Oh look, here's chapter two. This chapter will probably be really interestingly written, with Vamp trying to explain what happened with our little friend to cats and make is as understandable as possible to them. Sorry it took so long! The past few days have been rough. But I did finally get this done. So yeah this chapter is for the sole-purpose of explaining the newest character. I found out, I haven't even started chapter three, so I'll probably make that a wolf chapter. Because I really need one.

Jayfeather: Yeah you kinda do. Just like you need to learn to update more often and finish stories.
Dani: Shut up Jayfeather don't be mean to her. As she said, it's been rough.
Jayfeather: Yeah I know.
Me: Thanks Dani.
Dani: No problem. Anyway, we all know you don't own Danny Phantom
Jayfeather: Or Warriors.

"I'm back."

Vamp didn't really know what else to do or say, since she didn't know the exact reaction the clan would have upon her return. Would they let her back in? She was sure they would yet she was unsure at the same time. Her small companion was crouched down, hidden behind her.

She looked to the side and tired ruby eyes met with shocked emerald. He was trying to comprehend what he was seeing. Was what he was seeing real. Getting over his inital shock, Sandpath darted forward and nearly knocked Vamp over in what could only be called a cat version of a hug. Or a glomp. Whichever works.

As the rest of the clan fully realized that they had their clan-mate back, that she was alive, they rushed at her, instantly asking questions and welcoming her back. The smaller cat stayed backed up where she was as this happened. "Silence!" a voice demanded from the back of the group. The cats parted and a white she-cat stepped forward.

Darkcloud approached from behind her leader and sat down. "Welcome back VampVixen" she said.

"Everyone give her some space" Snowstar said. "She's probably tired and in need of a good rest."

Vamp smiled gratefully at the clan leader, who in turn smiled back. She really wasn't in the mood for interrogation at the moment, especially when it would involve most of the clan. At their leader's words, most of the cats reluctantly left her alone for now. "Come on" said the cat who had stayed.

She nodded at Sandpath and began to follow him. As she did so, the smaller cat nervously made herself known. "Who's this?" Sandpath asked with a confused look on his face as he looked at the nervous cat. She looked exactly like VampVixen did. Were they related? VampVixen didn't... did she?

"Oh" Vamp said, having almost forgotten the other cat was there. "She's... she's difficult to explain."

"So she's not a kit of yours?" Sandpath asked. He just wanted to be sure.

"Hey! I'm not a kit!" the small cat instantly said in a defensive tone of voice.

"You can't be anything else" Sandpath replied. "No grown cat is your size."

Vamp had to admit, he had a point. "It's not my fault I'm small" her friend said.

Before Sandpath could reply to that, Vamp said "she's not a kit. Let's find a place to talk. I'll tell you about her."

Sandpath nodded and got up to follow. Before she could, Danny ran up to them. "Vamp I can't believe you're here and alive!"

"Neither can I" Snowstar said as she approached the four cats. She eyed the cat behind Vamp, which she could only identify as a kit, with interest. It wasn't just Snowstar. Danny seemed equally as interested in her.

Knowing that questions were about to be asked, she said "I'm explaining her to Sandpath. I guess you guys can join us." She didn't plan on explaining to everyone, but she really had no choice now.

"Tomorrow" Snowstar said. "For now, you both need to get some rest."

"Yeah that's probably the best idea" Vamp said with a yawn. Looking over at Sandpath, she asked "you can wait till then right?"

"Yeah... I guess you're right" Sandpath replied, looking a little upset he wouldn't get the answers he wanted right away.

With a nod, Vamp stepped away from her friends and ducked into the warriors den. Making her way to the back, she curled up against the wall. It seemed that she fell asleep the moment her eyes shut. Her smaller companion curled up against Vamp while Sandpath lay down in the nest beside the two. He couldn't quite understand who the kit was. She had to be related to VampVixen didn't she? He supposed he would find out in the morning. Eventually, he was able to fall asleep.

