Stormberry's Secret [A Warriors AU Fanfic] {On Hold}

Chapter Thirteen

It was morning when they awoke, only they didn't expect to be surrounded by kittypets. Alderflame hissed at them as their ears flattened in confusion. One of the she-cats, who had black and white fur, one red and one blue eye, looked very calm as she went up to Alderflame.

"Don't worry, little one. I'm not here to harm you." She says with a small smile as Alderflame looks at her in confusion.
"Don't mind Gretta, here. She's still in her mother phase." A friendly looking tom with white and grey fur, yellow eyes and brown ears says jokingly. Tabbyheart eyes him suspiciously.
"Who are you ?"
"We are the kittypets who live in this... what do you clan cats call it? Oh! We live in the 'Twoleg Place'. I'm Rags by the way." Rags says, dipping his head to the group.
"And the rest of you?" Stormberry questions. A black and white tom with sliver eyes and a grey collar stepped forward.
"I'm Juke. This is my mate, Box." He explains, gesturing with tail to the visibly pregnant grey she-cat beside him.
"And this is Prissy." Rags says as a she-cat with all white fur and a red bow on her tail beams.
"Hello there! Nice to meet you all!" She says cheerfully, as a kit trails alongside her. The kit's name is Meadow, Prissy and Juke's little one. Gretta has two kits: Poppy and Misty, who both look a lot like their mother.

"Nice to meet you all." Mistyblue says, dipping her head.
"How do you know about the clan cats? Do you get a lot around here?" Rags blinks at Stormberry's question.
"Oh yes! There were always cats here that have known about the clans-in fact, your leader was one us once! Or, at least that's what I was told when I was young." Rags explains and Stormberry's eyes widen.
"Really? Burrow lived here?!" She asked in surprise.
Burrow was the original cat who stared 'Burrowclan'. Later on, her son and another cat would join her. They would later be known as Frogstar, the second leader of Burrowclan and Jasmineherb, the first medicine cat of Burrowclan.
"It appears so." Rags replies.
"Would you like to come inside?" Prissy asks with a gleam in her eye. Alderflame and Stormberry glance at one another nervously.
"I'm afraid that we can't stay... we are on a mission." Prissy frowned, but the others didn't have any reaction aside from the twitching of their ears.
"That's fine... but it won't be safe during the day, night would be better. Depends on where you are going." Rags explains and Mistyblue glances at Stormberry.
"Well... I-I can't go through the details, but we are looking for this cat, and they are somewhere in a rock area or a cave. And it's surrounded by lava I believe and-"
"Stop right there," Juke commands with furrowed brows, "we know that place." Mistyblue's green eyes widened.
"You do?!"
"Yes, it is a place far from here. And the people who live there are called the Clan of Jewel." Box explains, but she doesn't look that confident.
"Forgive me for saying this... but how do a bunch of kittypets know about the place?" Tabbyheart questions.
"I work for them." Prissy explains cheerfully.
"And one of them is my mate." Rags explains, and Gretta pads up nervously.
"We all have ties really. Juke was a mate for one of the cats, and as for me... well, I believe my sister is the... what is the word? Oh, it's equivalent to your 'Clan Leader'?"
"How do you know it's your sister?"
"My sister's name is Astra, and she's spotted with black spots on yellow fur. Rags told me there was a cat matching that description." Stormberry thinks for a moment before asking another question.
"Are you adopted siblings?"
"Yes. We aren't from the same litter, but the same Two...leg? The same Twoleg bought us." Gretta explains as Stormberry nods.
"Why do you think night would be better?" Alderflame asks, turning to Rags who originally asked the question. The tom's ears perk up.
"Oh... well, there's this ship. It can take you there faster than walking can. It would take you days, and I doubt you have that much time." The group nods and Rags dips his head.
"If you wish to speak with us, you can come inside the fence." Gretta says as the kittypets leave the clan cats alone.

Author's Notes

Burrowclan starting out as one kittypet and growing into a full clan may be unoriginal, I don't know but I still like the backstory I gave the clan :)
