Sky's blue and teal eyes scanned the forest over the horizon. A sharp sigh escaped her. A whistling wind buried deep into her fur, pressing it flat against her body, then reversing, ruffling it back toward the woods. Almost as if it was dragging her into it. She flicked her ear. Acting like the wild cats she had heard storied about, she closed her eyes and pricked her ears. She could hear the muffled sound of water streaming through the forest, trickling onto rocks and weeds. She smelled a slight scent of fish and the fresh, cleanliness of the running water. Her paws sat perched on the wooden fence that kept her inside the two-leg place. Cooped up, looking at the same things every day. Smelling the same thing everyday, and feeling the same way every day. She longed to set her delicate white paws on the forest floor, dig her claws into the soft Earth, feel the water lap at her long, silky fur, and hear the breeze sing a lullaby to her.
Sky turned to the sound of paws landing on the ground before her. She jumped over the fence she was perched on, and landed on the other side of her two-leg nest, into the field that stretched all the way to the woods. "Hello?" Her soft voice rang. She thought she heard those paw steps. Feeling slightly crazy, she turned to jump back over. But the sound of more steps drumming the ground right behind her made her swing around. "Who's there?"
She scanned the field, forest in the backdrop, unmoving. Something flickered across her view, starling her again. but she didn't move. She could pick out a tall shape more nearer the middle of the grassy plane. It was only an outline, with silver spots curled into it's fur. "Who are you?" She breathed. Suddenly, she blinked and it was gone. She felt sorrow rush over her, until she realized it only vanished further back. Closer to the trees behind. Her paws started to move her closer to it, curiosity pulling her body toward it. She picked up to a trot, almost running toward the body. The closer she got, the more it faded away. "No, come back!" Sky wondered if this is what the forest cats looked like. Merely an outline. Slowing down the look for it, she thought she heard the scuffling of paws further on. she continued to pace after it, curious as to what it was. Looking forward as she ran, she jumped at the sound of a twig crackling under her paws. Startled, she looked around. Anxiety swept over her as she realized she was lost in the forest.
Head, tail and ears low, she crept as quietly as she could through the undergrowth, trying to remain unsighted. Her white pelt probably showed out in the shadows the blackened trees casted. Sky was still determined to find the creature that has lured her into this place.
"Come," Sky jumped. That wasn't her that said that. Frozen, unable to move, she sat looking for the source of the voice. She tried to ask, 'Who said that?' But nothing came out. Whispers around her made her fur prickle. They grew louder and louder. Sky had enough, she began to run. Sharp sticks and twigs scratched her, and pulled clumps of her fur out as she sped on, not caring. A thorn or two pierced into her paw pad. Panting hard, she stopped again. She heard more voices. Real ones this time. She smelled more cats. They smelled different then the cats back home. They were the wild cats. She squeezed into a small crevice under a stone, and waited to be found.