In the Morning...

Vamp groaned and opened her eyes a little, with a pissed off yet still tired look on her face. Someone was trying to get her up by shoving her, and she did not want to get up. Realizing there wasn't much strength behind she shrugs, she figured it was either a kit or her friend. Lifting her head up and looking at the culprit confirmed that it was her friend. "What do you want?" she asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Bout time your lazy butt woke up" she said in an equally annoyed tone. "Your friends are waiting for you to get up. The white one- Snowstar was her name right?- asked me to come wake you up." She put her face in Vamp's and shouted "SO WAKE UP!"

"Get out of my face" Vamp growled and pushed the smaller cat away, standing up with a stretch. "Damn you are annoying as hell" she grumbled. Raising her voice to normal, she said "well then, let's go I guess. The two cats made their way to the leader's den, where Snowstar, Darkcloud, Oceanbreeze, Sandpath, and Danny were waiting.

"Bout damn time" Danny said with an amused look on his face.

"You try non-stop travelling for the past month or two then being woken up by a little annoying cat in the early hours of the morning" Vamp hissed.

"You really shouldn't complain. It really could be worse" Danny replied with a shrug.

"Yeah, yeah I know. I've heard it a million times over you don't need to tell me that."

"Anyway" Snowstar said, interrupting the two and getting everyone's attention. "We need to talk about what exactly happened the day Danny came into the camp, telling Sandpath that you had been taken by a two-leg."

"Yeah" Sandpath said. "What exactly did the two-leg want with you?"

"He... well... that's actually a bit difficult to explain" Vamp replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Well try to explain anyway" Snowstar said.

"Well, after he grabbed me and I was unable to get free from his grasp, he carried me to the road and put me into his car. He placed me inside a small trap and locked the opening before I could even start to escape" she started, already beginning to try to choose her words carefully.

"What's a car again?" Oceanbreeze asked, always frustrated when VampVixen and Danny used words he didn't understand.

"A monster" Danny replied, looking at the blue tom. Looking back at Vamp, he said "continue."

"Right then" Vamp said. "Well, I was in the car for a good amount of time before we arrived at his house. At this point, I was confused. And the house looked normal enough."

"So I'm guessing it wasn't normal?" Danny asked.

"Actually, it was" Vamp said. "However, the building behind it was kind of a different story."

"How so?" asked Sandpath.

"It was full of... objects. Devices is a better word. These devices are made by humans for various purposes." Vamp was sure she was confusing the cats in front of her, but she didn't know what other words to say. She could always answer later questions.

"What kinds of purposes would these so-called devices be made for?" Snowstar asked.

"Well each one works differently" Vamp began. "Some are for helping humans to make things easier for them. Some are used to perform various tests on objects and... living things. Some of these tests can be painful" she said.

"Were these painful tests, as you call them, performed on you?" Darkcloud asked.

Trying to block out some of the more painful tests she went through, she replied with a nod. The look on her face told the other cats just how much she didn't want to remember them.

"And just when I thought two-legs couldn't sink any lower" Darkcloud hissed.

"Woah wait just a minute" Danny said, earning confused looks from the other cats. "Why the hell did this dude experiment on you?"

She would have to word that answer correctly if she wanted to keep her previously vampiric form a secret from the clan cats. She couldn't tell them the whole truth. Danny realized how carefully she would have to answer this as well.

"Who knows why two-legs do what they do?" Oceanbreeze said before Vamp could reply.

"Agreed" Vamp said with a nod. The question was very true for both humans and vampires. "But, answering Danny's question, I wasn't sure what his plans were at the time. I did have one or two guesses, but didn't know for sure."

"So did you ever figure it out?" Sandpath asked.

"Yeah" she replied, turning her head slightly and looking at the smaller cat who was sitting silently behind her, trying to figure out the best way to word the next part of her explanation.

Darkcloud noticed Vamp shift her gaze and asked "Does it have something to do with the kit?"

