Hey guys sorry I took a break there… I was just too lazy to do another. Anyway, I 've changed the schedule to every other day I'll post a new chapter. On to the story.
Cassidy led us across Windclan territory. We were praying to Starclan, that we wouldn't be seen, or smelt. Finally around sunhigh time we made it across and we were now standing on the edge of the thunderpath. "You go first!" Cassidy meowed to Wesley and Cody. "She-cat's first!" Wesley smirked. Cassidy rolled her eyes. Everyone laughed, even my kits! But I didn't laugh. Once they saw my frown, they stopped. "Let's continue.." Jessie mumbled.
The she-cats crossed first. "Come-on Nightkit, you can come with us." I meowed. "But I'm not a she-cat mama!" He mewled. "I know sweetheart, but I want you to stick with me." I replied. He gave up the argument and followed me and his sisters as we crossed. I walked slow enough for them to catch up with me, Sweetpaw went right ahead and zoomed past us. I rolled my eyes. Once Hollykit took a step off the thunderpath, a monster zoomed by.
I looked over at my younger kits, they were shivering. "Shhhh, there, there kits. That was just a monster." I comforted them. I looked over at Sweetpaw who was grooming herself, looking mighty fine. I was going to smile but then caught myself and went back to my permanent scowl. After another monster passed, the toms sprinted across and joined us in no time. We kept on walking, following Cassidy's every move. Soon sunset was upon us. All I thought about was Jack, and how he would have loved this sunset.
We reached a field with a few trees here and there. "Let's settle here for the night." Jessie meowed. We all agreed. My kits flopped on the ground in tired. On my left there was a somewhat high cliff with a cave underneath it. "Let's check that out!" Wesley meowed, going towards the cave. Everyone followed. I scooped up my kits and followed them.
What we found inside made our jaws drop. It was beautiful! Cave crystals were everywhere you looked, and there was a smallish deepish pool of water as turquoise as my eyes. The pool had about 3 big fish and quite a few paws full of minnows. My kits played with the minnows. Snowkit eventually caught one and so did the others. "Mama! We caught some minnows!" they meowed rushing over to me. "Good job kits!" I meowed, plastering the cheesiest smile on my tabby face.
With some minnows and 2 big fish we had a good meal. "Mama, they were fun to catch but they don't taste very good…" Hollykit complained. I stood up with a sigh. "I'll go see if I can catch you a mouse." I meowed. Once I stepped outside a warm Greenleaf breeze rustled through my thick silver fur. It felt nice, but I ignored the feeling. I stood up straight and began to sniff this unclaimed territory.
I picked up the scent of a delicious squirrel. It was coming from the trees. I walked over to the trees and as soon as I walked into the woods, a bunch of evening songs from birds, welcomed me Jack would have loved this! I thought. I suddenly remembered why I was here and I looked around for the squirrel. I saw the fuzzy creature on the roots of an oak tree nibbling on a green acorn.
I got into a hunter's crouch immediately. I stalked towards it, and then when I was in the perfect place I pounced. I landed on the squirrel's tail. The grey animal tried its best to squirm away. I bit into its little spine and in reply I tasted warm blood. The squirrel, after struggling for a little went limp. I silently thanked Starclan for this squirrel. I turned to walk out but then all the melodies, all the songs stopped in place all the birds flew away.
My blood ran cold; a feeling ran through my body, I felt like danger was very near. I sniffed the air, but before I could recognize the scent a muscular tom stepped out from the trees. I recognized him right away. I dropped my squirrel "Jack!" I purred rushing towards him.
"Lunastar!" He meowed as I hugged him (can cats hug?) "Oh, I'm so glad you're here!" I purred. "Really because last time we chatted, you rejected me." Jack teased. "Oh, you know I love you!" I meowed blushing. "Let's go to the others!" Jack meowed. I picked up my squirrel and followed him out of the forest. We walked to the cave and before we even walked in… "Mama's back with food!" I heard Hollykit meow. The kits cheered and in a hurry they rushed outside, quickly coming to a halt.
"YAY! JACK"S HOME! Snowkit meowed so loud, I was afraid Windclan would hear her. Jacks siblings came out along with Sweetpaw and joined in on the cheering. Soon we settled down and went inside the cave. We fell asleep with Jack lying right next to me, guarding me with his life, like he had vowed that one night, I realized I loved him.
Yay! Jack's back! I'll explain why later.
