Chapter 1

Eagle was awoken by the sound of rain. Great. Just what I need. Rain, he thought as he glanced up at the top of the cardboard box he had slept in. The young tom shifted into a more comfortable position and tried to get to sleep again.

Unfortunately when he had almost drifted off a drop of water hit his head, making him hiss in frustration. The top of the box was soaked, no use as a den anymore. Eagle would have to find another place. Another place in a quieter area, away from Spark or Bone's base.

With a yawn the tom crept out of the box and stretched. The hard twoleg ground was wet and there was a big puddle not far from Eagle's box. He shook his pelt then padded over to the puddle, then crouched down beside it. Eagle lapped at the rain water slowly and after he had a good drink he glanced to the sky.

The rain is getting lighter Eagle noticed and padded off in search of something to eat.

"Hey! Eagle!"

Surprised the tom turned around to see his brother standing there. It was odd to see Thorn there, since they left their mother and Thorn joined Bone's gang he barely saw him. Various times they had argued about why Eagle wouldn't also join Bone.

Eagle padded towards his brother "Why are you here?" he asked, keeping his voice calm.

"Bone asked me to find you" Thorn informed him.

Eagle frowned "Tell that fox-heart I'm not coming"

"Come on Eagle, you know you can't refuse an order" Thorn retorted "And don't speak of him in that way, Bone is a fair leader"

Eagle snorted "Fine, I'll come but if this is to recruit me then... I'm will leave as soon as he asks"

Thorn said nothing and walked off but Eagle knew to follow him. Eventually he was let to an abandoned twoleg den. Inside sat Bone on a few boxes.

"You came" Bone said slowly "I did not expect you to. Thorn, you're dismissed"

"What do you want?" Eagle asked, unable to hide the bitterness in his voice.

"A favour" Bone replied, frowning at Eagle slightly.

"Why not ask one of your.. servants?" Eagle replied, feeling impatient.

"Because he won't trust any of my cats. Only you, who separates himself from us other city cats, could get him to trust you"

"He? Who is he and why do you want me to gain his trust?" Eagle asked, feeling curious.

"He calls himself Rain. Recently he came to the city, we let him live here. But he is odd" Bone explained "You have heard of the legends of warriors. Well they are true. And dangerous. They... well.. they are gone now. But cats, former warriors, exist. They are a threat. I am suspicious of Rain. Your job is of course, to find out if that is true. Bring him to me once you have gained his trust and if he tells you that he was a warrior"

Eagle thought for a moment then spoke "Fine. I accept the job"

To be honest he just accepted it to learn about the clans and warriors. If Rain was a former warrior then he could tell him everything. The legends had always been vague and Eagle had always wanted to learn more about warriors.

"I would accept no other response" Bone mewed gruffly and added "You are dismissed"

Eagle left quickly in search of Rain, sure the tom could be anywhere but he had all day.

In fact, to learn more about warriors and clans, he would be willing to search for Rain for a few moons.

AN : Sorry that this chapter is kind of short, I hope to make them longer in later chapters.

Anyway please review! It helps me write!
