Chapter 1: A New Warrior
Jungle Clan
A white tom was patrolling with a bluish-grey she-cat.
"We're almost done, Bluefang. When we get back, we can eat." the tom meowed.
The grey cat, Bluefang, replied, "Finally, I'm starving."
Then, the bush right next to them moved. A black-and-red she-cat popped out of the bush and looked at the two warriors.
The white cat's back arched and hissed, "What are you doing here? Don't you know this is Jungle Clan's territory?"
"Yes, I do know this is Jungle Clan's territory. I'm here, because I need permission to cross your border." the she-cat replied.
The two cats were confused. "Are you not a rouge? Why do you need permission to cross?" Bluefang asked.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I don't follow the warrior code."
"How do you know about the warrior code?" the white tom hissed.
"I heard about them in the other clans. Now can you please let me cross?" she answered.
"Why should we let you? For all we know, you can be one of the other clans' spies, you're just going to stea-" Bluefang cut the warrior's words.
"Wait, Cloudfur. Maybe she's telling the truth. I never seen her in the Gathering, and she doesn't smell like a clan cat."
"But-" He started again, but was cut again.
"Excuse us for a minute." Bluefang pushed Cloudfur to the side and whispered, "Look at her, looks like she haven't eaten for a few days."
Cloudfur look over to where the black cat was sitting. He notice how thin she was, even thinner than them in leaf-bare. "She doesn't smell sick or anything," he finally replied.
"Really, what if she dies from hunger? How can you be so heartless about this!?" she hissed. "You want to take her to Shadowstar?"
She gave him the Well-what-do-you-suggest look. He sighed, and turned to the rouge. "You're coming with us, to see our leader." Cloudfur commanded.
"You have to excuse Cloudfur. He's very protective for the clan's safety. I'm Bluefang. What's your name?"
"Redheart." the black cat meowed.
"Your name sounds like a Clan cat name." she commented.
Outside somewhere(dream)
Stardust was walking in the forest. It was warm and the colors were rich. "Where am I? This is not Trash Clan's forest." Stardust said out loud.
"No, this is Sky Clan, Stardust." A voice answered.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Stardust looked around.
"Do not be afraid. Someone will come to join you on your quest. Be aware of the enemy who used to be your friend." The voice faded and so did the forest.
"Wait! What do you mean? What friend? Tell me!"
Then everything went black.
Jungle Clan
When they got to the camp, the first thing Redheart sees was the nursery. A black tabby queen was lying outside, enjoying the heat.
They walked to a fallen tree with vines covering the entrance. 'So this is the leader's den.' Redheart thought.
Cloudfur walked in the den and talked to his leader. When he came out, he told her to go in.
Redheart hesitated, but went in.
Inside was dark, but you can still see where you're going. In the center of the den, a dark pelted tom was grooming himself. He stopped when she walked up to him and bowed.
The tom meowed, "Please come, sit down. We have much to discuss."
She sat a few tail lengths away. "Let me introduce myself. I am Shadowstar, leader of the Jungle Clan. May I ask who you are?" His voice sounds calm, but hostile. He has a reason to be so hostile.
"I'm Redheart. As you already know, I'm a rouge. I'm here to ask permission to cross your border."
Shadowstar was quiet for a while and scrutinized her.
"Why does a rouge need permission to cross the border?"
"I may be a rouge, but I also follow the warrior code." she replied.
"It's very unusual for a rouge to follow the warrior code without being in a clan."
"Well, maybe I'm an unusual cat." she meowed.
"How did you know the warrior code?" he asked.
"While I was traveling, I met some of the other clans and learn how the clans serve each other. I also learn that you believe in Sky Clan. I would like to learn more, but I don't want to be a burden to the other clans. And if I did stay in a clan, I already chose a clan to stay."
"Well, it's getting late. Why don't you stay for tonight?" Shadowstar suggested.
"Why not." she shrugged.
"Go find Cloudfur and he'll show you where you'll be staying. And I'll ask someone to bring you fresh-kill."
"There's no need for that. I can get my own prey, but not without your permission, of course." Redheart ask.
He agreed. She got up and bowed. Once she out of the den, she spotted Cloudfur instantly. She patted up to him.
