Chapter 7
Fluffytail's POV
Fluffytail flicked her eyes open.
For days since she left ThunderClan, Fluffytail experienced frightening dreams that made her long for the protection of a Clan to comfort her.
But there was no way that she was going back, having to look at Rainwhisker every day, being banished to have to know that she lost.
Fluffytail stood up and stretched. It had been just two days since she left, and she longed for someone to be her companion. The loneliness was killing her.
Then, a foreign scent of a cat she did not know entered Fluffytail's nose.
A tom with dark gold fur walked up three fox lengths away from her. His dark amber eyes glistened with curiosity.
He took a step towards her. "Hello."
Fluffytail sat up in surprise. His voice was slightly soft and gentle, but there was a gruff edge to it that made Fluffytail think that he had suffered in his past. "H-hi." She stammered.
He nodded. "Where are you headed?"
"You see the mountains?" Fluffytail asked.
He nodded again.
"I came from the east, and I'm headed the opposite direction." Fluffytail looked at the tom. "And you?"
"I'm headed almost the same way you are." He mewed, looking delighted. "Just a little bit more to the right, someone I knew once told me there was this great place where the sun dies in the sea…….."
Fluffytail
could not hide her surprise. "The sun-drown place?"
"Why—um,
yes." He looked surprised. "Do you know about that
place?"
Fluffytail nodded. "It has okay prey and there are
stones by the shore where you can fall in so easily. Oh, and there is
a badger there named Midnight."
The tom shuddered. "I hate badgers."
"Midnight is a good badger; she speaks cat, badger, fox and rabbit." Fluffytail pointed out.
"Well, I suppose that idea is shot." He meowed to himself. "I think that I might accompany you—if that's okay."
"Oh, believe me, its okay." Fluffytail mewed.
The tom looked thrilled. "I was so lonely!"
"I know what you mean!" Fluffytail mewed. "I almost went back to my old home because I couldn't take the silence."
He nodded. "By the way—my name's Jasper."
"Fluffytail." She mewed.
"Hi Fluffytail"
"Hi, Jasper."
Jasper looked at Fluffytail with interest. "Excuse me, but why are you called Fluffytail? Your housefolk must be out of whack."
"I don't have twolegs." Flufytail mewed.
"You don't have what?" Jasper hissed, shocked.
"I don't have anyone to give me food, nobody to keep me warm at night. My Clan helps me with that." Fluffytail meowed.
Jasper looked at Fluffytail. "Is it true? That there once were some wild cats living past those mountains?"
"Yes, It's true." Fluffytail mewed. "We took the great journey to come to where I was living before I left. My parents met on that journey. There are Four Clans: ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan and WindClan"
Jasper
let that hanging for a few heartbeats and then he whispered. "Um,
what's it like to be in a Clan? What is your story?"
Fluffytail
let out a long breath. "Clan life is good, you can go on patrols to
make sure the other Clans aren't trying to take your territory, you
can hunt for prey when the light of the sun is only hinted in the
light dapples on the leaves……" she went on, explaining
everything about Clan life. She told him about her Clanmates, about
her sisters, about the death of Owlstorm, and finally, about why she
left ThunderClan.
When she was done, Jasper asked more questions. "What would my warrior name be?" He asked.
Fluffytail took this time to be creative. "Well, your amber eyes and pelt, and those claws…….I would say you could be called Amberclaw."
"Amberclaw….." Jasper played with the name, then nodded. "I like that name. I think that I'm going to call myself Amberclaw."
"Wait!" Fluffytail mewed quickly. "You have to have a ceremony."
Jasper grinned. "Then give the ceremony."
"It's going to be different than mine because you were never an apprentice and we're not in a Clan." Fluffytail warned.
Jasper nodded, ready for his new name.
Fluffytail
exhaled sharply. "Jasper, do you promise to uphold the warrior
code, to protect our Clan, at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
Jasper mewed, the smile still in his voice.
"Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Jasper, from now on, you will be known as Amberclaw, StarClan honors your inquisitiveness and bravery." Fluffytail was left panting for air. "There, it is done."
Amberclaw gave Fluffytail a lick on the wrong shoulder.
"Now," Fluffytail mewed. "What's your story?"
Amberclaw took a deep breath and started. "I was born with a white kit and a black and ginger cat, my mother was named Princess.
"One day the white kit disappeared, and Princess let our housefolk take me and the black and ginger kit to two housefolk I never saw before.
"One took me and one took The other one, I think her name was Dapple.
"And so then my life was like that, living in my new housefolk's house. If I was sick, they nursed me back. If I was hungry, they would give me food……" Amberclaw trailed off, looking dazed. Then, he seemed to come back. "But then one day, the male turned very ill.
"He died in the next five moons.
