I do not own warrior cats or doctor who.

Cinderheart woke up the next morning in Leafpool's, the medicine cat of Thunder Clan, den. Well, Leafpool's AND her apprentice Robinpaw. She had just gotten an apprentice three days ago. After the explosion the last night, Cinderheart was taken to the medicine cat's den to be treated for shock. All the warriors of thunder clan had tried to ask her so many questions on what happened. They were saying it was a miracle she was alive. Though the clan was happy she was alive, they were still mourning the loss of a beloved warrior. A patrol went to investigate the site of the explosion to see if there was a fire, and found a body of a cat underneath rubble from the explosion. The body was that of Thornclaw. Though it was no surprise that he had not survived, Leafpool was baffled by his death. She had discovered that it wasn't the explosion that killed him. There were strange cuts all over his body especially around his neck. Why this was so strange was because the cuts didn't look like they came from claws. They looked more like thorn scratches!

"Cinderheart, do you have any idea how this could have happened? I mean you were there after all, right?" Leafpool asked Cinderheart as she got up in the morning.

Cinderheart's mind raced to come up with a convincing lie, for she had remembered what the strange silver-blue tabby cat had said the night before. She couldn't tell anyone. "W-well no actually I wasn't. You see, I had found him already dead, and I was running back to camp to tell everyone about it when the explosion happened. I didn't say anything last night because I was in shock last night." she said barely faltering.

Leafpool nodded and turned back to the body. Cinderheart breathed a sigh of relief "Shame you don't. I wish we could know what killed him, and how to prevent it so this wouldn't happen to any other cat." Leafpool said.

"Me too." Cinderheart said honestly. She wasn't quite sure what those bush things were, and she definitely didn't know how to stop them, but she did know one thing: that silver blue tabby, the Medicine Cat, had something to do with them.

Cinderheart and he mother Sorreltail were walking through the woods. Cinderheart had been released from Leafpool's den with a clean bill of health. She wasn't given any assignments for the day though, so she was on a casual hunt with her mother.

"I'm still worried about you, I mean, you could have DIED! Who knows what that explosion was about! What if just walking around in the forest like this causes another one and you get caught in it?" her mother went on.

"I'll be fine! Now come on, let's get some hunting done!" Cinderheart said. Her mother sighed and nodded. Cinderheart went off tracking a squirrel. She had it in her sights, got into position and...*SNAP!*

Cinderheart looked away from her prey in the direction of the snap, which by now knew of her presence and ran off. she heard a slithering, snaking sound and saw a fern shake. she slowly moved towards it and it shook again, as well as the one next to it. Remembering what happened last night, Cinderheart's fur stood on end. when the ferns stopped shaking, she swiped at it with unsheathed claws.

"OW!" she heard a voice jumped back. Could those plants talk?! Suddenly the owner of the voice stepped out of the ferns. It was the silver-blue tom from before He looked completely unscathed from the night before, but now had a scratch on his head from Cinderheart. His bow-tie had a bit of ash on it, proving he was the same cat as the night before. He scowled at Cinderheart and said, "What the heck was that for?!"

"I-I-I-Its you!" was all Cinderheart could say.

"I-I-I-its me. Yes. I think we've established that." he said sarcastically. He had an annoyed look on his face, but it slowly changed to a look of curiosity as he studied her. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"What am I doing here?! This is my territory! What are you doing here?!" She retorted.

The strange tom looked at a stick, or at least what looked like one, he was holding that had a blue tip. "Huh, Must have gotten the wrong signal." he muttered and then put the stick away. He looked at her and studied her again before cracking a small grin. "You aren't a bush, are you?" he said poking her head. She gave him an annoyed glare and he chuckled.

"What are you doing here?" she questioned him. he opened his mouth to answer, but another fern shook and they heard a voice.

"Cinderheart! are you ok? I heard a shout!" Sorreltail said before stepping through the brush. she stopped as she saw the strange tom with her daughter. "Who are you?" she said before getting into a defensive position.

"Mother, it's ok, he is just a lost kittypet. I was just about to take him to the border." Cinderheart lied. Sorreltail looked between them, glaring at the tom before nodding and turning back. Cinderheart started leading the tom away from the area so they could talk.

"What's a kittypet?" the Tom asked as they moved along.

"Its a cat that lives with a twoleg." she explained, "Are you a kittypet? I mean you do have a collar."

"Twolegs?" He said aloud confused before saying, "You mean the hairless apes that walk erect on two feet? Those are called humans, that's the correct name for their species, not twolegs. As for being a domestic cat, or a 'kittypet' in your terms, no. I don't have an owner. Also, this is not a collar, its a bow-tie. Collars are dull, boring, and bland. Know the difference; it may just save your life."

Cinderheart gave him a confused look and then said "So who exactly are you, and what were you doing by the training hollow..." When she turned to look at him, the thorny branch from the night before was wrapped around his neck trying to choke him. Cinderheart pulled it off, but then it attacked her. The silver-blue tom known as the Medicine Cat grabbed ahold of the branch dragging it away from her, and pulled out the stick with the blue tip. He pressed a button on it and the blue end lit up and buzzed. The branch stopped struggling and went still.

