I'm bored, so I'm doing this. It isn't a good chapter by the way...

I was caught by these super shady cats. They were super weird, but I was way, way, way, way, way weirder. That was a fact. I used my long dark gray legs to jump into a Pine tree and climb it easily.

One cat meowed, "Hey! Get back here, rogue scum!"

I answered back light-hearted, "I'll do that once I go eat something! And I'm not a rogue! Geez, cats and some egos..." I jumped from tree to tree without a care in the world, except for the sting that the nettles gave my poor pads. I looked back and forth when I reached the Thunderpath. I pranced across the Thunderpath as a monster was starting to slow down as they had seen me walking across the ground. The Thunderclan patrols were looking at me with their mouths wide open. They didn't notice when a branch cracked above a young cat's head.

I leapt to push that cat out of the way of the branch and then I jumped into a comfortable Oak tree. I stretched my legs before bouncing from tree to tree all the way to the plains and hills of which were occupied by this clan called Windclan.

It was a perfect day. The sun was shining. The river wasn't strong, it was only rippling. The puffy white clouds were floating in the blue sky. The wind was only slightly rustling the leaves in the forest.

I was in the middle of it. It was like a perfect dream. I never wanted it to change.

And then the clouds turned gray. The sun was blocked. The wind started to vigorously shake the trees as a whole. The river was eating the world alive. I was being taken down-river without a choice, and then I saw him. The black-and-white tom who had changed my whole life.

I jumped up out of my moss bed. I breathed heavily. It was him. I couldn't. No. My nightmares were coming back. I couldn't. No, no, no no! I needed to forget. This was a new chapter of my life. No. I cannot...

"Hi."

I jumped in surprise at the new voice. I saw Branchpelt. I didn't say anything, not even a simple 'hello'. The clans were like him and his...no. They could be different. Those cats tried to keep you...No! I was an intruder.

"Um, hello?" Branchpelt meowed in confusion.

"Oh, hey. Sorry, today isn't a good day to talk to me," I mewed. I blinked, "Wait, how'd you find me?"

Branchpelt rolled his eyes in annoyance. And he had a puzzled look on his face. "I don't know? I was wondering around aimlessly because the clan wanted to thank you for saving Jaypaw."

I was only half-paying attention. I replied, "Yeah, yeah. Your welcome. I'm called Reckless for a reason." I was distracted as I looked at Branchpelt more carefully. The tip of my tail twitched uncomfortably. What if this tom turned out like...him...? I shook my head, trying to literally shake the thought from my head. I stretched and meowed, "Well, I'm out of here. Have a good day!"

Branchpelt didn't get to say anything more after I jumped into a tree and disappeared into the forest. I was now left alone with my thoughts.

Some backstory! Yay! I don't have much else to say.

QOTC: Why do you think Branchpelt wanted to say more?
