Chapter 5
Trouble ahead
Leopardstar pov:
Ha! Mistyfoot must think I'm still with her on this journey to find the so called Skyclan. I better not waste any time thinking; I left a clan without a leader or deputy. But I'm starving; I need to catch a fish. Wow! That's a lot of fish hurrying away from where Mistyfoot is. So my plan is to wade in the river and when I see a fish pounce on it, kill it, and toss it on shore. I got 7 fish; I should eat them all so all of Riverclan will be jealous and ask me to take them there. I just love evil plans, moohahahahaha!
Mistyfoot pov:
There's no trace of Leopardstar anywhere. I think she tricked me, I am so dumb. She probably cut through the trees and went back to Riverclan. Well, someone has to make the journey and that someone will be me! I will keep going until I find Skyclan's lost home. Hmm, if Skyclan lives in the sky the first place I should look is on a high cliff. Hey, I see a cliff over there! Awww, there aren't any cats around here. Skyclan might live in the trees! I see lots of trees in that forest. The tallest tree is this way. I should go right and after the rock that looks like a bunny the tallest tree will stand. I'll go over my route again; go right until the bunny rock and done! So there's bunny rock and the tallest tree is here. Whoa, that tree is ta-all. I once saw a Thunderclan cat climb a tree and they jump onto the lowest branch. Then they keep on going upwards until they couldn't go up anymore. This is harder than I thought, I cannot stop though. I am finally at the top of this tree, no Skyclan, sadly. I bet Skyclan can fly, that is how they got their clan name. If Skyclan can fly, then so can Riverclan. We're all cats and I don't think the any forest clan has tried flying yet. I do not know how to get off a tree so I will copy Skyclan and fly off the tree. 3, 2, 1, JUMP! "AHHHHHHHH!" I can't fly, I was wrong about Skyclan. I hit the ground with a bone-jarring thud.
Leopardstar pov:
I saw Windclan, almost at Riverclan. I had just thought about what the patrols would do if I got caught. I imagined them keeping me prisoner in their camp for a long time. I crossed the moors and after about half way I saw 3 cats rushing down to catch me. I hoped they wouldn't see me so I crouched down behind the heather. I recognized Tornear, Deadfoot, and Crowpaw. "Who's there?" I pressed myself down further hoping that the Windclan cats wouldn't see me. Crowpaw bounded forward and easily found my hiding place. He called to the rest of the patrol to come over. "Leopardstar, why are you on Windclan territory?" Tornear growled. "I'm crossing back into Riverclan, let me pass." "No, you're coming with us to tell Tallstar about this." I padded to the Windclan camp behind Deadfoot and with Tornear behind us. Crowpaw had already ran ahead to warn Tallstar. When I got to their camp I was escorted to Tallstar's den. "Hello Leopardstar, Crowpaw tells me that you were trespassing on Windclan territory. Why is that?" I was greeted with a frown. "I was crossing back to Riverclan hunting grounds." "You weren't coming from the moonstone so where were you coming from?" I was thinking about whether I should tell the truth or not. "I was going for a journey to get away from the clans for a while." Tallstar actually believed me. "I do not care if you were going on a long journey or not, you will be prisoner for a quarter moon. After that I will put you on Shadowclan territory to be their prisoner." Deadfoot took me to a small cave on the outside of the camp. I was left there with Tornear as my guard.
Mistyfoot pov:
I thought I broke a lot of bones when I fell out of the tree while trying to fly. At least I got down, the painful way. I was very wrong about Skyclan being able to fly. I tried to stand up and walk a few steps. I almost died; when I next see Leopardstar I will kill her. I walked about a half of a mile before my wounds started hurting. I flopped down where I was and couldn't make a nest or hunt. I would continue on in the morning, I instantly fell asleep. 'Snore'.