"Cloudfur, Shadowstar wants you to find a place for me to stay." Redheart explain.
"Of course," He walked to the nursery, "hey, Tallface. Do you mind sharing the nursery tonight?"
"No, I don't mind at all. Who is this?" Tallface meowed. "Oh my, you look like you haven't eaten in a while."
Redheart answered, "Well, I haven't eaten in a few days."
They look at her, shocked. "A few days," She nodded.
"How can you survive without food?" She shrugged.
"I'll get some fresh-kill." Cloudfur offered.
"There's no need for that. I'll be hunting my own prey. Shadowstar already give me his permission. Can you show me where the best places to hunt?"
"Sorry, on patrol. Maybe BlueFang can show you." Cloudfur said.
"Okay," Cloudfur went to find Bluefang, when Tallface and Redheart talked.
Bluefang came up to them and meowed, "Are you ready?" She nodded and got up. Once they got to the spot, they hunted together. Redheart caught a lot and had to make two trips to bring it back to the camp. Once they got all the prey in the fresh-kill pile, RedHeart grabbed a large mouse and patted to the nursery. She dropped in front of Tallface.
"Have you eaten yet, Tallface."
"No, why," Tallface ask curiously.
"Here, you need it for your kits." She pushed the mouse toward her.
"What about you? You need your strength."
"It's alright. I can eat later."
Tallface look at the mouse, and back to Redheart.
"Thank you." She started to eat.
Redheart grabbed a crow and a vole and patted to the Elders' den. Bluefang was confused by her actions. Two elders were grooming each other until they saw her walking up to them. She dropped the prey and bowed.
"Hello, I'm Redheart. I'm here to give you prey."
The grayish-blue she-cat look at her, surprised. "Well, I'm Blueberry and this is Mouseleg. It's so nice to know that some cats respect us, Elders."
"Well, I'm interested in hearing story from you some time, but I'm only staying for the night." Redheart meowed. "I brought you fresh-kill, if that's okay with you."
"Of course, that's very nice of you to do so." Mouseleg thanked. "Why don't you come and join us?"
"I would love to, but I want your clan to be fed before I eat." she explained.
"My dear, when's the last time you have eaten?" Blueberry asked.
She looked away before saying, "A few days."
The two elders were surprise. 'How can she survive without food for a few days?' Mouseleg and Blueberry thought.
"Why not eat now?" Blueberry asked.
"Doesn't the warrior code tell us to let the Elders and Queens eat first?"
"You know the warrior code?" Mouseleg meowed.
"Yes. I think it's very interesting how you follow the code and want to experience this one day." Redheart explained.
"Why not stay here?" Blueberry asked.
"Because if I did, I already choose a clan I want to live with."
"And which clan is that?" she asked again.
"That's a secret." Redheart winked, turn around, and walk away.
'She's a very interesting cat.' When the last cat got his fresh-kill, Redheart walked up to the pile and grabbed a very small mouse. Looking around to find a quiet place to eat, Bluefang called to her.
"Hey! Come and eat with us." She walk towards her and started to eat.
"You need more than that to keep you strength up." Cloudfur stated.
"So, what's it like to be outside, looking at different place?" Bluefang meowed, curiously.
"It's great, but sometimes, it's hard to find a shelter and food if you don't know where it is."
"What if you get sick? Who takes care of you?"
RedHeart answered, "I take care of myself when I was 6 moons old."
"Who took care of you before?" Cloudfur was interested.
"I have a foster mother who cared of me. She trained me to hunt and fight to survive." Redheart tried to stiffen a yawn, but failed.
"Come on, you need your rest." Cloudfur got up.
Redheart got up, too, but stumbled.
"Whoa, here lean on me." Bluefang offered.
Redheart lean on to her and walk back to the nursery.
"Well good night." Then she walk in the den and lay down. She fell asleep instantly.
(dream)
Redheart was in the same forest as when Stardust went, but this time a raven tom appeared, the raven tom walked up to her.
"You are close to your destination." he said.
"Why do I need to go to Trash Clan's territory? What's so important there?" Redheart ask.
"You must find your brother, but don't tell him that you're related just yet." he said.
"Okay." Redheart look down, disappointed.
"Don't worry. When the enemy is defeat, you can live your life as you want."
