Chapter 1
The two cats are peacefully playing with each other, and then they go hunt. "So, what now, Flame?", the other cat asked him. "We forge a clan, but who should be the leader, Wind?", Flame asked. "You should be, it was your idea, after all, Flame!", Wind meowed back. They quickly build territories, with a baby den, an adult den, a nursery den, and a healing den, they also have a leader den. Wind became the Cat Clan's medic. Wind healed up Flame. A few months later, Flame heard Wind crying in pain, so he went to go check on her. He saw that she had a bigger tummy. "Wind, are you...pregnant?", Flame asked Wind. "Yes. And I think that my kitten is going to come soon.", Wind said to Flame. "Okay, let's just wait for a bit. Hang in there, Wind.", Flame meowed to her. The kitten started moving around until it came out. It started drinking from Wind's tummy. "Okay, that is cute. What are you going to name her?", Flame asked. "Hm...Star.", Wind said. "Star...a beautiful name for a cute, beautiful kitten.", Flame said. "Thanks, Flame.", Wind meowed back. Star started to walk, and Flame and Wind started smiling, but realized that Star was walking too far away, and Flame ran after her. Flame picked her up by the neck with his mouth, and set her down next to Wind. Star started drinking again, and Wind started to act nervous when Flame came near her. "Are you nervous? What's wrong, Wind?", Flame asked her.

Chapter 2
Wind puts her teeth to her bottom lip nervously. "Me? Nervous? What...me, nervous? What? No!", Wind quickly said. "You're clearly nervous, Wind. What is it?", Flame asked. "Fine, if you must know...", Wind said. "...you'll probably say no, but...will you be my mate?", Wind asked. Flame chuckled a bit, and Wind frowned. "Why would I say no? Of course I will!", Flame meowed as Wind smiled. "Okay, Star, meet your new father!", Wind said to Star. Flame and Wind looked at each other and smiled, then they chuckled. "Flame, can I ask you something...apart from this?", Wind asked him. "Sure, anything.", Flame said. "Well...why did you accept my request, to be my mate?", Wind asked Flame. "Well...let's just say I'm...quite fond of you.", Flame answered Wind's question. "Okay, thanks, Flame.", Wind responded. "No problem.", Flame responded. Wind opened her mouth to speak. "Shh!", Flame said quietly as he heard something moving around. Flame got out, and saw a rogue cat jumping toward him. "Wind, a little help here!", Flame said. Wind rushed out of the den, but Star started to follow, so she went back. "Uh...Wind?", Flame meowed. "Star would follow me out there!", Wind said back. The rogue cat scratched Flame, and blood started to drip. Flame pushed him off, and scratched him in the face, making his face drip blood.

Chapter 3
Flame hissed at the rogue cat. "We don't need to fight, Flame...just as long as you give me your territory!", the rogue cat said. "Look, Night, last time, I didn't give you it and I won't give you it now!", Flame said. "Oh, I figured that you'd do it, even with your mate on the line, this time you'd give me it.", Night said to Flame. "What?! But we just became mates, how do you even know about this?", Flame hissed at Night. "Because I've been watching and listening to your every move. So, anyway, what's it going to be? Wind, or your territory?", Night meowed. "Don't do it, Flame! Not for me, or for Star! Don't do it!", Wind said. "Well, okay, if you say so, Wind. It looks like I'll keep my territory.", Flame said, then winked at Wind. "Really?!", Night exclaimed. "Then, in that case, prepare to lose your mate!", Night said, charging to the den, only to get caught by Flame. Flame digged his claws into Night deep, causing him to bleed and pass out. "What should we do with him, Wind?", Flame asked her. "I guess we should get him out of here.", Wind meowed back to Flame. So Wind and Flame dragged Night back into the middle of the forest, and later he wakes up, confused. "Huh? Where am I? Darn you, Flame!", Night said to himself.

