Chapter 3 New Foreigner

Grey's pov:

I walked in to see Julius fixing clocks and Alice helping him.

Julius looked up from his work before spotted the little kitten in my jacket.

"Another stray I believe," he coldly said.

Before I could replied a small cute mew broke in catching Alice attention. I looked down to see the kitten was awake staring back at me with its big dark purple eyes, it gave another mew. Alice came to my side eagerly to see the source of the adorable sound, when Alice saw it she took it out my arms and gave it hug. The cat tremble at first before gave in the comforting touch and gave a purr. I keep myself from taking the kitten, it was just so cute. Just as I was about take the kitten its belly growl in hunger. The kitten looked at its tummy and at us.

"Well it looks like someone is hungry," Alice teased as she scratches under the kitten chin earning a purr. Alice and I walked to the kitchen and filled a bowl of cat-food. Alice set the kitten along the food down, the kitten looked at the cat-food before walking away. Huh, we watch as the kitten looked around. Its ears twitched as the kitten went to a perfect crouching position, then pounce at the direction, the cat seem to catch something. When I went to see what it catches, I saw it was a mouse.

The cat ate it happily, it seem it more of a wild cat. I looked at Alice and she seems to be a bit upset. After the kitten was finish eating Alice scolded it for killing the moues.

The kitten looked down while being scolded by Alice, Alice's eyes soften.

"I'm sorry, I'm just upset about you killing a mouse," she apologized.

I looked at the counter and spotted a stack of papers; I pick them up and decide to give them to lord Nightmare.

"Alice, I'm going to give these to lord Nightmare," I called to her.

"Ok, but bring the kitty with you. I think Nightmare would like to meet it," she said handing the kitten. I gladly took it and thanked her as I head to lord Nightmare's office.

Nightmare's pov:

I looked over the jewel that Bluestar and Spottedleaf have given me. I twirled it along with my fingers.

"Glaze of night shall rise as fire and water." It repeated in my head.

"Ugh, what does it mean?" I asked myself, I looked over the finished paperwork and let out a sign. No matter what I do I can't distract myself from this riddle, oh, I wish someone help me with this.

As I rest my head with hands there's a knock on the door "Come in" I said.

Grey came in with a stack of paperwork, I let out big sign as he set it of my desk. I was about began I spotted a pitch black long-haired little cat with dark purple paws along with tips of its ears and tail. The cat has the same colored eyes that it looks like your staring at an evening sky. As I continued to stare at this mysterious cat I heard young voice of female. I looked around to find the source of the voice.

"Lord Nightmare are you alright?" Grey asked with concerned.

"Did you heard it?" I asked him.

Grey raise an eyebrow with confusions "heard what?"

"A voice!"

"A voice?" he repeated.

I was about to speak when the same voice broke in.

"Great Starclan this den is so big!" the voice exclaimed. My eyes shot down to the cat that looked around with amazement.

"GGAAAAHHHHHHHH" I shouted as I fell out of my chair, Julius and Alice burst in the room.

"Lord Nightmare are you alright?" yelled very concerned Grey.

I didn't say anything I only point at the cat that looked at me with concerned and confusion.

"Is this twoleg alright?" the cat thought as it took step toward me as she got close to I hacked up blood. The little cat took few steps back and looked down at her now blood soaked fur.

"The cat she'd talked!" I exclaimed. Everyone looked at me as if I lost my mind.

"I have not gone insane, the cats actually talked!"

"Nightmare I think you been doing too much paperwork, beside cats can't talk their not intelligent," Julius stated.

"Not intelligent how dare you," the she-cat growled. We all looked at the cat as she unshielded her claws.

I looked at horror I never seen a cat with such huge claws, expectedly a small cat. The she-cat notice what she have done and shielded her claws and looked away with shame.

Nightpaw's pov:

I can't believe I unshielded my claws in front of them, they have been so nice to me and I showed them my horror. I turn away, I'm so ashamed of myself I wish I could be born with normal claws not these and now they hate me. I felt my eyes filled with tears at that thought I don't like to hated I want to be trusted, loved and be called a friend. I hided my face with my bangs and looked down not wanting to make eye contact.

