DustyStar's POV

I lay in my den, my two kits; LittleKit and SparrowKit playing outside happily. LittleKit was an unusually small black she kit with white paws and ears. While SparrowKit was a tom with a pelt of different shades of brown which almost glowed when the sun shone on it. LittleKit pounced on SparrowKit and he shook her off easily. LittleKit was stealthy but weak due to her size. Their mother, ThistleLeaf soon emerged from the nursery and called her kits in. It was getting late, it would be the start of their apprenticeship tomorrow but I haven't told them yet. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Suddenly their was a deafening twoleg scream and the forest erupted with movement, it was a twoleg. COMING STRAIGHT TOWARD THE CAMP! The ThunderClan camp!

A twoleg apprentice broke through the fern tunnel and stared with awe when she saw us. She didn't chase us, she stood completely still except her shaking and tears running down her flushed face. I ran out of my den and strolled up to her, my long brown tail up high in greeting. She stood staring and murmured something in twoleg talk. A group of five kits, including mine watched their eyes sparkling. She couldn't speak our language so this would be hard. "BreezeHeart, LionTail. Take her somewhere safe, I'm going to moonstone." I called and went to our Medicine cats den.
"The twoleg?" Asked GoldenStream; our medicine cat. "I'll get you herbs to go to moonstone" I nodded. She gave me herbs and I wasted no time setting off.

Lauren's POV

One second my mother and I was running from the anonymous threat behind us, next she was pushing we away as I saw a car hurtling towards us. She saved me with her own life but everything after was a blur. Flashes of scenery, falling, cutting my knees and arms, breaking through some fern and seeing the cats in front of me. The blurs stopped as I saw the brown cat striding towards me confidently, his tail high. I looked and saw other cats coming at his command and a group of kittens staring at their strange guest.

The brown cat left and the two cats he called took my either side, taking me to a bramble structure. Every cat in the opening was staring as the two cats meowed things to my audience. I reached out to smooth the golden cat with a small lion like mane and a tail similar to a lions. I could tell he was a boy because of his size compared to the White cat with reddish paws beside him. I touched his smooth pelt and felt him flinch meowing something to the White cat who looked up at my hand with what looked like a mocking smile on her face. I smoothed him and he purred, I guessed none of them had been house cats. So they never got this treatment. I used to have a cat, her name was Poppy but had to be put down. I wonder if she knew about these mysterious cats living in the forest.

DustyStar's POV

I was walking through the tunnel to the moonstone, my whiskers bristled the sides. But I soon got there and shared tongues with StarClan. They told me of this twoleg; Lauren. That her mother was knocked down by a monster after being chased by a danger StarClan itself couldn't see.
"Take these stones," meowed BlueStar softly.
"It will let you under stand the twoleg, and her to you." FireStar piped in. "The blue one is for the clan to understand her. Put it on highrock, the sun will hit it and it's beams will do the rest for the clan."
"The Grey one is for Lauren to understand the clan. Hand it to her so the beams don't reach another twoleg."
I woke up from the satisfying dream and headed back.

LionTails POV

The two stroked my pelt and although BreezeHeart gave me a mocking glance it felt soothing. Is this how twolegs treated kittypets maybe?
BreezeHeart was talking to the crowd of stunned cats while LittleKit, SparrowKit, FernKit, FlaireKit and BlindKit pawed me and crippled me with questions that I couldn't answer. The twoleg watched us all and reached out to touch BreezeHears shimmering pelt. I saw a look of surprise on BreezeHearts face but soon relaxed and purred quietly.

DustyStar's POV

I arrived the next day and approached the twoleg I mean Lauren. I entered the den they were keeping her in and raised my tail as she shook her hand from side to side fast. I meowed and pinned her hand to the floor using no claws and dropped the grey stone in her hand. I then Raman off and placed the blue stone on highrock.

Lauren's POV

The quiet surrounding were filled with murmurs and I wonder if the bad people were back for me. I spun round in shock but soon realised the sound was coming from the cats.
"It's ok, it's just us. I'm DustyStar and the stone I gave to allowed you to hear us." The brown cat meowed calmly. I gasped and held my hands to get mouth making my words murmur out. "You can hear me?" I asked and the cats murmured to each other. It was DustyStar who answered. "Yes, I know what happened and StarClan. The clan of our ancestors told me everything when I got the stones. They also said if you wanted to stay with us to bring you to moonstone. But if you wish to go home y-"
"I don't want to go home!" I blurted out, "I won't stand I chance..."
"Then I'll take to moonstone later, after a meeting." DustyStar replied Ashe jumped onto a high rock. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather under the high rock for a clan meeting!" He echoed. I stayed behind, I'm not a cat and although I can sneak I don't have a chance of catching prey.

I could just about see the meeting while I sat on the floor with my knees tight to my chest, DustyStar confirmed me joining the clan and told my story. Though I guess everyone already knows. After this he called a certain LittleKit and SparrowKit out to turn into apprentices. I think the other cat that was there was ThistleLeaf. The mother of the kits.