Rainstar padded out of her den, she shook her pelt in ready of a knew day. She stretched, bending down allowing her mucals to stretch. Her mucuals realaxed as she pulled her body forward. Rainstar nodded a greeting to a few warriors padding in with plump prey held in thier jaws. Kits played around thier mothers dozing off in the warm breezey air. The sun beamed across her pelt warming her fur. She started threw the thron tunnel. It took Rainstar a moment before ajusting to the darkness. Rainstar came across a loose limb, the sun dappled the tunnel from the gap. "Well that needs to be fixed." Rainstar veered around it. When she reappeared from the dark tunnel the sun greeted her making it hard to see.
A large black figure apeared, Pantherclaw, his deep voice made Rainstar shiver, "Greetings Rainstar." He dipped his head and kept going when a thought sweeped over her.
"Oh Pantherclaw!"
THe black warrior turned with ears pircked.
"Would you gather a couple cats to fix that loose limb in the tunnel?" Rainstar flicked her tail at the dark tunnel. "I meant to do it my self but never got to it." Pantherclaw dipped his head and disapeared threw the tunnel. Rainstar padded forward, Where am i going? Why am i out here if i dont know what im doing? Rainstar looked around, shadows hid in every corner. Even the sun couldn't cover the since of the black claw that feared every cat. Something was pulling her, telling her to come, carrying her paws forward. Rainstar froze, black rushed over her like waves. Rainstar suddenley found her self feeling trapped. She looked around despreatley trying to find something, someone.Rainstar shook her head, trying to gather her thoughts. A dark lifeless forest lay infront of her. The tress seemed to take in her every move. She listened trying to find a breeze, any scent of somekind. Nothing. A battle cry inturupted her. Rainstar jumped from the silence. White pelts rushed by her, they seemed to glow as if starclan was by them. Hitting her from both sides leaving her dazed and confused. Rainstar lookd after the cats noticing they weren't running from something...but too. Black figures rushed torward the blazing white pelts. Their eyes gleemed red as flames of darkness. Rainstar scretched panic rushed over to her, I have to help Starclan! Rainstar rushed forward trying to catch up with the White Glowing cats. Her legs burned but it was if she never got any where. Rainstar only semmed to be getting farther and father from helping the cats defet the evil.
Life rushed torward her, Rainstar fell to the ground as all her engergy pushed into her at once. The sun burned her pelt, the wind seemed to push her back to her paws. "Wha-?" He head spun making it hard to regain her balance, her legs burned with fire. Rainstar tryed to speak but a knew scent flooded over her. "Who?" Rainstar followed the scent carried by the wind. It lead to a rock. The leaves were rushed moved from the panic of an eascape. Rainstar flicked her ear.
She crouched her head bent. Rainstar waited a moment as her eyes ajusted to the darkness. "Who Might you be?" The question rung in her mind as a White pelt with two glaming eyes staired at her. "Hello?"
occ: hehe i wrote more! ;D

occ: I love it!
Cought. Being cought was he worst thing that could happen right now. She thought about the forest cats. How the stories of them back at the two-leg place would make her fur crawl. The other cats used to tell her about the time they went into the forest. Cought a mouse. Saw a starling. Sky hadn't seen anything. Nothing but tall looming trees and big rocks. She hadn't seen of cought a whiff of any kind of mouse or bird from her time being here, even if she was running for her life through the darkened funnels of foliage.
Sky would have to face this demon. If it was the last thing she did. And it probably will be, She thought to herself. Sky cleared her throat almost silently. She thought of a game plan quickly. If the cat attacked her, she would turn and try to run back to her house. There has to be a way out.. No. No, I'll turn and fight if she tries to fight me. Sky felt her small claws dig into the soft Earth under her. She thought of ways to make herself look intimidating. Nothing came to mind. she never thought she would have to look intimidating. She swallowed deeply. She flicked her ear. Slowly, she slid out of her hiding place. She knew she looked like an idiot, her usually white fur covered in dirt with burrs tangled in. She felt the mud that was plastered onto it seep through to her skin. This had to be the worst time in her life. Second to seeing her dad die.
"I am here." Sky told the forest cat, eyes closed. She was very aware of her legs shaking under her, creaking with the effort to keep her standing up. Beads of sweat lined her face. Her voice cracked as she spoke. Slowly, Sky opened her eyes. A rather long furred female cat looked over her. Her muscles were visible under her fur, even through her fur was rather think and long. She was at least twice the size of Sky. Her blue eyes searched her like daggers, Sky hesitated. Should I run? something inside told her no and kept her legs locked in place.
The she-cat smelled of the fresh water she scented back at her nest. Her fur was neatly groomed for what she pictured for a wild cat. Sky searched the cat over and over. It was all so strange, so different. Her attention snapped back to her eyes as she remembered where she was. She locked her multi-colored eyes with the larger cats' eyes. Sky felt as if she would die, just by standing there. [/size]

Rainstar watch the small kitty pet look over The Riverclan leader. Rainstar raised one eye, "If your thinking that im going to eat you. i'm not." Rainstar held her head high, "You soft bones are too light to pick my teeth with." Rainstar flashed her large white teeth at the inrtuder, "So what make you think that you can walts right into my territory." Rainstar shook her head. "If youwere a little father along Wildstar would have gotten you and would have killed you in an instant." Rainstar walked around the dirty she-cat. Her fur tangled around burs and leaves. "You look like you've had a tough jouerney through Rivercan territrey." Rainstar sat in front of the soft she cat. Her thick frred tail lay over her soft furred feet. "Your not as well groomed as the other kitty pets i've sen."
Just then The flash of the vison reappeared but when her legs burned the Cats seemed to become closer just enough for her to see a glems of one of the cats, It's teal and green eyes turned t look at her. Telling her...
Rainstar snapped back in to realalitey. Rainstar whipped her head at the White cat with two other eyes, "Come with me!" Rainstar turned to leave but stop and turned to see the kitty pet to fallow, "We don't bit." Rainstar flicked her tail, "Much."

