Question by Beanie: How do you think my Novel is going on so far?
I sort of got the Idea off of the Warriors series, but isn’t quite the same.
Prowlers: The New Twilight is a book including Dogs and Cats, whom of which live in Human dens [Human homes], while others live in the forest, prowling it and catching woodland prey. However, this isn’t all that meets eye. The first Prowlers book is set in the late nineties, approximately 1999, and follows the main character, Rose, a cat, on her adventures in the Wild. Meanwhile, the second main character, Artie, a Blue Merle Great Dane is followed from a Giant Mammals’ den into the forest where he joins a pack of Dogs and struggles to survive in this new life, but is it really what he wants? Or will he return to his past to the life he once lived with his soft Giant Mammals? Both Rose and Artie started off their lives in very different ways, but as times goes on, are they in the same boat?
Now for how far I’ve gotten:
C h a p t e r ONE
Whimpering, the dog stepped forth in pain, pushing himself onward. His wounds bled as the streetlights shone brightly on his black and white pelt. Suddenly, eyes appeared from corners all around, and dogs gathered around him. Helplessly he yelped for help, hoping that someone other would be able to save him from this treachery.
Shaking and yelping, the dog realized that none of what he had just witnessed had been true. Shrugging all of his worries off, he pushed himself up into a sitting position and slowly began to clean himself.
“Artie!” a voice barked from the door. “Artie, come quick!” the voice sounded again, this time along with the sound of pawing at the door. “I’m coming! But please, quiet down until I get there!” the dog growled and padded over to the door. He was such a large breed that he didn’t have to wait to see the other dog standing in front of the door. Crouching through the plastic dog door, he nudged his friend to move. “Artie, Evy has had her puppies!” the other dog spoke quickly and ran off down the street, toward a little pale yellow house on the corner. Quickly, Artie bounded after his friend, his pads slightly aching from them pounding on the road’s hard, rough surface.
Finally… Artie thought as the yellow house began to appear from behind the trees. Suddenly a jolt of fear prickled through Artie’s spine. He was being taken and dragged by a couple of dogs, which were making grunting and scoffing noises. Even so, they seemed no threat at the moment, as he wasn’t injured. Time went by quickly, and he was awoken by more dogs. Artie was in a peculiar place when he awoke and he face was flooded with shock and confusion. “Where am I? Who are you?” Artie growled, his tail lowered and eyes glaring threateningly at the pack of dogs laid all around him. Even though he knew he wouldn’t be able to take those many dogs down by himself, he hoped his behavior would threaten them enough to tell him what he wanted, and possibly let him go. What do they want with me? The Great Dane thought to himself, though he still hid his fear by continuing his threatening stance.
All around him the dogs were beginning to emerge from their dens made from split rocks, and bushes, along with many other things he did not often see. These dogs began to come forward with confused and puzzled faces, but once the face of a Pure White dog -the color of fresh snow- emerged from one of these dens, they stopped and slunk back a few steps. “Calm down, Bonehead!” the white dog grunted, watching the amused faces of the pack ripple through the area. “I’ve been watching you for days. You have great speed and agility, which is something you’d need to be part of the Pack. You’ve shown great promise, and now I’d like to invite you join us.”As she spoke, head and tail held high, she then dipped her head approvingly, awaiting Artie’s answer.
“… I-I… I don’t know!” Artie panted, letting his aggressive stance fall and stood normally with a puzzled face, “I don’t know anything about you. Let me think about it, a-and I’ll get back to you tomorrow” he said, slinking off quickly through the bushes, with his nose to the ground, trying to find his way back home.

It might not be the greatest to start off, but it’ll get better.
I’m open to constructive criticism, just as long as none of it is rude.
Thanks!
Thank you ^^~
