Yes yes I know I know I'm a horrible person for keeping you waiting. I lost my muse for this story but I'm back!

Tugger: YOU MISSY! -Tackles me-

Me: I missed you too Tugs, really I did!


Bloodscar's P.O.V

"Now!" I yowled and attacked Munkustrap.

Fireheart went for Skimbleshanks and I prayed to Starclan that he wouldn't hurt the Scot.

Graystripe did try to attack Dueteronomy but since he was just sitting on the rock with a gentle smile on his face, and his claws weren't extended he went for Tugger.

Sandstorm immediatly became surrounded by Corpricat, Mistoffelees, and Zero. So she just growled and attacked their paws whenever they came to close for her comfort.

"Bloodscar!" Fireheart yowled.

Bloodscar turned to her friend and left Munkustrap laying down in surprise and tackled Skimbleshanks who attempted to bite Fireheart's throat.

"Munkustrap!" Dueteronomy called out to the gray striped tom and gestured him to sit with the aged tom.

Munkustrap gave the old wise cat a look of utter confusion but sat with him anyway and watched the cats fight with anxiety.

"Fireheart!" Sandstorm hissed and Firestar attacked Mistoffelees who gave a cry of surprise has his ears were bitten.

Tugger growled at Graystripe as they circle each other, not knowing whether they should make the first move or not.

Skimbleshanks glared at me but didn't bother fighting back as I stood over him.

"Excuse me," I heard Old Dueteronomy's voice say to me. I turned to him placing a paw on Skimbles chest.

"May you let him go, please? I promise he won't hurt you." Dueteronomy gave a tired, reasurring smile to me.

I nodded with a quick flick of my ear, letting him know I that I meant no harm, and that I remember him. I got off of Skimbleshanks and sat my bottom down infront of the old wise cat with a gaurded look in my eyes so that Munkustrap wouldn't start to think about my identity.

"Fireheart, Graystripe, Sandstorm!" I called to my friends.

They looked to me but didn't move from the Jellicle cats.

"Corpricat, Mistoffelees, Zero, Tugger." Dueteronomy said softly and gestured to the tom's with his tail.

The tom's slinked away from the Clan cats with hisses and sat around Dueteronomy in a protective circle.

"I am Dueteronomy," He introduced himself, "these are my friends, Skimbleshanks, Corpricat, Mistoffelees and Zero. My son's Tugger and Munkustrap." Pointing to each cat in turn.

"Bloodscar," I bowed my head and pointed with my tail, "Fireheart, Graystripe, and Sandstorm."

"Hello" Dueteronomy nodded, sorrow in his eyes but it was gone in a flash.

"Bloodscar... What kind of a name is that?" Tugger sneered.

"I wouldn't want to know where your name came from." Sandstorm snarled back, in Bloodscar's defense.

"Peace!" I snapped to my friends.

Sandstorm stopped her growling but kept glaring at the toms.

"Where are you from child?" Dueteronomy asked kindly.

"That is information we shouldn't give you." Firestar spoke up before I could.

"In fact, we should go to our leader and tell that we have offending cats in our territory." Graystripe stood up.

"Please, we mean no harm. We just wanted to see what was back here." Dueteronomy stood up slowly with Munkustrap right by his side.

I stood up, "I understand, but we must still go and report it." I bowed my head and my eyes got wide with an idea that just came to me.

'Think we'll be able to see eachother again? Flick your tail once for no and twice for yes.'

Dueteronomy's eyes widen a little bit but he flicked his tail twice to my question.

"Then go report to your leader, we will leave." Munkustrap nodded to us and got up and turned around to go back to the junkyard.

"You guys go report to Bluestar, I will make sure they do." I flicked my ears to my friends.

"Shouldn't one of us go with you?" Graystripe asked, giving me a strange look.

"You should, but I'm asking you all to go back to the Clan without me, I'll be alright." I assured them.

I felt Mistoffelees eyes on me and I tried my hardest not to twitch out of uncomfort.

"Are you sure?" Sandstorm asked, worry in her eyes.

"Yes, please Fireheart. Let me do this." I pratically begged him. Telling him with my eyes that this was important to me.

Fireheart gave me a hard look, but he finally gave a slow, reluctant nod.

"Thank you." I nuzzled his head.

"If you're not back by sundown, I will come get you." He vowed in my ear.

"Deal." I meowed and turned around to escort my family out of the woods.

Mistoffelees immediatley came to my side and was openly staring at me. Dueturonomy was struggling to walk back with the overgrowth all over the place so I rushed to him and leaned against him.

"You're not getting blind in your old age are you?" I whispered quietly so that the toms wouldn't hear us.

"No." Dueteronomy laughed quietly.

"I'm fine where I am, I would've come back, but there's something I need to do here." I whispered quickly.

"I understand. Our arms will always be opened for you." He reassured me.

As we passed over the scent line I noticed the gap in the fence that was opened to the junkyard.

"Munkustrap, Tugger, Skimbleshanks, Copricat, and Mistoffelees. Go on in. Zero will help me through." Dueteronomy told the toms who reluctantly went through the gap.

"Dueteronomy, I will meet you here every other day." I promised to him as he sat down to catch his breath.

"Why would you need too?" Zero asked curiously.

I had forgotten about him and his voice shocked me.

"Zero, you are new to the tribe. But you remember what we told you about Xanira?" Dueteronomy asked.

"Yes, she joined you and went with Macavity to save you from his evil doings." He said.

"You also remember that she died because it was foretold?" I decided to shock him.

"Well, yeah. But how do you know?" Zero asked shocked.

He looked familiar to me but I couldn't place him.

"I'll let Dueteronomy tell you that, I better get back." I nodded to Dueteronomy, letting him know that it was okay with me to tell this familiar tom what really happened to me.

"I will, but Bloodscar. Before you go, has something happened in your past that ills you?" Dueteronomy asked, knowledge of my pregnacy in his eyes.

"Yes." I nodded to him as I turned away in shame.

"He will still love you." Dueteronomy called out to me softly as I dispeared into the growth.

'I hope so.' I thought to him.


Samara's P.O.V

'I hope so.' Her voice rang in my head as I got a painful contraction.

"Pouncival!" I shrieked.

"What?" He sat up from his nap at attention.

"Get Jellylorum, the kit's coming." I gasped as another contraction over took me.

He jumped up and ran through the junkyard looking for the bronze and black striped cat.
