Chapter 1: Where am I?
I woke up freezing cold. I grunted in anger. Of course, it was probably five-thirty, so I had about half an hour of sleep left. I reached over my body for the covers. Where are my they? As I groped around groggily for the warm fabric, I felt something soft and furry on my body. But if my covers are over me, why am I so cold? I opened my eyes and leaped up. I was in a forest. I tried to get a balance on my feet but failed miserably. As I picked myself up, I realized that something was heading towards me. As the crinkling of leaves and the shaking of ferns reached my ears, I realized that this was to vivid to be a real dream. Then, three cats burst out of the undergrowth.
"Oh my-" I screeched. The cats were massive. Like, mountain lion massive. I wanted to black out from their appearence, but I forced myself to stand up. But the second I started to get to my feet, one of the cats, a brown tabby with piercing amber eyes, padded forward. Funny, I thought. He looks just like Tigerstar or Brambleclaw... Then I thought of what might have happened, and I prayed to God it wasn't true. To my astonishment, the tabby spoke.
"What are you doing on Thunderclan territory?" he snarled. I looked down at myself before responding. just as I had thought, I had the lithe, muscular body of a cat. I must have looked like I could inflict wounds, because the other cats, a ginger she-cat with glowing emerald eyes and a gray tom with a dark stripe along his back, looked at me warily.
"I did not know you were here," I said, but the words were catching in my throat. To be true, I was terrified. I wanted to turn tail and run back home, but Brambleclaw (If that was him) and the others would run me to the ground. So I decided to play nice. "If it is your wish, I will leave."
"Brambleclaw" looked stern. "I don't think so. You're coming with us, to see Firestar." My heart leaped into my throat. So this was Brambleclaw, and since he was leading the patrol, he must be deputy. So the real question is, when am I? I shook the thought away and nodded. I didn't want to speak because I knew that if I did, my voice would sound like a little girl's. Brambleclaw spoke again. "Squirrelflight, Graystripe, make sure he doesn't escape." Squirrelflight and Graystripe nodded.
As we padded back to what must have been the Thunderclan camp, I thought about my current situation. Three warriors were taking me to the heart of their territory. I had thought that there had been fear in Brambleclaw's eyes, so that gave me a clue. Since warriors didn't always bring rogues into their camp, I could infer that Sol had visited Thunderclan recently, putting me in the book Eclipse. I shook my head. How had this happened?
Suddenly Brambleclaw padded into a thorn barrier, and I knew I was nearing the Thunderclan camp. I padded inside, and my heart stopped.
There were so many cats! More than I'd seen in my life, which was longer than most of theirs. I realized how much danger I was in. I could very well have my throat ripped out. I was reassured by the fact that Firestar was a leader who preffered driving cats off, not killing them. I looked at myself again, this time studying my new body. I was a silver tabby, with bright streaks down my chest and belly fur. I found a puddle and glanced in it. My muzzle was streaked with silver marks, and I had ice blue eyes. I realized I looked just like my warrior on Fanfiction, Jaggedscar! To add to my certainty, a long, jagged scar ran down my foreleg. Brambleclaw had dissapeared over a tumble of rocks, which must have led to Firestar's den on the Highledge.
"Who are you?'" A voice came over my shoulder and I turned around. A white she-cat with blue eyes was staring at me curiously. But before I could respond, a flash caught my peripheral vision. A flame-colored tomcat had leaped onto the Highledge. My heart crawled into my throat as he spoke.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!"
Ooooh, a cliffie! and a real good one, too! Sorry for the readers and fans of The One, but, as the summary says, I have writer's block right now, so it is on hold. If anyone could tell me how to switch out of script format, I would be happy since this is apparently against the rules of FF. PLEASE R&R BUT NO FLAMES!
