Splashheart awoke in the middle of the night in a weird shiny thing. She started to panic and ran straight into a thing made out of metal sticks. "Oww!" she mewed. Splashheart realized she was in a cage. She remembered seeing some Twolegs put some LakeClan warriors in cages back in the forest. Splashheart thought with a pang if she would ever go back to the forest. She started to walk around in her small cage. All that was in there was a small piece of a soft thing, kind of like moss, some water, food that looked like rabbit droppings, and a small blue ball. Splashheart sat down and got a drink. The water tasted horrible, but she was so thirsty. She had a hard time swallowing the water.

"It's not that bad if you get used to it," mewed a cat.

Splashheart spun around to see a fat ginger tom, lying in some type of Twoleg thing. "Hey," Splashheart mewed, "How did you get out?"

"Get out?" the cat mewed in confusion.

Great StarClan this cat is stupid. Splashheart thought. Then again, he is a kittypet. "How did you get out of a cage?" Splashheart asked.

"Oh," the ginger tom mewed, "I was never put in a cage."

Splashheart cocked her head, "Then why are you here?"

"Because I'm like the veterinarian cat," the tom mewed, "or vet cat for short."

Splashheart's head started to spin, "What's a vet?"

"Well for heaven's sake!" the tom sighed, "You know nothing about people do you?"

Splashheart shook her head.

"Do you know what people are?" the tom asked.

"Are they Twolegs?" Splashheart murmured.

"Well, I guess you could call them that," the tom mewed. "Oh and a veterinarian or vet is the place you're in right now." The tom licked his paws.

Splashheart started to look around. She realized she wasn't the only cat in these cages. "Have there been many forest cats here?" Splashheart mewed.

The ginger tom nodded, "A couple."

"Where are they?" Splashheart asked.

"Well, some of them have been taken by people…err, I mean Twolegs, to be adopted," the tom answered.

"Adopted means that the Twolegs took them to live with them, right?" Splashheart mewed.

The tom nodded, "Bingo, sista."

"So does the vet keep all cats that haven't been adopted in cages?" Splashheart asked.

The tom shook his head, "No," the tom stood up and pointed his tail to a cage above Splashheart's cage. "I know you can't see what I'm pointing to, but it's a cage," the tom mewed.

"Ok?" Splashheart mewed, confused.

"Well, this cage is a weird one. It's called, Cage Number One, and when a cat is put in there, the next day a Twoleg will come and get it a bring it into a special room," the tom lied back down. "I don't know what the Twoleg does to the cat, but I never see the cat again though."

Splashheart felt sick to her stomach, whatever the Twoleg does to the cat must not be good. "What cage am I in?" Splashheart dared to say that.

"You're lucky you're in Cage Number Twenty, though you won't be there for long," the tom mewed, "But you look young, and Twolegs love young cats better than old ones."

Splashheart started to pace around her cage in fear. What if the Twolegs put her in Cage Number One tomorrow? She would never see her Clan, her mother, or her sister again. Wait a second." Splashheart thought. "My sister came help me!" Splashheart yelled.

"Shh!" a cat hissed from a cage.

"Be quiet!" another cat sneered.

Splashheart flatten her ears, "Sorry!" she apologized.

The tom cocked his head, "What about your sister?" he whispered.

"Well, my sister and I have this very special connection and I might be able to talk with her in a dream tonight!" Splashheart whispered in happiness.

The tom blinked in confusion, but nodded anyway. "By the way, what's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Splashheart," the blue-and-white she-cat mewed.

"Buster," the ginger tom mewed.

"And my name is Ravenclaw, and I insist we all go to sleep!" a cat snapped.

"Ravenclaw," Splashheart mewed. "Are you the same Ravenclaw from DarkClan?" Splashheart asked.

"Yes," Ravenclaw hissed softly. "I'm guessing you're Rockstar's daughter?"

"Yes," Splashheart mewed.

"Great, now the Twolegs are capturing RockClan warriors," Ravenclaw hissed in annoyance. "BrambleClan is next I bet."

"Probably," Splashheart sighed.

Splashheart heard Ravenclaw plop down in his bed, "Let's go to sleep for now," he mumbled. "I'm almost in Cage Number One," Ravenclaw sighed, "Featherheart was in Cage Number One today, who knows what the Twolegs did to her."

Splashheart gasped, Featherheart was LakeClan's deputy. "We have to make a plan tomorrow!" Splashheart whispered, loudly. "What cage number are you in Ravenclaw?"

