Book: Outrageous

Prologue
Six cats paced around in the meadows, their anxious scent filling the air. "We can't do this anymore!" exclaimed a silver-blue tom. "We have to find better land so that our kin will survive." After he spoke this, a ginger tom emerged in the scene, swiftly jumping over the fence and landing on his paws as his paws touched the lumpy grassy field. "Your kin?" he hissed, challenging the silver-blue tom. "What about my kin? You only care for yourself, Whale. No wonder our leader you always feed your mate and kits first!" The silver-blue tom hissed at the ginger cat's comment and unsheathed his claws. "Don't forget you're also selfish too, Hazel," Whale shot back. "Don't you remember that time you let your mate- "

"Enough!" a thin light brown tom exclaimed and leaped up to the fence, lashing his tail impatiently. "Is this how the rogues would become? Arguing? Divided? The last thing we need now is an altercation. The first thing we need now is a new leader. "Thistle is dead!" There were suddenly gasped as more and more cats emerged from the Twolegplace as they jumped over the fence post.

"That's enough, Dust," growled Hazel. "I'll lead the rogues. I'll be the greatest leader and we shall conquer and thrive!" Many cats yowled, prevailing, but Whale shook his head. "Hazel, you'll be a lousy leader. I'll be leader," he declared. Hazel rolled his eyes. "And what kind of leader would you be, Whale? I say that you'll be as lousy and clumsy as a Twoleg." Many cats gasped at the insult, glancing at Whale to see his reaction.

"Why can't I be leader?" asked a small voice, and Swoop entered the meadow, puffing his chest. "Me too!" squealed Krystal as she darted to the center of the meadow where she stood next to her brother. Their mother, Bird glanced at them angrily. "Get back here!" She dashed to the center and grabbed her kits by the scruff as she dragged them back to the Twolegplace. Hazel watched them go, with amusement, but Whale broke his amusement, as he raked his muzzle with his claws and then kicked him across the meadow and banged his head into a tree. Hazel yowled in pain and then fell silent as if he was dead. The cats glanced at Whale and started to hiss at him. "Why did you do that? We're in starvation right now!" a black she-cat whose name was Spider hissed, her mate, Mud sat next to her.

"Spider, you're Hazel's mother right? Since I'm leader now, I sentence you to exile. Your mate will stay here with us." Whale chuckled. "Same with Bird. All of Hazel's kin will be forgotten."

Chapter 1
Spider dashed through the Twolegplace, giving her mate one last anguished look before dashing through the woods. She stopped when she thought she covered enough ground, but a voice startled her as she turned around. It was her brother, Rising Bush, who was with Blowing Wind, and Clear Stream. "We thought you needed company. We left a few seconds after you. Mud also escaped too, although we're not sure where he went."
