"Perhaps it might, but lets hope it doesn't. We wouldn't want to make Winter's job any more difficult."
"Perhaps it might, but lets hope it doesn't. We wouldn't want to make Winter's job any more difficult."
"Yeahhh." She said sternly, glaring at the tom.
Blaze only shrugged and looked up at her with ashamed eyes, "Sorry."
"You guys are weird.." Lyon laughed, moving a little ways away form them.
"Anyways, you guys ready to go?" Ashpaw stood up and stretched.
"Ready like a hare." Blaze muttered, getting up and heading towards the entrance. Lyon looked around quickly before following.
"Alright." Ashpaw padded towards the entrance to the camp, nodding to the guards politely. He lifted his nose and the air and tried to pick out Riverclan's scent.
"We're just hunting." Ashpaw heard Blaze say to one of the guards, "I'll bring you back a mouse." The guard nodded and let him pass.
"We need to hurry." Lyon whispered, walking through a patch of ferns.
Ashpaw nodded, setting off at a quick pace. "I'm not sure where Riverclan is, but we can find another clan to help us get back. They'll probably be surprised I'm alive."
"They'll probably surprised we exist." Blaze said, glancing at Lyon. "The same as the camp."
"Yeah… I think that Windclan's this way. We'll head there." Ashpaw limped through the underbrush, able to make out Windclan's border after a minute or two and stepping inside it.
Midnight had fallen and the bugs where coming out. Watching as the clouds floated over the moon, the little party of three jumped a stream and found there way onto a nice flat spot on which they could look over the whole meadow.
"Definitely Windclan… No other clan has meadows like this. I think I know where their camp is." Ashpaw made his way to the Windclan camp. "Hello? I-Is anyone here?"
Silence……
(They're at the gathering :P)
"Dang it… it's full moon! They'll all be at the gathering. Come on." Ashpaw trotted towards the little island, hoping he'd make it before the gathering ended.
"Do you think the clans will take us?" Lyon asked nervously.
"Of course they will. You'll make strong warriors." They made it to the island and Ashpaw started on the log. "Careful, this thing can get a bit slippery." He got to the other side and sighed in relief when he saw there were cats there. He was exhausted at this point, and collapsed at the edge of the clearing. Some of the cats spotted him and gasped, calling the others for help.
"Shi-ooootttt." Blaze muttered, freezing on the spot, Lyon had to push him forward before he fell into he water.
A warrior came to help Lyon and Blaze, pulling Blaze out of the water and to the island. Ashpaw looked up at the cats surrounding him, his vision blurred. He could vaguely hear talking around himself. Is that Ashpaw? Who are those cats with him? What's that on his leg? Is he hurt?
Out of all the cats, only one stepped forward. "Ashpaw!" Said the voice filled with worry. The black cat rushed forward and began franticly licking him, "Where were you? Were you attacked? Who are your friends? Where are they from? What happened to you? Do you now what happened to Thunderpaw? Did someone kitnap you?"
(Oakfur)
(Lol kitnap. I love it)
"M-Mom?" Ashpaw looked up at Oakfur. "My friends are from a camp away from here… and… a-and Thunderpaw… h-he's gone, mom…"
"Yes I know, I know honey…" She soother, "I, I- I'm sorry."
A red tom then came up besides Oakfur and di the same as her, "We'll take you home, and so as your friends." Said Redclaw.
"N-No…. Thunderpaw's… he's really gone mom…. Leopardpaw got him." Ashpaw groaned, pushing himself up on his forepaws.
"I know." She whispered again, "We found him…"
(He did tell her what happened, tho)
"And it was all over Leopardpaw a-accidentally knocking me off of some ledge… t-that's how I got this…" He gestured to his injured leg.
"But who took you? What happened to you?" Redclaw asked, lowering his orange tail.
"Um, a group of cats found me and took me. T-They wouldn't let me leave… so I escaped with Lyon and Blaze."
Ashpaws father eyes the two new orange toms, "They're rogues aren't they?"
"Y-Yes, but it wasn't good for them there. I helped heal them. Can… are they able to join Riverclan, father?"
"You, or they, have to ask Foxstar." He said, taking a step back and looking up at the great tree that the leaders sat on, Foxstar, the leader of Riverclan sat there, staring down at Ashpaw like a hawk. Icestar of Windclan was besides her and Shadestar of Shadowclan was seated on another branch a little ways out, Houndstar of Thunderclan was the only one standing up right besides Foxstar.
Ashpaw dragged himself to his paws and looked up at Foxstar, bowing his head politely. "B-Begging your pardon, Foxstar. Um, would… would you be willing to take in Lyon and Blaze? They are strong warriors, and looking for a better life."