"Cage Number Three," Ravenclaw mewed. "Tomorrow, the Twolegs will put me in Cage Number Two."

"We are defiantly going to make a plan tomorrow," Splashheart mewed.

"And hope that StarClan is with us," Ravenclaw mumbled.

"And I'll do whatever I can to help," Buster mewed. He then gave a huge yawn and went back to sleep.

Splashheart yawn too and went to sleep also. She prayed to StarClan to hopefully help them tomorrow. Then she fell asleep.

Splashheart awoke in her dream in a dark shadowy place. She gulped in fear as she started to walk around. "Midnightgaze?" she mewed.

"Midnightgaze is too far away to dream with you," a cat hissed.

Splashheart jumped and realize the voice was Mistyleaf's. "What do you want?" Splashheart growled.

"I said I would come to you again if my word was true," Mistyleaf mewed. "And look, it did."

Splashheart remembered Midnightgaze's kits with a pang. "Ok…so your word was true, but I won't believe what you have to say now!" Splashheart sneered.

Mistyleaf snorted, "You're very stubborn."

"So?" Splashheart growled.

"Well, once again I do have more word about your future," Mistyleaf mewed, while licking her paw.

"Ok, what is it?" Splashheart asked.

"One that is very close to you will die very soon," Mistyleaf smirked.

Splashheart opened her mouth to protest, but when she did, Mistyleaf vanished.

"Splashheart…wake up!"

"Wake up, Splashheart!"

Splashheart awoke back in her shiny cage to see Buster on the other side of the metal sticks, blocking her exit out of the cage. "What Buster?" Splashheart murmured.

"The people, I mean Twolegs will be here soon and they will move you to Cage Number Nineteen," he mewed. "I want you to stay calm and not cause any fight."

"What? How can I stay calm if they're going to make me go one step closer to my death?" Splashheart hissed.

"You still have eighteen more days 'til you're at Cage Number One," he mewed. "The reason why I don't want you to go crazy is cause' I don't want the Twolegs to hurt you."

"What about Ravenclaw?" Splashheart asked. "He has only one more day with us."

Splashheart heard Ravenclaw stir in his cage. "I've already made a plan," he smirked, "and I need Buster to help us."

Buster nodded, "What is it?"

Ravenclaw then told Splashheart and Buster what they needed to do. Once Ravenclaw was done telling them the plan, they both nodded.

"If you have to hurt the Twolegs, please don't hurt them too bad," Buster fretted.

Splashheart nodded, "Hopefully we won't have too, but if we do, then we won't hurt them bad," Splashheart mewed.

Ravenclaw snorted.

Splashheart eyed Ravenclaw, "Right, Ravenclaw?" she lightly growled.

Ravenclaw rolled his eyes, "Ok, whatever."

"Good," Buster mewed.

Just then, the Twolegs started to walk in.

"Quick Buster," Splashheart mewed, "that's your cue!"

"Oh," Buster mewed. Then he went over to the Twolegs pretending to be hurt. The Twolegs were then making weird sounds and picked Buster up.

Ravenclaw smirked, "Good job, Buster," he murmured. "Now all we need to do is wait on a Twoleg to come over here, and let us out," he mewed. "Now, once we get out Splashheart, we need to be quick cause the Twolegs that are dealing with Buster will come over to us once their done with him."

"Ok," Splashheart mewed, while waiting for a Twoleg to come over. After a few minutes, Splashheart started to get worried that a Twoleg wouldn't come. Then after a few seconds, a Twoleg started to make her way to them.

"The Twoleg should start with your cage first," Ravenclaw mewed, "You know what to do."

"Yes," Splashheart mewed.

"Why do you want leave this place so bad?" a brown tabby tom across Splashheart's cage mewed.

"Yeah," another cat mewed, above Splashheart's cage. "This place is awesome! You get free food, free water, free-"

"This place is horrible!" Ravenclaw hissed. "Now both of you shut up, and let us do our own thing!"

The two cats grunted and went back to sleep.

"Stupid kittypets," Ravenclaw muttered.

Splashheart nodded.

"Now get in position Splashheart," Ravenclaw mewed.

Splashheart did so and sat down and acted like nothing was happening. The Twoleg made a cooing noise, and picked Splashheart up.

"Now," Ravenclaw whispered.