Chapter 4
"How's Star, Wind?", Flame asked her. "She's fine, but who was that guy, Flame?", Wind meowed back to Flame. "Oh, that was just my...oh, forget it, he's my enemy.", Flame said back. "Yeah, but who was he?", Wind asked him. "Oh, his name? Oh, he's Night.", Flame answered his mate. Wind opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Flame saying: "Wait, Star's sleeping, it is night anyway, let's go to bed.", Flame said. So they did, they went to bed in Wind's den, only to be attacked again by Night. "You thought you could get rid of me so easily, Flame?", he said. "Well, no, actually. I just dragged you to a nearby forest, I mean, I'm not really surprised by your counterattack. Anyway, what do you want, Night?", Flame meowed back and stood up, ready to fight. "I order that I get to kill you!", Night hissed to Flame. "Sorry, we don't serve that here, go to a different restaurant. Oh, let's just fight!", Flame said. Flame jumped to Night, then scratched his arm, and Night lifts it up, then jumps, only to fall down of the pain. "Surrender, Night! It's over!", Flame said to his enemy. "Okay, okay, I'll be back though!", Night hissed back. Flame got off of him as he got up, and limped into the forest. "And stay out if you know what's good for you, Night!", Flame yelled. "Sorry about that, Wind. You too, Star, now let's go to bed.", Flame said calmly.

Chapter 5
Flame, Wind, and Star wake up in the morning. "Morning, Wind, Star.", Flame said. "Morning, Flame.", Wind said back. They heard a cute, but hard to understand voice, saying: "Morning!", it was Star! "Oh my gosh, Star can talk now!", Wind exclaimed. "Yep, true that, my friend.", Flame said, agreeing with his mate. "Do you think we should train Star now, Wind?", Flame asked her. "Nah, she just learned to talk, give it some time.", Wind said to him. "Okay, will do.", Flame said to his mate. Star started crying. "Maybe she needs some food.", Flame said. "Okay, go get some food, I'll wait here.", Wind said to him. So Flame ran off to catch some mice. Soon after, he comes back with five mice in his mouth, hanging by the tail. He drops one in front of Star, two in front of his mate, Wind, and eats two himself. Star and Wind start eating, and Star stops crying. "Thanks, Flame.", Wind said. "No problem, Wind.", Flame said back to his mate. Then Night attacked again. Wind and Flame stood in front of Star, facing Night angrily. "What do you want now, Night?", Wind asked the rogue cat. "I simply want to talk...with claws!", Night, the rogue cat said to them. "Night, that's not really talking, it's what you call fighting.", Flame said. "I know, let's just fight already!", Night said. Flame and Wind jumped onto the rogue cat, but are pushed backwards with five little dots that drip blood each. "Wind! Are you okay?", Flame asked with concern for his mate. "Yeah, I'm fine.", Wind said. Night looked up to laugh, then looked forward again, seeing that they disappeared, only to be sneak-attacked by them. "Maybe you should know that the fight isn't over until it's over, now give up already!", Flame said, lecturing Night. "Fine, you win.", Night said, surrendering again. Flame, Wind, and Star went back in their den.

Chapter 6
"Okay, Night has attacked us for too long, Wind. We can't risk losing you or the baby. We need to improve, I think we've gotten soft by being mates and having Star as a baby, also not training very much. We won the first couple times, then he actually managed to make both of us bleed, and counter us in mid-air! I can't risk losing you or Star!", Flame exclaimed to his mate. "I agree, Flame. We need to train. Here's how we should do it. You go train while I watch Star, then you watch her while I train. Sound good?", Wind asked him. "Yeah, that's a good idea, Wind. So, do we start now?", he meowed back. "Yes, so go and train.", Wind said. Flame ran off, and soon after, Night came to attack Wind and Star. "Oh, no! Flame! Flame! Help! It's Night!", she yelled, but Flame didn't come. Night jumped to Wind, only to be pushed and bitten by Flame to the side, who dived at him. "Flame!", Wind exclaimed in relief. "Flame?! When did you get here?", Night asked him. "Just now!", Flame said. Night started to bleed. "Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?", Flame asked sarcastically. Night hissed at him. "Ugh! I'm sick of you ruining my attacks, Flame!", the rogue cat meowed. Night realized how injured he was and ran off again into the forest.

