Thunder blinked, his green eyes widened with fear, "Y-Yes" He stumbled. The ghostly figure purred, "Don't be afraid" It smiled, "I am Star, the wondrous leader of Starclan."
Thunder stared, still very confused. "So why have you come?" He asked, knowing that was the only question he could ask.
Star smiled, "I came to tell you, you and your friends are well on your way, to unlocking the mysteries of the forest" Thunder lifted his head higher as Star continued, "You have figure out the right plan, and ideas to survive" Star purred.
Thunder blinked, "Why tell me? Why didn't you tell all of us" He looked around at his friends, Star stared at each cat, his star-filled eyes glowed. "Cause I believe, you are the leader" He meowed, and began to fade. Thunder hesitated.
"Don't leave!" He pleaded, but Star didn't listen. Soon the starry cat had faded into thin air. Thunder stared at his paws, confused in his thoughts. "Are you okay?"
Thunder looked up to see his brother's mate, Drizzle, staring at him. Her blue fur messy and ungroomed from the nights' sleep. "You were yelling in your sleep" She meowed, and rolled her eyes, "Like always" Thunder gave her a playful nudge.
"Someone came to me last night, and he said that we were well on your way to becoming the clans" He meowed, then paused "Why are you up so early?" Drizzle hesitated, "No reason" She quickly meowed, and turned her head away from Thunder. Knowing he wasn't going to get an answer, he changed the topic, "I'll go hunt"
Drizzled didn't respond, so he left anyways. He heading, toward the oak forest. The dew hung on the grass, which made Thunder's paws wet. When he reached the forest, he felt home sick. Scenting the air for anything edible, he scented a bird. Thunder sighed, and stared at the feathery creature.
"I'm never good at tree hunting" He grumbled to himself, and he scaled up the bark. Sinking his sharp claws into the wobbly branch, he crept closer. It took all of his will-power to not look down. The sharp-eyed robin, gave a quick glimpse at Thunder and flew off. "Fox-dung!" He cursed, and froze helplessly on the branch.
Taking a deep breath of air, her scurried toward the trunk. His body leaned to one side, but before he fell, he crashed into the trunk. deeply breathing from the excitement, he carefully climbed down, and took his time. Knowing he wasted enough time, he quickly found a mouse den.
Rushing back to the Four-trees, Thunder found that most of the cats were awake. Sandy was still asleep, with Blaze under her bushy tail, with a drop of drool was hanging from his mouth. River was half awake.
Fox and Drizzle were quietly chatting, while Wind, Heather, and Gorse were separated from the rest. Shadow was curled into a lump, but her blazing green eyes were wide open. Thunder dropped a mouse at each of the families area, and settled down next to Shadow. He felt a stare, and knew it was from his brother, but he dared not to look up. "Are you okay?" He whispered, Shadow didn't look up, "I'm fine, just had a bad dream" She meowed, and used her scarred tail to cover her face. Thunder stood up, and walked over to his family.
"Took you long enough" Fox meowed, and continued eating his small mouse. Drizzled leaned closer to Thunder, "Don't worry about him, he's just a bit upset, that you went hunting by yourself" Thunder understood his younger brothers worry for him.
"What are going to do today?" Thunder looked up to see Heather standing next to him, her blue eyes glowed with annoyance. Thunder hesitated, "Umm...We could look at the territories, I noticed that there are five different areas"
Heather looked around, "Five? I see only four" Thunder stood up, "You see, in the oak woods half of the trees are taller and more darker. If we need to that could be a territory." Heather shrugged, and padded to her family. Thunder leaped onto the High Rock, "Umm...I think today we should try to find territories" River stood up, "I'll take the river" He declared, his voice stern, and low.
Wind, "I'll take the Moorlands" No cat argued, and Shadow flick her tail toward the pine, marshy forest. Thunder, "I'll take the forest" He meowed, nothing else was said.
Each cat separated into their own territory. Thunder, Fox and Drizzled all padded into their familiar oak forest. Fox took a deep breath of air, "It's nice to be home" Drizzle smiled, "It's not exactly like home...but it'll do" The cats had entered the 'taller tree' part of the forest. The three cats padded deep into the unfamiliar forest, and weird cats scents everywhere. They exchanged glances, and carried on. Drizzled sniffed the ground, "This doesn't feel right" She whispered.
Some nearby bushes rattled, and two small cats appeared. One of them was a small dusky tom while the other was a tortoiseshell she-cat, the tom's fur was bristling, "What are you doing on Skyclan territory!"
