “Oh wow! Look!”, cried Orchid, one of the two. “I think I have found two kits! Oh quickly come here! Emerald!” She leaned closer, and moved the kits carefully with a trembling paw. Emerald padded closer, and the scene in front of her made her face twist. Before the terrific gray she-cat was two kits, looking cold and hungry, and a body of a golden she-cat. Her body was cold and frigid, and it seemed as though she had been dead for a long time. A drop of water fell from a leaf and tinkled on her nose, but she had no response. Orchid sighed, because the dead she-cat was very beautiful. She imagined her under the moonlight, looking very glamorous. With a heavy heart, Orchid examined the kits closely. It seemed like that they still have heartbeats, but they were very weak. Orchid lashed her tail , and swished it at the bushes, “ Oh poor kits, what can do to help them?”. Emerald stared blankly, as if the shock was too much.  She finally sighed softly and mewed, “ I take pity on them, but there is a certain probability that they won’t survive with us either. Prey had been so scarce and several more cats have come down with this mysterious illness that even Moon can’t heal.”

   Her sigh was full of worry, and her green eyes grew large. “ What should we do?”, Emerald’s voice was full of uncertainty. “ It seems like our ancestors are punishing the Lone-Walkers!”she exclaimed with frustration. “Perhaps we should take them and ask Moon for advice” Orchid mewed quietly. She gently picked the kits up, and began to move. Emerald cast one last glance across the clearing, and prayed silently in her heart that the kits would survive. The two then padded alongside each other, and headed for moon’s cave.
