Prologue, Twoleg
I was hunting close to the twoleg place. I opened my mouth and breathed in the scents of mouse. I saw movement as I crouched down, one paw in front of the other, swayed then leaped. Two twoleg paws grabbed me. I was so shocked, all I could do was Yelp To my apprentice, "MOUSEPAW! RUN! LEAVE ME! GO BACK TO CAMP AND WARN THE OTHERS!"
"Lionheart! No!" Mousepaw was crying as a fowl smelling device was tied to my mouth and paws. The twoleg took me to his monster. He put me in a cage with kittypet food and water, put me in the monster then went in himself. The twoleg's monster thumped down the thunderpath and to my dismay, it was headed to the cutters.
The twoleg was back with another cat. He opened the cage, put the new cat down and walked off leaving the door closed. The new cat was a golden tabby. I walked up to him and cut off the twoleg's fowl smelling devices. The cat smelled like Thunderclan. An enemy cat to riverclan. My clan. I have to breed with him. It'll be a tough moon. He didn't recognise my scent because lve been cooped in this twoleg nest for so long, I smell like a kittypet.
"Who are you?" The tabby meowed, his eyes full of fear.
"Doveflight," I answered. "What's yours?"
"Lionheart," he answered. "The twoleg brought me to the cutters. What was he doing?"
"Nothing. He was just checking your age and gender," I shuffled my paws.
"What else?" Lionheart hissed, worried.
"Did you feel a sting on your shoulder? Like when a cat scratches you in a border battle?"
He thought for a moment. "Yes,"
"That twoleg is what we call a 'breeder'. He captures warriors, marks them by piercing their shoulder and putting a device there and putting a collar on them. He then brings us here and..."
"And what?" Lionheart was worried as ever.
I gulped. "And makes us breed," I looked at him sadly.
