Chapter One

Morris was one of three kittens born to Sabrina and Dark Star. On the first day after his eyes opened, he boldly went on his first adventure. It wasn’t far, just to the edge of the straw bales that provided the hiding place for his mother, Sabrina, his two sisters, Alexi, and Jenni. He may have fallen over the edge had Sabrina not grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and carried him back to their nest.
