Okay Shimmerfeather. You don't have to pester me about my grammar. There are a lot of people on here that have worse grammar and don't do any punctuation what so ever not even quotations on dialogue. And I know you read Dustlands. That book was way worse. Oh to those of you who might be confused Shimmerfeather is my friend outside of fanfic. We met in sixth grade. Shes tthe one who actually got me to read warriors in the first place. And I don't know why she asked me to post this chapter when shes already read it but oh well. Sarre from TNC is based on her as well as Annabeth from ITW and Kaya from MTMOB. And those are all abbreviations of other fics. Shes the Japan to my Italy.

"Ugh." I wake up with a massive headache. I look around. No sign of the others but four cats lay unconscious. They left me. Jerks. I get up and look at the trash can next to me. That's a lot bigger than I remember it being. I start to panic. Everythings bigger than it used to be. I look down at my feet but almost faint at what I see. I have paws. Instead I scream. "Aaaahhhhhh." My scream wakes the cats.

One sits bolt upright. A handsome golden tom. "Who's screaming?," he says in a vaguely familiar voice.

Another one, a silver tabby tom, mumbles, "no ones yelling. Go back to sleep Ren." Then it hits me.

"Aaaaahhhhhh," I scream yet again this time rousing the other cats.

"Stop yelling Ren," the second cat says sitting up.

"I'm not yelling you, wait did that cat just talk?," he says in a freaked out tone.

"I'm a cat. I'm a cat I'm a cat I'macatI'macat." This is not happening.

"Talking cats," a small cream colored she-cat says. "Just great."

"I'm gonna scream again," I say.

"No anything but that. Your loud for a cat." I cuff the golden tom over the ear.

"Your obnoxious for one. And I thought all cats were angels but guess I was wrong. Still. I'm a cat. This isn't happening."

"Wait. What happened?," a tortoiseshell she-cat asks. "I was just following my friend when we got attacked by cats of all things." I realise another thing.

"Maple?"

"Yeah," the tortoiseshell says.

"Cindy, Ren, Nate. We turned into cats." They all stare at me the truth dawning on them.

"No way. Awesome," the one I think is Ren says just to get cuffed over the ear again, this time by who I believe to be nate.

"Well we cant just stay here. We gotta go," nate says. "The city's not safe with animal control. We should head to the forest," he says like this kind of thing happens to him everyday.

"Lets go." With that we start off towards the forest. If I thought this was a dream then my hopes were dashed because I hurt where I have found a long gash in my side. Dreams cant hurt right. "Does anybody else feel like they've been hit by a bus," Ren asks.

"So its not just me," I say. "Maybe it was the cats." I get a hm in response and then we continue walking in silence. We reach the forest by night fall.

"Lets stay just inside the forest." We all nod in agreement. I go off and gather moss for us to make beds out of. When were done we go to sleep with heavy hearts wondering how this ever happened.

I wake up to a prod in the side. "Five more minutes mom."

"Kaya I think you should get up," Ren says. I think about how blue his eyes are and his shaggy golden hair. Wait what's Ren doing in my room.

"Kaya get up now," the usually non-pushy maple says and the panic in her voice tells me I should get up. Then the past day comes rushing back and I leap to my feet to come face to face with a white she-cat.

"Ah," I say stumbling back into another cat. I look around and see we're surrounded by cats. "What's going on?"

The white cat is the one who answers my question. "Your in Dayclan territory."

"What's Dayclan?"

"You don't know who we are?" Now she seem confused.

"I know your the cats who woke me up when I was having a awesome dream."

"But you smell like Nightclan cats. We just have to take you back to Pinestar and see what he wants us to do with you." She scared me the way she said that. "Follow us." We follow them deeper into the forest until we come to the moss covered base of a large tree. I'm confused until I see the white cat brush aside the moss to revel a tunnel. "Inside." We do as told and the other cats follow.

"Pinestar we have returned. We found some cats on the outskirts of the forest. They smell like Nightclan cats but claim to not know what Dayclan is." A bronze tabby tom walks from under a bush.

"Hm. They do smell like Nightclan but they don't look like them."

"Are Nightclan a large group of cats. They might be the cats that attacked us yesterday. They lured us into a ally then ambushed us."

"That sounds like them. Was there a small black she-cat with white paws?"

"Yes. Shes the one who lured us there."

"What are your names."

"I'm Kaya."

"I'm nate."

"My names maple."

"I'm Cindy."

"I'm Ren."

"Are you in need of any housing? Our clan happens to be in need of some strong cats and y'all are just the kind of cats we're looking for."

"As it just so happens, we are currently without a place to call home. But what's a clan?"

"You must be kittypets." I give him another questioning look. "What I mean is you live with twolegs."

"Twolegs." I think a moment. "You must mean humans."

"Hahaha. I've been all around and heard many names for them, twolegs upwalkers no-furs housefolk pinkpelts, but never have I heard humans. Well are you kittypets?"

"No we don't live with humans."

"Well welcome to Dayclan," he says and a bunch of cats start coming out of the and when I say a bunch I mean a bunch. I smile. I am gonna love this place.

Also Maple is sort of based on Shimmerfeather. And girl if my grammar bothers you so much just ask for my kindle and fix it yourself. You are my editor. Today was our first day of high school. I hate high school. I don't have any classes with Shimmerfeather. I did but my schedule was all janked up so I had to move that class and now the only time we'll see each other is lunch.
