Chapter 1- The Past

I used to be a cheerful kitten, always playing, nibbling my siblings ears when they wouldn't play with me. In that way I was the same as all other kittens except, I had a curiosity that always got me into some sort of danger, whether it was as small as a baby sheep attempting to eat my fur or as big as nearly being found and kept as a pet by humans...urghh. My favourite adventure was when mother was teaching us to hunt baby creepers (why I don't know they taste horribe) and I got lost and got found by daddy creeper who ,hehe, screamed like a girl and ran and then it got dangerous because you never EVER upset a mummy creeper, even though they're meant to be scared of ocelots, they always chase you and go BOOM! Mother was not very keen to take me hunting again after that...hehe.

But the happy times ended eventually whilst I was young unfortuanatly (but I'd rather not go into that) and when I was all grown up, learnt in the arts of being a cat,on my very first week on my own I managed to get found and caught by some human in a lab coat, blonde hair and goggles. I was put in a bag and eventually fell asleep. When I woke up I was in a cage not too bad but still, I didn't want to be there. I waited a few minutes, during which I checked out my surrondings. The cage I was in was in a small room with white doors and one door which by the looks of it was iron without a way out from my side...I'm guessing there was a lever on the outside of the door. Soon three men walked in talking about how they where glad Duncan(the one who caught me, I think) had joined...I think they said Yoglabs?Anyways the other two where also in lab coats one was tall and seemed to be the boss,and if I heard right he was called Lewis, the other was a bit shorter and had a orange beard so I reckon he was a dwarf and he was definately called Simon, I'm so sure of this because he nearly knocked some glass thing over outside and his friends both shouted his name at him. I wonder why humans do that, it surely makes no difference, right? When they stopped talking about random other things, they walked right up to my cage and forced me to drink a purply-yellow substance. It tasted like water but burned my mouth like a very spicy-something. They looked at me like something was going to happen so after nothing happened I growled at them, quite aggresively if I must say so myself. They left the room after Duncan said in a confused voice ''Something might happen later, maybe it's a time thing?''

I waited a long time after that. It must of been night time when the following events happened.

I'd fallen asleep but a loud sound woke me, it sounded like an explosion. Then I smelt smoke. I looked for a way out of my cage as more explosions followed getting closer until it was in the next room. The cage must have been very weak because at the explosion in the next room the cage broke and I ran. The whole place was blowing up and was up in flames. I kept running but when started to come close to the exit a large block of the roof fell on me. It was then I saw the three scientists.

Simon saw me and started to come back and help me but Lewis grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the building. Duncan had seen me but all he did was have sorrow and regret in his eyes, a small apology but better than nothing, I guess. They all left me to die and I honestly thought I was going to, but as I started to black out from the smoke, the blood loss, burns and being crushed, two white orbs appeared shortly followed by the form of a man. He grabbed my paw and then there was darkness.

When I awoke (again...) I was in a average-sized room and I had bandages in quite a few places on my body. I looked again and noticed that I had changed. I had filled a human bed, and when I thought back to it had stood up on my back legs something that I couldn't even think about before. The liquid, it must of done it changed me to a Cat-Person-Thing. I was also black now rather than my previous yellow and browny-black spot colouration which was odd. I laid back in despair then I saw the same man that saved me. He came over, assesed me and asked me to join his army-the hostile mobs. He had a air of importance that made something inside of me automatically respect him. Makes sense being as it later turned out he was Notch's brother. I accepted his request with slight hesitation. I asked his name. He told me he was known as Herobrine and then asked me my name.

I told him my name is Shadow.
