Zeus walked cautiously through a forest with many different scents and colors. He gazed around, enjoying the sun warming his back. A few paw steps later however, the sun was replaced by a thin crescent moon, the world suddenly turned icy cold and silent. Up ahead of him there was a clearing, in the middle of the clearing was a huge rock. On top of that rock, was a silently standing figure, blank angry eyes fixed on him. There were many other cats in the clearing too. All with angry eyes, all fixed on him.
These cats, whoever they are, were judging him, and they did not want him there. Zeus turned, and fled. Brambles grabbed at his pelt as he sprinted through the forest. Yowling, malicious, laughter followed him, cutting into his heart. He felt humiliated, exhausted, and defiant. Why didn't they want him? There was nothing wrong with him, why did they laugh and turn him away? Suddenly, Zeus's surroundings changed again, sunlight poured in through tall, healthy trees, several cats stood in a clearing, purring in welcome, and just as a cat stepped towards him, Zeus woke up abruptly, before he could get a good look at it. He stretched luxuriously and stepped out of his cat bed, his house folk greeted him as he strolled around his house. Zeus than remembered the dream, and immediately stepped out into the yard. As he jumped onto the fence to look at the forest beyond, an amused meow sounded from the yard next to his, "going for a little stroll"? It was Minnie, an elderly gray tabby she-cat. "I'm thinking about it". He replied lightly. "Thinking about it!" replied Minnie scornfully, "I'll tell you this for your sake, a kitten like you wouldn't last a second out in that forest"! "I'm not a kitten" meowed Zeus angrily, I'm six months old! Minnie screeched with laughter, "6 moons" , she screeched, "well I'll tell you this, that's but a second in the years I've lived," she meowed. "Hrmm..." growled Zeus grumpily, it was obvious that Minnie wasn't in a great mood, normally he would ask for a story about the wild cats in the forest, but she obviously wouldn't tell him right now. He sighed, guess it's just up to me to decide to go into the forest he thought. Zeus thought back to the dream, what if it meant something? He thought slowly, don't be silly he told himself dreams are dreams, they don't MEAN anything ..
But what if... it did? Zeus took a deep breath... "Goodbye Minnie", he meowed, to Minnie who was suddenly looking very serious and, was that fear glinting in her eyes? Does she... actually care what happens to me? It doesn't matter if she does... this is my choice! And I don't want to be a house cat!  Zeus took one last look at his old home, and jumped off the fence, into a world of wonder.
