The rise of WildClan

= Prologue = the night was quiet, owls hooting, bob cats yowling and the roars of the monsters echoed in the quiet night. Two green glowing eyes popped out in the darkness looking side by side, looking for something. They emerged out of the darkness onto the Thunderpath. A sleek figure of a cat lurked in the darkness, bony, ragged and surely active as they chased around moths in the sky. Suddenly, a monster drove towards the sleek figure. The monster quickly stopped, sour smells came out of it when it stopped. The twoleg put on the monster's headlights on. In front of the monster, there was a bony white Bengal cat with a fluffy ginger tabby tail, they had scars across their left eye, on their right shoulder and on the left side of the torso. The twoleg came out of the monster and approached the cat. The bony cat hissed and scratched the twoleg's hand, making it bleed. The twoleg ran back to his monster and went inside it. The bony she-cat hissed. "next time don't forget to turn on your headlights mousebrain!" She sniffed the place, her green eyes still glowing in the night. She looked behind her to look at the Arizonian desert. She sighed and walked across the street back to her twoleg place. When she entered, it was bright and very empty, boxes lay on each other, some books were scattered on the floor, and greenscreens, cameras and all those sort of stuff lay on the ground and the three Pomeranians were running around happy as ever. She didn't know why her twolegs packed everything, they were just leaving for a few moons. She walked towards a small corner and she lay there on the hard cold floor. She closed her eyes trying to block out the noise of the dogs barking when she was asleep.

In the morning, she went through the cat/dog flap and into the backyard. She looked at the pool, the water stood still until a gush of wind came. She walked towards the pool, licking her lips, she was thirsty and needed water. she lowered her head and started to drink the pool water. The taste of chlorine filled her tongue, she didn't care though, this was the only water source she could find. ''well! its not going to hurt me! I've done it before...'' she thought. She had enough and wanted something to eat. She was walking back until she remembered. ''right! my twolegs don't feed me...'' she decided to hunt so she jumped over the gate to the front yard. She ran across the Thunderpath and then made a sharp right turn and into the Arizonian desert. She panted and looked around, no coyotes to fight today. She walked towards a steep slope and stopped. She looked down without a terrified face and leaped down, her blood stained claws dragged on the rocks as she slid down. She leaped off and landed on a deserted land with only one tree to be seen. She walked towards another steep slope but this time it was much higher. She couldn't go that far down unless she wanted to die so instead she walked to the left side of the slope and slid down a curve. She looked around, Cacti and tumble weeds could be seen but that wasn't what she was looking for, she looked up to see a group of vultures flying around looking for food. She had an idea and collapsed onto the floor playing dead. A vulture looked down at her and called his friends. She tensed up her muscles a bit scared, she only done this once before and that was successful but she didn't know how this will end. The vultures gathered around her, one of them walked closer ready to take a bite out of her. Her heart started racing when she saw how sharp their beak and talons were. after awhile, she yowled and leaped up on the vulture clawing it. The vulture screeched and flew up trying to get her off, she sunk her teeth in their neck trying to hold on, the vulture scratched her nose with their talon. She yowled as it bled but she didn't stop attacking this bird that is ten times bigger than her. Once she bit hard enough, there was a loud crunch in the vulture's neck. The vulture screeched and fell down, She had to use the vulture's body as a cushion when landing. Her legs did hurt a bit when having impact on the floor but she shook it off like it was nothing. She then dragged the vulture's body back up the curve, dragging it across the floor then when she reached the other slope, she dropped the vulture's body and looked up. ''right! now how am I going to do this again...'' she thought trying to remember