Excerpt #1.

The leaves rustled, crouched in a bush sat Rocky, a grayish white tom cat, with piercing blue eyes.  A few feet away sat a mouse inspecting a leaf.  Rocky’s tail swung back and forth, ready to leap silently on his prey.  He leapt, when all of a sudden, he heard a rattling noise, waking up he cocked his head towards the kitchen, there was the Two-Leg, pouring that sawdust tasting stuff they called cat food into his bowl again, Rocky didn’t like the taste, but he would rather eat it then starve.  Finishing his “breakfast” he walked out the cat door and into the backyard, jumping up on his favorite post which overlooked the forest in the back, looking towards the forest, he leapt down and started walking when all of a sudden a squeaky voice rang out, “Rocky! You’re not going in there are you?” That would be Rusty, his friend from next door, “I was thinking about it Rusty,” He replied, turning around to face his friend.   “Oh Rocky, don’t go, they say there are wild cats that live in there, what ever would you do?” Rusty said looking at Rocky with big eyes, “I don’t know, but I am tired of this kind of life, I’m going in, and not even you, can stop me!,” Rocky replied running into the forest.   Running through the forest, a protesting yowl came from the left, turning he saw three cats with rippling muscles you could easily see under their thin skin, they ran towards him with teeth bared, Rocky flattened himself against the ground, tail swishing back and forth, The first was a tom of red/orange color with a white star on his head, green eyes flashed as he blinked, the second was a pure gold tom, with white coloring on all four of his feet, the third was a she-cat, fluffy white with grey/blue eyes that could melt a glacier. “Who are you, and what do you want with ThunderClan?” The Red tom spoke, “T-t-thunderClan?” Rocky replied staring at the cats.  The gold tom growled, “Do not lie fool, you know where you are, FireStar, he’s a spy from ShadowClan, we should kill him,” The white she-cat walked up to Rocky, sniffed and shook her head, “FireStar, he’s a kittypet, he is no spy.”  The white cat looked at Rocky, He bowed his head respectfully in thanks, she nodded.  “I know nothing of ThunderClan and ShadowClan, what are they?” Rocky asked twisting his ears.  The leaves rustled and out came a grey striped tom ran out panting.  “FireStar, ShadowClan, they’re attacking the camp, you have to come!” FireStar shook his head, “I am coming GreyPaw, You, what is your name?” FireStar gestured towards Rocky, “My name is Rocky,” He replied, “Good, follow me, and try to keep up,” FireStar, GreyPaw and the others ran back into the bushes and disappeared, Rocky Followed.   Running as fast as he could, he heard a huge yowling and spitting, passing bushes, and plants, finally into the open, there were all kinds of cats fighting! FireStar leaped into the fray, attacking a Tabby tom, biting his ear and sending him yowling into the undergrowth.  Rocky was watching from where they had appeared from the bushes when he was hit from the side, tumbling down with a cat on top of him, he turned and batted him in the face with his claws, the cat protested by raking its claws on Rocky’s leg, yowling Rocky lifted his legs and propelled the cat backwards, leaping on top, he raked his claws against the cats stomach.  The cat screamed and ran off, Rocky turned around, seeing the golden tom he met earlier being beat by a pitch black cat, he ran to help, pulling the cat off, the golden tom leapt up, nodded a thanks and tackled the black cat again, sending it yowling after its companions.  FireStar and the white she-cat were finishing off two of their own.  Finally, the battle over, FireStar walked over to Rocky, “Thank you for your help, where did you learn to fight like that?” He asked, “I just did what came naturally to me,” Rocky replied with a shrug.  The white she-cat came over, “You’re wounded, we’d better get you back to camp to the medicine cat, SkyLeaf will heal you,” She said, FireStar nodded and started walking away, “What did you say your name was again?” He asked as they walked on.  “Rocky, I’m Rocky,” He replied, “Hmm,” FireStar added.
