I replied briskly, "How do you know my name?" The cat tilted his head. "Don't be ridiculous. Sylvia, we've known each other for as long as I could remember!" I suddenly realized this was Wander. I replied, "Wander, how-what made you become a cat?" Wander looked down, then his eyes lit up in surprise. "By golly, I didn't even notice! Look at these paws! They sure could knock somebody out with one blow. I'd better be careful. Anyways, I wouldn't be talking, Sylvia. I mean, look at yourself!" That's right, I hadn't even seen what had happened to me.
I looked at the reflection at the cool stream beside me. I suddenly let out a little yowl, which surprised me. Instead of me, a bluish grey cat face with pinkish colored eyes stared. Suddenly I heard rustling in the bushes. I let out a low growl. "Stay back Wander." I warned. Cat instincts must have taken over his mind, because instead of backing up and being frightened, he stood his ground and flattened his ears. I heard claws unsheathe and two small but powerful cats pounced on me and Wander.
Wander swiped his claws at the pale ginger colored she-cat on him. Her green eyes glowed with excitement. The dark tabby tom on top of me hissed and bared his teeth. He then snarled, "Cats like you should stay off Thunderclan hunting grounds!" I knocked the cat off of me. I braced for impact, my claws unsheathed and ready to fight. His golden eyes glowed evilly with rage. Wander bared bright white fangs at the she-cat. I suddenly heard a firm female voice shout, "It's okay, Sandpaw and Dustpaw, I think the intruders have learned their lesson."