"I'm not a kit!" said cat said, annoyed the larger cats kept referring to her as such.

Ignoring her for the time being, Vamp said "Yesterday, Sandpath asked me if she was my kit." She had to ignore the incredibly amused look on Oceanbreeze's and Danny's faces. "I told him that she wasn't."

"She's not, right?" Sandpath asked. Danny thought that Sandpath's voice sounded a little too hopeful, which only added to his amusement.

"No, she isn't" Vamp replied. "However, she did come from me."

"You lost me" Oceanbreeze said. "How is that possible?"

"The human who took me used the devices I mentioned earlier to, well, to put it simply; He created another cat from me. For a reason of course but... please don't make me get into that."

Danielle instantly popped into Danny's mind. "So she's a clone?" he asked.

"Basically, yeah."

"A clone?" Snowstar asked. This only added to how much she didn't know about these two cats. Danny obviously knew what she was talking about.

"Yes" Vamp said. "A clone is one who is created from another un-naturally." She was trying her best to explain to the cats without confusing them so much they didn't know what the hell she was talking about. She was about half-way succeeding with that.

"Usually, a clone is supposed to be an exact replica of their original, but not all come out that way" Danny said. Dani was a perfect example of this, being not only physically younger than him, but the opposite gender as well.

"I see..." Snowstar said. She still didn't fully understand what VampVixen and Danny were trying their best to explain to them, but she felt the explanation she had gotten was going to have to be good enough. Of course, just like every other time she'd question VampVixen or Danny, there was key information they were neglecting to tell her. Looking at the small clone, she asked "So what's your name?"

"I don't have one unless it's the same as Vamp's"

"That would be just a little too confusing" Oceanbreeze pointed out.

"Let's just call her Mini-Vamp!" Danny said, laughing.

"Seriously?" Vamp asked with a skeptical look.

"Actually, yeah, I'm totally serious" Danny replied after he was done laughing.

"That works!" Mini-Vamp said with a smile.

"Guess that's your name then" Sandpath said.

Snowstar asked Vamp a few more questions, then all the cats were sent off to go about their daily lives. Much to her annoyance, Mini-Vamp was told that she had to stay in the nursery. "It's not my fault I'm small" she grumbled as she did as she was told.

"You know she didn't tell us the whole truth, right?" Darkcloud asked after the other cats had left.

"They never do" Snowstar said with a frustrated sigh. "But I didn't want to make things more confusing than they already are." She could plainly see the troubled look on her deputy's face. It had been there for a bit now. "What's bothering you Darkcloud?"

"VampVixen and Danny seem to know an awful lot about two-legs. Probably even more than your average kittypet" she replied. "Not only that, it also still bothers me when they leave information out. They don't tell us the whole truth and dodge questions. You know I don't like when large secrets are kept."

"I understand your concern Darkcloud" Snowstar said. "It is very strange, but I don't think it endangers the clan in any way. For all we know, it might just be something that doesn't really hold much importance. I wouldn't think too much of it."

"Yeah... you're right I guess" Darkcloud said with a sigh. She still wanted to figure this out though. But why did it bother her the way it did in the first place? Maybe it was just her being paranoid. She didn't know. Figuring that was the end of the conversation, Darkcloud exited Snowstar's den.

Snowstar let out another frustrated sigh. She was bothered by it as well, but there were more important things to think about. Like how she and Blossompool, and probably Moonstar and Spiritheart, were cut off from any kind of Contact with Starclan. Whatever was happening before up there was still going on. Snowstar remembered the words Dewdrop had spoken. 'There's an evil spirit roaming StarClan and cutting off communication with the clans.'

Looking to the sky, Snowstar asked "what exactly is going on up there?"

And thus ends chapter two. Did you like it? I really feel I should have finished Mini-Vamp's story before writing this story, but whatever. Too late. Besides, that's just a side story. It's not as important. And I'll finish it eventually.