Chapter 7
Flame wakes up in the morning. "Morning, Wind. Morning, Star— Star? Wind?", Flame asked. "Where is everyone?", he asked again. "This better not be a joke, guys!", Flame said. "Come out already, this isn't funny!", he meowed as he saw Night standing on a hill with Wind and Star captive. "Oh, hello again, Flame.", he said. "Night, I should've known!", Flame said aggressively. "Indeed, I captured your family!", Night meowed to Flame. "And if you don't surrender yourself and your territory to me, they die!", Night threatened. "No, don't do it!", Wind said. "I have no choice but to surrender myself and my territory, but let my family go first!", Flame said. "Very well.", Night said as he cut the ropes with his claws, and Wind and Star run to Flame. "Now turn yourself in, and your territory!", Night said. "So what do we do to double-cross this guy, Flame?", Wind asked. "We don't. I'm going to keep my word.", Flame said as he walked to Night. Wind and Star frowned, then walked out of the area, because the territory belonged to Night now. "Flame, you can't be serious about this, right?", Wind asked. "I'm serious about this. It's for you.", Flame answered his mate.

Chapter 8
Wind and Star go out to the forest near the area that they used to be in, until Night forced Flame to surrender himself and his territory for his family. "We need to take the territory that Night stole from Flame back, and also get Flame back, defeat him, and push him out again.", Wind said to Star. "You stay here while I free Flame so your father and I can fight.", Wind meowed. Wind ran off behind Night, and freed Flame with her claw. "Wind? What are you doing here?", Flame whisper-asked. "I'm saving you, now come on, let's defeat Night!", Wind whispered. "But where's Star?", Flame asked. "She's in the woods.", Wind said to her mate. "Okay, let's fight this guy!", Flame said. Flame and Wind went in front of Night and jumped at him, but Night dodged and scratched Flame a slight bit. Flame hissed and bit Night close to the neck, and Night meowed in pain. "Okay, okay! You can have your territory back, but I'll also be back soon!", Night said. "Yes, we did it!", Wind said. Night ran off. Flame and Wind get Star and they all go to bed in their den.

Chapter 9
Flame wakes up. He sees that Wind and Star are already up, and Wind is training Star a bit to fight. "So you got Star to train, huh?", Flame asked Wind. "And talk, too.", Wind said to her mate. "Yep!", said Star and her cute voice. "Aw, that's cute.", Flame meowed. "How long has she been training?", Flame asked his mate. "Most of the night, she's ready for Night now.", Wind said. And just as Wind said it, Night came by and the family stood side-by-side, facing Night. They all jumped at him. "Wait, I didn't come here to fight!", Night meowed. But the family didn't hear him, over their rage for him, Night dodged, and said it again: "I didn't come here to fight!", he said. "Then what did you come here for?", Flame asked. "Yeah, what my Dad said!", Star said with a cute voice. "I came here to tell you that I want to stop attacking you guys.", Night said. "What?!", Wind asked. "Yeah, and...maybe we can be friends?", Night asked nervously. "No way, Dad! He attacked you, and mom!", Star said. "Everyone can change, and everyone deserves a second chance.", Flame said. "Okay, Night. But if you betray us, well, you know.", Flame threatened calmly to Night. "What about the kid? It doesn't look like she trusts me.", Night asked. "Well, duh! You attacked my parents in front of me! I'm surprised my Dad even trusts you a small bit, probably barely trusts you enough to not attack you and let you come into his territory!", Star exclaimed in a cute, but slightly threatening voice. "That's enough, Star.", Flame said. "He's right, Star. Everyone deserves a second chance.", Wind said to her daughter. "Okay, fine, Mom.", Star said.
