THE QUIET ONE

Chapter One-

{Casper's P.O.V.}

"Hey, kit!" A strange, harsh voice woke Casper. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you!"

He opened his eyes to find that his vision was sharper. He sat up and looked down at his black... paws? What is going on? He thought as he looked towards a tall, dark brown tomcat with yellow-green eyes, who was staring at him.

"You okay?" He asked, crouching down.

Casper was a little taken back that this cat could talk to him and he could understand. He then realized he was on the side of a road; the acid smell stung his throat and eyes. He shook his head; he tried to stand, but yelped in pain as he put slight pressure on his front left leg.

"Whoa. Did you get hit by a monster?" The brown tomcat asked, supporting his side.

Casper shrugged. What is a monster? He thought as the tom led him away from the roadside. Why can I understand you? He asked silently. It was slightly hard to walk on four legs, but for some odd reason, it reminded him of his childhood. He physical flinched remembering the black suburban slamming into his side.

"You're doing fine. Almost to camp," The tomcat's soft yellow-green eyes told Casper not to be scared.

Camp? He thought, looking around at the dark pine forest. Where am I? Where am I? Where am I? He kept asking himself, hoping for an answer. He limped on, ignoring the discomfort of hopping on three legs. His sides were sore as well, but he would live.

"There is it," The tomcat mewed.

An overwhelming scent of dead things and musky sweat filled Casper's nose. He coughed, causing pain the flare up in his sides.

"Grayhawk! Go get Brokenleg!" The tomcat called to gray she-cat sitting by an entrance.

She hesitated, but sprinted into camp. The brown tomcat sat him down.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness. I'm Hollowfang," His eyes softened.

"Casper," He whispered, voice scratchy from coughing.

"Inter-"

Rustling of the holly bushes interrupted Hollowfang's comment. A ginger she-cat limped towards them, a white leg dragging in the dirt.

"Who's this, Hollowfang?" She asked politely.

"Casper. I suspect he's a loner. No kittypet scent, or softness for that matter," He meowed, pointing to his lifted left leg.

"Oh, my. We should get back to camp quickly," She limped away, flicking her tail for them to follow.

Hollowfang supported Casper's side as he led him into their camp. It was very wide; the walls consisted of holly bushes and bramble tendrils. The dark brown tomcat led him to the first den on the left. It was a hole in the ground, but as they went inside, it opened up to a large cave type clearing. Small round cat bed-like nests were spread out around the den. Dips and slots in the packed dirt wall were filled with so many leaves and petal; the smell was strangely comforting.

"Lay him over there," The ginger she-cat, Brokenleg, pointed to a nest with feathers of some type of black bird.

Hollowfang lowered Casper in the nest and nodded to him. Then he disappeared back up the hole and Casper turned his head towards Brokenleg. A chubby, light brown she-cat was sitting by her, small white flecks looked gray in the dim lighting. She turned her head to look at him; her dark blue eyes were like the moonless midnight sky.

"Hello. I'm Fallowpaw," She had walked over.

"Casper," He repeated, voice stronger.

"Nice to meet you, Casper. This is Brokenleg, my mentor. I'm training to be a Medicine cat," Her voice was swift and soft.

"What's a Medicine cat?" He asked.

"That can wait till later. I need to fix up your leg," Brokenleg intervened.

She set some things next to her. He spotted some comfrey root, and stinging nettle. Gritting his teeth in pain as Brokenleg pulled his leg straight and smeared some gel-like ointment on it and wrapped it with cobwebs before securing sticks parallel to it with a vine-like plant.

"There. Here are some poppy seeds to help with the pain. Fallowpaw, go fetch Casper some food," The ginger she-cat shooed off Fallowpaw with a flick with her tail.

"I've heard a loner stumbled onto our territory?" A intimidating voice filled the room.

"Yes, Darkstar," Brokenleg dipped her head in respect.

Casper awkwardly sat there, leg stretched out away from his body.

"Hello, young one. I am Darkstar of CrowClan," Confusion flooded Casper's face. "I'm guessing you've never heard of the Clans," Casper nodded his head.

"'Ere's ya' 'ood," Fallowpaw slipped in the room, holding a mouse in jaw.

"Thank you, Fallowpaw," Brokenleg pushed in front of him.

Casper looked to the mouse, a lump in his throat. He slowly took a bite, he didn't want to seem strange or weak. He needed some answers, but how would he do when he refused to eat food they offered. Surprisingly, the mouse tasted somewhere between chicken and beef.

"Good. You definitely aren't from a kittypet background," Darkstar inquired. "I just need to ask a few questions,"

Casper nodded, chewing on the mouse.

"Did you get hit by a monster?" Casper nodded, hoping monster meant car. "Do you have any family?" Casper shrugged; he had no idea if he had any in this world.

"Should he be an apprentice?" Brokenleg interjected.

Casper thought for a moment. An apprentice?

