Chapter 1

Bouncestream kept walking, he felt weak, the infection on his wounds weighing down on him, hard. Her knew he had to make it to the Thunderpath soon, otherwise, he'd die.

When the tom reached the Thunderpath, he flopped down, to tired and weak to move as the sounds of monsters roared last his ear.

After only a few short minutes of waiting though, a monster pulled over and Twolegs hopped from it's metallic belly. The female Twoleg came up and poked him with a stick, Bouncestream flinched.

She scooped him up and let the monster swallow them whole again. Bouncestream looked around the interior of the monster, it was less disgusting than he imagined, but he would rather be in the rear end of it, as he could see out the back window, there were hay bales back there.

The tom let out a sigh as the Twoleg started petting him and he curled up on her lap. The male Twoleg, who seemingly was controlling the monster using a large circle object also reached over to stroke Bouncestream's head, his paw was rough and crackled, as if moons of hard work turned them that way.

As the monster traveled, Bouncestream slept, until the monster stopped and the female picked up the black-and-white tom and put him in a small crate. Confused and tired, the warrior didn't fight back.

They went into this building, smelled strange, like herbs, only, not herbs. He could hear dogs barking and remembered when his mama, his papa and him were attacked by dogs and he freaked out, hitting the sides of the crate and meowing, that only seemed to agitate the dogs more.

Bouncestream, his pupil narrowed, began ramming himself into the side of the crate, trying to escape. He didn't even notice that the male human had left to talk to someone in a tiny, closed off area with a big gap in one of the walls. The female Twoleg opened the crate slightly and Bouncestream immediately thrust his nose into the gap, trying to escape, but the female Twoleg pushed him back and said something to him, he couldn't understand her.

"Lady, I want out! I changed my mind I..I want to go home, I want my mama, and my papa, and my brother and I was ShadowClan! Please, lady, please please please let me out!" Bouncestream cried.

"She can't understand you mister," a fat tabby tom roared with laughter at Bouncestream. "Damn, the only other cats I've met who were that stupid were on the side of the road and dead!" The tom had a very Scottish accent, but luckily, it wasn't as heavy as Lakestar's and Bouncestream could understand him

Bouncestream scoffed. "Then you try, I need to get home to ShadowCl-"

"You're a wild cat?!" The tom suddenly sounded very scared as he cut Bouncestream off. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to help you any time soon, feral!"

Bouncestream was about to use the language his mentor Furstar taught him, when his crate was picked up and carried into a bright white room. Bouncestream's crate door was opened and the warrior jumped out, sniffing the surroundings cautiously.

A Twoleg hand pushed him down on the table as a sharp object was inserted into his side, he felt liquid running through him as everything went numb.