how she got up while dragging a vulture. She sighed and grabbed the vulture and then started to climb the slope, the vulture's body made it hard for her to climb but she didn't give up. She climbed up and dropped the vulture and lay down resting from that exercise. After awhile, she grabbed the vulture again and dragged it in the middle of the Thunderpath and started eating. She knew that she couldn't finish it all by herself so she walked over to the twoleg den next door to her twoleg den and scratched on the door meowing. After, the twoleg opened the door and saw her meowing. The twoleg called for someone then looked at her. There were another meow coming closer, the cat then showed himself. "hello Max!" she meowed. "hello there Shadowhunter!" the cat replied, he was a grey shorthaired cat with yellow eyes. "want to share a feast with me! I caught a vulture and I cant finish it alone!" Shadowhunter meowed. "cool! can the others come too?" Max purred. "sure! I can get the others while you Gard the vulture!" Shadowhunter meowed. "ok!" Max meowed and padded off to the vulture. Shadowhunter sighed and smiled. She walked off back home to get a special someone for the feast. She entered the flap and she mewed out for someone. A kit jumped out of an empty box. The kit looked like Shadowhunter but more healthy looking and the small kit had a black head with orange-amber eyes. "hello mother!" the small she-kit mewed. "hello Shadowseeker!" Shadowhunter mewed back. "am I going to play with my brother again!" Shadowseeker mewed excitedly. "maybe! But I have something more special!" Shadowhunter meowed. "what can be more special than playing with brother?" Shadowseeker questioned. "well..." Shadowhunter purred. "I caught a large vulture! And we are having a big feast!" "wow!" Shadowseeker yowled. "that's cool! I want to eat a vulture!" "then come on! We can get the others too!" Shadowhunter purred. She loved seeing her kits happy all the time. That's why she would reject the offer of the other half of the food she brought in for her kit. They walked across the Thunderpath and stopped in the middle of it. "who should we get first?" Shadowhunter asked her kit Shadowseeker. "father and brother!" Shadowseeker mewed. "ok!" Shadowhunter laughed. They went to a nice twoleg den and they waited in front of the cat flap. ''gosh! I hate how the flap have to be microchipped!'' Shadowhunter thought. Suddenly, there were a beep! The flap is unlocked! Without hesitation, they quickly went through the flap to see another kit. The kit was like if Shadowhunter and a black cat had been smudged together to make a tortoiseshell cat. "oh! hi mother and sister!" the small kit mewed. "hey brother!" Shadowseeker mewed. "hello Coffee!" Shadowhunter mewed to the kit. "where is your father?" Shadowhunter questioned. "oh! Father is being lazy!" Coffee purred. Suddenly, a grunt could be heard. A black cat trotted towards them. The black tom purred. "you say that I'm being lazy when I'm cleaning myself!" Coffee giggled and mewed. "yeah!" "come here you little!" the black tom said. He playfully attacked Coffee. Coffee giggled and joined in attacking the black tom. Shadowhunter looked at the two boys and smiled. After awhile, Shadowhunter meowed. "alright! That's enough!" The tom looked at Shadowhunter. "oh! hi Shadowhunter!" "hello Shadow!" Shadowhunter purred. Shadow walked up to shadow hunter and put his nose on her chest. Shadowhunter started to purr, licking behind Shadow's ears. "how have you been going?" Shadow questioned. "well, not much, just the usual..." Shadowhunter meowed. "but! would you like to have a feast! I caught a vulture for all of us!" Shadow's eyes widened. "yes! We would love too!" "then come with me! Lets go get Ginger!" Shadowhunter purred. They all walked out of the twoleg den and went to the twoleg den near the Arizonian desert. She saw that the window was slightly open and decided to meow into there. She started to meow hoping someone would respond. After awhile, a fat and ugly blue-grey cat stuck his head out of the window. The fat cat meowed. "what do you want?" "we want Ginger please!" Shadowhunter growled. She didn't like how the elderly tom lived, lazy, doesn't even go outside once and is also overweight. "ugh! let me get him" the tom growled. He stuck his head back inside and called out to someone. a small ginger cat popped out of the window. He