"I'll think about it," Darkstar finally said after a few minutes of silence. "Do you know how you got here?" Darkstar asked.

Casper shook his head, "Not even a glimpse,"

Darkstar nodded and nodded for Brokenleg to follow him. They exited the den.

"I hope Darkstar lets you stay," Fallowpaw flicked her ears. "I mean that leg isn't healing anytime soon," She averted her blue gaze from his in embarrassment.

"I think I like here," Casper said.

Fallowpaw nodded, her eyes shining.

"Okay, Casper. You can stay, but under one condition. You become a member of CrowClan," Darkstar entered the room with Brokenleg.

"Really?" Casper was shocked. "I mean of course,"

"I like you already," Darkstar purred, exiting the den.

"Wow. You're the first one to make Darkstar purr, in forever!" Fallowpaw looked amazed.

"Hush. Let Casper rest," Brokenleg ushered Fallowpaw out of the den.

Casper licked up the poppy seeds and drifted off to sleep, grateful for the warm, soft nest.

"Cats old enough to catch a frog, please gather here under the Cracked Boulder for a Clan meeting!" Darkstar's yowl aroused Casper from his slumber.

He grunted as he stood and hobbled out of the dark den. Blinking sleep from his eyes, he spotted Fallowpaw beckoning him over.

"They are doing the ceremony were you become an official member of the Clan," She whispered, leading him near the front of the group.

Casper sat down next to Hollowfang and a pure black she-cat.

"As you all may know! A loner has stumbled upon our territory. He was injured, but that doesn't mean he is not capable of become a great warrior of CrowClan. Casper, please step forward!" Darkstar's soft green eyes wiped away his nervousness.

Hobbling forward, he looked to Fallowpaw. She was beaming was excitement.

"I, Darkstar of CrowClan, call upon my StarClan ancestors to look down on this loner. He is willing to learn our ways of the noble code and fight for this Clan, even at the cost of his own life. Casper, do you promise to up hold this agreement?"

"I do,"

"Then by the powers of StarClan, Casper, your name Clan name shall be Quietkit. I hope StarClan accepts my choice," Darkstar leaped down off the rock and by his side.

He rested his head on top of Quietkit's and motioned him to lick his shoulder; he obeyed.

"Now! We have two more lucky cats that are ready to move up to ranks. Lilykit and Molekit, please step forward," Quietkit sat back down by Hollowfang.

Lilykit, a small, cream-and-brown she-cat with large green eyes bounced forward with her brother, Molekit, a chubby, light brown tomcat with dark green eyes right behind her.

Lilykit and Molekit,you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you both receive your warrior names, you will be known as Lilypaw and Molepaw. Lilykit, your mentor will be Ebonystream. Molepaw, your mentor will be Adderthroat. I hope they both pass down all they know on to you both," Their eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Ebonystream, you are ready to take on another apprentice. You had received excellent training from Rubbleheart and you have shown yourself to be patient and skilled. You will be the mentor of Lilypaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her," The pure black tomcat walked forward and touched noses with Lilypaw.

"Adderthroat, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Clawpelt and you have shown yourself to be loyal and calm. You will be the mentor of Molepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to him," The black-and-white tabby walked forward and touched noses with Molepaw.

"Quietkit! Lilypaw! Molepaw! Quietkit! Lilypaw! Molepaw! Quietkit! Lilypaw! Molepaw!" The Clan yowled and cheered their names.

Quietkit beamed with happiness. He never knew wild cats could be so nice.

"Petalstream, will you be the foster-mother of Quietkit?" Darkstar asked after the cheering died down.

"Of course," The she-cat that was sitting next to Quietkit purred and touched his ear with her wet nose.

"Clan meeting is dismissed!" Darkstar leaped down from the large rock and went to talk with a white she-cat.

"Let's go meet your new brother and sister," Hollowfang lightly touched his tail to Quietkit's shoulder and led him to a holly and bramble bush. "Marshkit! Shadekit! Come meet Quietkit," Petalstream called.

Two large kittens came tumbling out of the nursery.

"Hi, Quietkit! I'm Marshkit," A dark brown tom-kit eyed him with deep green-gold eyes.

"And I'm Shadekit!" A jet-black she-kit hopped around Quietkit.

"Okay. That's enough activity for today. Quietkit needs to go back to the Medicine cat den," Brokenleg's voice surprised Quietkit.

"Aw. Bye, Quietkit! Nice to meet you!" Shadekit called after him as he hobbled away.

"Yeah! Hope you get better super fast!" Marshkit added.

Quietkit blinked in thanks and followed Brokenleg.

"Get a goodnight's rest. I'll check on your leg in the morning," Brokenleg broke the silence as they slipped into the den.

He nodded and settled into his nest.

"Good night, Quietkit," She mewed, laying in her nest.

"Night, Brokenleg. And don't let the bedbugs bite," He whispered the last part as he drifted off to sleep, Allyn's terrified eyes flashing in his mind.
