I am remaking The Special Ones, so be ready for it to be better than before!


I leapt into the air, forcing my way up the sycamore, my claws digging into the bark. I will beat Heathertuft! I know I will! My breath billowed in the cool morning air. Hmph, perfect day for early-morning training. My stubbornness turned to adrenaline in my blood. Although the gray and white she-cat had no special abilities, she was damn fast. Saddened, I plopped down next to to Heathertuft at the top of the tree.

"Mouse dung!" I panted. "You're fast!" I licked my bleeding paw, as I had wrenched a claw out in my adrenaline rush.

"Learned from the fastest! Don't worry, I'm not faster than Silverflower… yet!" Heathertuft said cockily, her tail whipping happily. I sent a sidelong glance at her.

"Let's go down a catch some fresh-kill. We're supposed to hunting, remember?" I said to the prideful cat next to me.

"Fine, I feel like a rabbit sounds good to me… Mmm." Heathertuft said, thinking of the rich rabbit meat.

"Not until the queens, Starlingfoot and Blitzstar have eaten." I said, "you don't want to break the code, do you?" She rolled her eyes, and started down the tree. We went head first, just like squirrels or chipmunks. We made it to the roots, safe and sound and, an unheard nor said message passed between us, and we sprinted toward the hunting forest. The hunting forest is a forest that has thriving prey all year-round.

"I call bunnies!" Heathertuft mewed, veering off to the rabbit clearing. This time, I rolled my eyes, heading for Squirrel Tree. I slowed when I was still far from the tree. I wouldn't want to scare off the prey, I can't even beat Heathertuft up a tree, let alone a squirrel. As I got closer to the bushes surrounding the clearing the tree was in, I could hear the squirrels rustling through the fallen leaves. The queens are gonna be happy today, and so are the kits… can't they have actual meat now? Lunarstreak and Lightfoot's kits are already causing trouble, and Lunarstreak swears, Hawkclaw is madly in love with the kits. I kept an eye on the squirrels while I was thinking, and one was left alone on the ground below the tree. Perfect. I crept behind it, barely breathing, and I leapt onto its back, cracking its spine under my weight and snapping its neck with my teeth. Picking my prey up, I happily went to the fresh-kill pile that was strategically placed in a hollow beneath a rotting tree so no other hunters could smell it. I saw a pair of rabbits, still warm, resting in the tree. StarClan Heathertuft! Always better than me. Whatever. I dropped the squirrel and headed for the Vole Flats. Voles were Starlingfoot's favorite fresh-kill. My copper-colored tail vibrated, and I felt cool metal press against it. Not again… The metal plating cascaded over my body, encasing me in a metal… cage I guess. My jaw was locked closed, and I was stuck there until someone came to help me. Always when I'm heading toward Vole Flats… EVERY TIME! I relaxed under my envelope of metals. Might as well relax, Heathertuft isn't going to be here soon… hopefully she will be though. My body relaxed, I felt my eyes drift closed, and I fell asleep, uncomfortable, but tired.


*CLANG CLANG CLANG* I felt my body tense as I was awoken by a heavy banging. I didn't know where I was, and why it was so dark. What's happening?!... oh yeah, I'm encased in metal. I hummed, terrified.

"It's okay, it's me, Heathertuft. Blitzstar and Starlingfoot are here too." I sensed the trio, but my senses were blurred by the metal.

"The plating is thin. We should be able to cut right through it with our claws, like last time. Be careful, there is a living cat inside this." Starlingfoot instructed. I felt s pair of claws run parallel down my side, and my body tried to shrink away from it, in reflex. "It's okay, it's me." Starlingfoot's soft voice calmed me, and I relaxed again. It took a while, but all of the metal was soon off me, leaving me freezing cold. A strong shiver ran down my spine, and I staggered. I felt Heathertuft scoot closer to me and she pushed her long, warm fur into my short fur. I relished the warmth, but she had to pull away quickly, as Blitzstar was looking at her weirdly. We walked quickly back, my legs, spine and shoulders aching. Heathertuft picked up our fresh-kill, which made out to be five rabbits and a squirrel.

"Good thing I decided to walk to the Vole Flats." Heathertuft chirped, trying to lighten the mood. "When I found you… as a metal cat I guess, I ran straight back to camp and came back with Starlingfoot and Blitzst-"

"Coppertail! You need to control your powers!" Blitzstar interrupted the warrior. "Any time we could get attacked, and I don't want my warriors to be worrying about you!" My ears laid back, and I crouched, taking the scolding.

"Blitzstar, that's the thing, I CAN control it. But it's always when I'm walking toward Vole Flats." With a flick of her tail, she whisked some metal in the air, and it danced for a few heartbeats, before it drifted back to the ground.

"Then, you're prohibited from going to Vole Flats." Blitzstar hissed. I stopped in horror.

"B-but Vole Flats makes up 55% of our territory!"


Oh no! Coppertail is exiled from Vole Flats! Comment if you want me to make a list of all the different hunting and training spots, and describe them for you. Peace!
