The First

This is Book 1 of In The Darkness written by Hollyleafisawesome.

Chapter 1
A Rouge dashed through the dense wilderness, behind him were Clan cats, chasing him away. Tears stung his eyes as a cat gained on him just to claw at him, then fell behind to let another cat have a go at him. As he ran he leapt gracefully over logs and branches. His pelt bled as he leapt over a gorge. He flew, and then fell. He could hear the cats skid to a stop as he tumbled down the ravine and into the rushing water.

He was sucked under the water by the current. He struggled to stay up above the crashing waves. A wave pushed him under, and he kept knocking against rocks. His side bled from were the Clan cats he slashed at it. A large fish darted away as he tumbled by. He passed sharp rocks that pierced his skin.

Slowly, the high rock walls became sandy shores. He began to paddle towards the shores with all the power he could muster. As he climbed up the shores he limped. He got to the treeline and collapsed, panting. Blood dripped from his wounds.