Sky jumped back a step. Then she saw the smirk on the cats face after her words. Pick their teeth..... With bones?!? She took a few deep breaths and tried to relax. Her gleaming teeth took Sky aback, making her feel out of place.
She remembered her not-so-well groomed pelt. "I, er, ran into a few problems on my way here." She tried to sound like she'd been there a lot. Maybe she'd spare her. Skys different colored gaze flickered to a twig to her right, then back to the grey cat. After that glance, she looked even larger. Sky took a deep breath. After the cat spoke some words, she froze. Her legs shook as if she had seen something important. Something life changing. Sky wanted to scream, 'What? What is it?' But she remained still, although a curious gleam lit in one of her eyes.
The cat told her to go with her. "Go?" She said in a quiet, soft voice. "Go.. With you? Where will you take me?" A thought interrupted her words. Sky could just see her being ripped to shreds and mixed with mouse meat and eaten by the forest cats. Maybe they would set her as bait.. To catch other cats and eat them! At first, Sky was reluctant to follow the larger, more massive and ferocious looking cat. But things could passably end up worse if she didn't. Hesitantly, Sky swallowed hard and felt her legs buckle under her. She pulled them up and took one paw step closer to the she-cat. then another, and another. Finally she was half padding half slugging after her, scared as to what she would find behind the next boulder, tree, or bush. [/size]

RAinstar started padding to the camp. Her paws tingled with curiousily. Then she remembered something, I seen more than one cat with this white cat...Maybe there are more who can save us! Rainstar suddenley burst into a run, "Hurry up two-leg pet i don't have all day!" Rainstar looked back, the kitty pets soft life was soo much different from ours. Rainstar slowed her pace to a slight jog. Rainstar turned her head, "hurry up now. i have someone i want you to talk to." Rainstar finally came to the camp. The thorn tunnel seemed less darkened by the shadows. "Be careful. My clan mates aren't so fond of outsiders." Rainstar began her way into the shadowed tunnel as she queezed her way thew she looked back. "when we come in stay close to me so they don't get to hostiile." Rainstar made her way through the tunnel and final to the end and stopped to wait for the white kitty pet kit.

Sky's paws drummed against the forest flood as she struggled to keep up with the cat. She felt to alone as she sped ahead. Sky panted heavily, her tail was strung out behind her, her paws hit stones and twigs hard with effort to keep going strong. The scent of the water only grew stronger. She tried to smell for other things, but all she couldn't smell anything because of ehr clumsy running. She was curious, but wanted to get home. Her owners were probably worried. She thought about turning around right there, but kept going. This could be interesting, to learn about the wild cats. maybe this cat was going to take her to her den! She kept running, entregity making her not give up. she rounded a small corner and saw the cat slowing for her. she cought up with that. A large tunnel of thorns guarded what was behind it. She swallowed hard and stopped beside the hurrying she-cat. Who do you want me to speak to? I dont have anything to do with your life! You've never even seen me before! [/size]

Sky hesitated. I'm coming!! I'm coming! Her joints screeched with the effort of having to haul another step. The forest was a treacherous place, and that was for sure. Sky panted, trying to cool herself down. She caught up with the she-cat finally. She followed her through the thorn tunnel and into a wide space. "This is where you live?" Sky was struck by looks from what seamed like thousands of cats. More cats then she'd seen in one place ever! She looked around, mouth agape, at all the diverse cats. Some small, some larger, some younger and some older. She also noticed all the rude looks she was getting from them. Taunts and hissed rose up. She heard "kittypet!" And "Loner!" And "Rouge!" Everywhere. She had never heard those names, so she didn't know what they were calling her. But they didn't sound too happy about it. She saw a cat that looked like she just had kits rush a few tiny bodies into a bush nearby. A few younger cats curiously sniffed her. Sky looked to the grey cat that lead her here for help. [/size]

Rainstar stared down at the small she-cat, "You can't let them intimidate you. They'll make you prove your loyalty to the clan." Rainstar started for the medicine cat den. "I will be back in one moment. And remember what i told you." Rainstar Padded through the entrence to the den. The tunnel swirled around her with darkness. before rainstar made it to the end she called to the cream colored she-cats