had pale green eyes, a green collar and white paws. "hello!" the ginger cat meowed. "hello Ginger!" Shadowhunter meowed back. "what's the fuss?" Ginger questioned. "well! I caught a vulture and now we are having a feast!" Shadowhunter purred. "food!" Ginger yowled. "yep!" Shadowhunter mewed. ''gosh! ginger cats these days!'' she thought. "well lets go!" Ginger meowed. They all followed Shadowhunter wanting the vulture badly. She led the way to the middle of the Thunderpath where the vulture lay there. Shadowhunter could see Max sitting down cleaning himself. Max saw Shadowhunter and the others approaching and meowed in greetings. "woah!" Shadowseeker yowled. "that thing is huge!" Coffee yowled as well. "can you catch and kill a Cougar? Ginger questioned. "no! I would fail and die during a fight with one!" Shadowhunter meowed. "I may be strong but I'm not that strong! Shadow meowed. "lets just eat it already! Shadowhunter is leaving soon!" Without hesitation, the cats began to eat the vulture. After awhile of eating, Shadowhunter didn't feel like eating more. ''really Shadowhunter! you're starving to death at this state why aren't you eating more!'' she thought to herself. She stopped eating and started to clean her blood stained paws. Shadow noticed that she wasn't eating and walked towards her. "are you not hungry?" Shadow meowed to Shadowhunter. "oh!" Shadowhunter mewed. "well, I don't know why..." "well I hope your ok" Shadow meowed scratching his collar. "what's wrong? Fleas?" Shadowhunter questioned. "no. It's this twig that is stuck on my collar! It's annoying!" Shadow responded. "I wonder what it's like having a collar?" Shadowhunter and Max said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. Shadowhunter continued with their conversation. "its just...I don't want to leave you guys..." Shadow licked her cheek. "well you will only be away for a few moons! And remember! I'm always with you in your heart!" Shadowhunter laughed a bit. "I guess so!" Suddenly. Shadowhunter's twolegs called out for her and her kit Shadowseeker. "well!" Shadowhunter meowed. "I guess I have to go now! see you guys in a couple of moons!" "later! Have fun!" Ginger meowed. "I hope you will be ok!" Max meowed. "safe travels!" Coffee mewed. "I wish the best in you! And remember! I'm always with you!" Shadow purred. Shadowhunter smiled, picked up Shadowseeker by the scruff and walked to her twolegs that neglect her. The twolegs put her and Shadowseeker in a carrier. The three Pomeranians were on a leash still barking and biting each other playfully.

= Chapter one = She sniffed around the new house curiously. Shadowhunter had never seen this place before and she wasn't used to the new place. Shadowhunter heard her kit Shadowseeker say something but not so clearly. The only sounds she could hear was the noise of the flying-monster(plane) as it still roared in her ears even though they weren't in the flying-monster(plane) anymore. She looked around the new place. It was a nice wooden cottage with a nice brick chimney where there could have a nice warm fire. She was used to the nice fancy and shiny whiteness of her twoleg den at Arizona so she was a bit uncomfortable and frightened. Shadowhunter wanted to explore the new place but she was too focused on the fresh smells outside. She walked towards an open window and leaped on it. She looked back at the cottage and then looked outside. Shadowhunter couldn't believe her eyes! The place was covered in forest! It was so green and much colder. She could smell so much new animals and plants, then she knew that she had to explore. She never seen a forest before. The only wilderness she ever saw was the nasty hot Arizonian deserts that she always loved. She remembered all the skulls and tumbleweeds she saw. But this was new. This was a forest! A nice green forest! She wasn't used to the colours. It was all green, blue and brown but at the Arizonian desert was all yellow, orange and some patches of brownie green. She jumped down the window and into the backyard. There were lots of new plants. They all smell nice and they looked healthy. But. Shadowhunter recognized a scent. Shadowhunter looked at her left to find a minty plant with some blooming flowers on them. Catnip! She raced towards the catnip, her mouth drooling and all she could think about is catnip. She rolled around the catnip and started to chew on some. She