Chapter Two: Family

The sun was shining today. It was the perfect picture of a sunny day of newleaf weather. The grass and shrubs that made up the territory still held a nice green color.

"Smokepaw, check this out!" her sister called, "It looks like a dog has been here!"

She sighed, wishing that her two almost identical sisters would include her for once.

"Wildpaw, stop dragging your paws and pay attention," her mentor snapped.

"Yes Dragonflame," Wildpaw put on a bright smile and sniffed the ground.

Dog. Two big ones by the scent and the destruction in this spot.

"It looks like there are two!" Shadowpaw paced the ground anxiously.

I would have said that. Wildpaw sighed as Smokepaw and Shadowpaw's chatter scared a pair of rabbits back into their den. This is supposed to be a hunting patrol! Not a check every single scent in the territory patrol!

"Shadowpaw is right," Lionstar spoke, "There are two dogs on the territory and we need to chase them off before they cause trouble. Dragonflame, Wildpaw, would you both like to scout out where they are? The rest of us can follow close behind."

Finally! Something she was good at!

Dragonflame nodded, "Come on Wildpaw."

As soon as they were out of the hearing of the others Dragonflame turned on her, cuffing her ears, "What is wrong with you today? You've had a horrible attitude all day long, you never pay any attention anything, and not to mention you've been nothing but disobedient ever since we stepped out of camp. What is bothering you, Wildpaw?"

She shrugged, "We have a mission to do, don't we?"

Dragonflame snorted, "That's exactly what I mean. Fine, you go right and I'll go left. If you find anything yowl."

Wildpaw unsheathed her claws and stalked off, her tail flicking madly.

She's not the boss of me! What a dumb furball. If I was the leader of the clan-

A nearby growl set her fur on end. She whirled around to find herself face-to-face with her quarry. And it lunged.

"Wildpaw!" a black blur collided with the dog's side, knocking it away before it could latch onto her scruff.

Wildpaw stood in shock for a moment as the dog now turned on Shadowpaw. Lionstar now jumped on the dogs back as Smokepaw clawed at one of its legs.

"Wildpaw!" Dragonflame snarled, flicking her tail in her face, "Snap out of it and help them!"

She snarled at her mentor but clawed at the dog's face. Realizing that it was out powered and outnumbered by the two warriors and three apprentices the dog was about to run away when it's even bigger companion grabbed Lionstar by the scruff and hurled him into a nearby shrub. Wildpaw growled and latched onto the dog, biting its ears into shreds. Smokepaw dodged under its belly and made a serious of sudden blows. The dog reared up but Wildpaw managed to hang on as it lost its balance. Wildpaw's vision went dark as the dog fell backwards and rammed her on the ground.

She could only hear her heartbeat at first. All she wanted to do was just lie there, not even open her eyes. But slowly the voices came to her, softly at first and then louder and louder…

"Leave her alone!" Shadowpaw cried.

The yelp of a dog made her throat tighten, but the memories still didn't want to come.

"They're gone. Don't worry," Dragonflame's voice was soft, "Smokepaw, go back to camp and get Rockpelt, Sanddust, and Sunlily. Shadowpaw, go check on Lionstar, I'll make sure Wildpaw is okay," her mentor shuffled towards her, "Wildpaw? Come on, you have to wake up!"

Wildpaw's eyes blinked open.

"Can you get up?" Dragonflame asked.

Wildpaw's eyes threatened to close as she attempted to make a sound. All she could do was lie there.

Dragonflame's eyes flashed with worry, "Wildpaw, talk to me!"

Slowly the world stopped spinning around her and she managed to speak, "I'm okay."

Her mentor's eyes closed in relief; "Stay there for a moment; don't move. I need to check on Lionstar."

Wildpaw didn't need told twice as her eyelids drooped close. She woke up again to the sound of Sunlily's voice.

"Wildpaw?" the medicine cat nudged her gently, "It looks like the hit just knocked her out for a moment, she'll be normal in the morning. Dragonflame, would you mind helping her back to camp? Shadowpaw, Shadepaw, you both go to. She can walk back on her own paws, just take it slow." Sunlily suggested as she turned to Lionstar's broken form.

Dragonflame used her body to block Wildpaw's view of the leader and slowly helped her up. Wildpaw's legs wobbled but she managed to stay standing and walk back to camp.

"Do you think we'll get our warrior names after helping to fight off those dogs?" Smokepaw asked, her green eyes twinkling.

