Chapter one
Wing woke up in her mother's den in the abandoned twoleg nest; the twoleg nest was partly fallen apart. She looked around to see the other cats in their group called Arrows Rouges; they were called that because their leader a black she-cat was called Arrow and they were a rouge group. Wing yawned and stretched out and ended up hitting her brother Twig, "Ow, watch where you're putting your paws." He meowed to her.
"Sorry Twig." She meowed to him, then she got out of the den carful of her siblings and then gave another stretch. "Hi Wing." Came a meow, Wing turned to see Splash a blue grey she-cat and the groups second in command or General, "Hi Splash." She meowed back.
"What are you doing out of your mothers den?" Splash asked.
"Trying to wake up without disturbing my siblings." She meowed.
Splash gave a small chuckle and turned to look at the nest where Wings mother and siblings where, "They do have trouble getting up in the morning don't they." She meowed, getting a chuckle from Wing.
"Splash we need to organize today's patrols." Came a meowed from the other side of the twoleg nest, Wing looked to see Arrow's black pelt. "Got to go." Splash said and then walked over to Arrow. Wing turned to her mother's den to see her mother and her siblings starting to wake up, "Robin can we go outside?" she asked as she walked over to her mother.
"Do the rest of you want to go outside?" she asked the rest of her kits, the three kits agreed and began jumping up and down with excitement. "Ok we'll go outside."
"Yes." Wing breathed. Robin led her kits out of the twoleg nest, once outside they saw a tortoiseshell, black and white she-cat watching over three older looking kits, Wing recognized the kits, the tortoiseshell and white she-cat was called Nettle, the ginger tabby she-cat was called Ginger and the black, white and ginger tom was Maple. "Hallo Leaf." Robin meowed. Leaf looked over at them, "Hi Robin." Leaf meowed back, "I see your kits decided to voucher out of the den." Leaf meowed.
"Yes they have." Robin meowed. Then the three older kits ran over to wing and her siblings, "Want to play?" Ginger asked them.
"Yah." The four kits agreed, and all seven kits ran to a grassy patch and started to play. Nettle picked up a ball with a shiny thing inside that made a jingling nose when you shook the ball. "This is called the jingling ball." Nettle explained to the younger kits, "The bell inside is what makes the jingling noise." He meowed. He then throw the ball and the kits began the game, the kits played until it was almost sun high then they stopped to rest and eat. Twig and the rest of Wing's siblings where curled around their mother asleep, but Wing couldn't sleep she was too excited. She snuck out of her mother's den and out of the twoleg nest, once outside she began exploring around the twoleg nest and the street beyond, careful not to be seen by the cats on guard.
As she was exploring on the far side of the street she heard the sound of jingling, thinking is was a jingling ball she turned around and what she saw terrified her. In front of her was no a ball but a black and white creator that was growling at her, seeing this she turned and ran with the creator that she thought was a dog right behind her, she ran as fast as she could, then from the corner of her eye she saw a flash of ginger and brown this caused her to trip, she looked behind her to see a ginger tabby she-cat and a light brown tom then a moment later a black tom and a dark gray tabby tom stepped out of some nearby bushes. Finding its self outnumbered the turned tail and ran.
When the dog was out of sight the ginger tabby she-cat turned to Wing, "Are you ok little kit?" she asked, but Wing was so scared that she didn't say anything. The ginger tabby walled over to Wing and sat down next to her and placed her tail around Wing, "You don't have to be afraid, my name is Squirrel, the light brown tom is Acorn, the black tom is Beech and Bracken is the dark gray tabby tom." Squirrel meowed.
Wing looked at Squirrel and then the three toms, "I'm Wing." She meowed after a moment. "Hi Wing, where are you from?" Squirrel asked her. "Arrows Rouges." Wing replied. Squirrel looked at her friends than looked back at Wing, "Do you know how to get back to them?" she asked Wing, Wing shock her head.
Then Bracken stepped forward, "I might know a cat how could help." He meowed and then picked Wing up and headed in a different derision. When they got to a cretin fence Bracken jumped onto the fence and into the garden, he then placed Wing down and walked over to the door. Wing looked up to see Squirrel and the others still on the fence, after a moment they jumped down next to her. A moment later Bracken returned with a black and white tom, "Wing this is Snooky, Snooky this is Wing a kit we found. She got lost while being chased by a dog." Bracken meowed to Snooky. "Snooky do you know a group of cats called Arrows Rouges?" Bracken asked Snooky.
"No I don't, but Skyclan might be able to help, even if they haven't heard of this group they may be able to help us find them." He meowed. Bracken nodded, "You know those cats and where they live, led the way." He meowed. Snooky nodded and jumped onto the fence, Bracken picked up Wing and then he and the others joined Snooky, then he led them to Skyclan.