Splashheart then started to scramble around in the Twoleg's pink arms. The Twoleg tried to keep hold of her, but was unsuccessful. Splashheart then ran to the door and started to push it. Come on you stupid door! She thought. OPEN! Splashheart then heard the female Twoleg that let her out of the cage, yell. "No!" Splashheart fretted. "StarClan, please don't let any Twolegs get me!" she mewed. Then two male Twolegs came over from across the hall. One of the Twolegs, started to grab Splashheart by the scruff, while the other one made sure she wouldn't get out of his grasp. "Let go!" Splashheart growled. They started to bring her back to the cages. "No!" Splashheart yowled.

"Splashheart," Ravenclaw mewed, "Attack them!"

Splashheart then tried to claw them, though the way the Twoleg held her was making it difficult. "I can't Ravenclaw!" she mewed. "He's holding me weird!"

Ravenclaw hissed in annoyance. Then he started to bang against his cage. All the other cats in their cages started to stir.

"What's going on out there?" a cat yelled.

"It's just those stupid forest cats again!" another yelled.

"SHUT UP!" Ravenclaw yowled, hitting the cage so hard, that it fell out of the wall.

Most of the cats gasped, while others were padding up to the edge of their cages, to see what had happened.

The Twolegs gasped too and went over to Ravenclaw.

Splashheart prayed to StarClan that Ravenclaw was ok, hoping that StarClan got the message. Just then, Ravenclaw exploded out of his cage, and darted to the Twoleg that was holding Splashheart. He clawed the Twoleg in the leg. The Twoleg screeched and threw Splashheart across the room. Splashheart hit her head against a wall. She gasped with pain. Just then, Ravenclaw padded up to her.

"You ok?" he mewed.

Splashheart nodded, "Yes."

"Then let's get going," he mewed, while pushing Splashheart up to her feet.

They both ran as fast as they could to the main door that led out of the vet. Both of them then tried very hard to push the door down.

"Ravenclaw," Splashheart mewed, while pushing the door, "I don't think this'll work."

Ravenclaw said nothing and continued to push the door. By then, the Twolegs were almost there.

"Ravenclaw," Splashheart mewed, worried.

Suddenly, Buster slid in front of them, from across the hall. "Follow me!" he yelled, while going through a flap in the door.

Splashheart and Ravenclaw then followed Buster out the flap, and into the open world.

"Finally, out!" Ravenclaw mewed.

"Not for long," Buster mewed, "look!"

Both Ravenclaw and Splashheart turned around and saw the Twolegs open the door.

Splashheart franticly looked for a tree they could climb in. Though there wasn't any.

"Follow me, again!" Buster repeated.

Splashheart and Ravenclaw once again followed Buster. Buster took them around some really weird fences, with very weird animals inside of them. Splashheart didn't stop to look because the Twolegs started to run after them again. For StarClan's sake! Splashheart thought. These mouse-brained Twolegs don't know when to give up, do they? She thought, angered. The three cats then went under thick under growth. Splashheart heard the Twolegs yell in annoyance. She smirked. Serves you right! She thought.

"Here," Buster panted, while pointing his tail to a tunnel. "This tunnel leads to a road. Once you cross it, you'll be back in the forest,"

Splashheart didn't know what a road was, but judging on the scent from here, it was probably a thunderpath.

"Hurry up and go through," he mewed. "I've seen a couple of Twolegs here before."

Splashheart dipped her head, "Thanks for all that you have done!"

"Yeah, thanks!" Ravenclaw mewed.

"Aw shucks guys," Buster mewed, "I hope we get to meet again in the future!"

Splashheart just smiled, and Ravenclaw dipped his head. Then both of them walked in the tunnel. It was very dark at first, and it stunk very badly. Finally, they reached to the other side. There was a thunderpath, though it wasn't hard crossing. When Splashheart saw the forest, her heart skipped a beat. She bounded down the hill they were on, nearly falling, and ran start in the forest. Almost at once she smelled a mouse. She then got into a hunters crouch and pounce on it. She killed it with one swift blow to its neck. She gave thanks to StarClan for it and then she padded over to Ravenclaw. "What some real food?" she asked him.

He looked at her with troublesome eyes.

She dropped the mouse, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Splashheart," he mewed, "This isn't our forest."

"How do you know?" she protested.

"Look around!" he hissed, "The trees are too big, there are too many water streams, and prey is everywhere!" he growled, "Look!"

Splashheart saw some rabbits behind a tree, looking at them. Splashheart's mouth gapped. If a rabbit ever saw a cat in their forest, they would hop away with no hesitation. She then realized that Ravenclaw was right. "What are we going to do?" she asked, worried.

Ravenclaw sighed, "Go and find them, I guess."

Splashheart nodded, than she sighed. This was going to be a long journey…