"You can't let them intimidate you. They'll make you prove your loyalty to the clan."[/color] What loyalty? What was this cat thinking about? Proving something to these cats was the last thing on Skys mind. She almost acted as if.... as if she wants me to join them... Sky felt a shiver surpass down her spine.
However, Sky did what the larger cat told her to. She definitely didn't want to get punished this far away from her home. Her owners would be missing her so very deeply... More angry and sharp retorts jarring 'Kittypet!' Rose into the air, it snapped her attention back to the real world. Sky wondered if it was all a dream, and she would wake up in her comfortable nest inside the two-legs home. Something told her it wasn't.
A shorter furred white she-cat with blue eyes walked past her. Her icy eyes stabbed into Skys, making a torrent of fear inside her. This she-cat, along with all the other cats here, or most, was as big as the grey one. She swallowed hard. The white she-cat looked at another cat. "What was Rainstar thinking, bringing a kittypet into the clan. Especially when the times are so harsh." She spat. The other cat nodded and walked on with her. They talked. Sky felt venerable. she searched to the area the cat went into, called Rainstar. Such a different name....
She heard the grey cat call to a different one. A smaller, more delicate multi-colored one appeared. Sky could smell the den she came out of from where she was standing. It smelled of grass and medicine, like the cutters would give her when she came. She wondered if there were huge sharp needled inside the den.... That made her shiver too. She awaited for the two cats to come over there. Sky tried to look noble and big. Nothing seamed to work. [/size]

Rainstar padded over the the two-leg cat. She seemed taken back by the deputys reaction to her. Rainstar flicked her ear in disapointment. Rainstar turned her head back to the small white she-cat, "Come with me. I do not want very cat spatting at you when i need your full undivited attetion." Rainstar turned as Pantherclaw padded by.
His dark shadow loomed over the small she cat, "Another stray? Or is this one just wanting to be my tooth pick for the day?" he knew of the stories other cats told about the forest cats. Pantherclaw like to keep the stories passing through the two-leg gardens because it kept them out of Riverclans territory. Pantherclaw was bigger than Rainstar, but he still respected her more than any one.
Rainstar turned and snapped her jaws, "Pantherclaw, i sugest you find some better to do besides torment other cats!" Rainstar shook her head, "And when you do, tell hailstorm i would like to see her," A growl rumbled into her throat before starting for her den.
Rainstar padded to the back of the den, the darkness covered her pelt so only her ice blue eyes glowing like two moons showed through. Light shined through a stray owl hole that was abanded from the warriors chacing it away, the light shined to the opening of the den. Rainstar waited as the Little white she-cat padded through.

Sky stared in awe at the huge tom, he was bigger then the grey one, called Rainstar. Why was she taking her here? I don't want to be a toothpick!
Sky felt honored as the grey cat stood up for her. Her fur lay flat as she began to calm down. She followed the cat into her den. A faded light flittered into the dark, confined area making Sky feel small and helpless. she wondered what would come of her.
Hailstorm saw Pantherclaw coming by. "Is this about the little she-cat who came through here?" She asked, not even looking at the tom. She began to sit up. "I guess I'll go check it out...." She huffed as she padded to Rainstars den. "Rainstar," She meowed as she sat down. The snow white she-cat was beside her. She could scent her obvious fear as she trembled under the two other cats. [/size]

Rainstar looked torward the entrence as her deputy padded in and called her name. Rainstar flicked her tailfor her to come forward, "I had a vison from starclan, well i dont know who, but i had a vison. that in the dark forest, there is going to be a war. Starclan and the darkforest are going to battle and four white cats and four dark cats are going to battle." Rainstar looked into Hailstorms eyes for awnsers. "In the vison i seen her. fighting for Starclan" Rainstar locked her cold eyes on the small fluffy she-cat.

Sky was scared. Fighting? she thought. For who?
Hailstorm flicked her tail, an studied the she-cat. "Shes a kittypet! A toy for two-legs." she spat. "Why would she be of any honor or help of StarClan?" She asked her leader, eyes now locked on her. What is she thinking? A kittypet! Rainstars finally gone crazy. StarClan would never have intentions for a kittypet to be a warrior for StarClan! [/size]
