Sooooooooo… Yeeeeaaaa… Hello?
Silentivy- Wow. Did you really just make that thing?
Fireclaw- Oh. My. God.
Tinyone- Dear god.
Robinwing- Lord help us.
Echopaw- (Face paw)
Dawnpaw- Ok. I give. What's u- Oh.
Starfire- WHAT IN STARCLAN IS THAT?
It's my …erm…failed attempt at a clay modal of a … Thing?
Silentivy- You know what? Let's let the people read the story while we think of getting you a therapist.
Fireclaw- Good idea. REVIEW!
Before any of us could react, there was a flash of dark brown fur as Duskpaw pushed Echopaw away from the badger. He turned and hissed at the badger.
The badger, not giving up on his prey, batted Duskpaw away and charged after Echopaw again.
All of a sudden, a great black wolf rammed into the badger, knocking the badger to the ground. I whipped my head around and realized that Fireclaw was not standing next to me anymore. I groaned mentally, as I turned back to the fight. Oh, well. Might as well give her some help.
I concentrated, and I turned into a grey wolf with silver eyes.
Really? Did you have to do that, Fireclaw? I asked in thought speak. What? It was the only thing I could think of! She defended herself. This is stupid. Lets finish it and get back to cat form before someone else comes along. I said. Ok. Lets do this thing! You get way to much pleaser from beating things up.
And so, we charged.
The poor badger never had a chance. We moved swiftly and silently, disappearing into the shadows, only to reappear right in front of it. But, there was something different about this badger. It was only aiming for Echopaw and Dawnpaw, who had appeared next to Cinderheart at some point or another.
They managed to doge its attacks, but then they made one fatal mistake. Dawnpaw dodged left instead of right, and ran into Echopaw, sending her flying into a tree while the badgers paw smacked Dawnpaw.
DAWNPAW! Fireclaw, still in wolf form, yelled, and attacked the badger with a renewed effort. I was seething with anger, but instead of attacking the badger like Fireclaw, I ran over to Dawnpaw and picked her up by the scruff. I carried her over to Cinderheart, who stared up at me in shock. It was then that I realized that I was still a wolf. Oops. I gently put down Dawnpaw and ran over to Echopaw, who was being tended to by Duskpaw.
I nudged Duskpaw aside, who started at my form. Yeesh. Guess we're going to have to explain all this to them, aren't we Fireclaw? I sigh. … I hate you… Why did you have to go showing everybody your form, Silentivy? She yelled at me. Eyes on the fight! I shouted right back as the badger charged again. Fireclaw batted him away. I mean, couldn't you have waited! Well, sorry! I couldn't just leave Dawnpaw and Echopaw to die, though, could I? Duck! Fireclaw ducked under the badgers paw and slammed into its belly, sending it reeling back. You are making this needlessly complicated! Watch out for the flying tree branch! I jumped over the tree branch the badger had knocked my way, and grabbed Echopaw. We will finish this later! I yelled, my voice muffled by Echopaw's fur. FINE! NOW CAN YOU HELP ME OUT? I set down Echopaw in front of Dawnpaw. Coming, mother! Don't you get all smart alicy with me, missy! And so, we charged. Again….
We beat up the badger and it ran away, sporting some new cuts and a shortened ear. And now, for the hard part. I sigh, as if I hadn't just fought a giant badger away.
We went over to Lionblaze, Cinderheart, Sparrowpaw, and Dawnpaw, who had already woken up, and changed back into cats.
"What- how-huh?" Sparrowpaw said intelligently. "H-how are you able to turn into wolves and cats?" Dawnpaw summed up what everybody was thinking at the moment.
I looked at Fireclaw, who looked back at me. I shook my head and pointed my tail in her direction. She pointed at herself with a desperate look on her face, and I nodded smartly. She sighed and began telling them about our shape shifting.
"Well, you see, we were born with the ability to shape shift. (A/N What? No depressing backstory? That's unheard of! Just wait. It gets better.) Our parents were part of a clan that was born with the power. My mother was born to the clan, but my father wasn't. They met, fell in love, got married, and had me. I was born with only half the power. Silentivy, however, was not born with the power. Well, she was, but then, she wasn't. She when she was born, her power got out of control, so her parents sealed the power inside her, never to be found. There are more shape shifters in Thunderclan. Tinyone, Robinwing, Gizmoclaw, and Grassblade are all shape shifters, each with their own story. Tinyone was born with the power, as was Gizmoclaw. Grassblade had a story similar to my own. Robinwing's is closer to Silentivy's.
Our parents were close friends, and they proudly showed off their babies, us. However, Silentivy was a third born, and she was seen as a freak in the clan's eyes. Her parents ignored her for the most part. Robinwing was close to Silentivy for a long time, and then one day, she just… disappeared. The day after she disappeared, men came to our homes, demanding we hand over our powers. When our village refused, everyone was slaughtered, and our families were not spared. Silentivy's older sister, Hunter, died trying to protect her family and Silentivy. Her older brother, Sun, was taken away and never heard from again. Then they rounded us up, we were all about 5-7 at that time, and sent us to a prison. There, they experimented on us. They put stuff in us that made us feel like we were going through torcher. Finally, I snapped. I just couldn't take it anymore. I planned a great escape at the age of 13. I told everyone, and the plan was put into action. Tinyone was always the youngest of us, by about 2 years, and by the time he was 13 we finally managed to escape. We ran into the city and hid for about 2 years. We got jobs and we earned enough money to buy ourselves a house. Silentivy was the oldest, and when she was 17 and I was 16, Grassblade pulled us out into the forest, and was joined the clan. The rest is history." Fireclaw finished.
They were silent for a moment.
"So you spent around 10 years in that prison?" Cinderheart asked.
I nodded my head.
"Hey, can you change yourselves into your original form, the one you were born with?" Duskpaw asked us.
I exchanged a look with Fireclaw, who nodded back at me.
"Sure, kiddo." She said.
We changed into our original forms. No, we were not humans.
I was a black wolf with black fur hanging over one eye. The ends of my bangs were green and so was the tip of my tail. I had one green paw and silver eyes.
Fireclaw was a half white half black wolf with one black wing and one white wing, with a ying/yang symbol on her forehead. She had golden eyes.
"I am the earth wolf." I said clearly.
"I am the balance wolf." Fireclaw spread her wings.
I heard a shocked gasp and a rustling in the bushes.
I turned my head to see the horror struck face of Whitewing.
Dun, dun, duuuuunn! What's going to happen next?
Silentivy- You can find out by reviewing!
Fireclaw- Yes, because Chaos is the most amazing author ever!
Echopaw- And she is totally not holding us at gunpoint to read off of this script!
THAT'S NOT IN THE SCRIPT, ECHOPAW!
Echopaw- Yes, it is. See. (Hands me the script.)
(Holds up gun.) Oh, Dawnpaw, were are yoooouu?
Silentivy- Review to pay for Dawnpaw's hospital bill, because apparently, Jayfeather is now charging people!
