The Daughter of Scourge (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 17

    When they got back to camp, Ice asked to talk to River in private. She agreed. “What is it?” River asked Ice as they sat down by a part of the stream. “Am I the deputy?” He asked. River nodded. “This is… so cool!” Ice said and then went off after thanking River. “Who do you think you are!” A voice called out to River. “Who are you, trespasser!” River snapped back. “I’m Ginger. This is my home” She hissed. “I’m River. This is Bloodfang territory. Smell the markers?” River hissed back.

    “A clan?” Ginger asked. River nodded. “I always wanted to join one, but with twolegs taking cats I was afraid to” Ginger admitted. “We’re a rebellion clan” River said. “You can join” She added. Ginger nodded and followed River back to the camp. “Meet Ginger! She is our new member!” River announced. Each cat went up to Ginger and introduced themselves to her. “Good to have another she-cat around. I thought the toms would over take the she-cats with their numbers” Snow whispered into Ginger’s ear. Ginger giggled at the comment.

    “Why don’t we all go and hunt!” Ice said as he eyed the empty fresh-kill pile. All the cats nodded in agreement. “Ice, Ginger, Buzzard, and Pickle go together and hunt. Snow and I will go hunt together!” River said and walked out of the camp, Snow rushing to catch up.

    “Where do you want to hunt?” Snow asked. River shrugged and sniffed the air. She crept toward a bush. A startled cry was heard. “Who are you!?” River growled. “R-River…” The cat said. Snow walked away and began to hunt. “Wildspirit…” River whispered as the cat stepped out of the bush. “What are you doing here?” River asked him. “I-I… I escaped from a twoleg and heard about a clan being formed here” Wildspirit answered. “Why did you come here? Isn't Shadowclan more important!” River challenged him.”I-I did go to Shadowclan but, Midnightstar told me to leave and never come back!” Wildspirit stammered. River sighed and ran her tail over his back gently.

     “Can I j-join your clan?” Wildspirit asked. River nodded. “Thank you!” Wildspirit exclaimed as he licked River’s face. “Follow me!” River ordered, trying to ignore what just happened. Wildspirit nodded and trotted after River.

If my writing style is bugging you, hang in there it will improve around chapter 34 or so.
