I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS! So I re uploaded some chapters cause I had to re do them a bit, just editing really.
Running through the forest, not knowing where to go or where I came from.
Just got to find a good place to stay for the night, I think. They will come and fine me, I know they will.
Then I stop because I hear paw steps. they found me! I thought. well, someone did find me.
But not who I thought.
Three cats appear through the forest behind me. A tabby, a calico, and a gray cat.
none of which I knew.
"Hey you!" The gray cat said. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" He asks.
Surprised to find another cat here it takes me a moment to respond.
"I'm Wolf, and I'm traveling through here right now." I told them, careful to not mention the fact that I was actually lost.
"Oh really?" The calico says. "And may I ask where you're heading?" She asks me nicely.
I don't know how to respond to this because really I don't know where I'm going.
She gets that I don't know and doesn't ask me again."Come with us." The gray cat says to me.
"We'll take you back to the camp and talk to Moonstar." He decides, the other two cats nod. "Okay, but who's Moonstar?" I ask them. "Moonstar is our clan Leader." the tabby says.
I just nod and follow them through the forest.
They lead me into their camp and I freeze when I see how many cats are here, a few stop what they are doing when they notice me.
So I keep following the others up to a small cave looking entrance into what I expect is the leaders den.
"Moonstar, we've brought a cat for you to see." The gray cat calls into the den. "Come in." I hear a voice call from inside.
I follow the other cats into the den and see the cat named Moonstar.
A white she cat sitting there almost as though she were simply waiting for us to come like she already knew I was going to wander into this territory.
"Well hello there, and who might this be?" She asks. "We found her wandering around the edge of the territory." The calico tells her.
"She says her name is Wolf." The whole time she spoke, Moonstar was looking at me, as though she knew me or expected me or something.
"Then hello Wolf, and why are you traveling through Thunderclan territory?" she asks me.
Realizing she isn't mad that I'm in her territory I explain. "I was traveling with my mother and a few other cats." I tell them. Which is true...
"And where are they?" She asks, though in her eyes I can tell she already knows the answer to that question.
"I don't know." I say. "I went to explore while they were gone and got lost, I have no idea where they are." I tell them.
She looks at the other cats and asks. "Have you seen any other cats around the territory?" They all shake they're heads. Moonstar simply nods.
"You three can leave for now, I would like to speak with Wolf for a moment." She says. The other cats nod and leave, leaving me alone with Moonstar.
"Well then, I suppose we should see if we can help you find the others you were with." She decides.
"Is there anything else you would like to tell me?" She asks me.
I've got many questions, but I decide to not ask them just yet. "No, I don't." I say.
Moonstar nods and walks out signaling me to follow her.
Stepping out of the cave I see there are even more cats then before, They notice us come out of the cave almost immediately.
I see the three cats that brought me here sitting with a few other cats, When they notice us they come and sit beneath the ledge.
As they other cats start noticing us they too come and sit beneath the ledge too and look up at Moonstar expectantly.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting." Moonstar calls to the clan, Though most cats were already here a few that seemed to have been sleeping come out and gather beneath what is called Highledge.
Every cat looks up at me. some interested, some confused.
I look at Moonstar when she starts to talk, relieved that they all stop staring at me when she speaks.
"As I'm sure you've all noticed by now we have a visitor in the Clan," She announces, waving her tail towards me. "This is Wolf, She got separated from the group of cats she was with. I've decided to try to help her find them.
"I'll be organizing a Patrol to go with her and search for them just out of clan territory." Moonstar tells them.
A few cats seem skeptical about this decision, But she ignores them and leaps down from the Highledge and waves her tail for me to follow.
I follow her down and cats gather around to see if they are needed for the Patrol.
"Alright now," Moonstar says. "Mintspot, Flamefeather, Owltuft and Oakpaw. You're on the patrol." She calls out.
The three cats that found me in the forest and a younger cat, Maybe a moon older than me, Come up when Moonstar calls them. "Eat first, then when you're all ready go and try to follow where Wolf came from." Moonstar tells them.
The gray cat nods and Moonstar jumps back up the highledge and back into her Den.
Then other cats start coming over and talking to the others, I just sit back and wait.
After a while the Calico cat comes over to me while the others are talking. "Hello there," She says.
"I don't think we've been properly introduced have we?" She asks me. I shake my head, still being silent.
"I'm Mintspot." She tells me. "Then its nice to meet you Mintspot." I say, remembering the manners my mother told me about meeting new cats.
"That's Owltuft, the Deputy." Mintspot says pointing her tail at the gray cat.
