A/N: This is a story using my OCs. If you wish to know more about them then please feel free to PM me or review and I'll PM you. And also, please don't review saying that I'm not allowed to use my OCs and all that guff because I REALLY DON'T CARE!
Chapter One
Splashstar shuddered as the cold wind hit her fur. Something was moving behind her den. She could tell this because she heard fur brushing on the rocks, and claws scraping on the stone. Moving swiftly, she raced out of the den and began to follow the unidentified creature. A milk scent wafted up her nose. A Queen? she thought. However much Splashstar tried, she couldn't recognise the scent of this ... intruder.
"Who's there?" She mewed, her voice quivering with fright.
The bushes behind her rustled and a cat padded out. It was in the shadows so she couldn't see the cat's pelt or anthing. A strong scent brushed past her. Splashstar smiled as she indentified it at once.
"I saw you leaving. I thought you might like some company," breathed a soft voice. It was Lightningclaw. Splashstar relaxed. Lightningclaw was her best friend. Well, so was Ebonystar, (The current clan deputy and former Darkclan leader – that is why she has star in her name) but she was not awake at the present moment. In any case, Splashstar was grateful for the company that Lightningclaw was offering to provide.
"Thanks," she murmured.
They padded on, following the strong milk scent deep into the forest. They soon grew tired, but kept on walking – they were determined to find the invader. A little while later they saw the 'intruder'. It was a small white she – cat, but there was something smaller next to her – Splashstar and Lightningclaw had not scented before. They felt very stupid.
It was a kit! A light brown tom with small black paws from what they could see, and it was padding slowly next to the she – cat. He must only be about two moons old, Splashstar thought, why are they travelling? Can we help them?
Summoning her courage, she ran to the she – cat's side. It had not scented her, and she shrank back in fear.
"Please don't hurt my mother," cried the kit, pushing his way in between his mother, Splashstar and Lightningclaw. Lightningclaw purred softly, trying to calm the kit.
"We won't hurt either of you don't worry. We just want to know why you're here," purred Lightningclaw, and she licked the tom's flank. Splashstar nodded her agreement and joined Lightningclaw in trying to calm down the tom.
"It's hard to explain..." mewed a voice behind them. It was the white she – cat, and she was looking straight at the clan cats – a look of desperation in her lonely eyes.
"We have time to listen," mewed Splashstar, and she sat down on the soft grass. The strangers sat down too.
"You sit down as well, other strange cat," mewed the tom, "my name is Mouse. I will tell you our story ..."
A/N (Second one!) That was the first chapter. Sorry if it's really short, but i couldn't really think of much to put into it. I think it is a bit like when Daisy came to Thunderclan. You may not think that but that is your opinion. Thanks for reading, and please review!
