Here is the short story berore the the begining of the long one. Swifttail, is Swiftstar, and is a he. [[spoiler---->]] His real name is Dan, and his sister is sandy. Now, here is the befining of the story:
Prolog
“Come on Gloria.” Called the human from inside of the house.
Though she could barely make out what the little human was
saying, she had grown fond of her name. Inside, her mate was
waiting for her. His golden brown fur, shown handsomely in
the florescent light. “Hello my darling, what have you been up
to?” she purred, “I did not see you this morning when I woke
up, and when I went outside, you are always up at that time.”
He replied with a drowsy voice, “I was in the shed in the
Garage making a nest of blankets for you and your kittens on
the way.” “Now Gloria, you know its coyote season, stop going
outside that early, and coming in late! “He said and licked her
with a considerate lick .I just have visions, of a cat, with a flame
colored coat, and jumps into the forest, and was just about to
jump on a mouse, but a gray-coated cat stopped him in mid jump.
Chapter 1 (weeks later)
“Eeeerrra!!!” A black cat triumphitly leaped on to the another
kitten. Knocked to its feet, defenseless, the she cat yelps,
“ok!” “ok, get off!” “you win now get off!!” the bage cat
said sorely. “Hey, ok gosh sandy!” “Well maybe if you weren’t
so rough Dan!” they argued. Then the bickering stopped when there father approached, and then starred at him apologetically and walked into the backyard, where they found their mother picking catnip leaves, just for them! Although, they new it was only for after dinner. Come on you two, come and help me pick some catnip leaves!” this was only there fifth time that they had nip leaves. Man those thing taste good with milk! He though, “I wonder why were not allowed over the fence, hmmmmm…, “Dan thought. He continued picking leaves with his sister Sandy, and after they were done, they got some sticks from the blue berry bush, and started chewing on them. You know, sandy, I could let you win on wa….” He started, but sandy continued for him, “let me win on war, no.’’ “there’s no need!” “silly, you win fair and square, evreytime! “yah that’s true!” he said with pride.then sandy murmured, “war” then she jumped side ways, bounced against the oak tree, and in a moment, Dan was to the ground. “Hah!!” she boasted. “I win you lose now you’ve got a bruise!” “oh, your right”
he said. He saw pride, shimmering in Sandy’s eyes, Dan put on false pain. he continued, “I new you can do it!” But now, replacing the pride in her eyes, was a look of sheer terror. He flung him self
around, and there, climbing over the fence, was a big mangled beast. His blood turned cold, and by now, he was frozen with fear. As the thing from over the fence, came closer, and closer, my sister let out a shriek of terror. Then, my father came from the other side of the house, leaped in front of us, and yelled between hissing and spitting, “run, get out of here children!” we ran into the house. While my sister went to go get one of the human’s attention, he stopped to see the fight. It was horrific. Then the big human shrieked got a stick, and ran out side and yelled and screamed, finally, the beast was gone
“What happened here!!” our mother cried. And she ran over to see him. “Thank gosh he is still alive” She said. Then Sandy spoke up, what was that thing!”? “The reason yyou’renot aloud outside!” she snapped she was about to say something else, but I covered her mouth with my tail. “come on” I whispered, “lets go inside.
Chapter 2 (1 week later)
Herman, their father, has been at the vet house, for almost a week now, and we are very worried about him. He might be coming back today. Then, our mother came into the room. Sad but true, she came in to the room, with tears, welled up in her eyes. “oh no” I murmured. Obviously, thoughts weren’t tears of joy. Then she slumped down on the couch, and was in a sorrowful trance. My heart sank, and I could here my sister’s little heart beating rapidly. I spoke up quickly, “ill go see if the humans are crying and cursing, that will for sure prove that, you know.” I trotted into the other room. My sister was waiting for the news. Believe it or not, he was dead. I walked into the room, where my sister waited patiently. She struggled to say, “ is, I-is he he” I nodded. She bursted out locked up tears, I felt horrible. “Why did he have to die!”? “Its all that, that, ‘things’ fault!” Dan thought angrily. I went to the second floor, to see long behold, that same creature, was outside our fence, waiting for more blood shed. he hissed at the though of that thing. Then, his fear came to pass, the thing let out an ear-shredding howl, and there from the bushes, were five other things climbing over the fence! he raced down stairs, and just as he told his sister and mother, he heard a wet, blood curtailing, rip. I could not move again, then Gloria, grabbed us both by the scruff, and ran up stairs with amazing speed.
