Hello. :D Would you guys get mad at me if I started calling you my duckies? That is right! Another chapter! :3 I am surprised I haven't given up. Don't get me wrong, it is just usually when I write a story I give up on it by chapter 4. This survived to chapter 6! :U
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! *passes out*
Beta Approved?: Not yet. XD
"Rusty."
Firepaw blinked and looked around. Where had that voice come from?
"You must remember."
"Remember what?" Firepaw looked around the dark den. All of the apprentices were asleep.
"Remember..."
Firepaw blinked as he suddenly found himself in a twoleg yard. His eyes widened. This is were he use to live! Hearing a mew he turned around and gasped at what he saw.
An orange kit tripped over his paws as he ran over to a brown tabby tom. He looked up at the tom before rubbing up against him affectionately.
The larger tom cleared his throat before glaring at the kit. "What was that for kittypet?"
The tabby tom was a clan cat! Firepaw blinked. That voice...
The kit look up at the tom and mewed, "For saving me. You didn't have to... but you did." He rubbed up against Tigerpaw once again before smiling a toothy grin. "Stay with us for the night!" He half asked half stated happily.
The kit's green eyes had a strange fire in them... Firepaw gasped. It was him!
"No." was the tom's simple reply.
"Actually, I think you should. It is quite late and I assure you, you won't have to get near any of our owner's things. Just stay and get a good nights sleep." A large black cat said.
His green eyes twinkled with an emotion Firepaw couldn't name. Firepaw's tail twitched. If this was his memory then the black cat was... Dinglebell! His uncle!
Firepaw stared on at the talking cats. The tabby tom finally agreed and layed down next to the fence near the entrance to the twoleg nest. Rusty(he was so used to calling himself Firepaw, so he referred to Rusty as a different cat), whined as Dinglebell ushered him inside with his sisters and his mother.
The sun set at an unusual rate. Soon, the moon was bright and the sky was full of stars. An orange head popped out of the twoleg nest.
"Hi!" the kit mewed to the tabby tom, who had been watching the moon.
The tom grunted and treated Rusty with indifference.
Huffing, obviously Rusty wasn't going to give up, he padded over to the tom and layed down in front of him.
The tom gave a strangled growl as a warning. Rusty ignored him and curled up into a tight ball. "Good night, Tigerpaw." The tom blinked then slowly smiled he curled around Rusty and quickly fell asleep.
Firepaw's heart had sped at the name of the tom. Tigerpaw.
"Now that you remember, you must stop the darkness." Rust whipped his head around to find a dark ginger she-cat staring intently at him.
"S-Stop the darkness?"
The she-cat nodded and her lifeless, green eyes looked directly in his. "Yes, Firepaw. But first, you must find Tigerclaw. A destiny was selected for the two of you a long time ago. I am not going to let you ruin it."
With that said the she-cat slowly faded away. "Wait!" Firepaw called. Though it was to late.
Firepaw jumped from his bed of moss and yowled once again, "Wait!"
"Shut up you stupid fur ball!" came Sandpaw's muffled reply.
Firepaw's ragged breath was the only sound after that. What had just happened? The cat that had saved him had been Tigerclaw. He blinked at this revelation. His ears felt hot with embarrassment. He was the one that had backed up Darkstripe whne he had told the clan that Tigerclaw was a traitor. Ravenpaw had told him so. What if Ravenpaw had been lying? He thought on the matter.
Firepaw quickly realised he needed to find Tigerclaw. Not looking back, he marched out of the den silently. He jogged over to the clan entrance and slipped out. He would search until the moon set and the sun rose. He would be back into camp by that time. Then he would start the search the next night if he had to. Tigerclaw had answers to his questions. He really needed them.
It took me forever because I switched POV and had to think on what tyo say and because my beta STILL hasn't sent me back the finished version. Anyway, enjoy.
Oh my gosh! This is the shortest chapter that I have wrote in a long time! :D
