The Phoenix

The Phoenix.

Prologue
Rain splashed down in puddles.Through the downpour,a single cat roamed the night.“Ginger!"She heard a voice call.The cat turned,revealing her face for the first time to the cay behind her.

Purple eyes danced like stars in her beautiful face.The ginger cat's tail waved dangerously like a snake about to strike.“What do you want,Snare?"

The silver cat's fur was grey with water,his blue eyes glowing like lanterns in the night.“Ginger,where is she?"

“I don't know what you're talking about,"Ginger dismissed,turning to go.

Snare hissed,stopping her in her tracks.“Please,tell me!She doesn't even know-"

“She isn't meant to know!"screeched Ginger.Her fur now slick with rain,her purple eyes grew dangerously angry.“She wouldn't understand anyway.She lives in the Clans,not here,and she never will be here!"

Snare flinched as if struck.“We need her.Only she can-"

“We don't need her.We never will."Ginger turned,and this time Snare did not stop her and she padded deeper into the rain-filled forest,her ginger fur soaked through.His pelt was no better.With a sigh,he turned and walked off.

We do need her,he thought to himself,We need the Phoenix.