At the bottom of a gourde on a pile of rocks laid a pale brown and cream tabby she-cat enjoying the afternoon sun when she heard a cry, she looked up to see her deputy Sharpclaw as well as Fallowfern and Waspwhisker and his apprentice Harrypaw returning to camp with a small group of other cats one of with was familiar to the she-cat. "Leafstar we found these cats near the twoleg border." Waspwhisker a gray and white tom meowed.
Leafstar nodded then turned to the other cats, "Hallo Snooky, I hope that you have a good reason to lead these cats to our camp." Leafstar meowed.
"I do have a good reason." Snooky meowed, she then turned to Bracken, who's placed Wing down by Snooky, "This is Wing my friends found her being chased by a dog in twoleg place and now she doesn't know how to get back to her group."
"Dose the group have a name?" Leafstar asked, "Yes its call Arrows Rouges." Bracken meowed. Leafstar nodded and walked over to a light brown she-cat with a white underbelly and legs, the two talked for a few moments and then they walked over to the small group, "We don't know this group, but I will be welling to have my warriors look for this group and until we find them Clovertail has agreed to look after Wing."
Bracken nodded, "We will also look for this group." He meowed to Leafstar and then turned to Wing, "These cats will take care of you until we can find your family." He meowed to Wing. Wing nodded and then Bracken and the others left and Clovertail led Wing over to a cave, "This is the nursery. It's where queens raise their kits until they are old enough to train as warriors." Clovertail explained to Wing.
Clovertail and Wing entered the nursery to see a tortoiseshell and white she-cat watching three older kits play fighting. "Cherrytail." Clovertail meowed. The tortoiseshell and white she-cat that Wing gusted was Cherrytail looked over at her and Clovertail, "Yes Clovertail, who's that?" she asked spotting Wing.
"This is Wing, some of Snooky's friends fond her being chased by a dog in twoleg place." Clovertail meowed to Cherrytail, "Now she can't find her way home so Leafstar asked me to look after her until she can get back to her family." Cherrytail nodded then called her three kits over, "Wing this is Brownkit," she said placing her tail on a brown tabby tom, "This is Whitekit and this is Blazekit." Cherrytail meowed pointing to a white tom and a dark ginger she-cat.
"Why do their names end with kit?" Wing asked Clovertail, "Their clan names, you see when a cat is born into the clan their mother or father, cause some time the father gets to chose the kits name, give them a name with kits at the end and then when the kit reaches six moons old their name goes from 'kit to 'paw and then when they finish training and became warriors like me and Cherrytail they receive their full clan name." Clovertail explained.
"Do I have to take a clan name?" Wing asked.
"No, you are only here until you can be reunited with your family and even if you where to join the clan if you did not want to change your name you could talk to Leafstar about that." Clovertail meowed to her.
Whitekit walked up to Wing, "Want to play?" he asked. Wing was about to answer when a big yawn stopped her. "It looks like someone is in need of a nap." Clovertail meowed. "She can play with you later after she's rested." Clovertail meowed to Whitekit. Then Clovertail led Wing over to a nest and curled herself around the little kit and both fell into a deep sleep.
One moon later
A moon later Wing was sitting outside the Skyclan nursery, Skyclan warriors had found the abandoned twoleg nest where the Arrow Rouges had been staying but all that was left was a pile of ruble. The twoleg had destroyed the nest. Now Wing was staying with the clan until her group was found or until she was old enough to live on her own. Wing looked back into the den to see Tinycloud a small white she-cat who was expecting Egg's kit, Egg was a young warrior who decided to keep his name instead of taking a clan name.
"Hi Wing." Came a call and Wing turn to see Birdclaw a black she-cat with a gray muzzle she and her brother and sister were the clans' newest warriors, "Hi Birdclaw, what brings you to the nursery?" Wing asked.
"Just bring this rabbit to the queens." Birdclaw meowed pushing a rabbit towards Wing, "Clovertail and the others will like that." Wing meowed. Birdclaw gave a purr before picking up the rabbit and entering the den. Wing decided to go play with Cherrytails kits, "Hay Whitekit, what you guys doing?" she asked him.
"Where playing moss ball." Whitekit meowed.
"Can I join the game?" she asked. "Sure, you can join Blazekit, and me and Brownkit can be a team." Whitekit meowed. The four kits started playing their game until sun high when a cry interrupted the game. Wing looked over to the cliff face to see Ebonyclaw, one of the clans' daylight warriors, leading a small group of cats, along with Ebonyclaw was her apprentice Morningpaw and Sparrowpelt. As Wing looked at the new comers she began to recognize some of the cats then a blue grey she-cat became all too familiar to her. "Mom!"
