Cherrypaw blinked open her eyes, she was laying on her side in the middle of a dark clearing. A dark grey shape twitched next to her and when she looked up, he turned his blazing blue eyes on her and ordered "Stay here" He then stood up and padded over to a big black and white tom. The two of them talked for a while with occasional glances back at her. A brown and black tom joined them, and the black tom motioned towards her, the brown tom nodded and started to walk towards her. She jumped to her paws, baring her teeth.
"Hey!" the tom chuckled, "Whatcha doing their kid?"
"Get away from me!" she growled
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, my name's Cookie, what's yours" he cocked his head
"My name is Cherrypaw of Thunderclan" she straightened, "what is this place?"
"Welcome to The Howlers camp. All of us were either born into this group or came from twolegplace, like me." he flicked his four ears, wait four?? "The cats that found you were out looking for the grey one and they found you, you had passed out and Artemis brought you back here to heal. "Artemis the blue-eyed tom that was here before and that black and white cat we were talking to is Chess, he is our Leader."
Cherrypaw nervously flicked her tail, and asked "Um, why do you have four ears?" Cookie looked embarrassed, he covered his ears with his paw.
"Well, my mother was experimented on while she was pregnant with me and my littermates, they did all sorts of tests and they had effects on us, giving me four ears, my sister horns and my brother two tails." he finished, "please try not to stare, we got bullied a lot as kits here and my littermates are quite aggressive if anyone asks." Cherrypaw nodded,
"it's alright," she soothed, "It doesn't matter to me. Now, why am I here?" Cherrypaw sat up.
"Well, I can answer that." a burly black and white tom sauntered over flicking his flecked tail. "My name is Chess, and you my kit are here because we are looking for your brother, Scalepaw is it? He is very important, and we happened to find you, so Blackwell here thought you could help us find him." The other black and white tom leaned in to Cherrypaw's face,
"You will be staying with us for a while sweetheart, make yourself at home" he smirked, "Cookie will be your guard, don't let his friendly exterior fool you, he is a skilled warrior." the tom's hot breath bathed her face.
'Yes sir" she responded standing as straight as she could, her green eyes wide with fear.