"The female twoleg, mad with grief I suppose, got rid of everything that reminded her of him. And, that he took me that fateful day, instead of the other one, so she got rid of me.
"I had to run off, to make myself safe.
"So I ran. And soon I came to a barn where two cats named Ravenpaw and Barley lived. They told me of the sun-drown place and I was fascinated. Then, the next day, I set out to go there.
"I had many adventures while coming here but that's a different." Amberclaw looked at Fluffytail. "That is all"
Fluffytail examined Amberclaw, trying to find scars across his spotless pelt. The only one she found was on his ear; a fierce rip had taken a shred out of it. "Wow," Fluffytail mewed quietly.
Amberclaw looked at the dying sun. "I think that it's better if we get started, that way our scent here will be less……………detected, here."
Fluffytail got up and walked by Amberclaw's side into the moon.
OoOoOo
Fluffytail woke to see Amberclaw staring at her with a mouse in his jaws.
"I caught you food." He muttered.
Fluffytail smiled. "Thanks,"
Amberclaw murmured his welcomes and started washing himself.
Fluffytail bit into the mouse and strength washed over her. She felt ready to fight a million battles.
Amberclaw was looking at her expectantly. "Are you done yet?" he asked.
"Yep." Fluffytail gulped the rest of the mouse and stood up. "Let's go."
Amberclaw turned and looked at the sun, thinking to himself.
"Which way were we headed again?" He asked.
"You can't even remember?" Fluffytail asked, surprised.
Amberclaw shook his head. "All I remembered was being so close to you." He looked down, embarrassed.
Fluffytail decided not to let that end the talking today, from talking to him for a few hours, she already knew that when he said something embarrassing or something that he didn't want to say, he usually stopped talking and brooded the whole day. "We were headed west, remember?"
"Oh, now I remember." Amberclaw shrugged.
"Let's go." Fluffytail mewed.
Amberclaw turned and walked away, and Fluffytail noticed what long and powerful strides he made.
Fluffytail leapt to get beside him and she had to walked faster to keep pace with him.
Amberclaw looked at Fluffytail's struggle to catch up and laughed.
"What?" Fluffytail demanded.
"It seems that I outpace you."
"Really?" Fluffytail asked sarcastically.
Amberclaw looked at Fluffytail. "I started out slightly slow, but since I walked so much I got impatient. So I sped up."
"Then I'm speeding up." Fluffytail mewed defensively.
Amberclaw snickered again.
Fluffytail let out an exasperated sigh. "What now?" she hissed.
"Well," Amberclaw mewed. "I takes a wile to speed up your pace. I mean, it can't just happen overnight."
Fluffytail put her head up high. "I can make my pace faster, I'll just need more time to rest, that's all."
Amberclaw did not even try to hide his amusement this time. "Oh, and every five minuets, will you need a drink of water also?" he glanced at Fluffytail wryly.
"Ha-ha, very funny." Fluffytail meowed darkly.
Amberclaw nodded. "Thank you."
OoOoOo
At about sunhigh, Fluffytail and Amberclaw stopped and started looking for food.
Fluffytail spotted a rabbit big enough for both of them and stalked to it, keeping as little noise as possible.
She stepped forward and a thorn went into her paw. Excruciating pain swelled into her.
The rabbit noticed when Fluffytail cursed quietly. It immediately leaped and so did Fluffytail.
She scratched it hard down the back.
Fluffytail leapt forward one more time, and she bit its neck viciously.
The rabbit went limp in Fluffytail's jaw.
Smiling to herself, Fluffytail carried it back to where Amberclaw promised he would be.
He was waiting for her, eating a sparrow.
"Hey, Amberclaw," Fluffytail greeted.
Amberclaw nodded.
"I got a rabbit." Fluffytail mewed. "We can share."
Amberclaw shook his head. "Nah, I'm full."
"Well, okay then," Fluffytail murmured, acting sad. "I guess that I have to eat the whole rabbit myself."
She bit into it and she finally realized how hungry she was.
It was half gone in six heartbeats.
Fluffytail had almost finished it when she stopped, looking mischievously at Amberclaw, egging him on to try to eat the rest.
Amberclaw sighed, and finished the rabbit.
Then, he looked at Fluffytail. "Okay, so you caught me off guard. Don't hold it against me, okay?"
"Okay then," Fluffytail laughed. "Just don't try to lie to me; I can sometimes tell."
Amberclaw
sighed. "Okay, then. You wanna know the truth?"
"What's
the truth?" Fluffytail asked.
"You've got some rabbit gut on your nose."
Fluffytail
squeaked. "No I don't!"
"Yes you do." Amberclaw
murmured. And then he licked her nose.
"Is it gone?" Fluffytail asked.
Amberclaw licked her again. "Yes, I believe it is gone."
