"I'm so FURIOUS
!" I yowled as I entered the underground cave.
"Why?" Bramblenose asked.
"Firestar asked me personally
if I wanted to be a warrior because Graystripe told him about the rabbit I caught. And guess what? Jayfeather still
said NO!" I exclaimed.
"Really?" Bramblenose asked.
"Really!" I shouted, anger burning my pelt and making it feel as if it was on fire.
"Okay, how can you live with that?" Bramblenose exclaimed.
"I can't!" I told him.
Do I really mean that?
It suddenly struck me. If I can't live with that...
"I need to run away!" I suddenly cried.
"WHAT?
" Bramblenose screamed.
"Yes! I need to run away! I can't live with that, so I shouldn't have to! I can start my own
clan! And then, I can be a great
warrior!" I was practically jumping with excitement.
"If that is so, then I'm coming with you! I will admit it, I miss clan life. But I can't even think
about going back to Thunderclan!" Bramblenose decided.
"Great! We can leave tomorrow! I can sneak some traveling herbs out of camp, and we can eat them here, and then catch some prey. Then we can eat that
, and we can go!" I said.
"Okay! You'd better go and get some sleep, because you'll need to be ready for tomorrow night." Bramblenose suggested.
"Okay. I will." I said, and began to pad towards the tunnel out of the many tunnels in the cave that lead to Thunderclan territory.
I cautiously slid my eyes open.
Good. Jayfeather was fast asleep. I grabbed the traveling herb poultices that I had made when no one was looking and had stuffed behind my nest.
I peeked outside the medicine den. Berrynose was on guard.
How am I going to get past? He'll probably be wondering why I have traveling herbs. He's bound to suspect something!
I then noticed the dirtplace tunnel was quite nearby.
Maybe I could slip through there...
I quickly tip toed over to the dirtplace tunnel and ran out into the forest.
"Mouse dung! Now I stink of poo!" I cursed.
"Okay. Now that we've had the traveling herbs, let's hunt!" I decided.
"Good. The sooner we get going, the better." Bramblenose said.
I lead the way out of the cave, and felt a cold wind whip my fur.
I spotted a plump vole scuffling around in the dead leves on the forest floor. I crept towards it, leaned forwards, prepared to leap, and...
Pounced!
"Good catch!" Bramblenose commented.
"Thanks." I meowed around the vole's dead body.
We sat down to share the vole, and once we had finished it, we set of on our journey. At first it was easy, because I was used to the area we wre in, however, the deciduous woodland soon turned to rolling hills.
When we reached a small hollow, full of soft moss that would be perfect to sleep in, Bramblenose told me:
"We'd better stop here for the night."
"Okay. Can we hunt? The journey has made me starving!" I pleaded.
"Alright. I'll check through the bedding while you hunt." Bramblenose decided.
Once I had hunted, eaten, and Bramblenose had sorted out the bedding, we settled down to sleep for the night.
I wonder what's going on at camp? Have I been missed? Oh well, it doesn't matter.
But as I curled up beside Bramblenose, I knew that it did matter.
I raced through the thorn tunnel that lead to camp, blood pounding in my ears.
"Help!" I screamed, glancing behind me to make sure that the rest of the evening border patrol, including Rainpaw, Berrynose, and Lionblaze, were keeping up.
"What's wrong, Mudpaw?" Rosepaw came bounding up to me.
Wait! Mudpaw? I must be in Mudpaw's body like I was in Rainpaw's body! Hang on! This is the evening patrol! It's still night though! This must be the future!
"F, ff, fo, ffo, FOX ATTACK!" I cried.
"What?!" Toadpaw yelped, following his sister out of the apprentices den.
The rest of the cats in the clearing started panicking. The warriors not in the clearing ran out from where they were.
"Back in the nursery, Bluekit and Fernkit!" Daisy called to her kits, her eyes wide with fear.
I ran up Highledge to Firestar's den.
"FOXATTACK!" I warned all at once.