"What is that thing?!" Cinderheart asked catching her breath.

"It's a thorn branch." The Medicine Cat said with an 'are you serious?' look on his face as he pointed to the branch.

"No! not that! the stick!" cinderheart said.

"This?" he said gesturing to the stick with the blue tip, "Its my sonic prophecy stick. Well, its not really a stick because it's not made of wood, it's made of metal. It's designed to look like a stick though."

"Prophecy stick?" Cinderheart questioned.

"The prophecy bit is just to make it sound cooler." the Medicine cat explained.

"Ah." Cinderheart said.

"Well, I'll be off then!" the Medicine Cat said grabbing the thorny branch and walking off in a different direction.

"Hey wait! who are you? And what's the deal with the living bushes, why are they after me?" Cinderheart said running after them.

" I told you, I'm the Medicine Cat. Just the Medicine Cat. Its not my title, its my name. And those things weren't after you. Do you think the world revolves around you or something?" He said smirking at the last bit.

"No, but those things were attacking and chasing me." Cinderheart said.

"No, they were after me. You and your little friend got in the way. And that branch only came to us because I was there. I was tracking it down, but it was also tracking me down, it attacked you because you've met me." he explained.

"So it's all about you? Are you saying the world revolves around you?" she said snickering.

"Yeah, sort of." He said smirking.

"You're full of it." she said.

"Yeah, sort of." he replied. she chuckled.

"If you're not a kittypet than what are you? a loner? a rouge? another clan cat?" she asked.

" Sort of a loner, but I pose no threat to you. I'm a traveler." he explained.

"So what is up with the crazy plants? What do they want?" She asked.

"Its not all plants, just shrubs and bushes, and they're being controlled." He explained.

"Ok, so what does the one controlling them want?" She asked.

"Your world." he said turning to her.

"...What?" She said stunned.

" The thing controlling the bushes and shrubs wants your world since its is gone, and it's willing to take it by force." he explained, "Do you believe me?"

Cinderheart said, "No."

"But you're still listening." the Medicine Cat smirked, feeling as though he had won.

"Fine, maybe I believe you a little bit." she said rolling her eyes and smiling, "So are there really other worlds out there?"

"Oh yeah, millions of them. As numerous as the stars in the night sky." he said.

"And who all knows about this stuff? these worlds and crazy pant controlling things." She asked.

"Just me." he said. " This is my job. When you lot are sleeping in your nests, hunting, eating, and chatting about the weather, there's a war going on, all the time right under your noses, and I'm the one fighting it." He said. They came to a clearing with an odd blue tree stump near the base of a tree. "Well I best be off. Good bye." he said.

"Wait!" she shouted, "Who are you?"

he gave her an annoyed look. "I just told you that not ten minutes ago! Do you have that small of a memory span?"

"No I know your name but who are you really?" she replied.

He thought for a second. "You know how we were talking about the Earth revolving?" he said, "Well I know the Earth really does turn. I also know that the Earth spins around the sun, and the moon around the Earth. How do I know this? Because I can feel it. I can feel the turn of the Earth. I feel the very universe in motion. I know the name of every star, and most planets. I understand the universe more than anyone else. That's who I am." Then he walked a few steps away and said, "Now forget me Cinderheart. Go home." He pointed the thorn branch in a direction close to that of the camp and walked toward the blue stump. Cinderheart looked at the ground and turned to leave. She walked until the clearing was just out of sight when she heard a strange whooshing sound. She turned and ran back to the clearing, but the strange cat and the blue stump were gone. She stared at where it had been. The cat had told her to forget him, but how could she? especially now. She only stopped staring at where the stump had been when she heard her mother calling, and she reluctantly left. Little did she know, something had been watching.

Meanwhile, Lionblaze was on a hunt of his own. He was tracking down a rabbit. He was in a crouching position, and was about to pounce, when he heard something. he looked to his left to see the bramble bushes next to him shake. Curious, he walked over to the shaking bush and began probing it, but when he did the bush seemed to grip onto his paw.

"What the-" he said trying to pull away, but the bush tugged and tugged and dragged him in. "Help!" he screamed before disappearing into the bush. It shook for a few seconds before stopping.

About ten minutes later, a cat stepped out of the bush looking like Lionblase, but it wasn't him. The fake Lionblaze moved like a machine. It looked towards the treeline near the lake and said, "Yes master, I obey. I will find the one called Cinderheart and find out what she knows by any means." It then walked off in the direction of the Thuder Clan camp.

Hey I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Just so you guys know, Jayfeather in this series isn't blind. Don't worry though, I have a good reason for this. as the Medicine Cat, he needs to be able to observe and read, therefore he needs to see. also, He ends up in locations where he's not exactly familiar and the whole reason he can tell where he's going in thunder clan is because he's walked the area enough to know where everything is.

anyways, please comment!