"But why us, why me," Redheart asked.
"Because, you, and your brother have an important role, now you have to wake up. You're leaving soon." The tom and the surrounding were fading.
"Until, we meet again, goodbye." And everything went black.
Redheart woke up very early, so early that it's still dark. She stretched and walk out of the den. The cold wind hit her face and the smell of leaf-bare was in the air. She shivered and walk to the entrance.
Cloudfur was guarding and everything's quiet. He heard footsteps and turn to see Redheart.
"Hello, how do you feel?" he asked.
"Good morning, I feel good. I'm just going for a walk before I go."
"I'll go with you.'" he offered.
"Okay. Can you show the way to the Trash Clans territory?" Redheart asked.
"Yeah, it's over he- Wait, how do you know of Trash Clan?" Cloudfur asked.
"The other clans told me." She said it like it was obvious. "Ok, well let's go." Then he ordered her to follow him to the Trash Clan territory.
Near the Jungle Clan's Border
Stardust was near the Jungle Clan's border. For some reason, he felt like something was calling out to him.
"Why are we here again?" Blackcrow asked.
"I feel like something is calling me." Stardust answered.
'Why here? What's so important here?'
Then, he smelled cats approaching.
He followed the smell to find a white cat that he recognized as Cloudfur, but the other he does not know.
Stardust and Blackcrow hid in the bushes near them, where the wind was blowing away from them.
"Why do you want to go here?" Cloudfur asked.
"I have to do something." Redheart said. "Well, tell Shadowstar thank you. I hope to meet you and your clan again."
"You're leaving now?" She nodded. "Ok, I hope to meet you again, too. Fair well, travel safely."
Then Cloudfur turned around and walked away.
When he was gone, Redheart called out, "You can come out now."
'Is she talking about us?' Stardust thought.
"Yes, I'm talking about you." She answered, like she read his mind.
They can out and walk up to her. "How did you know that we were there?" Blackcrow asked.
"I could hear you."
"Well, ok then. I'm Blackcrow and this is Stardust. What's your name?" He introduced.
"Redheart."
"Are you a Clan Cat?" StarDust meowed.
"If I was, then why am I here?" She answered with a question.
Blackcrow looked at Redheart closely, and took a look at Stardust closely as well and back to her.
"Do you have any siblings, Redheart?"
"Yes, but I lost him when I was a kit." Redheart narrowed her eyes. "Why?"
"You look kind of like Stardust, thats all." Blackcrow meowed.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, you have this aura that is hard to explain, and you keep your emotions close to other cats." Blackcrow explained.
Redheart and Stardust look at each other and then look back at him.
"What else?" Stardust asked.
"You guys also look alike. You might be twins."
"You don't know that. Just because we look the same, doesn't mean we are related." The raven tom said.
"Anyway, what are you doing here, if you're not in a clan?" Blackcrow ignored his comment.
"Why do you want to know?" Redheart shotted back.
"Hey, don't use that attitude with me!" Blackcrow shouted.
Redheart chuckled at his comment.
"Well, are you going to tell us or not?" Stardust asked again.
"No, but can you help me? You two look like you know this place better than me and I'll help you in return. How does that sound?" Redheart meowed.
They thought for a few moments, look at each other and nodded. "Ok, you can come with us." Stardust said.
"Thank you." Redheart smiled.
"Come on." They walk for half an hour. While they were walking, Redheart fell in a hole and twisted her paw. "Crap." She mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Blackcrow and Stardust stop and look at her.
"Nothing, I just tripped." She answered.
She tried not to limp.
A few minutes later, her leg gave out and fell.
"Fuck," She cried out.
Blackcrow and Stardust ran up to her. "What happen?" Stardust sounded concerned.
"N-nothing," She tried to walk, but fell again.
"Well you can't walk like that. Maybe you should rest." Blackcrow said.
Redheart tried to argue but Stardust cut her off. "You need to or it won't heal. I'll go find some herbs that'll help."
"Go find some poppy seeds. It'll numb the pain." Redheart mumbles.
Stardust went to find the seeds and Blackcrow help her to find shelter.
It didn't take long to find the seeds.
He shakes two seeds out and give it to her.
She licked the seeds and in a few minutes she fell asleep.
