Claws, Teeth, And Fur

I clawed at the Twoleg as he put me down and that was my chance for escape so I took it and bolted. They gave chase and I ran faster.

My heart pounds in my chest. My breathing is heavy. My paws are moving quicker than a lightning bolt. But they're still gaining on me. Those spindly furless legs. Give me the major creeps.

As I dived and weaved my way under bushes and trees, the Twolegs kept chasing me. I froze and came to a screeching hault when I came to the edge of the Thunderpath.

I looked back over my shoulder, I hissed, turned and dove into the road. I rolled and just missed getting hit by the Monster by the skin of my teeth.

Once I was safely on the other side of the Thunderpath, I took deep gasps of breath, my chest heaving and my paws aching, as I ran through the gorse tunnel that lead into LightningClan's territory.

I stumbled into the camp, I was exausted but I needed to make it back to PineClan before sunhigh.

I saw some LightningClan cats approach me but my paws collapsed underneath of me and everything went black. I awoke to the worried face of an unfamiliar cat. It definitely wasn't Nightshade, I know that for sure.

This cat has icy blue eyes and a silvery-blue pelt. She must be LightningClan's medicine cat if I were to guess, and my guess was apparently correct.

"Hay, Silverleaf? Is the kit okay?" The now named Silverleaf looked up to see a sleek black and shite she-cat with white paws and worried amber eyes.

"She'll be fine after a few days of rest." Silverleaf mewed, looking back down at me, before she turned back to her apprentice. "Lightningpaw, could you get me some poppie seeds and something for this young kit to eat? She looks like she hasn't eaten in days." Silverleaf meowed, and Lightningpaw nodded and ran off to get the requested items.

"So, your name's Silverleaf?" I asked, and the silvery-blue she-cat nodded and looked me over with worried icy blue eyes.

"I'm LightningClan's medicine cat, and Lightningpaw is my apprentice." Silverleaf mewed, smiling warmly down at me. Then after a few moments of silence, she spike up once more. "What's your name, young one?" Silverleaf asked, and I was reminded of how I was the age to become an apprentice but because me and Willowkit had snuck out of camp, we were still kits.

"My name is Wildkit. It's nice to meet you, Silverleaf." I say, smiling shyly up at LightningClan's medicine cat as I continued speaking, "I want to become a medicine cat too, me and Willowkit both do." I said happily and Silverleaf smiles warmly at me. It was then that Lightningpaw returned with the poppy seeds and a mouse for me to eat.

"Hmmm... This is very strange." Lightningpaw meowed, as she stared down at me from where she was removing sticks and thorns from my fur. "Hay, Silverleaf? This kit smells faintly of LightningClan, but I've never seen her before." Lightningpaw remarked, and Silverleaf gave a thoughtful hmm sound, as she watched her apprentice work.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that little detail." I said with a sheepish grin on my face. Then after a short pause, I continued, "I'm from PineClan." I say. Silverleaf and Lightningpaw both stare at me in shock. I felt my ears grow hot as I felt their stares burning through my pelt.

"I was told by my mother, Silverlily, that my biological mother's name was Hayberry." I told the two LightningClan cats. Silverleaf's eyes widened in realization and she stared at me for what felt like moons.

"So your Hayberry's kit?" Silverleaf asked me and I nodded my head. I was a bit confused about the way Silverleaf was acting.

"Oh, my StarClan! You are a LightningClan kit!" Silverleaf exclaimed, her eyes brightening as she continued talking about my birth mother. "Your mother was a LightningClan warrior but she was killed by a Monster on the Thunderpath about six moons ago. Witch I asume you already know, am I right? She asked, and I slowly nodded my head as I let the new information sink in. As Silverleaf comtimued to explain more about my birth mother, I felt my stomach begin to tighten into knots, as I gulped and stared up at Silverleaf and Lightningpaw with nervous and wide neon yellow eyes.
