A warm breeze drifted over Fallingpaw as she continued to sleep,the scent of something unfamiliar whisked at her nose inciting her to wake up from her slumber, a low purr rumbled the ground hesitantly she opened her eyes to see a dark wall around her. Fallingpaw spun around quickly only to be surrounded. Trapped. She could hear the faint snore of Yellowpaw as she slept but couldn't see her, terror billowed in Fallingpaw as she tried finding a way out to her sister,the walls around her were of a bendy type rock. Fallingpaw looked up to see if she could see the sky but alas that was another wall, but sunlight filtered in through some slits that were all symmetrical.

"Yellowpaw" hissed Fallingpaw trying to hide the terror in her voice. "Yellowpaw are you there? Wake up. Fallingpaw tried standing on her hind legs to see through the gaps in the wall,but the flooring was too slippery making her tumble down back to the floor. A heartbeat later the deep purr stopped to a screeching halt sending Fallingpaw flying into one of the bendy rock walls.

"What in Starclan are you doing Fallingpaw" growled Yellowpaw.

"I see that you are now up," remarked Fallingpaw "you might want to look around. We aren't in the forest."

Yellowpaw opened her eyes and gave a quick glance around and groomed her tail quickly from burs. "Great. Absolutely great."Sarcasm filled Yellowpaw's mew. "I bet you that it was one of those creatures."

Once again the deep purr ended, and they had stopped moving, there was the sound of some rumbling and then a crash as loud as lightening and thunder. Whatever the two were in they started moving again, but this time it was more frequently and unstable.

Fallingpaw curled up in the corner trying to protect herself from whatever was on the other side. A loud chime rung followed by a thunderous thump and howling by the same creatures they heard and saw by the shore.

It felt like moons since Fallingpaw had felt the chilling breeze of the forest, but it only had been heart beats ago since. She didn't dare to make a noise, so did Yellowpaw as they hid in the mysterious cave, separated.

With a loud clattering sound the mysterious cave split in two,allowing Yellowpaw to exit it, but what stood on the other side made her pelt stand on end. The creatures, they were back, and she was in their lair. Quickly Yellowpaw protects herself from their prodding touching pads as they try to get a hold of her scruff, instantly Yellowpaw whips out her claws and claws down the arm of one of the creatures hissing.

"Fallingpaw! Where are you" yowled Yellowpaw but there was no reply. Frantically she dives under a mysterious object that was too narrow for the creatures to get under. She was safe for now,but uncertainty prickled and welled up inside Yellowpaw "where is Fallingpaw, Oh Starclan please tell me she is safe."

Something slipped around Yellowpaw's neck, yanking her out from her hiding spot. She scrambled on the smooth ground trying to grasp something with her jaws to stop her from being prodded at again by the creatures, but there was nothing secure enough. Yellowpaw was placed onto the ledge yet again this time one of the creatures clad in white pinned her to it while the other one was getting closer to her with a sharp, shiny stick.

Yellowpaw awoke back in the small cave alone. She quickly groomed her fur and examined her body all the way to her paws and claws. Nothing had changed, whatever the creatures did it didn't harm her."Fallingpaw, Fallingpaw?" There was no response. Yellowpaw yowled her sister's name.

"I'm here" Fallingpaw's Mew was faint and weary. "Are you alright? I heard some hissing, and then you went quiet for awhile, mind you everything in my head is all fuzzy."

"They didn't harm you?" Meowed Yellowpaw as she remembered as the creatures pinned her to the weird ledge and then everything around her slowly contorted around in her head and ebbed away.

"Nope, they just prodded me with some strange things, I was too terrified to move" Fallingpaw replied, "there is also something noisy wrapped around my throat, I can't get it off."

"We are moving again aren't we." Sighed Yellowpaw as she laid down in the mysterious cave trying not to show her emotions of being even farther away from Cliffclan and possibly further away from where her mother and brother are.

The rattling thing stopped purring, and again there was the unfamiliar sound of a thunderous slam followed by an unearthly shake. Rattling Fallingpaw's stance, "we are going to be safe right"she squeaked to Yellowpaw.

"I don't know, I'm terrified!" Yellowpaw instantly squeaked back.

Bitter, tangy scents filled their noses. Unfamiliar sounds ringed through their ears. Hearts racing, panic reared its head on the two as they were being carried by the creature while in the mysterious caves.
