Around The Mountain

Chapter 3~

(haha. nice job wolfy. BUT I WILL NOT BE DEAFEATED! And don't call me wings .-. )

*Jadecloud's P.O.V)

I flinched when I heard the voice and looked around quickly. I couldn't get back to the Moonclan border without clearly being seen by the cat.

And I didn't want my clan to get in any trouble for my stupid actions. I surprised myself by coming here..

The voice got a bit louder, so the cat was getting closer.

I panicked and jumped into the tall grass.

It was good for defense but hard to see. I thought to myself but quickly got the thought out. You're thinking like Rocktwig now! Soon I'll be thinking like Craterstar. And I shouldn't even be stressing over this! I look around the tall thick grass and try to walk as silently as possible through it. Which isn't easy seeing how there's twigs and leaves everywhere. Which is even weirder because Stoneclan doesn't have any trees.

That's Moonclan's and Treeclan's thing.

I looked around for any cats and listened for any voices. There were none.

I sighed with relief and started to relax a bit. I still couldn't believe I had come here! A different territory! And the territory of my father no less.

Well, at least we're allies with Stoneclan... so maybe this won't be such a big deal...

Or maybe it'll be a huge deal.

I sighed and shake my head slightly. My mom must be so worried. I hope Sunpaw is okay. I hope they don't think Stoneclan took me. That'd be terrible!

As I walked through the tall grass it started to get thinner and thinner.

So even at times like this curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to see where this would lead me and kept walking as the grass got thinner.

Soon I was able to see where I was from a safe distance without getting out of the grass and the protection it provided me from being seen by Stoneclan cats.

I saw a lot of cats Bad

Some seemed friendly Good

Others not so much Bad

But they didn't seem to notice me or smell my scent Great

I think I reached Stoneclan camp.... BAD

I thought about turning around. Maybe that other cat had left. Maybe I could go back to Moonclan camp and say that I was hunting! Maybe none of this will have to turn into a bad thing.

I turn around and look at whats there. Grass. I can't even see the large trees of Moonclan. I'm that far away from home. From Lightriver.....

From everyone

"I'm sorry Moonclan. I disobeyed the code." I said and turn around again. Watching the cats. It was just like Moonclan. Sure different cats, but same thing. Everyone worked hard. Help their clanmates. It was nice. Nice to have some similarity here. Cause that's the only thing right now I can think about without stressing out a bit. Okay I mean a lot. I heard something and that made my attention completely shift.

Hawklegs' P.O.V (WRITE WOLFY WRITE)

(DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO BIRDIE (is that any better I'm working on it okay) ONLY I GET TO BOSS U AROUND!!! >:D )

The cat, still making no efforts to conceal their noises (or maybe they were trying and just failing miserably), quickly started heading back towards Moonclan borders. Seeing as we were allies with Moonclan, it would be a pretty bad idea to go chasing after. Especially after bringing in an injured tom, going around and destroying alliances didn't seem like a great plan to get any higher in the clan.

Giving one more sniff, I turned and headed back to the prey I had hid earlier. A part of me was wondering if I should try and catch some more prey, but I quickly shrugged off the thought. We had enough prey for now, and if worst came to worst, Snakestar wouldn't pet her pride get in the way of asking Moonclan for some assistance.

Prey in my mouth, I started making my way back towards camp, going the long ways around to see if I could pick up any prey scents- just because I wasn't hunting didn't mean I couldn't tell the others if there was a mass of prey near camp. Once again- a strong scent of foreign cat invaded my nose.

A cat on the border, Hawklegs might be able to ignore, but this close to camp? No way. Ally or no, they would have to addressed. Carefully dropping & burring the prey I had been carrying, I discovered the scent to be much closer than expected- the prey must have been covering up the stench, I reasoned.

The cat came into views before they had noticed me, giving me a moment to assess the situation. The cat appeared to be around my age, with long, silver fur, and after further inspection, I realized the cat to be a she-cat, and a she-cat who smelled of Moonclan, no less.

After a few heartbeats, the she-cat tensed and slowly turned, just now realizing I was there. Seeing a look of guilt, Hawklegs decided to go with a more annoyed approach than hostile.

"And what do you think you're doing?" I asked, doing my best to seem confident and not worried. Just my luck, finding all the in out territory in less that half a moon! Not even a quarter of a moon! Barely a day!

"I was hunting prey and it ran across the borders!" The she-cat lowered her lead on defeat, as if excepting that the excuse was crap.

"I don't see why that means you get to wander where ever you want to. There are borders for a reason, you know!" I responded curtly. The grass around us swayed slightly, as if adding to the dramatic-ness of the situation.

The cat twitched uncomfterably, keeping her gaze lowered and ears pressed close against her skull, before continuing, "I didn't mean to...so if we could just forget this ever happened, and I can just leave-"

"Woah, woah, woah!" I interrupted, "You aren't going anywhere! You do realized you just made your way to the heart of our territory, right? Even if I let you leave, your scent isn't that hard to pick up on, no offense."

She sighed, "Great...."

"Come on now" I turned and picked up my prey before gesturing with my tail to follow. Hopefully my confididence didn't fall out on me.

The strange cat reluctantly sighed, before following behind me. I couldn't wait to see everyone's faces when I brought in yet another cat into camp. Yay.
