Chapter 2

(1 moon later)

Patches had grown taller than both Eagle and Blaze in the passing moon. But also in that moon Cherry had left and Branch had met a she-cat with three kits. The she-cat was named Flower and her kits were named Night, Holly, and Twist.

Patches looked a lot like Twist but their colors were slightly different. But Night and Holly were both black like their mother.

Patches was hunting one day when she heard a rustling behind her. Obviously the mouse she was creeping up on heard it to and went scurrying to its den. Patches turned angrily and padded towards where she had heard the noise. What she saw surprised her. She saw Twist fighting with another tom. The tom looked familiar but Patches just couldn't put her paw on it.

She then got up and tore Twist off the dark gray tom he was fighting. "What's going on here? "She asked Twist.

Twist looked at her then said, "This tom was sneaking up on you so I jumped on him." Patches then looked at the dark gray tom waiting for his response.

But then she saw the tom's bright amber eyes and she tackled him. "Shade, that can't be you, "She said excitedly. The tom was smiling when he said, "Well sure it can since it is me, "He said with the same excitement.

Patches got off and turned to where Twist was sitting feeling a bit awkward. "Oh right you haven't met properly, this is Shade he taught me to hunt rabbits, "She said to Twist. He looked at Patches and nodded before padding away. When he was gone Patches looked back to Shade. "Wanna go hunting with me, "She asked him. He nodded and they set off.

Shade was the first one to scent something. He got down into a crouch and signaled for Patches to do the same. She did so and Shade began padding around to the other side. She heard a loud yowl before a shrew flew out of the tall grass. She narrowly caught it and killed it with a swift bite to the neck.

"Good catch, "Shade yelled. Patches looked down embarrassedly before saying, "it was your idea." Shade couldn't help but mrrow with laughter. After a heartbeat Patches joined in.

They were like this until Patches heard an all too familiar call. "Patches, where are you, "She could here Wood calling. "I gotta go, meet me at the pond tomorrow, "She said to Shade who nodded and leapt away. Patches grabbed the shrew she had caught with Shade and raced over to where Wood's voice was coming from. She found him peering under a bush. "Do you really think I'd be under there," She asked her brother around her shrew. Wood jumped and hit his head on a thick branch. He looked at Patches and said playfully, "Scare me will you?" Patches set her shrew down and stuck her tongue out before grabbing her shrew again and racing home.

They made it back right as Flower was starting to come out of the den. Patches wasn't able to stop in time and ran head long into her. Wood stopped just before tumbling on top of them. "Sorry, "Patches said quietly. Flower just smiled and cuffed her around the ears before continuing on. Patches watched her go then continued into the den.

Branch was standing there with an agitated expression. "I told you to be back before sunhigh,"he said his piecing green gaze boring into Patches. Patches looked to her paws before saying, "I know father but I got sidetracked. I met an old friend out in the field." Branch just shook his head and said, "Just do better next time and since I know you're gonna go out again be back before sunset." She nodded and took off out of the den.

She had walked around for a while before realizing she was in a pine forest. She smelled a rabbit and crouched. She began to sneak up on it. But when she was at least a foxlength away from it she smelled an odd scent. She ignored it and kept going. She was finally close enough to pounce. But when she was in mid-flight a muscular form knocked her to the ground.

She unsheathed her claws and scratched her opponents face. Just then she felt a searing pain in her shoulder. She yowled in pain then kicked as hard as she could with her hind legs. Her attacker was sent to the ground and Patches quickly stood up. She finally got a good look at the other cat. It was a golden she-cat with amber eyes.

"You're pretty strong, "the golden she-cat said to her. Patches looked at her before saying, "Thanks, you to. " They stared at each other for a while until Patches looked up and saw it was almost sun set. "I gotta go. Oh and by the way my name is Patches, "She said to the golden she-cat. "Sunpaw,"The she-cat said simply. Patches nodded and raced back the way she came.

She made it back to the den right before sun set. She padded into the den panting. Everyone was splitting the fresh-kill when she walked in. She sat down in between Flower and Eagle. As he was passing out everyone's share Branch asked Patches, "So how was your hunting?" It was such a simple question but Patches just didn't know what to say. "It was fine but I met this cat with a weird name," She finally said. "Define weird, "Her father said. Patches thought for a moment before she said, "Well, her name was Sunpaw." Branch froze for a second before asking, "Where were you when you met this cat?" "In a pine forest that was all marshy, "Patches responded. Her father began to bristle. "Never go there again, "He said before stalking to his nest and laying down.

Patches finished eating her share before padding to her nest as well. She lay there for a while thinking about what her father said. Why doesn't he want me there? Is there something bad in the forest? But Sunpaw seemed nice. It's settled then I'm meeting her again.
