Teo looked down, seeing how steep the hill was and how jagged the rocks had welcomed many cats that dare cross the river. Sage walked up to Teo and looked down also. "How do they cross?" Teo thought out loud. He looked across at Sage, who looked confused himself. He turned to IvoryStar, who meowed, "There used to be a bridge here, but now we use the lower route that continues through another tunnel under the the river and through the steep hill, and yes I know, its confusing, but its the way we live now,...AshClan cats have crossed that river between this hill here and the other one on the opposite bank," Teo nodded. Sage then asked, "Can...we cross this bank to the next without taking a great risk?" "Maybe, but the chanses of surviving the fall would be taking a death penalty," IvoryStar replied. He looked down the hill and then found a dead tree. "I have a better idea," He meowed. He padded back into the tunnel and within an our a dog came out. "This is KeyStone," IvoryStar meowed, winking at KeyStone. KeyStone smiled. He ran toward the tree, slammed his shoulder into it, forcing the wimpy rotos to rip out of the soft, spongey earth. The tree thundered as it plundered into the opposite back's softer dirt. "Thanks IvoryStar!" Teo yowled as he crossed to the opposite bank. IvoryStar smiled and led KeyStone into EmberClan's camp. "He's a Collie, not a cat!" Sage exclaimed as he got off the 'bridge' KeyStone knocked down for them. Teo's stomach rumbled, signifying that he was positivly starving. Teo hadn't known too much about the wild cats and how or where Territory marks were. Sage had the better of Teo and Sage happened to find a pile of fresh kill that hadn't been unburied by a Warrior. Nobody came to claim the fresh kill, so Teo and Sage ate away. When Sage got up, he looked around, not until a huge tom with blood stained paws bowled him over. Teo ran into one- Teo was the one with the war skills. Teo bit into the neck of his opponent as hard as he could until he heard a faint snap, but the tom we was fighting didn't give up, struggling to keep upright. Teo crouched to the ground and speedily ran under his opponent, biting his right foreleg and scoring his enemy with his hind legs. The tom soom fell over withing minutes of breathing heavily. Then a fiery looking she-cat ran into Sage. Sage fell over at that exact second. Teo ran up and unsheathed his claws. He leapt, scrathcing the she-cat's back. She made a blood-curdling cry as she whipped around, which was a very mental idea becuase she was facing the cliff. "Move, or die!" Teo cunningly meowed. His teeth were beared, claws unsheathed, he really did look forest born. Teo leapt but layed down after IvoryStar jumped between them. "What the crap was that for!" IovryStar exclaimed. Teo looked at him and turned away. Sage walked up and bowed his head. "They took an assualt on us, IvoryStar," IvoryStar nodded as he took off, beckoning the leaders-not the one facing the cliff- to come with him into the lower route to speak. Teo and Sage continued to walk with each other, but a voice called out to them. "Help me! C'mon guys, help me!" Teo turned and asked, "Were you part of the group that attacked us five minutes ago? " "WE Can't trust him, Teo," Sage meowed. "Yes, but you can trust me, I don't know what to do or why I'm doing it," The tom mewed. Teo turned to Sage and said," Should we let him join us? We could start a Clan, those other Cats might destroy us all if we're not on guard," Sage nodded and replied, "True, but what will happen if he betrays us-" "I won't betray you!" The tom yowled. "What's your name?" Teo asked. "SootFang, yes, SootFang, and I'm proud of it," SootFang replied. Teo and Sage looked at SootFang and nodded at him. "Thank you so much," SootFang meowed. "Now, what's both your names?" "Teo, and Sage," Teo meowed. "Great," SootFang replied. SootFang gave Teo and Sage a veiw of all the Clans and where the Territory was. "Thanks," Teo meowed, looking at SnowClan's camp. "SnowClan has the worst conditions in Summer, Scorching heat, -40 below Winters, leafy falls which cover up the scent markings, and in Spring time, floods. It's tragic down there, the Camp just got repaired and now it's tring to rebuild. In fact, no one's even alive. They're all dead down there with the conditions, elders die first, then kits, queens, warriors, deputy, and the leader with even nine lives can't live through all that kind of stuff," Sage padded toward the slopping hill and looked up. There was a huge mountian, which at the peak te sun toward over everything. "That's LightClan's camp, set on top of the Dayashvi Mountian ranges. Pretty sunny place if you know what I mean," SootFang meowed. He ran ahead, signifying that he would lead for today. After that day, SootFang found an ditched clearing that appeared to be a Clan camp. There wasa Highrock in the center, Warrior's den and etc. Teo and Sage looked at each other. SootFang found the leader's den somewhere over by the med. Cat's den. Teo and Sage gladly slept in the Warrior's den with SootFang, and after many moons, this camp would be filled.
