In ThunderClan camp, Waterpaw (actually Charmpaw), slept in the clearing. Her paws rested underneath her, and the gauge over her eye sparkled red.
"Waterpaw?" a voice mewed.
Charmpaw opened one eye. "What." she meowed stubbornly.
It was Powerpaw. He looked like he was in some sort of pain. "I-I have a bellyache. I can't find Windfur… so can you help?" He winced.
"Hmph." Charmpaw stood up. She shook her fur. "Lie down." she spat crossly.
"Uh…ok." Powerpaw seemed surprised of her tone of speak, but he didn't question her.
As he lay down, Charmpaw leapt onto him. She bared her teeth and growled.
"Wha-" Powerpaw couldn't say anymore. Charmpaw was beginning to choke him.
Charmpaw pressed her paw down harder, and harder, all the fury hidden in her eyes revealed now. Then, all at once, it stopped. She began to feel dizzy and spots invaded her vision.
Powerpaw felt her paw lighten. He gaped, trying to catch his breath. He turned around. What he saw made him rush upwards to his paws.
Charmpaw fainted.
"Waterpaw!" Powerpaw shouted in alarm.
The body didn't move, but the gauge above her eye seemed to fade a little. Just a little.
Wave rested her tired limbs on the Twoleg's lap. The Twoleg wouldn't stop petting her; feeding her.
The roar of bees overhead made Wave suddenly alert. The bees! She screamed in her mind. All her Tribe instincts were now alert. She had to get back!
The Twoleg felt her muscles tighten, so it began to rub her back.
Wave's urge was softening again. How does it do that? Wave hissed in her mind. Her limbs relaxed. Her mind began to reel into a peaceful world, and a purr began to rumble from her throat.
The Twoleg seemed pleased to hear this. It rubbed some more behind the ears as well.
The bees roared louder as they neared the transparent square-shaped covering. Louder still. Wave became alert once more. She stood to her paws.
The Twoleg whispered something softly to her. She pushed down towards her rump to make her sit down again.
Wave felt anger boil within her.
She couldn't take this anymore! She sped out towards the currently agape covering, and slipped through. She heard the Twoleg cry to her, and as the door bolted open, she began to speed up.
But… where was the ThunderClan camp?
