Chapter 3-The Loner in ThunderClan Teritory

Ivypool shivered."That loner scares me,"

Dovewing just looked thoughtful."What did she say her name was? Swiftshadow? We should tell Lionblaze and Jayfeather,"

Her sister nodded. Dovewing padded outside with Ivypool by her side. They ran through the forest at top speed unaware of the pair of hazel eyes watched them from above.Hmm..So they are going to tell Lionblaze and Jayfeather. I wonder what Jayfeather look like in real life. I've always thought he looked cute plus his jay-blue eyes on the cover of Eclipes is seriously beautiful.She frowned.I wonder what Anai,Laurel, Kiellee and Kaylen are doing right now. Probably not in a bad problem like me. I remember Miranda and me just staring at the cover of Eclipes, not a problem except that we were staying up too late at a sleepover.

(flashback)

Miranda,a brown-haired girl, was with Erin and they were creeping down the road the Erin's Dad's house was on. Down into the forest at the end of the road. Making their way through the trees the follow the stream up-stream and jumped to the bank on the side of the stream that was quicly turning into a small river.

Erin smirked at Miranda."dare you to stick your foot in."

Miranda stuck out her touge and stuck her foot in, flip flop and all. She shivered from the cold and made her way through the water, erin following her. When it got deeper, they moved up onto the bank and climbed up to the trees. They moved upstream and to a fallen tree.

Erin looked at Miranda."Let's go."

They climbed under it and came into a clearing that they had made their camp."So Lunastar,"Erin said to Miranda."Wern't you going to appoint Sorreltalon as deputy since Sunheart died?"

"Of course, Raineyes,"she moved on top of a fallen tree, but was cut."All those who are old enough to hunt some prey, gather under the half-tree for a clan meeting!"

She blinked. Dovewing and Ivypool disapeared. She scanned the under-grouth. I was fantasized for that long?she thought puzzeled and stood up on the branch she was crouching on. Swiftshadow closed her eyes and focused on the smells and sounds around her. Her eyes snapped open as she jumped onto another tree. A golden tabby tom lept onto the place where she was last standing.I was fantasizing for longer than I thought,she thought alarmingly.That's Lionblaze! They already got them.

Swiftshadow scanned the undergrouth. She saw Dovewing, Ivypool, and Jayfeather among some ferns. Gasping, she fell from the branch she was on as Lionblaze clawed her back and pushed her over.

"DAMN!"she screamed.

Dovewing ran over and sniffed her. She nodded." is the same scent as the so-called 'Swiftshadow'."

She glared daggers at the three and Ivypool."Was that nessacery!" she yelled at Lionblaze.

The cats blinked. They probably didn't think she could speak their tounge. She stood up, panting mind you, and transformed."Is this more better?"

They blinked again, with the exception of Dovewing who had probably already seen her transform due to her power."Who are you?"Jayfeather demanded after getting over the shock.

Swiftshadow couldn't bring herself to glare at Jayfeather, her favorite warrior cat."I already told Dovewing and Ivypool. I am Swiftshadow."

"What are you?" Ivypool asked quietly.

Swiftshadow sat down."To tell you the truth...I don't know. A hybrid I guess. A mix between two speices,"she added after seeing their confused looks."Oringinally I was a twoleg. But, I know all about the Clans,"

"Really,"Lionblaze said eyeing her distrustfully.(A/N: Who could blame him?)

She nodded confidently."Yeah. Ask me anything,"

"How many clans are there and what are the names?"Jayfeather asked.

Swiftshadow snorted."That's easy. Four. ThunderClan which is here, WindClan which is on the moors, ShadowClan which is in the pine forest, and RiverClan which is by the twolegplace where I live."

"Do you know how Lavenderheart died?" Lionblaze asked.

She blinked."Who the hel-heck is Lavendarheart?"

"So you don't know everything?"Dovewing said.

"No, I do!"Swiftshadow protested."When I was a twoleg, I read warriors by Erin Hunter and-"

"Wait,"Jayfeather's blind eyes ran over all of them."When Lavendarheart came to the clans she called herself Erin Hunter for some reason."

She blinked owlishly."But-but, Erin Hunter is a twoleg-"

"But,"Dovewing interupted."Lavendarheart didn't die. She just went missing-one night she was here, in the mourning she wasn't."

"But that means..."Swiftshadow's eyes widened as realization dawned on her.

Me-Cliffie!

Raineyes-R&R!
