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 tunnel that lead into IceClan's territory.
I stumbled into the camp, I was exausted but I needed to make it back to LightningClan before sunhigh.
I saw some IceClan cats approach me but my paws collapsed underneath of me and everything went black. I awoke to the worried face an unfamiliar cat. It definitely wasn't Leafpool, I know that for sure.
This cat had icy blue eyes and a silvery-blue pelt. She must be IceClan's medicine cat if I were to guess, and my guess was apparently correct.
"Hay, Snowleaf? Is the kit okay?" The now named Bluepool looked up to see a sleek, she-cat with black and white fur and worried amber eyes.
"She'll be fine after a few days of rest," Snowleaf mewed, looking back down at me, before she turned back to her apprentice. "Wolfpaw, could you get me some poppie seeds and something for this young kit to eat? She looks like she hasn't eaten in days." Snowleaf meowed, and Wolfpaw nodded and ran off to get the requested items.
"So, your name's Snowleaf?" I asked, and the silvery-blue she-cat nodded and looked me over with worried icy blue eyes. "I'm IceClan's medicine cat, and Wolfpaw is my apprentice. What is your name?" Snowleaf asked, and I was reminded of how I was the age to become an apprentice but because me and Brightkit had snuck out of camp, we were still kits.
"My name is Cinderkit, it's nice to meet you, Snowleaf. I want to become a medicine cat too! Me and Brightkit both do." I said, and Snowleaf smiles warmly at me. It was then that Wolfpaw returned with the poppy seeds and a mouse for me to eat.
"Hmmm... This is strange. Hay, Snowleaf? This kit smells faintly of IceClan, but I've never seen her before." Wolfpaw remarked, and Snowleaf gave a thoughtful hmm sound.
"I'm from LightningClan," I say, and Snowleaf and Wolfpaw 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, Iceleap, that my biological mother's name was Nightflame." I said, and Snowleaf's eyes widened in realization.
"You're Nightflame's kit?" Snowleaf asked, and I nodded, I was a bit confused at the way Snowleaf was acting.
"Oh my StarClan! You are an IceClan kit! Your mother was an IceClan warrior but she was killed by a monster on the thunderpath about six moons ago." Snowleaf explained, and my stomach tightened into knots as I gulped and stared up at Snowleaf and Wolfpaw with nervous and wide eyes.
