Chapter 2: Entering the Camp

Jayfeather's POV

"Jayfeather can I have a poppy seed for Poppyfrost? Berrynose yelled, " She is having a hard time relaxing!"

"You don't have to come to me every time Poppyfrost does something! Pretty soon you'll come to me because she blinked!" I yelled back

"Well sorr-y I care for my mate!"

Ugh sometimes I wish each clan had two medicine cats not just one.

I walked to the fresh kill pile and sat next to Cinderheart.

"Hi Jayfeather!" Cinderheart greeted.

"Hi, do you know where Lionblaze is?" I asked.

"He's on a hunting patrol but, if you need anything I'll be glad to help."

"Thank you." I stood up and padded to the camp entrance. Walking in the forest makes me calm down. I came across some Chervil Root. Well now that I am out here I should probably take some herbs so when I go back to camp it's not like I was doing anything. Remind me to take those back to camp. I kept walking.

"Trying to calm down?"

I jumped and spinned around to see Lionblaze, my brother.

I nodded.

"May I come with you?" he asked

I nodded again.

I turned my head to him and heard him panting like crazy.

"Do you want to get a drink at the lake?" I asked.

"Yes please…hunting all morning…can tire any cat…out." He panted.

When we got to the lake I scraped my claws in the ground. I scented a cat. Not a clan cat or rouge.

I heard Lionblaze growl, "There's a she cat with golden fur almost blond lying on her back."

"Don't attack let's investigate." I whispered. We picked our way through some bushes and found are way to her.

"I'll try to wake her up." Lionblaze stated as he gently poked her with his paw. I imagine that her eyes shot open because I heard Lionblaze stammer,

"H-her e-eyes are g-grey!"

That's one weird looking cat.

Annabeth's POV

I felt something poke my side. My eyes shot open to see the same cats I saw before, one was a golden tabby with amber eyes and the other one was a grey tabby with blue eyes. What in the name of Hades?

"H-her e-eyes are g-grey!" the golden tabby said while he stared at me.

I jumped up. At this point a lot of questions ran through my head. How could I understand them? I am not a cat! Where am I? Why am I so small? Where's Percy? Why is one cat staring at me? Why is the other cat sightlessly staring at nothing? Why am I not at Camp Half Blood? But of course being daughter of Athena all I could say was,

"Uhhhhh…"

The golden tabby shook his head and then hissed/asked "What are you doing in Thunderclan territory?"

Whoa. Wait. Thunderclan? Isn't that a fictional place? I looked down then jumped straight into the air. I was a cat with sleek golden fur and (from the golden tabby's description) grey eyes.

The tabby took a step forward and hissed.

"Calm down Lionblaze." The grey tom said while resting the tip of his tale on Lionblaze's shoulder.

Okay things are sounding more and more like my book. Creepy.

The grey tom stepped in front of Lionblaze and cocked his head to a side.

"What's your name?"

"Annabeth Chase."

"I'm Jayfeather and this is Lionblaze my brother."

I knew it! Somehow I got sucked into the book maybe it had to do with that bookmark… Jayfeather interrupted my thoughts.

"We are going to take you back to camp. Follow us." By the tone he was using with me I could tell he wasn't going to take "I don't want to go" as an answer.

I followed the two brothers through some brambles and into the forest. Somehow Lionblaze and Jayfeather remind me of Conner and Travis but I can't think about camp now maybe there's a purpose of me being here. Ugh what am I thinking I barely got into their camp and I'm already thinking about ways to help. Well I am daughter of Athena, I always have a plan.

When we got to camp I followed Lionblaze into the clearing. All the cats stopped and looked at me. Wow. There was at least 30 cats in all (including the kittens which I think weren't even paying attention to my arrival).

"What is she doing here?" I heard a cat say with disgust.

"Doesn't Thunderclan have enough kittypets?" said another.

If I was human right now I would give them my best death glare.

"Firestar we have company!" Lionblaze yelled into a dark cave (and with knowledge I have from reading the books) I knew it must have been Firestar's den.

Firestar stepped into the sunlight and gave me a nod.

"Welcome to Thunderclan. Let me get all the senior warriors and then we will talk."

I don't have many questions but I have more on how I got here!

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here under the High Rock."

Slowly all the cats began to emerge from their dens and pad over to where Firestar was standing on the High Rock. There were about five dens and they all seemed rather small but I guess they can't build that high. I might need to give them some architecture lessons because the structure of the dens wasn't that convenient if a tree fell on it.

"As most of you know we have a visitor in Thunderclan. I want all the senior warriors to join in the clearing and see what should be done."

"I know what we shouldn't do make her a warrior!" somecat yelled in the back.

I growled at the comment.

Firestar ignored it and continued, "Everyone else may continue with what they were doing." Then he padded to the edge of the rock and jumped off. Jayfeather made a motion with his head for me to follow him.

When we got to the clearing I sat down between Lionblaze and Jayfeather. Some cats that were already there growled at me or muttered something under their breath that I couldn't understand.

I gave them a glare, not a death glare, just a glare because as I said before it's hard to do that when you're a cat since the pupil is different.

Firestar came up to me and sat down.

"What's your name?"

"Annabeth Chase."

"Well Annabethchase-"

"Uhh, you can just call me Annabeth. Chase is my last name." I interrupted.

"She's weird already!"A grayish tom said.

"What's a last name?" Lionblaze asked.

Of course! They don't know about last names.

"Well where I'm from everyone has a first name and a last name." I responded, "Kind of like you guys, I-I mean cats have."

"What would be my names?" asked a cat with golden fur. She looked more like a squirrel than a cat if you asked me.

"What's your name?"

"Squirrelflight."

Figures.

"Well, Squirrel would be your first name and Flight would be your la-"

"Can we stop talking about NAMES for Starclan's sake?" the same tom said. I think I have my first enemy. I also was about to correct him that it's not Starclan's sake it is Zeus's sake but then I remembered they don't know about Greek mythology.

"Would you like to stay here for a while in Thunderclan?" Firestar asked.

"Sure." At the moment I forgot all about camp Half Blood.

"Very well you can stay here and if you prove your self you can become a warrior. If you want." He added. "In the mean time Dovepaw will give you a tour of Thunderclan." then he padded to his den.

I heard a lot of complaints from the other warriors but just wait till I use my fighting skills on them.

"That's Dovepaw." Jayfeather said as he nudged me towards a grey she cat.

"Hi I'm Dovepaw." She said cheerfully, "What do you want to see first?"
