Chapter 6

Escape the danger

Leopardstar pov:

I hated it at Windclan; I only get half of a rabbit every day. I wonder how Mistyfoot is doing on her journey to 'Skyclan'. I've been stuck in this rotten cave for almost a quarter moon. It should be any day now that I leave Windclan, but then I have to go to Shadowclan. I'll just sneak off when Windclan puts me in their territory! "Leopardstar, at sunhigh tomorrow we are going to give you to Shadowclan." I was awoken from my thoughts when Tornear spoke to me. I politely nodded and was thinking again. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw another cat from a different clan in Shadowclan. I was tired so I curled up on the grass and fell asleep, 'snore'.

Mistyfoot pov:

'Yawn' I woke up and was stiff from my fall out of the tree. I promised myself that I would move on in the morning so now or never. I heaved myself to my paws and stretched. I howled at the agonizing pain as I stretched. I scented a new smell; it was like cats and trees. Kind of like Thunderclan except with a hint of river. I rushed forward as fast as I could which wasn't too fast. I heard voices and crept toward them slowly. I peered out from behind a rock and saw what looked like two mentors and their apprentices. I found it, I found the lost Skyclan! I'll wait until dark then sneak to where the scent is strongest. That would be the camp so I politely wait where I smell herbs. All medicine cats are friendly so I won't get my face clawed off by her. Then she will take me to the leader and I'll talk about my journey and stay with them for a moon. Perfect, I just need to rest some more first. Snore'.

Leopardstar pov:

I awoke with a fierce shove by the guard. I looked at the sky and it was sunhigh, I heaved myself to my paws and stepped outside. I followed Tornear to Tallstar and said farewell. Tallstar called over Onewhisker, Deadfoot, and Crowpaw to lead me to Shadowclan. We were almost there when I heard my belly growl and asked to stop by the river. "Can we stop by the river, I'm starving?" "No." I sadly padded after the patrol until we got to Shadowclan. We patiently waited for a patrol to pass. At sundown the bushes rustled and three cats came out. "Hello Onewhisker, Deadfoot, Crowpaw, and Leopardstar. What brings you to our territory right now?" their stares were intense and no matter how friendly they tried to seem, I knew that the cats were angry. Deadfoot answered first; "we caught Leopardstar trespassing on our territory and after a quarter moon in the dungeon we decided to pass her on to Shadowclan." The Shadowclan patrol leader nodded and signaled for me to follow them. Oh no! I thought, Shadowclan is the meanest clan in the forest.
