The Lights

Made by Dawn

Chapter 1
Light flashed across the sky, but it was no ordinary flare. Another came and went, like a spark lighting the sky.

"What was that Papa?" Luciana, a small and fragile kit asked a older tom.

"Two-legs, and their fire-sticks." Th tom replied warmly.

"Well, why are they shooting them in the air Papa?" Luciana was a kit, filled with endless questions.

"Because they are stupid."

"But- But Papa?"

"No more my kit, time to rest." The tom raised his head and grabbed the she-kit by her neck. He placed her in a small patch of leaves and feathers.

"Night Papa." Luciana curled up into a ball and closed her bright green eyes, letting sleep welcome her.

''"You are going to be taken, Luciana. You haven't much time. Tell Papa to take you somewhere safe, because they are coming for you, and they're farther then you think my dear." A starry looking cat stepped up to the trembling she-kit, trying her best not to frighten her. ''

''"Wha-What do you mean? Mama, what do you mean?" Luciana shrieked.''

''"Do you know of the cats who killed me? Well, your Papa, well he killed the leaders mate, and now, well now he wants revenge." Luciana's Mother stared at her, scard for her fate.''

''"So they are going to kill m-me?" ''

"I'm not sure yet, but you must leave very soon! If you don't-"

Luciana was shaken awake by her father who was jabbing at her side.

"Luciana! Are you alright?" The tom she called Papa asked quickly. He grabbed wet moss he had collected earlier and dripped some water on to her face.

"Wha- Papa!"

"I'm here Luciana, I'm here."

"Papa! Papa! The cats! They are coming! Ma warned me!" Luciana's eyes were in a state of shock, along with her fathers.

"Luciana, your not making any sense."

Luciana calmed down for the seconds she spoke. "Mama told me that the group of cats that killed her are coming for me, that they want revenge! Papa! We have to leave!"

Luciana spoke franticlly and quickly.

Papa stared down at her and wrapped his tail around her. "We will leave, tonight."
