Chapter 20

Oh wow! Thanks Ashes for no comments, really makes me happy L I'm just kidding, but more comments would be nice if it's not too much to ask. And since no one commented, I chose Keeper for the POV. But yeah, enjoy the chapter and please comment guys, I would really appreciate it J And let's all give Keeper (the person not the flying cat) a round of applause because she beta's so many chapters and this one! Bye lovelies. -Majesty

Keeper padded around Frost's camp, taking in everything one last time. She walked over to Frost, who was grooming her long, white fur. She turned to face Keeper, purple eyes sharp with a retort ready. Her gaze relaxed once the black winged cat sat across from her in the wilted, but still comfortable grass. "Can I help you?"

Keeper nodded. "I want to thank you for allowing me to stay in your camp, it was an honor to meet you," she smiled slightly. Frost started at her, puzzled.

"Was? You mean you're leaving?" She questioned, eyes narrowed. Keeper nodded and stood up. Frost quickly jumped to her paws and held her paw on the black cat's shoulder. She shook her off, eyes sharp.

"Frost, I'm leaving. Thank you for your hospitality, but I'm destined to be alone, and it will stay that way. Forever and now," she snapped. Frost scowled.

"Where are you going?"

"Frost, I'm meant to be alone, and I want to stay that way. I need to live life on my own, feel the wind rushing through my fur." She answered calmly.

"Fine, leave then and-" Frost's sentence was cut off by Majesty yowling.

"FROST! We have to leave camp, now!" The dark ginger she-cat yowled. Frost ran to her friend's side, purple eyes blazing. Outside the camp, a raging fire crackled.

"What happened?!"

"Two-legs! One of them poured strange yellow water on a tree and then set it on fire!" Majesty yowled. Frost scowled.

"Get everyone to the hill near the river, Keeper go with them! Help me save my cats then you can go waltz around on your lonely expedition!" She snapped. Keeper scowled, but didn't disobey. The jet black she-cat ran off with Majesty to find Frost's cats.

Two small kits mewled as their mother hunched over in a fit of coughing. "Mother come one!" The brown tom kit cried. Keeper scooped him in her jaws while Majesty grabbed the other kit and helped the mother.

"Come on! We have to get them to the hill! Keeper, give me Mud, go get Max! He's our wise cat, he's still in his den!" Majesty cried, pushing Mud onto her back. She thrust her nose to Max's den, a tangle of roots, near the entrance. Easy, grab the flea bag and get out! Frost's pelt was all ashy and covered in soot as she directed the last of her cats to the hill.

Keeper ran into the roots to find Max's ruffled, mottled pelt, eyes glazed over. She grabbed him by the scruff and dragged him out of the flame's reach. Please don't be dead!

Once everyone was at the hill, Frost, Majesty, and Keeper checked all of the cats. Everyone had made it, luckily. Max was the only one in bad shape, only because he he swallowed too much smoke. He had strongly long claws, and very sharp teeth.

Keeper watched as Frost stared into the distance, watching her camp get engulfed in flames.

"Everything I had, had lived: is gone. My home," she whispered, sadness filled her tone. "Those stupid two-legs ruined my home!" She snarled, tearing up the earth with her sharp claws. Keeper awkwardly pat her shoulder with her paw, trying to comfort her. Frost glared at her through the angry tears pooling in her purple eyes.

"They ruined my home, everything is gone!" Suddenly a cat with dark amber eyes and a ginger pelt with black ear tips, tail tip, paw, and a white chest appeared a few feet away, suddenly rushing towards them. Keeper got into a fighting position, lip curling revealing her sharp teeth.

"Who is she?!" Frost whispered, voice strained with emotion and anger. "She moves like a fox!" Frost stood her ground next to Keeper as the cat walked up to them, eyes darting from cat to cat, neared them, creeping forwardly slowly like a clumsy dog. What a strange cat! She doesn't look dangerous though.

"Hi. Yip, yip, yip. I yip. See fire, want to bark help cats bark cause yip bark with the scratchy eye hurted my yip yap! I not allow bad bark yip me family, if helped cat help family, yap bark!" Keeper nodded. Ok all she said was, Hi, my name is Hoyttaler. I s-saw fire and want to kind of help small cats maybe because the cat with the scratch over his eye hurts my family. I will not allow the bad cat to hurt my family, and if that means saving you, then so be it. Keeper whispered the translation to Frost.

The white she-cat relaxed slightly. "Oh, hello. Yes, my camp burnt sadly, but what are you trying to say?" Frost demanded, a littler harsher then intended.

Hoyttaler flinched and barked at them. "Bark snarl! Yip! I try help cat. I bark place call bark, bark! You wanted Hoyttaler to yip yap you? Bark yip cat scratchy eyed bad!" she shuffled her paws, eyes stern. Keeper nodded again. This time she said, I'm trying to help you cat! I know place called…Memoryclan. You want Hoyttaler to help take you but only if you help me and family take out scratchy eyed cats

Again, she whispered the translation to Frost, who flicked her ears and sniffed. "We need all the help we can get, might as well have her take us to safety. We'll help you take out the scratchy eyed cats, but can we trust you?" she hissed.

Keeper jabbed Frost in the ribs. "We should have her help us, there was some cat in the camp she's talking about, his name I think is Whiskershadow, but I'm not sure. But he uses herbs and undergrowth to heal cats, maybe he can help you?" Frost scowled, but nodded stubbornly. She thinks they don't need help, but just because we're special, doesn't mean all of them aren't hurt. I have a burn on my muzzle!

"I no trust cat if bark yip trusts me! Yip bark me and family bark bad cats. I love family more bark yap. I helped cat if cat yap yip." Hoyttaler smiled hopefully. Keeper looked at Frost, who nodded sadly before returning to her cats.

"Thank you, Hoyttaler, we can't thank you enough for helping us. We will defeat the scratchy eyed cats, and your family will be safe," she said quietly. Hoyttaler bowed her head and walked over to a puddle and lapped at it eagerly. Keeper smiled and chuckled at Hoyttaler, who was drinking like a dog. Well at least it's my normal now with the cats I'm with. And I know the cats she's talking about, Sanguis. The cats that killed so much of the gray cat's group. We'll help them, then I can be alone forever, just the way I like it.
