Prologue - In my head - A cat
I don't remember what had happened very well. Everything was now a blur and each time I tried to remember, I felt this huge pain. I only had teh faint memory of hunting along the forest but now I was lied down, tearing apart a rabbit and eating it. Eating it with so much anger, but yet happy revenge.
But I wan't eating.
My body was eating, not my mind. I didn't want to eat it.
I tried to move, but I couldn't. It was as if my mind couldn't control my body any longer.
Then I suddenly felt a presence in me. In my body alongside my mind.
Someone, or something was here.
It was controlling my body, manipulating my very actions. Not letting my think clearly.
What's going on? I asked with my mind, for I couldn't move my lips.
No answer came. I felt so alone, but I knew there was something with me.
In my body.
My body stood up and smiled.
Scared are you?
The voice in my head made my heart stop.
Don't be afraid - we won't hurt you. You won't even have to watch, you'll just fade away. Leaving me in control.
My body started padding deeper into the forest.
Leaving my mind too scared to think.
Chapter 1 - Accident- Flash Of Lightning At Night
I padded around the prey-hunters looking down at the valley. It was huge and full of life, but it wasn't going to last since leaf-fall was on it's way. We were on one of teh rocky mountains that sourounded it. It was a greta honor and really awesome to be hunting here.
There hadn't been any sign of danger in moons, and there was no reason why there would be now.
"I think we should start heading back. We've caught enought prey for today," meowed Silver Star That Shines at Night.
I looked up at her and nodded, but Adder flicked his tail stopping me from turning around.
"We must wait for Wolf and Ice to come back," he meowed in his deep voice.
"Why did they even had to go wandering by themselves? I thought we had to stay together? Kind of the point of hunting in groups," I complained.
"Flash, you know how Wolf is, so stop complaining like a kit and start being more understanding." Adder That Strikes At Moonhigh meowed.
Wolf That Howls At Dawn was a very solitary she-cat that always kept to herself and prefered to hunt alone when no-one was watching. Adder wouldn't let her go alone so he told Ice That Covers Soft Ground to keep her safe, and apparantly they had become very good friends.
"I think his head is still in the to-be process." joked Dove.
"Yeah, and that's coming from the clumsiest cat in the tribe!" Isnapped at her.
"Ok enough! Let's go find them and - " Adder started but Wolf's call interrupted him.
"Adder!! Adder!!" Wolf came running calling his name.
Dove and I turned to face Wolf and Addder ran up to her.
"What's wrong? Wolf where's Ice?" Adder asked Wolf witha worried face.
"She..We ..Well I was hunting and then she fell off and landed on a rock. She's bleeding really badly and I panicked but this rogue came and he was trying to help her- but..but...Just follow me!" she meowed as she rushed through the rocky surface.
Adder didn't waste any time and followed her signaling us and the other prey-hunters to follow.
"That rogue better stay away!" Dark Cloud That Covers Moon snarled as he ran.
Dark wasn't very keen to anyone, and surely not non-tribe cats.
"No need for violence. From what Wolf said he wasn't doing any harm so hold your claws Dark!" Dove meowed losing her valance as she tripped over a rock.
I laughed a bit but kept running throught the small amount of trees, eager to find out what was going on with Ice.
"She's here!" Wolf meowed pointing down at where a pile of rocks where. I looked down to see Ice covered in blood and a gray tom with dash like stripes covering his body and putting some herbs on her and doing something else that I couldn't clearly see.
"Let's go!" I said.
"Dark! Leaf! Stay here!" Adder ordered.
Dark looked anoyed, obiously looking for a fight, but Leaf that Twists in Breeze just nodded.
I carefully climbed down the rocks, makign sure to see where I was stepping so I wouln't fall.
"Ice!" I heard Ddove's meow.
"Who are you?" Adder asked the rogue.
When I finally reached where they were I hurried towards Ice and saw the injuries taht she had. Her pelt was badly scartched, but she was still breathing. She had some gray hairs on her pelt that didn't math her blue-gray pelt-they must be the rogue's, he was putting herbs on her injuries.
