The cat crept closer and closer to his prey, his haunches wiggled and with a mighty leap he jumped and sank his fangs into the scrawny mouse. He straightened himself triumphantly and began to scarf down the warm meat down.

After he had finished eating he buried the bones of the mouse and resumed his journey. The cat suddenly froze, one paw in the air.

A bitter scent hit the roof of his mouth, the sour tang to it was unmistakable. Fox! The cat franticly looked around for a tree to climb, when he had found one he raced to it and clambered up to branch.

He turned and snarled at the red fox that burst out of the bushes. The fox barked angrily at having his prey escape. The cat noticed that the fox's ribs showed, hungry foxes make dangerous enemy's.

The fox was now busy digging up the mouse bones that the cat had buried before. The cat decided to escape while the fox was still busy with the bones.

His eyes scanned the forest around him and focused on a branch a few tail-lengths away. He judged the distance and decided to risk the leap.

The cat crouched low and narrowed his yellow eyes, he bunched his muscles and sprang. He soared through the sky and fell just short of the branch. He reached out one paw and hooked it around the branch just in time.

His heart was beating wildly in his chest, he was hanging on with one paw and he was slipping slowly.

The fox had finished crunching on the mouse bones and was now padding to the tree the cat was hanging on. The cat closed his eyes and waited for death to come. Then he suddenly felt teeth on his scruff, pulling him to safety.

When he was on a stable branch he looked up to see a gray and white tom gazing at him. "Thank you!" The cat gasped. "You saved my life!"

His savior merely nodded and then sprang away to another branch. The cat stared as the tom as he sprang further into the forest. Then, he looked down and spat at the fox and curled up on the wide branch, waiting for dawn.

Hehehe That was terrible, I wrote it a super long time ago and I cringed at every sentence rereading it. The story is basically about this loner who gets saved by this tree-jumping cat. Who do you think this cat was? You are welcome to use anything I write, just ask in the comments and mention me in your book. This could be used as a prologue for example if a loner joined one of the clans. Also, feel free to give me ideas what to write next! (: <3
