* * * Three days had passed since Elvestfrost got his name, and it hadn’t been uneventful. Strange things have been happening in the clan; some cats have been reported missing, and even one has d!ed. Cats have been panicking; no one leaves without telling Sterlingstar, and no one hunts alone now. One of Elvestfrost’s new friends, Treeshade, was also missing. *What is happening!?* Elvestfrost blinked a tear away and shook his fur. He needed to be strong. What is even weirder is that Robin and Spider had been out a lot, and they only went together, no one else. Last night, Spider had snuck out and only Elvestfrost knew. *Should I tell someone? Maybe not, they’re still new, and this isn’t the best place to start in this, so they must still be adjusting.* Robin has been friendly, talking to every cat she can and asking them questions about them. But Robin never really talks about herself and Spider, except for how they used to be loners. *There must have been something sensitive that happened in the past.* “Good morning, Elvie!” Nimbus meowed as she walked up to him, “Have you seen Robin? I was telling her about mom and dad, but Spider had to talk to her outside.” “How long ago was that?” Elvestfrost tipped his head. “Around sun-up,” Nimbus answered. It was past sun-high, “Let’s go look for them.” “Ok, thanks!” They started walking to the entrance of the cave when an ear-splitting yowl split the air. “INTRUDERS!” A flood of cats roared through the entrance, and in the front were Spider and Robin. Elvestfrost was shocked but got on his paws and flung himself at the cats. He reared up to a huge brown tom, clawing with all his might, but the tom was stronger than him. The tom pushed Elvestfrost down, and everything went black. ---- part 1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1208455579/ chapter 1: in the far future
