Mountains
(I still only have half a guess on what the prophecy, which wasn't right. So yeah, still excepting.)
Death Trap and Dinosaur made it to the mountains. It had taken longer to reach there than Death Trap had guessed, but that didn't matter to her. The point was they were there. "Let's go." She said. She had talked to Dinosaur on the way, not wanting to come off as too cold. That would be bad. But now she didn't care, she was too close to care.
She and Dinosaur walked up the mountain. It was steeper than she'd predicted too. That irritated her. That was when three cats jumped out of the rocks. Two toms and a she cat. One of the cats tried to pounce on her. She rolled to the ground. Her movement without resistance threw the tom off balance. She shoved her claws into his stomach shoving him off. Then she jumped back up and yanked the she cat off Dinosaur. He couldn't possibly fight two of these cats at once. The guy had no talent. The she cat swiped Death Trap across the face. "Back off intruder!" she hissed.
Death Trap staggered back. "Why do you hate intruders?"
"A whole group of intruders came here once. They left long ago, when things got tough. But we haven't forgotten." The tom she'd attacked earlier explained. He explained it rather nastily at that.
"But we're from the clans!" Death Trap insisted.
Everyone froze. For a second, Death Trap thought that would be the end of it. Then the tom hissed. "Liar! The clans are gone. The intruders moved to where they used to live."
Death Trap shook her head. "The clans did die, but Starclan found four cats to recreate them." She wanted to gag saying Starclan, but she was a good faker. "They sent us to check what happened to," Death Trap realized she didn't know what kind of group they were, "you." She settled with.
The leading tom looked suspicious, but the other tom was thrilled. "Then that's great! We should take you back to Stone Teller."
The lead tom nodded. "Good idea." He started walking, flicking his tail for them to follow. Death Trap and Dinosaur followed and the other two took the rear.
"I'm Crack by the way. Well, Crack in the Cliff Side technically. But that takes a long time to say."
Death Trap forced her-self to smile. "I'm Deathtrap. I'm in the Shadowclan equivalent." She explained when they made face at her name. "And this is Dinosaurfang."
The lead tom nodded. "I'm Eagle that Strikes Ground. But everyone calls me Eagle."
"And I'm Small Light in the Night Sky. But call me Light, you call me Small and you're dead." The she cat said.
Death Trap nodded. "I wouldn't want to be called Small either." But she was thinking Let's just get to Stone Teller already. Whatever that is.
Spring looked out the window. "Alright guys, let's hunt."
Summer made a face. "Now?"
"Yes. Unless you'd like to skip dinner?" Spring suggested. Summer shook her head. Spring nodded. "Good. I'll go with Winter. Autumn and Summer, you can go together." Considering Winter and Summer were usually terrible hunters she didn't want them going together.
The four of them left the two leg place. She and Winter went one way and Autumn and Summer went the other way. Spring sniffed for prey. Winter seemed even more distracted than usual though. "Spring?" he asked. She made a little snort noise meaning for him to go on. "What do you think that sparkling cat meant? When she said we were special?"
Spring sighed. "Winter, we're not around Summer, and I won't yell at you for not catching prey. You don't have to keep talking about that lie."
She kept moving, then she noticed Winter wasn't following. She turned around; he had a hurt expression on his face. "You don't believe me?"
Spring made a very annoyed noise. "Winter enough. Cats don't sparkle!"
"That one did! And the herb works too!"
Spring bristled. "Fine! You go chase after sparkling cats and fake herbs. I'm going to get us our meal. You know, what we need to stay alive!" Then she stormed off.
She heard Winter hiss, and he might have called after her, but she knew he couldn't catch up with her. She kept walking. That fool, she thought irritably, living in his day dreams. If we want to live we can't live in a world that doesn't exist.
(Okay, I know a lot of people are tired of the tribe, but they are in every series except the first. They kind of have to be in the series somewhere. If anyone is wondering how they lived when the clans didn't, there are two reasons. One: Part of the end of the world was caused by two legs; they live far away from that. Two: The tribe is used to dealing with problem after problem. They probably didn't even notice a difference. Oh yeah, and the rouge group that used to live in the mountains, I sort of hint at it, they become the rouge group led by Death. Which doesn't mean anything if you didn't read the first of these I wrote. Just a random fact.)
