Chapter 2- bramblestar
As the dawn light of late greenleaf filtered into my den I knew I needed to get up and help Squirrelflight with the patrols.
I got up only to find she had beaten me to it. She was just sending the dawn patrol off and coming to find me when I walked out into the morning.
"Oh, hello bramblestar." She said happily.
"Hello, I see you sent the dawn patrol off." I replied.
"Yes and now who should we send on the hunting patrol?"
I thought for a moment. Jayfeather had come to my den a bit ago and told me to keep plenty of warriors in camp. He had never mentioned why and quickly retreated to his den.
I put the thought away and turned back to the small group of cats that were already awake.
I though for a moment.
" Birchfall!" I called
"Yes bramblestar?"
"I want you to lead a hunting patrol down by the lake. Take blossomfall, spiderleg, and cloudtail. "
"Yes bramblestar." He replied with enthusiasm which was strange for him but I had other things to think about so I let it drop.
He walked off to collect the warriors I had named. When I turned around quite a few more cats had come out of their dens and were sitting down to eat.
I looked for Squirrelflight and found her sharing a sparrow with leafpool. I would have joined them but I didn't want to ruin the little amount of time they could spend together now. Between squirrelflight being a deputy and leafpool still trying to prove that she was loyal, even though she had proved it many times over in the past few seasons, they were busy.
Then I remembered. Ivypool's kits were six moons old now, and just in time because hazeltail, one of the queens, had died in a border attack yesterday when she had gone out for a walk. Shadowclan had been attacking our borders for the past quarter moon but had never killed a cat before now. But that act had not gone unnoticed by our clan but for now we were grieving over Hazeltail who had left her only kit in ivypool's care. The kit was 1 moon old and her name was coralkit.
Now, back to the ceremony.
"Let all those old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath high rock for a clan meeting." I yelled.
They all came streaming out of their dens and the hunting patrol was back. The dawn patrol wasn't but the apprentices to be, had mentors that had still been in the camp. Speaking of the kits here they come now, looking very clean and proud of themselves.
After everyone was calm I began to speak.
We are here today to celebrate one of the most important ceremonies in our clan. As you all know we haunt had apprentices since newleaf and need more now so let us celebrate!
These four kits have reached the age of six moons and are ready to become apprentices.
Tigerkit step forward. You are now six moons of age and are ready to become an apprentice. So from this day forward until you receive you warrior name, you will be called Tigerpaw. Your mentor will be sorreltail. Sorreltail you were taught well and I hope you will pass your kindness, strength, and patience to tigerpaw. They touched noses and sat back to await the other apprentices.
Goldenkit, step forward. From this day forward until you gain your warrior name you will be called goldenpaw. And you mentor will be, brightheart. He steped forward a bit slower than his brother and touched Noses with his mentor.
Blackkit step forward. from this day until you receive your warrior name you will be called blackpaw. your mentor will be Leafpool.
She looked at me with surprise and thanks as she touched noses with him.
Lastly.
Cloverkit. From this day until you receive you warrior name you will be called Cloverpaw. Your mentor will be Cloudtail. Cloudtail, I know you have struggled in the past but today I am proud to have you as part of Thunderclan, and I know you will train her well.
With that I steped back to let the clan see them.
Tigerpaw! Goldenpaw! Blackpaw! Cloverpaw!
Their parents, ivypool and Foxleap yelled the loudest, a bit to their kits embarrassment.
The clan eventually turned back to their dens or to get ready for their patrols, when I stopped the new apprentices.
"This will be a hard transition for all of you because there haven't been any apprentices since leafbare, so Timbersky
one of the youngest warriors will help you with your nests. "
As they walked off with Timbersky I knew something was wrong when the dawn patrol walked into camp with twice as many cats that had left.
Mae's POV
I was tired. I couldn't remember what had happened or where I was... But then that moment of luxury ended and I remembered, the race throughout the forest from late evening to it being a few hours before dawn when we found that pool and poofed.