"I'm Raindrizzle. I was looking for prey but I saw her fall and I just couldn't levae her there. I gave her some herbs that I thought would help her." he meowed.
"Well thanks you for that." he meowed.
"Adder!! We need to get her back to camp!! If we dont she migth bleed to death!" Ddove meowed desperately.
"Ok! Let's go!" Adder meowed as he grabbed Ice. "Flash help us!"
I padded towards them and helped them carry Ice back to the valley.
"Can I come with you? I have admired your tribe and I wish to join it." Raindrizzle meowed.
"Just what we need! Another mouth to feed!" Dark meowed.
"Well I think it's for Starwtacher to decide. Follow us." Leaf meowed as he followd us back to camp.
Chapter 2 - Injured - Call Of Graceful Dove
"Leaf! Get Starwatcher ready!!" Adder meowed.
I saw Leaf rush towards Watcher Of The Glinting Star's den.
Adder, Flash and I padded inside where we saw Starwatcher as he signaled us to carefully put Ice on the moss taht was already there.
"Is she going to be alright?" Wolf asked.
"I'll do all I can, but I can't make any promises." Starwatcher meowed and signaled us once again to get out.
"I'll go talk to the rogue-I mean Raindrizzle." Adder meowed padding towards him who was sitting at the entrnace with everyone's stare on him.
"He looks weird, I wonder if he saw exactly how Ice fell. I mean, she's one of the best cave-guards here. She couldn't have posibly fallen down by herself, she's" I meowed but got interrupted.
"Just calm down, accidents happen! You shoudl be more worried about your to-be! Seriously you shouldn't even be a mentor!" Flash meowed as he padded to teh cave-guards den.
I looked at my to-be, Stalk Of Hidden Lynx, sitting and staring at Raindrizzle just like the other to-bes. I walked towards her.
Maybe she wanted to do some traning.
"Lynx!" I called, but she didn't look at me.
I looked at her gaze and tried figuring otu where she was looking, but her gaze was just lost.
"Lynx!" I meowed a little bit louder.
She jumed and looked at me.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What happened to Ice?" she asked.
"She fell and landed on a sharp rock. That rogue found her and was giving her herbs to help her-" I started.
"That rogue!! I don't believe any of it! And neither should you!" I heard Ash Of Black Fame meowed showing his bad temper as he padded out of the to-bes den.
"We don't know anything about him, so keep quiet Ash!" Lynx meowed to him.
"Whatever! If I didn't know any better I'd say that he caused her accidentaly incident!" he spoke a higher tone when saying he and accidentaly.
"What would a rogue want with Ice?" meowed Rain that Falls From Sky comign towards us.
I couldn't help but to be suspicious about Raindrizzle. It just seemed a bit odd.
"See? No reason, so stop blaming others. You're just a to-be." She meowed when Ash didn't answer.
Rain stood up and padded to the fresh-kill pile.
"You're just a to-be." Ash mimiced her when she was far enough she couldn't hear him.
"You're so imature." Lynx meowed to him.
"You better rest, tomorrow we'll go training." I meowed to her, laughing a bit at the two to-bes.
The truth was that I wanted to ask Wolf some questions and then just lie down and sleep until tomorrow. Today had been a long day even without including Flash and Ice's accident.
Let's see what Wolf has to say.
I padded up to Wolf almost tripping over my feet, who was impatiently waiting infront of Starwatcher's den.
"Hey! Wolf!" I called. She looked at me, and I saw her teary eyes.
"Oh..hi Dove." she meowed sadly with her solf voice.
Sometimes I wondered why she was called Wolf-she was nothign like one.
"I just wanted to ask you what exactly happened today. While you and Ice were hunting. Would you mind telling me?" I told her as patiently as I could, btu I really wanted to know.
She nodded.
"She wasa keeping and eye one me, thoguth..I wasn't realy looking at her...I was just trying to hunt...She was sitting on the rock calmly..I ventured..myself a little bit farther when I..I heard her scream."