I felt a comforting hand my on head and looked up the same sickly twoleg, he gave me a warm smile and wipe the tears on my cheeks. Rats, I must be crying without noticing. I took a step back I must not cry it shows weakens.

"Actually it doesn't it ok to cry," the twoleg said. I looked him, how did he know?

"I read your thoughts, little one. Now may I ask what your name?" he asked with a smile. The other twoleg looked at us unsure what was happening.

"Nightpaw," I answered. I watched as his eye grew widen, he reach into his pocket and pull out something that gave same reaction.

Nightmare's pov:

My eye grew widen at her answer "Nightpaw" I thought. I reached into my pocket and pull out the necklet; I heard her gasp and looked at the piece of jewel with wide eyes full of disbelief.

"Have you seen this?" I asked.

"Only in the dream," she answered.

I reached out to her and put the necklet around her neck, the necklet was meant for her. Nightpaw looked at the jewel then at me.

"Where did you get this?" she asked, everyone jumped as she spoke, oh I see.

"Did she just spoke?" Julius asked with disbelief.

"Wait, you heard me?" Nightpaw exclaimed.

"It's alright, Nightpaw it's only the jewel doing," I said tried to calm her down.

"Nightpaw?" Grey asked very confused.

"Look I'll explain," I said.

"Explain now, Nightmare. What going on?" Alice asked angrily.

-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-

"Well it seem like 'Nightpaw' is a foreigner like Alice, but I heard never of an animal being a foreigner," Julius stated as he held his chin while study Nightpaw.

Nightpaw shifted uncomfortably as she studied her surrounding, I chuckled at her thoughts.

"Wait if she's a foreigner then she must have vial, right?" Alice asked looked at Nightpaw with concerned.

"Vial? Um…what's a vial?" Nightpaw asked and looked at me questionably.

"Well… a vial is what a foreigner was given when she or he comes to Wonderland to play the 'game'," I explained as Nightpaw looked at me confused.

"Wonderland…. game? I can't stay here to play a game; I have to go back to Thunderclan, if I don't go back now then Brambleclaw wil-" she started only stopping her sentence. I watched as Nightpaw's eyes grew widen.

"OH SWEET STARCLAN I FORGOT ALL ABOUT BRAMBLECLAW AND HUNTING PORTAL!" she shouted while putting her paws on her head. We jumped at her sudden outburst.

"There, there everything going to be alright," Alice said patting the cat's head.

"No its not, Brambleclaw well be worried about me if I don't come back to camp before sun-down," she stated.

"Brambleclaw, who Brambleclaw?" Grey asked as he looked down at the cat.

"Brambleclaw is my older brother," she answered.

Nightpaw's pov:

I such a mouse-brain how can I forget about my duties, I'm such pathetic excuse for a warrior. I continued pity myself, wondering why Starclan gave such punishment.

"Nightpaw, you know there is a way," Nightmare said with a smirk.

"There is?" I asked only seeing his smirk grew bigger, oh maybe this is a bad idea.

"Yes, but you must win the 'game'," he grinned, he floated above me as looked up at him. Alice seem to bit unsteadied at about the answered I will make, but I need to go back and this is the only way, what do have to lose.

"Alright I'll do it" I answered. I bravely took a step forward showing determination in my eyes. Nightmare dug into his and pulled out a purple clear glass vial with a heart top of it, Nightmare lower him down knee down at my level. I looked as he uncapped the vial, he gently grab my chin and put the vial to my lips. I drank the liquid almost gagging at the distasteful favor. Nightmare recapped the vial and handed it to Alice.

"Alice can you take care of this?" he asked her.

"O-o f course," she answered and took the vial, she put it into her pocket. I looked at the sky as it turn night.

"Wha- it how is it night already, it was sunny just a few moments ago!" I shouted.

"Time works random here," Julius cold stated. I looked at him, I just meet him and I already hate him.

"O-oh," I said pretending to understand. I felt a hand petting my fur, I looked over my shoulder and saw Alice.

"We should head to bed, tomorrow I'm going to take to you to meet the other territories," she said.

"Territories? What other territories?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"We'll explain that tomorrow, but right now we should go to bed," she said as to down to 'den'.
