Fox/pelt's Story: Chapter 1

Instructions

Fox looks out the window “Wow! There’s a whole forest out there!” she says, then something catches her eye. A big gray cat with a white stripe on its back was hunting. ‘Cats live out in the forest?’ she thinks, Fox tries jumping up to the window but her mother grabs her and pulls her down. “No going near the window Fox” she says then turns back to Fox’s littermates “And you guys stop fighting!” “Yes mother” Fox and her littermates say at the same time. Fox looks back up at the window and sees one of her owners open it ‘Yes!’ she thinks ‘I can escape later.’ Later that night the window is still open and everyone’s asleep except for Fox. She jumps up onto the window and pauses for a moment ‘Should I really go out there?’ she thinks. Fox sits there thinking when she hears one of her owners walk in. It yells at her and tries to grab her but she’s quick and already out the window. As soon as Fox hits the floor she runs off into the forest. Fox runs until she can’t see her house anymore “Finally!” she mews “I’m free from that awful place.” Fox wanders around a bit until she can hear voices from cats ‘Did my littermates and mom follow me?’ she thinks turning in circles to see who it’s coming from. The gray cat she saw earlier that day appears with a younger cat her age. “Uh....hi?” Fox greets them with her head tilted to the side. The gray cat, a tom, glares at her “Who are you?” he growls but the other cat, brown tom, steps in front of him “Why are you acting so harsh Stonetail?” He asks the gray cat then turns to Fox “Sorry ‘bout Stonetail he’s always like this. I’m Mudpaw. What's your name?” Fox looks at him “Fox” she answers. “So you're a loner?” Mudpaw asks. “No, I lived in a house with my owners.” she says. “Ohhhh a kittypet. What are you doing out here?” Mudpaw asks as he puts a tail on Stonetail. “I’m escaping” Fox says coolly “What are you doing out here?” Mudpaw glances at Stonetail then says “We’re clan cats! We live out here in the forest. Maybe you can come live with us?” Stonetail steps forward and turns to Mudpaw “She’s not coming with us!” he growls “Even if she was we’d need to ask Lightstar first.” Mudpaw opens his mouth to say something but a yellow-orange she-cat appears, “I say she can join us.” she says nodding to fox “She clearly didn’t like kittypet life and she’s apprentice age so I’ll let her in” “Fine” Stonetail mumbles as they make their way to their camp in silence.
