Savage

Chapter 14

Whelp, Brightnose, and her had discussed.
Featherclan is coming to life.
We'll need clanmates. . .Where would we find them?
Then, she remembered that there were kittypets around.
"Well. . . Could we ask them?" Brightnose mewed.
She nodded and led the way.
She stared at the two-leg-place. It was huge, towering above them.
She nodded to Brightnose, and they went in.
A kittypet met them there. "What 'er you 'doin' here?" He growled.
''Please, I'm Featherfoot. Please let us through, it's important."
"Featherfoot. . .'' The kittpet echoed. "Are you a clan cat?"
"Well-yes." She stammered.
"I'm Eagletalon, former warrior of Poppyclan."
"Why did you leave?" Featherfoot asked, surprised.
He looked at his paws.
"I was on my last life. I- I didn't want to lose it, so I came here. It's pretty nice here."
"Wait - last life? Do you mean you were Eaglestar?"
"Well, yes." He managed a small laugh.
"But you died!"
He chuckled, shaking his head. "'Naw, I didn't."
"Well. . ."
"Well, what?"
"The leader of Poppyclan- Lilystar- banished me from the clan. . . Because I and Brightnose-the medicine cat - had kits."
"Well, I'll be." He murmured. "Thaz' no good."
"Yes, and I'm forming a new clan, Featherclan. I and Brightnose will be mates, and no cat can stop us."
"Ah, I see. Are you looking for recruits?"
"Well, yes, we are. Maybe you could join, be an elder?"
"Meh, maybe. I'll take ya' to my friends, maybe they'll join you."
"Ok. . ."
They headed into the two-leg place, and a ton of cats came to greet them.
"This is Featherfoot an' Brightnose.''
"Oh, are they clan cats?" A dark brown tom asked.
"Yes, we are," Featherfoot replied. "We're creating a new clan, FeatherClan, and we're looking for cats to join. Do you want to?"
He was silent. "I'm Prince, by the way - and I will join if I get more information. Now, we'd like to introduce ourselves."
"I'm Lilac." A young lavender she-cat mewed.
''I'm Chirp."
The others were Prancer and Dakota.
"So, can we get more information," Lilac said, "on 'clans'?"
So she explained everything, nine lives, leaders, medicine cats, deputies, Starclan, hunting, fighting, and training apprentices. Everything. By the time she was finished, it was moonhigh.
Prince looked at his paws for a moment and then spoke up. "I'll join."
"So will I." Lilac mewed.
"So will I." Prancer and Dakota said in union.
"I guess I will, too," Chirp said, sounding unsure.
"Ok, we can set up camp behind this fence over there. There's a bunch of woodland."
They headed over and spent the rest of the day organizing camp and making nests.
She spotted a large rock and leaped onto it.
"Let all cars old enough to jump this fence join here beneath. . . Beneath the large rock for a clan meeting!"
Prince frowned, looking slightly confused but headed over, followed by Lilac, Chirp, Dakota, Eagletalon, and Prancer.
"We have successfully created a new clan - Featherclan!"
"Featherclan! Featherclan!" They cheered.
"Now, you all need proper names, and we need a deputy. Lilac, Chirp, Prince, Dakota, Prancer, step forward."
They stepped forward, looking up at her.
"Lilac, from this moment on, you will be Lilacpaw."
"May I be Brightnose's apprentice?" She asked suddenly.
''Well- if he's ok with that.'' She meowed.
He nodded, and Lilacpaw scampered over to him.
"Chirp, you will be Chirpfoot. Dakota, you will be Waterlily. Prancer, you will be Prancefoot. Prince, you will be Treefall.''
Everyone cheered for their clanmates, and Featherfoot raised her tail for silence. "The new deputy of Featherclan will be Treefall!"
"Treefall! Treefall! Treefall!" They cheered again, and he took his place beside her on the rock.
"Clan dismissed!" She called, and the cats wandered away.
