The Rescue Quest

Prologue
A black tom with white paws, and a group of four other cats moved, tracking a single scent. The scent of Clanmate who had been kidnapped by a Twoleg. On the very day they set out, five cats got a message from Starclan. A message that made their blood get cold, yet a determination burned in them.

''Five cats shall answer the call Of the five clans they each come all Shadows shall fall to ice or fire To save the Clans in danger so dire A secret revealed in a single last stand Death to come in a storm’s final end''

I hissed again as Misty lapped at a particularly sore spot. ”I’m sorry for being such a bother” I rasped out, numb after a harsh beating. ”No, it’s alright” Misty soothed, and soon I was okay enough to play with the kits. I liked them, especially Aurora, who was adventurous as a Clan kit. A pang shot through me as I thought of my sister’s betrayal. I was trapped in a Twoleg nest as a kittypet. I batted disgustedly at the collar the Twoleg had put me in. There was a shiny rock that jingled when I moved, that Misty explained as a ”bell”. I looked out the clear unmelting ice that Tree had described as ”glass”. There I could see the forest, a faint haze on the orizon. I tried to get out of here every day, but the toms always beat me up. I looked out, thinking, pleading that Sootpaw would come for me. But he had been mad at me, maybe he was even glad I was gone. ’No’ I shook my head firmly. He would come for me, right?

I sat up in my nest, wondering why I was surrounded by different Clan cats, and why I was outside. Then I remembered. We were on a quest to rescue Moonpaw, with Goldpaw, Birdpaw, Blazepaw, Sootpaw and me. Sootpaw was the apprentice who had asked us to come with him, and now we were traveling out for Moonpaw. ”I’ll check our surroundings” Blazepaw, my sister, announced as she quickly flew upwards, into the sky. Goldpaw gave a sneeze, and shook his head, muttering something under his breath. Birdpaw was sitting by herself nervously. I always wonder why she is so nervous and shy, but Birdpaw never tells. Sootpaw was up waay earlier than us, and is impatiently waiting for us to go on. I know why. He has a crush on Moonpaw, but he refuses to acknowledge it. ”There’s a barn ahead of us, but it’s too far away to reach by night, and the cloud are getting darker. We should find another place to stay” Blazepaw yowled from above. Birdpaw jumped, and shook herself, getting onto her paws, while Sootpaw immediately started off, leaving us to pad after him.

We were starting off for the barn Blazepaw had seen, and we saw it far off into the distance. Sootpaw kept running forward and sit, waiting for us. Suddenly, there was a sharp screech of a bird, and with an earsplitting yowl, Blazepaw plummeted from the sky. It seemed that Blazepaw had attacked an eagle attempting to carry us off, and had succeeded in chasing it off, but got injured in the task. ”No!” Seapaw shrieked, and dove for her just as I leapt up and grabbed Blazepaw by the scruff. Seapaw banged into me, and we went rolling, bowling over Sootpaw who let out a startled squawk. We stopped with many groans and hisses of pain, and Seapaw mewed ”Blazepaw, Goldpaw, are you okay?” I muttered ”Seapaw, get off me” just as Blazepaw hissed from beneath me ”Yeah, otherwise from an injured wing and being flattened by you two, I’m perfectly fine” She said sarcastically. ”Oops, sorry” Seapaw mewed sheepishly, and we disentangled ourselves. I found myself face to face with Seapaw, who murmured softly ”Thank you for saving my sister” I felt my face turn slightly red, and we sat up to see Sootpaw laughing his head off. ”Shut up” Seapaw and I muttered, our faces both bright red.

My face still red, I padded over to Blazepaw who was sitting awkwardedly, pawing at her wing. ”What’s wrong?” I asked, worried. Blazepaw mewed ”The stupid bird plucked one of my feathers, so it hurts like crazy, like one of my claws is gone” I winced, and Birdpaw padded over carefully with a pawful of herbs. ”Horsetail, for her wound” Blazepaw and I looked, startled