CHAPTER 3
It has been three hours, and we have been on the roof all that time. We are right next to the chimney, and by the sound of it, they haven’t given up yet.
“Mom, what are those things!” sandy said franticly. Dan agreed with her, “Yes mom its time to talk” “Ok, I’ll tell” she said with a sigh “there called coyotes, and they are a big threat to the cats in the neighborhood….” “Is that all” Dan interrupted. “ A bit!” she snapped. “ Now, they hunt at night, and…” she was stopped short by another interruption. Sandy said, in an almost daze, “ Then why did they attack father that one afternoon?” “I don’t know,” she snapped again, “ can I please continue speaking!”, “ any way, they don’t come out in day-light and never come over in back-fences”, Then, from inside the house, a wail of anger and fear. The humans were home! Once the humans started crying, that was the queue, so they bolted through the window, dogged the ripped up shards of broken things, and made it to the living room. Another human came in the door and she yelled, “Gloria! Gloria! Oh my gosh Gloria!” The human screamed. As the little human came rushing over, the bigger human came over, picked up Sandy and said, “this one is leaving tomorrow,” he said determined. “No! No, no, no!” the little human sobbed, “ Sniff, sh… she, she,… cant go!” the stout human came in, “I think they should all go, after what happened to,” “NO! You cant do-oo thi-is! Please!” the little human wavered. Sandy scratched the man, and hid under the couch. “ ahhhh!!” he yowled. Dan darted under the couch too.
Dan woke up the next morning, all but to find left over fur from a struggle. Where was his dearest sister? "Sandy!" He yowled. he raced around the house, to see, if by any chance he was mistaken. In disbelief, Dan collapsed to the ground. She was no longer at the maple’s house, and all they was left of her, was ‘ left over fur from a struggle ‘. “ Why! Oh why!” Dan wailed. There was nothing he could do. Sandy was gone.
Chapter 4
Dan waited out the rest of the day in sorrow, as if he was in war, wounded, and just waiting to die. Then finally, night fell, and that’s when he fell asleep.
The next time Dan opened his eyes, he was in the forest. His nostrils filled with un-familiar scents. He breathed the air, an over whelming scent wash over Dan, someone was in the bushes behind him! Before he could react, he was knocked to the ground. “You don’t look like a brave warrior,
but more like a scrawny piece of two leg garbage!” The voice mocked. Dan's attacker jumped off into the shadows. He got up from the ground, then adjusted his eyes to where the animal had jumped to. By the outline of the animal’s shape, and the glowing eyes, he new it was a cat. “Who are you, you stink'n mouse!” Dan spat. “first of all, ‘stinken mouse’? And second of all, I'm the one who’s going to find your sister.” The cat retorted. Dan dropped his jaw in astonishment. Then, before he could say anything, the cat came out of the shadows. “ Great cousin snow?” Dan said confused. “Cousin? What’s a cousin? I’m Cloudtail!” The cat snapped. “Ok then Cloudtail, hows great aunt Princess doing” the badge cat taunted. “Firestar dident say you new any of us!” Cloudtail hissed, “Ok now your just nuts! Time to go back to the house. “A kitty pet! You’re a kitty pet! You actually live with those filthy flea bags!” Dan began to say, “ my owner says…” “you speack there toung!” Cloudtail spat in descust. Ok, stop ruffeling my fur and lets just get to the point.” Dan mrrowed sarcasticly, “ The point, haven’t you alredy made it!”
