Information:
This is set after The last Hope, however that whole thing with the Dark Forest never even happened. They were blocked the moment Brambleclaw killed Hawkfrost. Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Dovewing still have their Powers and Hollyleaf is still with the Clans.
Summary:
One day Firestar, Blackstar, Mistystar, Onestar and Leafstar disappear from their clans. Everyone is shocked, even StarClan. Three moons later, the clans follow them to a place where they have to learn to survive. A bid City. Not just that, but they all get turned human. Can the Clans find their leaders and a way home?
Firestar gave a groan when he slumped down on a bench. Two weeks had passed since he'd been allowed to leave the hospital and now he had to train hard to get his body working again. It was a tiring process only with big success on the long run. Each day seemed longer than the day before.
A warm hand was placed on his shoulder and a bottle of water held in front of him. Firestar glanced up through the ginger bangs of his hair and smiled tiredly at the blonde female in front of him. Sandstorm had barely moved from his side ever since she'd come to him at the hospital. Only for Connors' hearing she'd left him alone. Sandstorm had no idea what this really was about and so she'd accepted to stay back at the penthouse till the group of five leaders returned. Well, that and hiding her cat-ears would've been practically impossible and keeping them open would've been against quite some rules.
With a smirk Firestar recalled Connors' face when the judge had presented the sentence.
Flashback
"…and that is why the court decided for this sentence, for Jerry Connors, 43 years. Jerry Connors you are sentenced to life-long imprisonment, in addition to aggression-classes."
Firestar glanced over at Connors from where he sat between Onestar and the prosecutor. Connors face was a deep shade of red in his anger, but his eyes were wide and glassy in shock. His lawyer only gave a tired shake of his head. Everyone had known from the beginning that Connors was guilty. Firestar felt pity for this poor soul who had to defend Connors in front of the court.
Suddenly a chair clattered to the ground and Connors leaped over the table in front of him.
Firestar leaped up instinctively, but Onestar grabbed his arm and held him back. Growling Firestar allowed his muscles to relax, but pressed a small button on the communicator hidden on his suit. "Take aim", hissed the ginger-haired man.
Every policemen and –women in the courtroom followed his order and pulled out their guns, ready to fire should Connors try anything. Connors lawyer back off slowly. It was silent for a long while, then Firestar straightened his shoulders and called loudly: "Seize this man!" Immediately a total of four policemen came forward, surrounding Connors. The criminal gave Firestar a cold glare the whole time, till he was out of sight. With a deep sigh, Firestar moved to turn off his communicator, but hesitated.
"Stay alerted", ordered the ThunderClan leader softly, then he deactivated the communicator.
A wave of tiredness his Firestar and he swayed a bit.
Onestar grabbed his arm once more and asked: "Are you alright?"
"Worn out", admitted Firestar and shook his head to clear it. "How long did the clearing take."
He and Onestar had started to walk out of the courtroom. "Only an hour actually", stated Mistystar, who stepped towards them with Blackstar and Leafstar at her sides.
"Seemed longer to me", answered Firestar and leaned against his friend, who didn't protest at all.
"We should get you back home", offered Leafstar, her yellow eyes blazed worriedly.
Firestar gave a nod in answer and together the five of them left.
End of Flashback
"What are you thinking off?"
Firestar blinked when Sandstorm's voice cut through his thoughts. He looked up at her and gave a soft smile.
"I was remembering Connors' hearing, nothing more Sandstorm, don't worry." The female gave a warm smile in return and sat down next to him. She leaned her head against his shoulder and Firestar buried his nose in her hair. Inhaling deeply, he relished in the familiar scent of his mate. It was a true pleasure to have her so close again.
Firestar was still on, forced, holidays. The leaders had decided to use those though. It would take Firestar at least three more weeks to get back to, more or less, full strength. Then the other would make sure they got free as well and they all, including Sandstorm, would pay a visit to the clans to find out how to get home. It would still be a long time before they'd return to the clans, something that made Firestar edgy, but he knew there was no other way.
"Are you done for today?"
Smirking Firestar kissed Sandstorms forehead and answered: "I guess so, why?"
"I'd enjoy another visit to this park, with you."
With a laugh Firestar remembered how excited Sandstorm had been one day upon her return from the park with Leafstar and Mistystar. Later, after Sandstorm had gone to sleep, the two female leaders had explained why the ThunderClan Queen was so elated. They'd wandered through the part of the park where more trees grew. The moment they'd mentioned this, Firestar had understood his mate's elation well. The trees in this part reminded him very much of ThunderClan's territory as well.
The covered good a fifth of the very big part and ended at a lake.
"Let me get a shower and some right clothes and we can go", answered Firestar. Sandstorm nodded and stood up, pulling him with her. Firestar chuckled amused, but allowed the female to drag him to his room.
I'm sure some expected a great court-chapter and I apologize for disappointment, but I really have no talent for such scenes, I tried often already. Again, Sorry.
