Bear

(Quick word on the dark ones. They originally weren't even in this, but they are in a story I'm actually trying to get published. So I thought it would be an interesting touch to put them in here. And now I can't get rid of them obviously.)

The mountain cats clambered down under a waterfall. Death Trap and Dinosaur followed. They live under a waterfall? Weird. Death Trap thought. It also might come in handy. It would be so easy to shove someone off into the water. . .

The three mountain cats entered a cave. A black cat came up. "Light!" he looked behind her. "Who are these two?"

"That's what we have to tell Stone Teller about Shadow." Light replied.

The black cat, Death Trap figured he must be Shadow, nodded and called out, "Someone get Stone Teller!" someone did go.

They came back with a brown cat; then again, most cats here were some shade of brown or another. Dinosaur fit in well. "What is it Shadow? And who are these two?" he asked suspiciously.

Light, looking pissed off, gave Shadow a little shove out of the way. "We found them. They claim they're from the clans."

"That have been recreated." Eagle added. Death Trap couldn't tell if he believed it from the way he said it. "And they wanted to see what happened to the mountain tribe."

So this is a tribe. Death Trap thought. Good to know.

Stone Teller seemed to be thinking this story over. "Well, as you can see, we are fine. Better than the clans themselves were."

Death Trap nodded, looking upset, because a real clan cat would be.

Stone Teller gave a nod. "Since it must be a long journey to the clans, you can stay here for the night. And then you can go back and tell the clans about us." He went back deeper into the cave.

There was a short silence. Then Crack asked, "So, can you tell us about the clans?"

"Yeah. Are they the same as before?" Shadow wanted to know.

Death Trap didn't know much about the clans, but neither did these cats. That made lying easy. She shook her head. "The new clans are called Stormclan, Moonclan, Fallenclan, and Lightingclan. I'm from Lightingclan. Dinosaur is from Stormclan. And some of the old things changed so we won't end up dying off this time."

Most of the cats seemed to believe this, except Eagle. He narrowed his eyes. "The clans never struck me as the type to change their rules."

"Well, that was long ago." Death Trap replied. There was a tiny bit of hiss in her voice, enough that made Eagle back off.

Crack, oblivious as always, said brightly. "This is so exciting. I didn't even know the clans were real."

Dinosaur smiled. "Well we are. And it's exciting for us too."

Death Trap let out a short sigh of relief. He's catching on about lying. The cats broke into conversation around her. She meanwhile, was trying to figure out where they were. This was close to where the dark ones were. Supposedly. I guess that makes this easy. Once everyone is asleep, me and Dinosaur can find them, release them, and get out of here.

Spring walked into the forest, still upset over Winter.

Of course the main danger of the forest was more rouge groups. Few dared to go into the old two leg place, and Spring could hardly blame them. The two leg place was dangerous, it was always falling apart. But rouges weren't the only danger in the forest. And she was so distracted by her anger; she didn't realize the danger until it was too late.

She walked through some bushes and froze. There was a huge bear, like there was any other kind, standing there. The bear would never have come here when the two legs were alive. But that was way long ago. And it wasn't looking at her. Spring followed its gaze; there were two other cats there. Summer and Autumn! "Summer," she muttered, only moving a small side of her mouth. "don't make any sudden mo-"

Summer shrieked. The bear charged towards her. Or maybe lumbered was a better word for it. That gave Spring time to dash forward. She pounced on the bear and yanked its ear. It swatted her off with its giant paw. She rolled away, the breath knocked out of her.

Autumn had shoved Summer away and the bear charged after them. Spring gasped, getting air back into her lungs. She jumped back up and ran after her sister. The bear was getting close to them, it opened its mouth and would've eaten Summer, but that was when Spring jumped in between them. The bear bit into her.

Out of corner of her eye she saw Autumn push Summer into the bushes. But her vision was going dark. The bear tore into her stomach and chest. There was a crunch.

The bear dropped Spring's thoroughly dead body, the siblings never figured out why it didn't eat her.

(Ugh, this chapter is not long enough. I'm sure there will be some longer chapters in here when the action starts.)
