Blossom flickered her eyes open, looking up. She smiled as she saw Mouse walk to her.

"Mouse?"

"Who's Mouse?" In an instant, Mouse's image changed to a gray tabby tom. He looked at her, his amber eyes flickered with amusement. "You had a nasty fall. Thank StarClan you survived." He meowed, turning to some stuff he had behind him.

"StarClan? What's that?" Her question made him turn to her, but then he shrugged.

"Sorry. I forgot. You kittypets have no idea about Clan life."

"What's a kittypet?"

"A house cat. You know, pets for two- I mean humans."

"Humans?" She snarled, he jumped, surprised. "I'm not a pet. Humans, they did this to me!" She hissed, showing him her claws and teeth. She stood strong for a moment, then almost fell to tears.

"Mouse. How could I leave you there!" She cried softly, falling to her hind legs.

"So, what's your name?"

"What's yours?"

"I asked first."

"Blossom." She looked away, now studying the rocks she was under. Did this cat just take random cats and help them? Talk about not having a life!

"I'm Rainstorm. I'm SilentClan's Medicine cat. And this lazy bum," he meowed pointing to a dark gray she-cat with silver stripes running down her. "is my apprentice Silverpaw." Blossom nodded.

"Where am I?"

"In SilentClan."

"SilentClan?"

"Yeah. Come on and look. Don't worry, you can walk. you've been out long enough." Rainstorm meowed walking towards the exit. Blossom tried to get up, her legs felt weak and hunger nipped at her stomach.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Ten moons."

"WHAT?!"

"Relax! I'm kidding. Just long enough." He meowed. Leading her outside. Blossom blinked away the sun's light, trying to remember the last time she had seen the sun's light. She looked around, cats were everywhere! Some grooming each other, others eating, and some just walking around. Rainstorm pushed her out of the way and bounded across the clearing.

"Ohhhh leader! Our guest has awoken!" He sang loud enough for every cat to turn and look at her. She suddenly felt embarassed, but as soon as she turned to go back inside the stone den, she could hear Rainstorm's annoying call.

"Hey Blossom! Blosssssssssooooooommmmm! Our leady want to meet yoooooouuuu!"

"I've only known him for a moment and I want to kill him." Blossom hissed

---

She walked towards Rainfur and saw him standing in front of a tall black-and-white tom. Beside the tom stood a pale ginger she-cat. Rainstorm bounded over to her and slowed his pace so he could walk beside her.

"That tom is our leader, Shadestar. Beside him is our deputy, Sandrose." Rainstorm whispered.

"Deputy?"

"Yeah. If Shadestar dies, Sandrose becomes our leader." He pulled away from her and Blossom suddenly felt alone under the leader's yellow gaze.

"Hello." Blossom meowed, bowing her head. She wasn't sure what that meant, but she had seen Rainstorm do it when first walking over to him.

"Hello. Your name is Blossom right?" Shadestar replied, aslo bowing his head.

"Yes, but how did you-" Blossom paused and in the corner of her eye could see Rainstorm smiling in the background.(lol, I might draw that just for fun)

"Rainstorm told us." Sandrose meowed, glancing at her. There was a pause between them, the tension growing thick. Sandrose smirked then looked at Shadestar as he started to speak again. "We've also been told that you're our savor. Blossom, will you join SilentClan? You're young enough to be trained as an apprentice."

"W-What? No!" Blossom paused then looked at her paws. "I'm not fit to be here. I'm a monster. Besides, I need to find Mouse."

"a mouse?" Sandrose mewed, tilting her head.

"No. Mouse is my friend." Blossom took a deep breath, then explained about the humans who captured her and turned her into a freak. About Mouse's plan, and about how she had to leave him behind.

"You don't look any different from the rest of us. Sure your claws are longer than most, and your teeth are sharper. That only makes you more deadly in combat!" Shadestar encouraged. Blossom looked up him and gave a weak smile.

"I'm sorry Shadestar. But I can't sleep without knowing what happened to Mouse."

"Okay then. We'll go get him. After you've learned how to fight and hunt for yourself. Okay?" Shadestar mewed. Blossom blinked in surprise, and tears formed on her face. Would this cat really risk the lives of the cats he lead but his own too? All for a cat who they didn't know? Or could be dea-

"You'd really....For some cat....Just to help me?" Blossom asked, looking up at him. Shadestar nodded, but Sandrose shot him a hard glance.

"So what do you say? Want to join SilentClan?" he asked before she could reply, Rainstorm leaned forward.

"This is the part when you say yes and join the Clan." he whispered. She gave him an annoyed glance, but then looked around. So many cats. But could she really live like this?

"I'll train and hunt, but I will decide for sure once we get Mouse." she meowed.

"Okay. I can see why you'd say that. We'll announce your presence to the Clan at sunset." He meowed, then turned away.

"YAY! YOU'RE STAYING! YOU'RE STAYING!" Rainstorm sang, pressing his shoulder to hers. She looked at his amber eyes and sighed. "We have soooooooo much to talk about!" Rainstorm mewed happily, dragging her to the fresh kill pile.

'It's going to be a long day...'
