Jaded View: Prologue

Prologue
A light grey she-cat ran towards a small, sand covered hole. The only thing holding up the sand from flooding it was the crumbling sandstone. “Grandpa! Are you in there!” She called down the hole. “Come in.” A soft, grumbling voice replied. She slid down the hole, her belly brushing the soft surface. The floor became harder, as she slid down. She stopped sliding, then stood up. “Grandpa, can I ask you something?” She padded towards a blue-grey tom, his tail was thick, with a white streak along the tip. “What would you like?” He smiled at the kit, “I want to hear a story, the one you told mum as a kit!” She sat down in front of him, “of course I’ll tell you, it may take a while to finish though…”

“I don’t mind, I just want to hear the story.” She looked at the tom hopefully. “Well, why not we start from the beginning. Get comfy, as I tell you about my mother's wonderful life."