As I looked around everything looked off somehow. Sharper or more focused. Maybe it was because it was lighter or... I don't know what els it could be. But then I realized we were in the same place, but we weren't we anymore it was me and a few cats.
Wait, cats?! For a moment I wondered if I was still dreaming but that doubt was crushed as one of the cats, a pretty white and black girl or shecat, stood up and TALKED.
"Hey guys what was... AAAAAH!" She screamed.
It sounded like Madison!
"Mae? Paisley? GUYS!?" She got louder and sounded as scared as I felt.
"Madison?" I asked
"Whoa! Is that you Mae?"
"I think."
"Um your a cat..." She broke off in horror and confusion when she attempted to point at me and saw one of her paws.
"I'm a cat too!?" She asked
Leave it to Madison to freak out.
"I think we are either dreaming or...
Yes we are cats." I decided, it felt much to real to be a dream but my thoughts were interrupted when the other cats woke up.
"Uh, what's going on?" Said a cat.
"Ok guys apparently we are all cats but we don't know who's who sooo... Well, just get in a circle and we'll go around and say our names. I'll start". I said.
"You all know by now but it's me Mae."
Next a light gray and black cat is Mikaela Marshall.
Madison is the pretty white and black cat.
Paisley is the brown cat with tabby swirls.
And lastly mikayla meese. She was a grey blue cat with very blue eyes
"Sooooo... What do I look like?" I asked.
"Well just look in the pool". Said Madison.
So I looked.
If I was a person I would think we were adorable! we were all about kit age, and very fluffy. If i had to guess i would say we were three months or so old. I dont know how i knew but i did.
So I was cream color with brown paws, ears, and spots.
We now knew what we looked like and were more or less oriented so we decided to pick a direction and walk. As we walked some of the things we pasted felt like I had seen them, or something similar but I couldn't tell what. I couldn't give it any thought because at that moment, we were found. By a patrol of cats!
"What are you doing on Windclan territory!?". Demanded a fierce looking Tom cat.
"Windclan!?" I thought. I looked at my friends and could tell they were thinking the same thing.
"Uh, we... Well, you see we're lost and we hoped there would be some one, er, cat around to ask." I said as politely as I could through my fear.
"Calm down Gorsetail!" A pretty shecat yelled. "Their just kits!"
"Furzepelt! They WILL be run off the territory!" Said another Tom cat.
"Please weaselfur! Let them stay! We could..." She was interrupted.
"Are you a traitor Like Crowfeather?!"
"No... "She whispered.
"I just thought..." She trailed off.
He turned to us." Get off our territory! When we hesitated, he screamed. NOW!"
We ran, faster than a car it felt like. Until we entered some trees.
We were just catching our breaths when I heard voices.
"Bumblestripe! Lionblaze! Come here I found some... KITS?!"
A shecat looked at us in surprise.
I was too winded and scared to realize who these cats really were. This is lionblaze for cryin out loud! This is thunderclan territory!
Lionblaze and Bumblestripe arrived and looked at us in total awe. Then I thought of a brilliant idea to try. We needed to be in a clan so we needed to act vulnerable. I couldn't tell my friends the plan but they were smart and would catch on. We were already scared to death.
The shecat began to speak.
"Hello kittens how did..." I cut her off
"Please don't hurt us!" I squeaked at her, which annoyed me to no end but i DID sound like a other cats already drove us away and we don't have anywhere to go! "
After my experience I actualy started sobbing!
The shecat looked at the toms.
"Let's take them to camp."
"Cinderheart, we don't know if this is a shadowclan trick or..."
"You think they would send innocent kits out into the forest like this!?" "Besides shadowclan is on the other side of the territory! And they don't smell like ANY clan! "
"Alright, we'll let bramblestar deal with it." Bumblestripe said.
"Thank you! " She yelled.
We just looked at them.
"Come on kits we are taking you to thunderclan. " Said lionblaze
