Chapter 19
Today, this chapter will be told in Deli's POV! And for chapter 20, it's either Moonfire, Regnantstorm, Terror, or Keeper. Please vote in the comments! So, bye! Also thanks for Keeper for writing the last chapter, and Kaly for inspiring me for this chapter!
Deli was laying on her back next to the nursery, white belly up. I miss Zeldastar, does she miss me? I like Zeldastar, she's really cool! Does she like me? Suddenly Fogkit poked the cream and white she-cat in the belly. Deli grunted, but smiled when she saw the cutie. "Hello sweetie! How are you?"
Fogkit blinked and smiled. Deli giggled. "Do you want to play moss ball with us? Foxflame's kits are too small, but your fun, Deli! Mama is too busy fussing over the new kits, and we're bored!" He cried.
"Ok! How do I play?" His sister, Blossomkit, came padding over to them. She licked her paw and drew it over her ear.
"You toss the moss ball, and we catch it, it's not that complicated," she giggled. Deli flattened her ears in embarrassment at her stupid question.
"Well you be a-a…" What the word again? Warrior! "An excellent warrior when you grow up," she purred. Blossomkit puffed out her chest in pride, eyes twinkling. Fogkit scowled.
"What about me!" He mewed. Deli giggled, and noticed one of the kits was missing. She saw Wrenkit snuggled up to his mother, little chest rising and falling. Awe, little mother's tom.
"Of course you're going to a great warrior, Fogkit! As will your brother!"
"I will be the best warrior!" Blossomkit yowled, tacking her brother. Both kits started to tackle each other and play fight. Deli laughed, and started to pad away. I guess no moss ball then! She started to head over to the black cat's den. What was his name again? Shadow-something? Whiskershadow!
She ran into the small cave-in, vines dangling over it for privacy. For a temporary home, they did pretty good! But this place is still gross and smelly! When Whiskershadow came into view talking next to a small fluffy, black she-cat. "Is this is a bad time?" I need to tell him that's I need to visit my home!
"Yes of course, just hold on for a moment," he sighed. "Runningbreeze please be more careful next time! You almost died just reaching for that catmint!"
The other black cat, Runningbreeze, only snickered. "I had to get that catmint! Leaf bare is just around the corner, and we need all the catmint we can get! Crowtalon has already started coughing!" She retorted. Whiskershadow sighed and nuzzled her.
"I'm sorry, I just care about you as if you were my daughter, if something happened to you, I would be crushed," he purred. Runningbreeze laughed and licked his ears. "Now go treat Crowtalon, he's strong and we can.t afford to loose him," Whiskershadow warned. The hyper she-cat nodded, and then bolted away.
He finally turned his attention to Deli, a smile across his face. "Whiskershallow, I just wanted to say that I need to visit my old home. I have a few friends that know about clans, they would want to join this clan! They've always wanted to live in the wild."
"First of all, Whiskershadow," he said, quite annoyed. "And why should we let them join the clan?"
"Well… Fluffy is quite keen and agile, and every time her mother, Snowy, get angry she can fight as well as a warrior," Deli smiled. Whiskershadow looked confused, and then nodded.
"They seem fine enough, but it's Zeldastar who will make the final decision." He shook his pelt. "But go to them, and take a warrior with you." Deli thanked him before bounding over to the only warrior she knew, Skyflower. The gray she-cat was mooning over a brown tabby tom with a white chin.
"Can I help you, Deli?" Skyflower asked sweetly. Deli nodded and explained her situation. Skyflower nodded and got up after touching noses with her mate, who's name was apparently Timberfrost. "I'll be back soon, love."
"I'll be here, and be careful!" The tabby tom warned, eyeing Deli. Her fur fluffed up in protest. She heard Skyflower whisper, Don't worry she's just a kitty-pet. The gray she-cat led them out of camp, smile on her face. I'll show you I can be brave- Oh my goodness what the hell is that?! Deli bristled at the sight of a dead bird, it's feather's bloodied and smelling of burnt wood.
Skyflower giggled slightly. "It's probably been run over by a monster, it's ok." It was gross!
…
Deli led the them through the two-leg nest, knowing every turn. "Are we going the right way?" Skyflower asked, paranoid by all the stuff usual to Deli.
"Of course! I did grow up here you know!" Suddenly, two white shapes came into vision. Snowy and Fluffy! Deli started running to them, feeling nostalgic. My friends!
The smaller white she-cat perked her ears up, but when she saw Deli, she immediately came running to her side. "Hello Fluffy! I've miss you," she purred. Fluffy purred back, rubbing her pelt against hers. The other white she-cat glared and hissed at Skyflower. "Don't worry Snowy, that's Skyflower. She's a friend!"
Snowy walked up to Skyflower, inspecting her. "You're incredibly beautiful, and Skyflower? Interesting name, WAIT! You're a clan cat," she cried, bouncing on her paws. Snow started to fall, making Deli shiver. My thick pelt should protect me! Ugh, cold season is the worst!
Fluffy shook her snow-white pelt, showering Skyflower in cold snow.
"I love leaf-bare because it's so beautiful, but hate that my paws will freeze and fall off!" she mewed agitated. Deli nuzzled the gray she-cat's cheek, warming her. Skyflower quickly shook her pelt, just as her brother had. "Anyway, we're here to ask you to join Memoryclan. There is a cat named Terror. He and his group took over some of our territory, and we will take it back!" She yowled triumphantly.
"Of course we'll join! Our life is boring right now anyway, right mother?" Fluffy said, eyes pleading. Snowy nodded excitedly.
"Great! Let's go home!" Deli said leading them home. When no one followed her, she turned around to stare at them. "What's wrong?"
"Um, Deli? Wrong way," Skyflower mewed quietly. Deli felt her hot prickle with embarrassment. I should probably learn my home!
"Ok this way!" She cried, leading them the right way finally. She heard muffles of laughter along the whole way. I'll never be able to live that down!
