Puddlefoot guided us all deeper into the dump, until we finally reached our destination, an old abandoned shack. It was a little past sunset, but my eyes could still see as clearly as if it there was still daylight. "Flamefur, you take the first watch, Forestshadow will relieve you around midnight." Puddlefoot ordered, and the ginger she-cat clawed her way onto the roof. I heard a sigh from the leader as he watched her go, and he padded into the shack. Although it seemed the roof could come down on us, I followed after him.
Inside, there were nests made up of old clothes, and a single chair. Puddlefoot leapt onto it and turned to face all of us. "Cats of IceClan," he began in a grim voice, "a truly dark time is ahead for all of us. There seems to be no more humans in the city, and so the dogs run wild. However, it seems there is still hope. We welcome back Moonheart, and Iceclaw, the one with white eyes. Would either of you like to speak?" He asked, and I almost reluctantly nodded.
He leapt down from the chair, and I quickly took his place. I cleared my throat, and knew instantly what I wanted to say, "As I'm sure many of you are aware, many humans were wiped out, and almost all others were turned into dogs. However, one person was transformed into a cat, with white eyes. I am that human," there was little shock among them, and I decided to keep speaking. "Apparently, I am some sort of a threat to whoever caused all of this, I am not quite sure why, but-"
I was cut off by yowling coming from the roof, "Puddlefoot! There are two cats being chased by dogs, and they're headed this way!" Flamefur yelled, and stood in the front doorway, her green eyes wide with fear.
Puddlefoot spoke with calm authority, "how many dogs?"
"I counted two, but I couldn't tell," she said back.
"Alright then, anyone who isn't too exhausted from today's fight, come with me. Everyone else, stay here and defend this place, our home, with your lives if we happen to fail." I decided that I hardly fought at all today, even though I would've loved to curl up and sleep, I went with them. It was me, Puddlefoot, Moonheart, and Mudtail, and Puddlefoot began to come up with a strategy. "Mudtail, Iceclaw, I want you two to go along the sides, and jump the dogs when I give the signal. Moonheart and I will confront them, with any luck, the two cats will be able to fight themselves."
Mudtail glanced at me and said, "make sure you can see me. When I wave my tail, jump." I nodded slowly, and we split up. I waited by a heap of trash directly across from Mudtail, and a few moments later, two cats rushed into my view.
They were both very young the first was a small black tom, with blue eyes as wide as moons. The other was a golden she-cat with a white right front paw. She had a similar expression, except her eyes were yellow, resembling small suns. The two of them ran out of my vision, and a rank scent filled my nose. "Dog," I hissed softly, and a heartbeat later, a couple of dogs thundered in, stopping at the edge of my vision. I heard a voice, and seeing as neither of the dogs seemed to be speaking, I guessed it came from the young black cat.
"Please help us! These dogs chased us from the park, and we're both too tired to run anymore." I stiffened when I heard that. If what he said was true, we couldn't expect too much help from them.
I noticed a movement in the corner of my eye, the dogs both took a step forward, and the one I assumed to be the lead dog spoke, "look at them my love, we started out chasing a snack, and it leads to a banquet!"
Puddlefoot spoke in a low growl, "you will not touch these cats, we will stop you."
The other dog barked in a rough, but distinctly feminine, voice, "and what are you going to do to stop us?" Mudtail waved his long brown tail, and I waved mine back in response. These dogs were about to get an answer to their question.
Puddlefoot spoke again as I bunched my leg muscles in preparation of my spring, "how do you know there aren't more of us?"
The male dog said back, "what do you mean by tha-?!" He never got to finish, because I burst out of my hiding spot, and landed square on his back. He tried to shake me off, but I dug my claws into his short, tough fur, and bit as hard as I could into his ear. He howled in pain and rage, snapping his jaws at me. "Get off of me you dirty cat!"
Puddlefoot shot forward and plunged his claws straight into the dog's neck. I hopped off of his back, and the dog released a final, desperate gurgling before a twitched and went limp. I glanced toward Mudtail and saw him and Moonheart finishing the female dog off.
Puddlefoot padded up to the small, young cats, "welcome," he said, "my name is Puddlefoot, leader of IceClan." He paused and swept his tail in our direction, "this is Mudtail, the she-cat is Moonheart, and the one with white eyes is-"
"White eyes?!" The tom cut in rudely, "you're a human? Why haven't you saved us yet?!"
I looked away, unable to look him in the eyes, when I heard his companion mew timidly, "you can't expect even a human to get rid of all the dogs in one day…"
The tom sighed, "you're right Sun, I guess I'm still a little on-edge from the dog attack."
I stepped forward and extended my paw in something that resembled a hand shake, "I'm called Iceclaw, and you are?"
The black cat eyed me suspiciously for a moment before touching my paw with his, "Jet, and her name is Sun. I suppose you might be, um…able to call us…" Jet trailed off and looked at the ground, scuffling his fore paws in embarrassment.
The golden she-cat gave his ears a gentle lick, and I knew what she was going to say a split-second before she mewed, "Jet and I are mates."
Well, this was certainly a full day. Of course, we can't expect it to be this action packed in every chapter. Next will be a relevantly uneventful chapter, however, that's the calm before the storm. After that, the one who's behind this makes his announcement!
