 * You have to read Transformer to know what's going on. It's only six chapters. Not my fault! Forest  paw  1  3

Chapter 1

 * I stared, astonished. All I could think of to say was, "No, I didn't!"


 * "Nobody was there but you. Nobody has any proof," Brackenclaw pointed out.


 * I stared at him. "How do you know?" I asked, with the uncontrollable faint snarl in my voice.


 * "Because we only have the word of the WindClan cats," Brackenclaw mewed.


 * "Mudstar told us herself," Runningfoot informed me. "She came here. She looked really angry. She said that the next time she sees you, you're going to-"


 * "Never mind what Mudstar said," Birdheart mewed, interrupting Runningfoot. "We're going to have to keep Waterpaw here for the Gathering tonight, so we don't start a fight."


 * "Knowing WindClan, they're going to start a fight anyway," Runningfoot muttered.


 * "Wait," I began, not sure what to say, "you were going to let me go to the Gathering tonight?"


 * "No," Gorsestar mewed. "Not after... what happened."


 * I knew it was almost time to spill.


 * "I ran into RiverClan cats, and their leader, Stonestar," I commented.


 * "Were you in their territory?" Goldfoot asked, snarling.


 * "Yes," I confessed.


 * "Why?" Gorsestar demanded.


 * ''Time to spill," I thought. I took a deep breath and mewed, "I got captured by Twolegs."


 * The Clan was silent.


 * "They captured me, but I escaped easily," I added.


 * Stormpaw broke the silence. "Twolegs captured you?" he asked.


 * I nodded. "I just said so, didn't I?"


 * I retold the entire tale starting from when the Twolegs had found me. I went on to say that they put me in a large moving metal contraption. I skipped the part about listening in and said, "When they checked to see that I was okay, I escaped."


 * Goldfoot looked surprised. "You were gone for three days."


 * Woah. That surprised me, and I couldn't control the stumbling backwards that caused me to bump into the cat behind me.


 * I whirled around, expecting to see Mudstar, but I only saw a ThunderClan cat.


 * I stared at him, and he stared at me. "I'm Redpaw," the cat mewed. "I got apprenticed while you were gone."


 * I looked at him. He seemed nice enough, so I mewed, "Nice to meet you."


 * "Have you met my sister?" Redpaw asked. His voice sounded strangled.


 * "No," I mewed.


 * "Her name is... is..."


 * "Waterpaw!" Gorsestar yowled.


 * I whirled around, expecting Gorsestar to be angry.


 * "Go to your den," he sighed.


 * I nodded, grabbed some fresh-kill, and went to the den.


 * Redpaw followed me. "I'm Redpaw," he mewed, sounding strangled again.


 * "You already told me that," I informed him.


 * He looked surprised, then settled down next to me. He watched me eat my fresh-kill, and then mewed, "Do you want more?"


 * I shoved the remains of my thrush aside. "No, thanks."


 * Redpaw seemed to stare at me for a moment, and then he hesitantly licked my flank.


 * I stared at him. "What are you doing?" I asked.


 * "Sharing tongues," he mewed. He licked my flank again, and then he started to clean me.


 * I sighed and cleaned him, too. He likes me," I reminded myself. That's a first.''
