Shark-Tank's Mark Cuban goes all in



Theyve learned how to attack a dead rabbit, Thorn sneered. And the older cats were discussing how to turn hunting moves into battle moves. Clear Sky forced the fur along his spine to stay flat. What was Gray g up to Thorn went on. They were about to practice fighting, but a black cat interrupted. Do you mean Tall Shadow Falling Feather padded closer. Thorn shrugged. Maybe. Clear Sky narrowed his eyes. Why did the black cat interrupt Dew shrugged. She and Gray g made some kind of speech from a rock. Then the rest of the cats started cheering. Thorn frowned with distaste. They were chanting names. Then every cat ate. Every cat Clear Sky curled his lip. Was there enough prey More than enough, Dew told him. They had a heap of it and they gobbled it up like a pack of dogs.

Clear Skys belly tightened. It sounds like theyre preparing for battle. Gray g wouldnt start a battle Quiet Water gasped. Wouldnt he Clear Sky narrowed his eyes. Gray g might be soft, but he was no fool. Hed fight if he thought it was the right thing to do. And yet, the last time theyd spoken, Gray g had backed away from challenging Clear Sky directly over Bumbles death. Why show hostility now Thunder Clear Sky stiffened. Was that why his son had left Had he gone to warn Gray g that Clear Sky was planning to expand his borders Jealousy burned beneath his pelt. Had Thunder only come to the forest in the first place to spy for Gray g Traitor Hed been Gray gs cat all along I trusted him because he was my son Hackles rising, Clear Sky felt a growl rise in his throat. Im a fool Can we join you then Dews calm mew jolted him from his thoughts.

Yes Pulsing with rage, Clear Sky barged past the rogues and headed into the woods. I was right to set boundaries. Im right to train my cats for battle. War was coming. He could feel it. Gray g was on the move. Clear Skys claws spiked leaves as he marched through the woods. If Gray g thinks hes going to take us by surprise, then he can think again Well be ready. He halted and stared between the trees. Beyond, the moor rose like a spine arching against the setting sun. You want battle He pictured Gray g training his cats to fight. Ill give you war. image CHAPTER 6 image Where is everyone Thunder strained to see through the mist. Dawn light filtered weakly through the thick fog, which shrouded the moor. Am I early He was waiting to join Gray gs expedition to Clear Skys camp. Gorse Fur had promised to come. Jackdaws Cry had volunteered too. But Thunder was the only one outside the hollow. Paw steps scuffed behind him. Thunder whipped around. Gray g A dark shape showed through the mist. Its me. Jackdaws Crys mew was hushed. Where are the others His black face emerged from the fog, a muzzle-length away. Thunder shrugged. Im the only one here. He stretched his ears. The fog muffled the sounds of the camp. Is anyone else out of their nest It was too foggy to tell.

Jackdaws Cry shook out his pelt with a shiver and sat down. Thunder faced the moor stiffly as silence descended between them, thicker than the fog. He remembered the black toms hostile gaze yesterday. Jackdaws Cry had never wanted him to join the cats on the moor, even as a kit. He hunched against the chill of the fog, the memory of his early loss echoing painfully in his chest. In one day, hed lost his mother, been rejected by his father, and then had to stand and listen while Gray g pleaded with the moor cats to allow him to stay in their camp. Jackdaws Cry had argued that they couldnt take in another mouth to feed. Hed backed down when Gray g had threatened to leave if Thunder was sent away, but Thunder still carried the memory of the black toms resentful gaze. He pictured it now, its sharpness boring deeper and deeper until Thunder couldnt stay quiet. Are you hoping Ill go back to my father Jackdaws Cry jerked around, blinking. Why would you say that He sounded confused. Ive seen how youve been watching me since I returned, Thunder growled bitterly. You didnt want me back. You never wanted me to begin with. You were Clear Skys son. Jackdaws Cry shifted his paws. Not our responsibility. I had nowhere else to go, Thunder murmured.