"And that's Flamefeather." She points to the tabby.
"And that's Oakpaw, Flamefeather's apprentice." She tells me, pointing at the Brown Tabby. I simply nod and make sure to remember their names.
"Why don't you come and eat?" She asks me, Just then I finally realize how hungry I am.
"Alright." I tell her. She nods and signals me to follow her.
"This is the Freshkill pile." She says, waving her tail at the pile of prey. "Go ahead and take what ever you'd like. We have plenty at the moment." She tells me.
After we finished eating, Owltuft gets up and says. "Lets go and try to get this done before moonrise." And with that we set out to the edge of their territory where they found me.
Now that I'm paying attention I notice the scent marker's.
how was I mouse brained enough not notice this before? I thought, As we crossed over the markers and out of Thunderclan territory and out of clan territory.
I start to recognize my surroundings as we walk, I've no idea how they know where they are going. Following my scent trail, of course. I realize. Why hadn't I thought of doing that when I first got lost? But just then the scent trail seems to disappear and they spread out trying to find where it leads but come back with nothing.
after a while we return to camp and Owltuft goes into Moonstar's den to report, leaving the rest of us to sit and wait in the clearing.
a few cats come out of their dens to watch and see what happens.
Soon Moonstar comes out of her den, with Owltuft following closely behind.
And she slowly comes up to the patrol , "Well then Wolf it seems we can not find you're group of cats, We will keep looking but until then why don't you stay here? Thunderclan would gladly welcome you to stay for a while," Moonstar says. shocked by the offer it takes me a moment to reply.
"I'd love to stay, are you sure?" I say.
"Of course." She reply's and with that she goes back up onto the Highledge and calls another clan meeting. At this point most of the cats were already out of their dens so they gathered under the Highledge and looked up at Moonstar.
"I have decided that Wolf can stay with Thunderclan until we find the group of cats she was with." Moonstar says. A few don't seem to agree with this but if she noticed she ignored they're looks as she continues.
"She is now a guest of Thunderclan." Shes said with a tone that said there was no discussing it.
"And keep a look out for a group, they may the one she was with."
And with that she ends the clan meeting and leaps down from Highledge and goes into her den.
The cats break into groups talking about what Moonstar had announced. I stayed by the highledge away from the others, I didn't want to join in they're conversations since it was about me.
Then I notice Mintspot coming over. "Hello Wolf, why are you sitting over here by yourself?" She asks me. "Because I don't want to join in the conversations." I say.
"Truth be told, I'm not use to such a big group of cats, and its very different around here then from where I use to live. So its all very odd to me." I tell Mintspot, Who nods in understanding.
Just then Oakpaw comes over with another young cat. "Whats very odd to you?" Oakpaw asks.
"This place, Its not like where I use to live." I reply. "Oh I'm sure you'll get use to it after a while."
He tells me. "Where did you use to live?" he asks me.
"In a small cave next to a farm, there weren't as many tree's as there are here, and it was only a group of seven cats so we didn't need as much room, and the Twoleg place had a lot of mice." I tell them.
"Wait, you lived with twolegs?" The cat Oakpaw brought over said "Oh no," I replied, shaking my head with a smile at the cats reaction.
"but we hunted there, the twolegs didn't mind us but if we got in their way they got very mad." I explained. "One time a twoleg chased me because I almost tripped it. Those twolegs though aren't as fast as us so we always outran them and never really worried about them catching us." I told the three cats. the third cat's eyes got wide while I was talking.
"It chased you? Weren't you scared the twoleg would catch you?" He asks me. Getting a bit less shy now I replied. "Not really, like I said, they were never that fast. I never actually worried about them catching me." I said truthfully.
"Wow, I'd be terrified that the twoleg would catch me if got chased by one." He says. "I guess I'm just used to it." I reply.
That night I was told I could sleep in the apprentices den, Though I couldn't actually fall asleep.
So I got up and walked around the forest, when I got to the lake I was amazed at how beautiful it was. So for a while I just sat there and fell asleep.
"Hey. Wake up Wolf!" I heard a voice say next to me, then a sharp claw jabbed me in the side.
"Alright alright I'm awake!" I said, Drowsily getting to my feet. "Why are you out here?" I hear the cat say, Sounding annoyed at me.
"I couldn't sleep so I went for walk." Finally realizing that it was Oakpaw who had woken me up. "Didn't mean to fall asleep, Guess I was more tired than I thought," I said, Noticing he was staring at me. "What?" I ask. Shaking his head he says. "Nothing." And turns around.
"Come on, We were wondering where you had gone off to." And with that we left for the camp.
