Notes
* Please excuse my poor non existant coding skills. I ask you to not make fun of that as it hurts my feelings. Just enjoy the story is all I ask of you.
* This is based off my oc's backstory. She had a fun kithood until her mother's death and father's disappearance.
* This story is a wip.
== Prologue ==
A dark gray tom is fighting a large blood thirsty dog protecting his mate and kit. "Take the kit and run, Sky, RUN" the tom yelled at his mate. The queen nodded and grabbed a tiny scrap of fur in her jaws and ran. It was a cold winter night and it was snowing a lot. The snow was very steep but the queen managed to find an entrance to what it seems to be a clan camp. "Mama, where are you going? Where's papa?" the kit asked. "It'll be okay my darling. Papa's going to come get you and bring you home." the queen told her reasuringly. She nuzzled her kit and kept her warm for a few minutes before running off. Howls and barks are heard in the distance followed by a yowl. The kit lays in the snow, defenseless looking around. "Mama? Papa? Where are you? Mama! Papa!" the kit yowled as loud as she could before falling asleep in the cold snow, the wind howling like a pack of wolves around her
== Chapter 1 ==
I group of cats live under the abandoned subways of New York City away from all the noisy Twolegs. How did they come to the subways? It is unknown how they got to the big city but they just did. A queen gave birth to her mate's kit. A nice, beautiful blue grey she kit who looks like her father. Her name was Siniy(blue in Russian). Siniy was a shy young kit unlike the others. She often stayed close to her parents, mostly her father whom she looked up to despite being a leader of the group. Their group is called The Tunnelers.
Another day in the big city of New York. The kits are all awake and playing. "Haha! Can't catch me!" a tom kit who's pelt was silver with marbled tabby markings laughed as another kit with black and white fur ran to the tom kit, her name was Pepper. They were playing a game of dogs and cats Pepper being the dog and Jay being the cat. Pepper got close to Siniy's nest and fell on her. The Russian blue she kit yowled and scrambled out of her nest and cried. "Cry baby Siniy!" Pepper teased the crying kit. Jay watched from afar and Daisy came back from a patrol. She comforted her kit and groomed her fur neatly so it wasn't all over the place. Pepper's mother came last and rushed over to her. "Pepper what did you do now? Why is Siniy crying?" the queen asked her kit. Pepper sighed and walked up to the Russian blue kit. "I'm sorry I guess." the black and white she kit grumbled. "It's fine" Siniy meowed.
The second patrol came back before sunset led by the leader and the kit's father. Siniy spotted him and ran up to him hugging his leg. "Papa!" the kit was excited to see her father back after a long day of hunting and patrolling. "What did you catch?" the kit asked her father. "Hello my little sunshine." the leader, Stone purred, nuzzling his daughter affectionately. "Papa, you promised you'd take me to the river! Can we go now please?" SIniy begged. Stone promised her that he'd take her to the river at sunset since it was said that at if you make a wish at sunset while the water ripples, your wish will come true. "Oh well alright, but for a little while because it's very dangerous and some Twolegs can hurt you." he purred. Sky nodded and smiled at her family. "I'll be back my love." the leader meowed before heading out the subway.
It was dark. The city was bright and barely any Twolegs out and about which is good for them since they don't have to worry about getting trampled or pet. The kit and father got to the lake and the kit made her wish. They played for a while until he decided it's time to go. "Siniy my sunshine, its time to go." he purred getting up. "Coming papa!" the kit meowed and followed her father. Barks and growls are heard in the distance along with rattling chains. Stone picked up the pace. "Come on Siniy, lets hurry back home." the father worriedly said. The chains broke and the dogs broke loose. They start chasing the two cats barking and growling. Stone picked up his daughter by the scruff and ran fast back home to warn his group.
== Chapter 2 ==
The blood thirsty hounds barked and growled as they got close to the kit and father. Stone picked up speed and finally reached the subway. "Stone, what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Sky asked her mate and daughter. The leader places his daughter close to his mate and organizes a fighting patrol. Siniy looked around confused and scared and then at her mother. "Mama, what's going on?" the kit asked, huddling closer to her mother. Sky looked at her calm, "Oh, don't worry my love, they are going to practice fighting." the mother told her kit so she won't be scared. "Oh I want to go too!" Siniy said excited. "No you can't come, Siniy. Its only for big cats, you're still young." the mother said. She wraps her tail around the kit protectively so she won't run off. Stone smiled at his family before going off with the patrol to fight off the dogs.
Few hourse has gone by and they finally returned, carrying a body. Siniy quickly noticed it as her father's and ran over to him when the patrol set him down on the moss bedding. "Papa! Are you okay?" the kit asked nudging him. Stone woke up and looked at his kit and smiled. "I'm fine, my sunshine. I just have some boo boos." he told her. Siniy smiled and ran back to play with the other kits. Sky walked over to her mate and layed down next to him. "What happened?" she asked the leader. "There were two dogs that almost killed us. We couldn't kill them, instead we chased them out as far as we could." he said. Flower, the healer of the group came with herbs and pressed some cobwebs on the wounds. Stone winced and Sky walked off so Flower can tend to her patient in peace. Siniy is playing a game of mossball with a group of kits but keepts getting distracted, the thought of her father getting badly injured floods through the kit's mind. "Come on
