Spider led the two cats to the two-leg area following the river. "Are you okay, Spider? We can rest if your wound hurts." Flame meowed.
"I have had worse living here. Anyway, my mothers friend lives close by. She is really nice and would probably like the idea of a Clan working together." Spider meowed. "But will it be okay because she has kits?"
"Snake would tell us that the Clan would get very exited when kits where born. And a Clan does need kits." Bird mewed. "Hey, Spider, are you sure we haven't passed the place? I can scent a queen."
"Huh? This seems like the place. Thistle!" Spider yowled. "It's me, Spider. Hannah kit."
"Spider?" a she-cat meowed poking her head out of an opening in between some rocks. "Who are these cats? Where is Hannah?"
"I got separated from her this morning. But these are Flame and Bird. They are making a Clan, and I will be an apprentice." Spider meowed.
"Clan? Like Vines?" the she-cats fur began to stand up.
"A Clan does not kill cats. It is a group of cats who take care of one another. He didn't explain well but..." Spider meowed.
"We will be holding a meeting to tell cats about the Clan in 3 days at sun-high. You do not have to join but you can go an hear what a Clan is about." Bird meowed. "You just follow this river and you will arrive at the waterfall."
"Yeah. We will stand up to Vines." Spider yowled. "I can't wait to be an apprentice-"
"Can we be apprentices to?" a kit meowed while running out from under the she-cat with two other. The kit that meowed was a golden tabby tom, the other two where a pretty black tabby she-kit and a dark brown tom with tortoiseshell blotches.
"Kits." the she-cat scowled and came out. She was a wiry black she-cat with tortoiseshell blotches on her back, legs, cheeks and forehead. "I am sorry if they sounded rude. I'm Thistle, that's Darkness," the flicked her tail to the black she-kit, "that is Talon," she pointed to the golden tabby, "and this is Thorn."
"Flame." Flame meowed.
"I'm Bird."
"Well that's all I we wanted to say. I'm going to take them to other cats that might want to join." Spider meowed. "If you see Hannah can you tell her to follow the river to the waterfall?"
"I will. Good luck. See you in 3 days." Thistle meowed.
"It was nice meeting you." Flame meowed.
Next, Spider led them inside the two-leg area. He then walked into an alley and yowled. "Hello. Anyone there?"
"Spider. Don't yowl so much" Flame hissed.
"Who are you? This is my area. I ain't letting you take it." a black tom stepped out with his claws unsheathed. Behind him, there was a silver she-kit.
"We won't do anything. We are just wondering if you would like to joi-" Bird meowed.
"I ain't joining nothing. Last time I did, my mate and two of my kits died." the tom hissed.
"Actually. In our group, we help and protect one another. We will hold a meeting about it in 3 days. Just follow the river up and it is at the waterfall." Spider meowed. "You don't have to join if you don't want to."
"I might think about it. Might." the tom hissed. "Now get out of my territory."
"Cats are nice aren't they?" Flame purred. "where to now, Spider-?" A few tail lengths away, two muscular toms where battling a she-cat. Before any of them could do anything, two balls of white fur pounced on the toms and scared them away. Looking at the she-cat who the toms where fighting, she was a dark red she-cat. The white cats where both white she-cats, except one has a small ginger fleck on her muzzle.
"Are you alright?" Bird meowed to the dark red she-cat.
"I am fine." he red she-cat hissed and looked away.
"That's rude. Say it directly." Spider hissed. The red she-cat then turned around. She had two different colored eyes. One of her eyes was emereald and the other was red with a scar running across it. "That's better"
"You'r not scared?" she meowed.
"Why should we?" Flame meowed. "I think you should thank the two cats who helped you."
"Right. Uh thank you." she meowed to the white she-cats.
"No problem, I'm Ice and that's my sister Fire." the all white she-cat meowed, both sisters looked quite young.
"I'm Flame, that's Bird and the kit is Spider." Flame meowed. "You know, you two have great fighting skills, how old are you two?"
"7 moons old." Fire meowed.
"We are building a Clan. It is a group who helps and protects each will have a meeting if you are interested. But you don't have to join if you don't want to." Bird meowed.
"Yeah. You should join too..." Spider meowed to the red she-cat.
"Oh I am Heather." she meowed.
"Well then, why don't you join?" he asked. "Do you have a place to stay?"
"This is stupid. I won't join." Fire hissed and stalked away.
"Don't worry. We will go to the meeting." Ice meowed and padded to catch up wit her sister.
"I am quite interested in the Clan" Heather meowed then looked embarrassed. "Uh, do you mind if a go with you, I don't have a place to stay at..."
"Of course you can. We will get to know each other better then. It is almost sun-down. Lets head back now." Bird meowed.
