Preface
The trees rustled in the night, and the moon sat at its highest point in the night sky.The stars shine down on the forest below.An owl hoots in the distance as shadows stretched across the the moonlit clearing of the forest.As if there was a silent signal out of the shrubs appears a shadow.It moves steadily over to a steam that lay nearby.The shadow takes the shape of a cat.She was a ginger she-cat with warm green round eyes. Walking cautiously she pads to the edge of the tall grass and bent her head over to lap at the crisp droplets.A faint breeze stirred with a strong scent.
"Hello there."meowed a rusty voice out of the darkness.The ginger she-cat jumped at the unexpected guest and turned around to see a pretty long-hair brown tabby she-cat standing behind her.
"Oh,hello there i didn't see you there!"the ginger she-cat meowed to the brown tabby she-cat.
"What's your name dear?"meowed the white and light brown she-cat as she sheathed and unsheathed her claws as a grin appeared on her face.
"I'm Ema.Who are you?"meowed Ema curiously to the strange she-cat a cold lump settled in her stomach.
"My name is Victoria."meowed the strange she-cat as she stepped closer to Ema a wicked grin growing in her face.As Victoria got closer Ema's eyes grew wide when the two she-cats eyes met.Victoria had unusual eyes they weren't a normal color for a cat the were blood red!
"So where do you live?"Victoria asked the ginger she-cat as she rubbed up against her flank and sniffed at Ema's pelt as she gave Ema a lick.
Ema widen her eyes Victoria felt very cold and her tongue wasn't pink it was very pale and cold.Ema managed to answer her question"I...I ..live o.. oo..over by that old log over there."
"Would you like to play?"asked Victoria as her lips drew up in a wicked grin revealing sharp white teeth as she sheathed her claws. Ema was confused why did Victoria come to play?Why is she so cold?Her eyes?everything came to one conclusion.She remembered her mother telling stories about these strange cats that live in the forest."They are as hard as stone and as cold as ice.They are very fast,very strong,strange eyes,and they feast on other cats blood.They are not alive and never age."she recalled her mother as she said this praise.They were called Vampirecats!She remembered Victoria's blood red eyes,very cold body,pale nose and tongue and it all made sense.
After a long pause Ema meowed"I know what you are!"
"What would that be?"challenged Victoria amused."Say it!"
"Vampirecat!"meowed Ema hastily as she stared at Victoria with wide bright green eyes as she can't believe what she's seeing is real.
"Are you afraid?"meowed Victoria deeply in a challenging tone.
"No."meowed Ema standing her ground to the Vampire she-cat. Victoria gave a low growl and meowed in a threatening meow,
"Bad answer!" Just then Victoria leaped at Ema knocking her to the ground winded but alive.Ema tried to get up frantically but Victoria was to fast.Victoria picked Ema up by the scruff and threw her to the ground very hard breaking her neck.Ema was dead in seconds.Victoria bent down and sunk her teeth into the limp she-cats neck and began gulping down the thick red liquid.

"Rocky over here look!"meowed a white tom as he dashed over to a limp unmoving body of a ginger she-cat.The white tom bent his head over and sniffed the body and checked for a pulse.
"Is she dead Frost?"meowed Rocky as a massive gray and white tom padded up and stood next to Frost and sniffed the body too.
"Yep she's dead."confirmed Frost as he sat back up and looked into his friends bright blue eyes.
"How did she die?"
"Look she has a bad broken neck."meowed Frost and his eyes grew and he meowed"There's no blood!"
"What!No blood how?"meowed Rocky shocked as he searched for any possible sign of blood but growled as he failed.
"I've heard that there are blood sucker cats out there called Vampirecats.You think that's what got her?"meowed Frost curious.
"I don't believe in that stuff!"snorted Rocky"They're just made up to scare kits!"
"They say they are as hard as stone and as cold as ice.Their eyes change color,their very fast,not alive,never age,suck blood from other cats,and are very strong."
"Myths!"hissed Rocky wrinkling his nose in disgust.
"Then why is there no blood??All her blood's gone!"meowed Frost challenging to the massive tom.
"Well....um"
"Ema!Oh no Ema!"cried a distressed voice.The toms turned around to see a black she-cat racing to the body.Frost and Rocky backed away from Ema's body giving the black she-cat some room.
"Is she dead?"choked the black she-cat needing Ema's body as if that would bring her back."What happen?"She meowed looking back and fourth between the two toms.
"We do not know.We were out bumming and we found her body."meowed Frost
"Who are you?"asked Rocky to the distressed she-cat.
"Oh I guess I should have introduced myself my name is Puma."She bowed in greeting and then asked warmly"Then who would you two be?"
"I'm Frost and this is my friend Rocky."meowed Frost warmly as he introduced himself and Rocky.
"Nice too meet you Puma."meowed the massive white and gray tom bowing his head in greeting as well and asked"Were you and Ema close?"
"Yes she was my sister and yes we were very close."she mewed her eyes clouding up at the thought.
"I'm sorry."mewed Frost softly as he rubbed up against her jet black pelt to comfort her.
"We're both sorry Puma."meowed Rocky as he went to do the same thing and gave her a lick on the ear.
"It's ok things like this can happen it's not your fault she's dead."meowed Puma feeling a little better.
"Are you sure your going to be ok?"asked Frost gently to the black she-cat watching Ema's unmoving body with sad eyes.
"Oh yes I should be fine."Puma mewed softly to the white tom.
"Do you need any help with barring her?"asked Rocky
"Thank you for the offer I appreciate it.Yes I would like that"
Rocky went over and gently grabbed Ema by the scruff and the three went off toward Puma's area to help bury her sister.They stopped by the old log and found a spot by it to start digging.After they finished burying Ema they sat and had a vigil for her.
"You will be missed my sister."mewed Puma softly her eyes started to cloud up as she sniffed.Rocky rubbed up against her and licked her ear to comfort her.Just then the sound of rustling from behind made Frost jolt.
"What was that?"he meowed looking with curious blue eyes to the others.Frost thought he saw dark gray fur but turned and saw nothing.
"He he he"
"What's going on!"yowled Puma in shock searching the forest with confused eyes.Then her eyes grew large as a unfamiliar long-legged lean dark gray tom appear out of the shrubs.A smirk on his face.
"Who are you?"meowed Rocky in a challenging voice leaping in front of Puma.
"Wh..who are you!"whimpered the scared black she-cat.The fierce looking