"What in Starclan?" Firestar questioned.
"Attack!" I heard Swiftpath cry the battle call.
"Hurry! We must help our clan!" Firestar ordered.
As I ran back down, I saw Rainpaw trying to fight off a fox all on his own. I bounded over to him to help.
"RAINPAW!" I screamed, taking a slash at the fox's eye, but it was not a smart idea, for two other foxes came to help it.
"We're outnumbered! Help! Help!" Rainpaw screamed to other warriors, but they were all busy fighting their own battle.
As the foxs closed in on us, my paws began to tremble.
I huddled closer to Rainpaw, I said:
"This is it, brother. This is the end of us!"
I snapped open my eyes.
"Bramblenose!" I hissed.
"Huh? What is it?" Bramblenose murmered.
"I have to go back home!" I told him.
"Why?" Bramblenose asked.
"I had a dream that foxes will attack camp and my brothers are going to die if I don't help!" I explained.
"Oh, um... okay." Bramblenose mewed, sadness clouding in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go!" I told him.
"Okay. But it's alright." Bramblenose assured me.
"Bramblenose, I love you. But I feel that I am meant to be a clan cat." I told him, reading his thoughts as easily as if he had just said them out loud.
Mosspaw, you can't leave! I love you too! We could start a family, have kits, and so much more! Please, don't go!
"Mosspaw, I have been thinking, I don't actually mind being in Thunderclan, and I feel, that I am meant to be with you
. I coming with you to join Thunderclan once again."
"What? Really? You'd do that all for mebe
a clan to return to." I told him.
Once again, we traveled over the hills and through the large forest, back to Thunderclan, where I knew I belonged.
Once I started to smell the faintest scent of Thunderclan, I broke into a run.
"We're almost there! Let's get back as fast as possible." I decided.
"Good. I can't wait to see some old friends. Yes, let's get back to camp." Bramblenose agreed.
I rushed through Thunderclan's territory, aching to be back at camp.
"Attack!" I heard the faintest call of Swiftpath, echoing throught the trees.
"Hurry!" I cried, worrying I would be too late.
Bounding through the camp entrance, I saw a blur of foxes and fighting cats filling the stone hollow.
"Help! Help!" I saw Rainpaw screaming with Mudpaw close beside him.
"There are my brothers! We must
help them!" I told Bramblenose, who was already bounding towards the foxes surrounding Mudpaw and Rainpaw.
I followed him, jumping onto the back of one of the foxes. I pummeled at it with my powerful hind paws, and I found a strenth I never knew I had.
The fox rolled over, trying to get me off, but in vain. I was prepared, and I slashed at it's face before grabbing the fox's tail between my jaws and sending it yelping out of camp.
"Good work!" Bramblenose commented, before launching himself at the last remaining fox that had tried to kill my brothers. I followed, and we soon sent it scurrying away.
The last of the foxes were clearing out of camp now, and I then realiosed that I had fought without getting a single scracth.
I whirled around, making sure there were no more foxes in the camp.
Face it, Mosspaw,
I thought, The battle is over.
"Mosspaw! You were amazing!" Rainpaw bounced up to me, but shied away when he saw Bramblenose.
"Wh, who, Who's that?" Mudpaw stuttered.
"Mudpaw, Rainpaw, this is Bramblenose." I told them.
"WHAT?" Rainpaw exclaimed.
"Bramblenose? As in, I mean, Bramblenose?" Mudpaw asked.
"Yes." I said calmly.
"Mospaw! Come over here!" Firestar called.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I now know
that you are meant to be a warrior." Firestar said.
"Really?" I asked.
"May all cats gather under the highledge for a meeting." Firestar called.
Murmers of confusion swept around camp.
"I must say, that one of our apprentices, Mosspaw, simply must
be a warrior." Firestar said.
"Mosspaw, from this day on, you shall have Poppyfrost as your mentor."
I was beaming with happiness. I stepped forward to touch
