Hello my friends and fellow fanfictioners! Since I have nothing else to do I decided to update(YAAAAAY)! Now let's get this party started!
I do not own Warrior Cats
Chapter 2
Wanderkit crept timidly into the elders den, her brothers and sister coming in behind her. "Ah, hello little kits? What brings you into the Elder's den?" Asked a gray dappled she-cat "Kits? Where?" Asked a blue-gray she-cat with white paws hobbling forward "Oh you're Whitemist's kits!" The she-cat said happily "Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Asked Firekit "No one does kit, Larkheart here is your mother's mother." Said the other she-cat "I'm Dappleheart by the way." The she-cat added. Wanderkit nodded mutely and gazed curiously at Larkheart.
"Can you tell us stories about mother?" Asked Moonkit curiously "Well, of course I can" meowed Larkheart sitting down and licking her paw before drawing it over her ear "I remember when your mother was just a few moons old that she convinced all the kits in the nursery that it was okay to go outside the camp and explore. They all got lost and Shadeclan found them on their territory. Owlstar himself escorted them back!"
"You should tell them a different story, that one was pretty boring." mewed a white tom with black splotches. "Like what Birchheart?" Asked Larkheart archly "Like how the clans began! It's important history!" Mews Birchheart then settles down. "Many moons ago in a forest wild and untamed there was a group of cats bound by no codes or boundaries, they fought constantly and many cats died until one day the spirit's of their ancestors spoke and the message was clear: Unite or Die. Thus began the clans of cats; Stormclan for the fierce and the brave, Moorclan For the swift and loyal, Waterclan for the clever and strong, and finally Shadeclan for the wily and proud. Together they followed the prophecies and lived by the code..." Meowed Birchheart when he finished he looked at the kits "That is the story of how the clans began." He mewed before getting up again and stretching. "I would like something from the fresh-kill pile does anyone care to join me?" He asked. Larkheart and Dappleheart rose to their paws and followed him out.
Casperkit led them out of the den "That was a great story!" He burst out "I wonder what it was like to be in no clans." Wanderkit wondered aloud "Who cares, Stormclan is the best clan anyway!" Meowed Firekit
"Besides Birchheart said that they fought all the time." Put in Moonkit quietly. Wanderkit turned to look at the trees beyond the barrier. "Still..." She turned back to empty space. They must have gone back to the nursery. She thought to herself before turning and bounding to the nursery.
-a few weeks later-
Wanderkit sat staring out at the forest. I wonder what it's like out there. She wondered and then looked around sneakily. Yesterday Larkheart had secretly revealed A place to get out of the clan by the medicine cats den. Wanderkit liked Plumwhisker, she was nice whenever Wanderkit turned to her Wanderkit would catch her studying her. But none of the other kits noticed except for perhaps Moonkit who always seemed to catch all the details, this was because Moonkit liked Plumwhisker very much and spent most of her time in the medicine cat den learning about herbs.
Wanderkit crept quietly to the medicine cats den and perked her ears "What's this herb Plumwhisker?" Moonkit was asking "That's dock it soothes scratches I'm taking some to Birchheart because he scratched his paws wandering in the forest today." Plumwhisker answered before appearing at the entrance. "You can come with me if you'd like." She said around the herbs in her jaws. Then Moonkit appeared "Yes please!" She mewed happily before scampering alongside Plumwhisker.
Wanderkit started creeping towards the back of the den and stopped and reached the barrier. She scanned the brambles for some sign of a hole but saw nothing. Just when she was turning to leave she saw it. Where the medicine cat den met the barrier was a small hole big enough for a kit. Looking cautiously behind her she began squeezing herself through it.
When she finally reached the outside she took a moment to gaze about herself in awe. The tree's towered above her, their leaves were leafy green. The grass was soft and tall. Wanderkit wandered for a bit while looking about her.
She had been wandering for a while when she came across a weird stench. The forest of birches, oaks, redwoods, ash trees, various pines turned abruptly into an evergreen forest. Could this be the Shadeclan border? Sunblaze had described where the borders were and the specific characteristics of them in painstaking detail. If Wanderkit remembered correctly, Shadeclan was full of evergreen tree's of all sorts. What's it like to be a Shadeclan cat? wondered Wanderkit to herself when all of a sudden she heard paw steps. Franticly she hid under a bush and tried to breathe quietly and stay still which was hard considering there was a thorn poking her side.
The paw steps slowed and then appeared in Wanderkit's vision. The paw steps paused, "I know you're there! Come out so I can see you!" A voice hissed Wanderkit gulped and crept forward slowly and pulled herself out from under the bush. "Hi," she meowed nervously looking up at a young golden she-cat with white specks around her eyes.
The she-cat sat back on her haunches "You're a kit, and a Stormclan kit no less, what are you doing out in the forest? What's your name?" The she-cat asked "I'm Wanderkit and I wanted to explore, what are you doing on Stormclan territory?" Answered Wanderkit summoning her courage. The she-cat stared at Wanderkit and then started laughing. "I should be asking you that little wanderer!" She mewed "Your the one who crossed the border!" The she-cat said gesturing with her tail at an ash tree several fox-lengths away. "I'm Everpaw by the way, now follow me I'm taking to my camp!" The she-cat meowed cheerfully. "No! Please don't I'll go back!" Pleaded Wanderkit creeping backwards. Finally she made it back over the border, with Everpaw waiting on the other side. "Oh, well I guess I can't take you now." Said Everpaw in mock shame. She sat and licked her paw.
"Everpaw?" "What?" "What's it like to be a Shadeclan cat?" Wanderkit asked quietly. "Well, I don't think it's any different from your way of life but... It's fun and I wouldn't change it for the world. Sometimes when the apprentices and their mentor's have free time on their paws we having hunting and climbing competitions. Elders sometimes come help and hunt and critique fighting moves, and if the kits are lucky sometimes the queens will take the kits outside the camp by the entrance." Everpaw mewed dreamily getting lost in her own world before snapping back to reality. "I've got to go now, I was supposed to be hunting, you better not tell any of your clan mates about this and I won't tell my clan about you." She need before getting to her paws "It was nice meeting you! But you should stay inside your camp walls the forest is a bit to big for you yet." Everpaw meowed before bounding away. As Wanderkit followed her scent back to camp she became lost in her thoughts. Next time I'll find the Moorclan border! She thought as she crawled back through the hole and silently went to the nursery. "Thank goodness you came! Where have you been?!" asked Whitemist nosing Wanderkit's pelt, checking for injuries. "I'm fine, I was just playing by myself!" Mewed Wanderkit loudly before yawning and curling up against her mother. I can't wait for tomorrow!
