This story is gonna be about a cat, two western-fence lizards, and a lynx. It will center around stereotypes projected on the cat and/or the lynx in the story. In the beginning of the story, there are gonna be three (“antagonist”) characters introduced. There are two owls (twins/siblings) and a hellhound.

They are great horned owls because 1. Owls symbolize bad luck, 2. The setting is in a coniferous forest, and  3. They are one of the absolute worst owls out there.

I chose to add a hellhound by the name of Ramsey because 1. It’s the devils’ dog, three.  2. Hounds are also a symbol of bad luck, 3. To tell/signal to the reader that these animals aren’t gonna have the best of luck when encountering/trying to associate with the black cat. I’m gonna start the story by focusing on the ‘worst’ animals talking about ‘what makes the cat so bad’ or just like them.

CHARACTERS: Ramsey, Ghou, Ghee, Pon, Jorge, Tea, Thyme, Blue-Bel, and Iura
Ramsey: Ramsey is a hellhound who (basically) controls Ghou and Ghee. He’s trying to take over the forest, but he needs the black cat on his side (she embodies an erce, courageous, mysterious, undeniable attitude, and is a well-known friend amongst the witches). His ferocious attitude makes him seem like a dictator, but amongst everyone else in the forest, he’s the strongest/has the most control there with the twins on his side.

“What makes the cat so bad?” said Ramsey (hellhound) to Ghou (great horned owl).

“Not anything in particular. I only hear things from Pon (fox). Pon says that ~that~ black cat is absolutely impertinent- that ~that~ black cat is-” Says Ghee (Ghou’s younger sister).

“Why do you always listen to Pon? That fox is a pathological liar- and his way of life is completely warped! I don’t understand why you give him the time of day.” Ghou interrupts.

“It’s no business to you, Ghou. Ramsey asked, and I gave an answer. That is until you cut me o.” Ghee says in an irritated tone.

“I cut you o because you were gonna spew out complete nonsense.”Ghou says abruptly.

“How dare!?!” Ghee responds in oense.

“Now the story’s not even about the cat.” Ramsey exclaims.

“We’re sorry Ramsey.” Ghou and Ghee speak in unison.

“Answer the question. What makes the cat so bad?” Said Ramsey.

“I’m positive most of what they say isn’t true, but around the forest, throughout the ponds (or like a breeze/gust of wind howling through the trees)- everyone has something to say about the black cat,” says Ghou.

“They say all sorts of very diffrent things, but it all goes back to that black cat,” says Ghee.

“And what is it that they say?” Ramsey says impatiently.

“Pon told me that Jorge (squirrel) said that that cat ate 3 of her cousins.” Says Ghee.

“Mhm, what else?” Ramsey says engagingly.

Scene moves from Ramsey, Ghou, and Ghee (in the morn/evening) to the black cat (showing up a little later, named

Iura, setting: nighttime), a lynx (Tea), and the western- fence lizards (m older- Blue-Bel and f younger- Thyme).
(the setting changes from day to night meaning that the antagonists were talking about the cat the entire day)

“Where are we going, Tea?” asks Thyme (f -younger western-fence lizard).

“It’s so dark. I didn’t know we’d be leaving so late.” says Blue-Bel (m -older lizard).

“ We’re here because we have something to search for. Something we need to do before dawn.” says Tea (lynx).

“And what is it we’re looking for? Is it something we’d only nd at night?” Thyme asks in a concerned tone.

“Yes. We’re looking for an old hut. It should be up near the Ravens’ Nest, alongside the river.” Tea says.

“The hut is only visible at night? Is that even possible?” Thyme asks.

“ No, nothing about this situation is.” Tea says.

“ When the Raven sleeps, the hut appears, but only for a brief moment.” Blue continues.

“What are we searching for inside of the hut, exactly?” Thyme asks.

“We’re searching for a silver coin the size of Blue’s belly.” Tea says.

“Iura says she needs it by dawn.” Tea informs.