"Sure, mousebrain, have you ever heard of nine moon old apprentices getting their warrior name?" Wildpaw smiled.

"I haven't, but it's always possible," Shadowpaw gently shoved Wildpaw.

Dragonflame whipped around, "Will you all stop your gabber? Or do you not understand that our leader could possibly be dead?"

Wildpaw flinched and Shadowpaw's ice blue eyes narrowed. Smokepaw preferred to remain quiet, instead looking at her paws. Finally the set of abandoned twoleg places that made up their camp appeared at the edge of the territory.

"Smokepaw! Wildpaw! Shadowpaw!" Ashfall ran up to them, "Thank StarClan you're alright."

"We're fine, Wildpaw only hit her head," Smokepaw whispered, "But Lionstar isn't."

He draped his tail over her shoulders, "He has nine lives, he'll return to us. Come on, you all must be exhausted. "

The two twins nodded and raced into the twoleg nest. Ashfall smiled.

"I'm proud of you. You've faced a creature that most cats your age would flee from and you walked away from it," he licked head, "You too, go ahead and get some rest. You can tell your friends about your adventure in the morning."

She nodded; maybe her now forming headache would go away with sleep, "Goodnight, dad."

The abandoned twoleg den was the perfect place for the ex-kittypets to make their home. Wildpaw squirmed through the hole in the wall and shook out her now dust-covered pelt. While everything was mostly based on the first floor Lionstar and the apprentices made their nests up on the second. Wildpaw always smiled when she saw the warriors piled up in the master bedroom downstairs. The carpeted stairs where ruffed up from apprentice and kit games and the wallpaper was hung in shreds. Clawkit and Cherrykit liked it that way. She jumped up the stairs and entered the apprentice's room. It was a dump, like the rest of the house. The nursery was the only place with an old couch for a nest. The apprentices fashioned their nests the same way the warriors did; out of old scraps of cloth from the twolegplace and off soft feathers and the occasional paw-full of moss or so. Smokepaw and Shadowpaw had already settled down in their own shared nest. Wildpaw collapsed in her own and as soon as her eyelids closed she was gone.

If one falls they fall; if they fall all will fall.

Wildpaw spun around but the darkness continued to surround her.

"Whose there?" she called. She hated the way her voice echoed back into her ears. So naïve and scared.

She unsheathed her claws, sinking them into whatever was underneath her. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt liquid underneath them. She jumped back.

If one falls they fall; if they fall all will fall.

Her ears flattened against her head, "This isn't funny!"

The liquid slowly seeped around her paws again and she backed up.

If one falls they fall; if they fall all will fall.

"Stop it!" she screeched.

If one fall they fall; if they fall all will fall.

It was chasing her now. Blood. All around her.

If one falls they fall; if they fall all will fall.

Then it was gone. A green meadow replaced the darkness. A butterfly drifted out of the clouds and landed on her nose, tickling it. Wildpaw snorted, shaking her head to get it off. A rabbit scurried up to her, its curious eyes meeting her own. Her own curiosity won over her instincts and she walked away from the rabbit, heading towards a small stream cutting through the meadow. As soon as her paw touched the water the scene shattered around her and she came face-to-face with her own amber eyes. Their owner emerged from the shadows.

"You have my eyes," was all Wildpaw could say.

Her eyes melted in front of the apprentice into a brilliant green.

"This is too weird. First a nightmare, then the dream about the meadow, and now this," Wildpaw whispered.

"So I did," the she-cat in front of her sat down.

The shadow filled landscape around them slowly began to molt into a sunlight filled forest.

"Who are you?" Wildpaw spoke up, the strength of her voice fading.

The dark gray tabby closed her eyes and her gray pelt was replaced by black.

"Shadowpaw? Shadepaw?" the she-cat's pelt now matched up with her sisters', but the markings were so different.

Once again her pelt returned to its normal colors.

"One stranger. One enemy," the gray tabby she-cat's voice wavered slightly, "Blood does not matter anymore. Family is created by bonds. Foes are created by wrongs."

A/N: How did everybody like it? Wildpaw was portrayed out of character in the beginning. She is very jealous of her sisters but you'll see what her true personality is like when she is with her friends having fun ;)

Chapter Question:

OH! AND I FORGOT TO TELL EVERYBODY WHO IS ON THE COVER! I created it myself, anime, coloring, everything. Ravenheart is the farthest left. He is based off a little kitten I saw last year while at vacation. Rabbitkit is in the middle. She is based off my new kitten, Lucy. To the right is Wildpaw, who is an OC.
