Chapter 1
"Ah!"

A brown tabby she-cat screamed looking around as she ran.'' Where am I? How did I get here? What is all of this?'' She looked up and saw the shadow chasing her. She let out a scream and ran with all her might. She was on a yellow moor, as far as the eye can see, nowhere to hide.

A few heather and gorse bushes speckled here and there, the heather was a pretty violet. She tripped over a rock. "Ooff!" she gasped as she landed chin first on the ground she looked up, the winged creature was closing in on her, she had to think of something, and quick!

She crashed to one side under a small gorse as the yellow beasts talons tried to hook a taste of her flesh. It howled angry and started shredding the top of the bush and trying to reach under to snatch her. She shivered and swiped the taloned, white, hard paw. It didn't seem to notice.

Her blue eyes showed their whites. She was going to die! She glanced hopelessly around and saw something a few feet in front of her, earth! and it looked like a hole! She took a deep breath and made a dash for it, the creature noticed her and flapped up into the sky and fallowed, swooping down at the speed of a falcon.

She froze for a moment shocked by it's speed, then shook herself and began to squeeze into the hole. She was pushing herself with all her strength, then she started falling as the earth at her paws disappeared to air. She screeched and fell down and landed with a thump on the ground.

Dazed she stumbled up, she was in a dark cave... but with red light coming off of glowing crystals. She gulped and took one step forward. As she did, she froze as some earth from the cave wall slid down, sending pebbles falling.

She looked up, her heart skipped four beats, it was a tall creature, it was pure night black, with glowing red spots, and shining red eyes, It had a long, slender body, and short useless front legs, it's back legs were longer, and stronger, it had tiny useless wings, and it had a broad, shovel like head.

It groaned deeply and pushed itself faster then she thought, to her. She squeaked and ran down a tunnel, crashing earth behind her, and deep moaning. Her heart pounded quick, like the flap of a humming birds wings.

She then halted, the tunnel stopped. She turned back the way she came to see the creature edging fearfully close, it's sharp teeth gleamed red. She turned back to the tunnel wall and began digging. She felt like she was going to gag at the feeling of mud and earth slip through her toes and fur.

After what seemed like ages, she at last broke it, she squeezed through the wall, and the creature crashed into the hole, it's nose stuck through breathing deeply in and out. It then moaned and slid away. She fell on the ground of the new cave, but got up again quickly.

Her round eyes looked carefully around, no sight of anymore, a hole in the roof let a tiny bit of light seep in. She let out a sigh and fell down panting. She closed her eyes.

I want to go home...
