? POV
My breath came in pants as I continued to run, chased by a dog. I ran deeper into the unfamiliar forest. As scared and confused as I was it never occurred to me to climb a tree, instead I kept running until I came upon a berry-bush, skidding to a stop before running into it. Close behind me came the sound of the dog's furious yapping. The scent of the berry-bush was strong so I dived under it to hide my scent from the dog as well as have a place to shelter. The dog came right up to the bush, snuffling, searching for my scent, suddenly it halted staring under the bush where I was hiding, certain it had seen me I readied myself for a fight but suddenly a twoleg yelled in the distance and the dog, tail between its legs- went scurrying back to its twoleg.
I don't know how long I sat under the bush but right as I decided to leave my hiding spot, the undergrowth rustled and I quickly scrunched down again fearing that the dog was back. Gray paws came into view and the scent of cat filled my nose. Aware that I was probably on this cat's territory I stayed where I was hoping he wouldn't notice me.
"You can come out, I know you're there." The tom's voice sounded harsh but obviously I couldn't hide anymore if he knew where I was, so I cautiously crawled out of my bush and came face to face with a sleek gray tom with blue eyes, which, I realized were blind. "What're you doing on ThunderClan territory?" he growled
Fluffing up my fur even though I knew he couldn't see me I said, "I'm sorry if I'm trespassing I was trying to get away from a dog."
Suddenly his voice softened a little, "You're injured."
I started to protest when I realized that my right eye was burning and I couldn't see out of it, "Oh! My eye! The dog didn't get me but my eye is on fire!" I mewed.
"You were under a deathberry bush you must have gotten some juice in your eye. You should consider yourself lucky that you didn't get any in your mouth or you could have died. Come with me, I have some herbs back in my den that might help. I'm Jayfeather, medicine cat of ThunderClan. What's your name? Where did you come from?"
I follow him through the forest, "I-I don't know I don't remember anything before being chased by the dog. What's a medicine cat? What's Thunderclan?" I asked
Jayfeather flicked his tail, "A medicine cat is a cat that dedicates their life to healing cats as opposed to warriors who hunt and defend the clan. ThunderClan is the clan that lives in this forest, there's also WindClan who live on the moor, ShadowClan who live in the pine forest, and RiverClan who live by the river." Jayfeather pads through a bramble barrier and I hesitantly follow to find myself in a massive stone hollow with cats everywhere.
I press close to Jayfeather as we walk through the middle of the hollow toward a cleft in one part of the rock wall. Murmurs greet us as the clan gathers to see the newcomer.
"Jayfeather!" a flame colored tom calls from the top of a high ledge over-looking the hollow. "Who's this?"
Jayfeather dips his head in respect as the tom comes over to us, "Firestar, this is-well she says she doesn't know her name or where she came from but she was being chased by a dog and got deathberry juice in her eye when she hid under a bush. I was going to help her. Now that New-leaf is here I have plenty of herbs to spare especially yarrow thanks to whichever cat found it."
Firestar turned to me and much to my relief I saw kindness in his green eyes, "Very well Jayfeather. Welcome to ThunderClan." He said and started to walk away.
"Who's that? What's going on Firestar?" various cats called out as Jayfeather led me into the cleft in the rock wall.
As I follow Jayfeather into the cave- which is much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside- I hear Firestar's voice calling out to the rest of the clan, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather below the Highledge for a clan meeting!"
"Who was that?" I ask
Jayfeather comes from the back of the den with a pile of leaves in his mouth. He sets them at my feet, "Firestar is the clan leader. If you stay you'll learn more about clan hierarchy and the names of every-cat."
"Stay? But I'm not from ThunderClan… I don't know where I'm from but what if I'm from one of the other clans?"
Jayfeather shakes his head as he gently puts the herbs he has chewed up on my eye with one paw, "You're not from any other clan, your scent doesn't match any of theirs. And don't worry about not being from ThunderClan, ThunderClan has a reputation for taking in cats in need. Firestar himself was once a kittypet. Of course you don't have to stay if you don't want to. You might also remember where you came from. But for now lets just see what I can do for your eye."
I heard a rustle nearby and turned to see what I had previously mistaken for a large rock, uncurl it-self to reveal a dark brown she-cat with yellow eyes. "Who are you?" the young she-cat asked me.
"I met her in the forest, she's injured so I'm helping her. She doesn't have a name, at least not that she can remember." Jayfeather answers for me. He turns to me, "Briarlight's back was broken by a falling tree. So she stays in the medicine den. I've done what I can for your eye, we'll know if it will heal soon. For now get some rest."
I walk through a dark forest, the tall branches of the surrounding trees blocking out any view of the stars or moon. But I get the feeling that even if I were to get above those branches I would find only darkness were there should be stars. Although it is very dark here there is just enough light-from no discernable source- that I can see the trees and the ground in front of my paws. As I walk I sense Jayfeather in the distance. Heading toward where I felt his presence I walk until suddenly I'm no longer in that dark forest. I find Jayfeather stalking a mouse and watch as he tries and fails to catch it. I let out a purr of amusement.
He turns to me and I realize with a jolt that he can see me. "What are you doing here? This is my dream."
I look at him confusedly, "What are you talking about? This is my dream." Suddenly we are no longer in the sunlit forest we were in a second ago but in some sort of cavern or tunnel. The earth starts to shake and rocks fall from the ceiling, I can smell Jayfeather's fear as we run trying to dodge rocks and find our way out of here.
