Hey guys! I am back after yet another hiatus!
I bring you a brand new CYOA, and guess what? It's a prequel! I said there probably won't be zombies c: However, this story is going to focus on the life before the apocalypse, and we might meet familiar characters along the way! In fact, the main character may seem familiar to you right away. That's because he is!
There will be a few changes however. Firstly, because I'm lazy and would like to bundle cats closer together, nametags will no longer appear above each character. Instead, I will update a list of all reoccurring characters on the first post whenever someone new gets introduced. If you forget what someone looks like, just check the list! And secondly, forgive my bad screenshot editing skills, it's been at least a year since I last did this. Same goes for my writing...
For those not familiar with my old CYOAs, go ahead and check them out! The Zombiecat Apocalypse v2
~~
Characters:
Kestrel, rogue
Silverfoot, RussetClan
Leader Pikestar, RussetClan
Nova, rogue
Comet, rogue
Echo, rogue
Rook, rogue~~
Leaf-bare had started unexpectedly early. A young rogue named Kestrel had made his way into RussetClan's territory, alerting everyone within it. But he had no cruel intentions, he went straight to speak to the leader.
The large, broad-shouldered leader stood in front of the rogue. He seemed displeased by the rogue's presence.
Pikestar: "So, you want to join RussetClan, eh, squirrel tail? Give me several ways you could contribute."
Kestrel: "I'm an excellent hunter, as well as a good swimmer. I can fish and catch any type of prey. I'm a fast runner and a good climber. I'm as quiet as a mouse, the rival Clans will never see me coming."
Pikestar: "Well, you certainly know how to praise yourself, but I'm not convinced. The way I see it, you're just another mouth to feed. I've got plenty of good hunters and fighters here, you will only be a burden. Prove yourself worthy, then come back. Until then, I do not wish to see you lurking around and talking to my cats. Understood?"
Kestrel: "Understood..."
Pikestar: "Now shoo!"
The leader hissed, scaring the rogue away. Silverfoot, having witnessed the meeting, quickly ran after him.
An unlikely friendship between a Clan cat and a rogue, formed when Silverfoot was an apprentice on a mission. Kestrel, despite being a loner, wanted to be closer to Silverfoot, and was willing to become a Clan cat just to make it happen. Their leader, however, did not approve of it.
Silverfoot: "Kestrel, wait!"
Kestrel: "Pikestar hates me. I'm never going to be accepted."
Kestrel: "Pikestar hates me. I'm never going to be accepted."
Silverfoot: "Not with that attitude. He said you could still prove yourself worthy."
Kestrel: "What could I even do? Last week I brought the Clan not one, but two crows, and he didn't even thank me! Does he have any idea how hard it is to catch a crow in the snow? Of course not... Look at how fat he is, all he does is lie in his den and eat his Clan's efforts. Does he ever run? Probably not. Has he ever caught anything other than a stinkbug on his own? Probably not!"
Silverfoot: "Don't be like that. Sure, he can be greedy, but he cares about his Clan and makes sure we all stay well-fed. He will never leave a Clan member distressed."

Silverfoot: "Don't be like that. Sure, he can be greedy, but he cares about his Clan and makes sure we all stay well-fed. He will never leave a Clan member distressed."
Kestrel: "We should run away together. There's so much in this world to explore, and no one will stop us."
Silverfoot: "What? No, that's a terrible idea! It's leaf-bare, there's hardly any prey and there are predators in the forest, we'll never make it!"
Kestrel: "We will if we stick together. We'll find a nice and cozy den and build a wall around it to keep out intruders, we can even start our own Clan! A rogue Clan..."
Silverfoot: "There's no such thing as a rogue Clan. I'm sure if you keep trying, Pikestar will eventually let you in. The only reason why he doesn't trust you is because that one rogue group keeps stealing from us. Our herbs and food. If you find out where their hideout is, surely you'll earn his trust."
Kestrel: "..."

A. Look for the rogue hideout
