Prologue
A cold, windy night lay before the travelling cats, who shivered uncontrollably; all of their ribs were showing. Only six of the original fourteen had survived the journey from the fields of the north.

The leader, a once powerful stormy grey tom, lead the small group under the shade of a nearby oak, where the settled down for the night.

A ginger and white she-cat refused to nestle down. "We'll starve if I don't hunt," she urged the leader, who eyed her carefully, his once handsome pelt ragged and knotted. The ginger and white she-cat was the last of the hunters who had gone on the journey, all the others were fighters and knew nothing on how to hunt.

"Well," the stormy grey tom whispered, looking over the four other cats, who had all fallen asleep as soon as they settled down.

"We do not want to starve, do we?" The ginger and white she-cat shook her head hurriedly. "I'll go then. I do not wish for us all to die of horrible circumstances." The tom nodded and murmured,

"Be careful, Stripe. We do not know these lands." The ginger she-cat took off before replying properly and raced through the dense trees, making landmarks to know how to get back to the others. Stripe knew how the stormy grey tom acted, he acted as though his cats weren't starving to death. All he had to do was look at someone and see the pain we were all going through!

Stripe crouched down, her abnormally long tail thrashing the ground hurriedly as she searched out a scent of prey. The forest was strange: it was no oak forest, it was a pine forest. It was weird, having the soft touch of pine needles underpaw instead of oak leaves.