filled up with happiness and didn't want to stop. at least they have catnip at this place! she thought. The sweet taste filled her mouth and some sour tastes too. She started to hallucinate. Shadowhunter saw some weird looking cats and this weird gooey creature. Maybe a dog or a squid? She also saw some frightening hallucinations. She saw a cat zombie that had blood everywhere and had a small kit in its mouth, all bloody and dead. She wasn't scared though, in fact she would do the same thing because her twolegs didn't feed her. She had fun rolling around the catnip and chewing on them making sure all the juice gets in her mouth. Suddenly. she heard a stick snap. Shadowhunter instantly stopped what she was doing and looked around unsheathing her blood stained claws. She sniffed the air and opened her mouth so the scent can touch the roof of her mouth. She scented a cat that smelled all mossy and it smelled feral. She let out a low frightening growl to the unknown cat warning them to stay away. After awhile, there were a dark grey paw reaching for the catnip. Shadowhunter watched the paw swipe at the catnip and grab some. Shadowhunter pounced in the bushes grabbing the cat. The cat managed to escape and run out towards the fence. The small cat couldn't get up the fence and struggled while frightened. It was a small she-cat with dark grey fur. She had blue eyes and a twisted broken left leg. Shadowhunter walked towards the struggling cat, studying her. The small she-cat yowled. "p-please d-don't hurt m-me!" Shadowhunter looked at her curiously and said. "who are you? and what are you doing in my territory!" The small grey she-cat mewed. "m-my name is C-Cinderpaw! A-and I h-have to h-have this c-catnip!" Shadowhunter was confused and meowed. "interesting name! And also why do you need this catnip? Catnip stealer!" "w-well I n-need this f-for my c-clan! A-and w-what's your n-name?" Cinderpaw stuttered. "my name is Shadowhunter. And do you really have a clan..." Shadowhunter growled. Cinderpaw responded with. "y-yea. I'm t-the c-clan's medicine c-cat!" "why don't you guys go to the cutters?" Shadowhunter questioned. "I-I don't k-know....m-maybe we d-don't trust t-twolegs..." Cinderpaw stuttered. Shadowhunter nodded. "that's acceptable...I mean. You are a feral cat but I still don't believe that there is a clan out there" Cinderpaw nodded and tried to jump over the fence. "umm. I may need help" Cinderpaw meowed. Shadowhunter nodded and meowed. "get on top of me" Cinderpaw climbed on the tall she-cat and Shadowhunter walked up to the fence and stood on her hind legs. Cinderpaw climbed on Shadowhunter's head. Paws were everywhere in Shadowhunter's face but she didn't mind. The grey she-cat hopped over the fence and looked at Shadowhunter, her blue eyes thankful. Shadowhunter let out a purr of delight and smiled. Cinderpaw jumped down into the forest and went back home. Shadowhunter turned back and entered the inside of the cottage. She sniffed around the cottage and then noticed the dogs' bowl and walked towards it. Inside the bowl, there were brown kibbles the size of her eye. She started to eat the food, she didn't enjoy the food but it will do for the night.

Shadowhunter woke up to the noise of her twolegs making some coffee. She looked around and sniffed the air. ''Why am I hoping they will give me food? They clearly wont! Don't get your hopes up Shadowhunter!'' she jumped off the bookshelf and walked outside. Today she would hunt for food and enjoy it. She positioned herself next to the fence, looked up, wiggled her haunches getting ready to jump up, and leaped up onto the fence with ease. She looked out into the forest. It was crowded with trees and plants. She wasn't used to a crowded area like this. But she liked it, it made her feel safe from predators, Like a cardboard box did to her. She leaped down and wandered into the woods. The smells were new to her, she could smell fresh leaves and all those sort of smells different to her home in Arizona. She walked around For awhile sniffing the air trying to scent some prey. She suddenly heard something scattering around some tree roots and some tiny sniffs and squeaks. Shadowhunter dropped into a hunting crouch and crawled towards the noise very quietly. Near some tree roots looking for his nuts that he hid was a very orange squirrel. She widened her pupils and wiggled her haunches. She leaped onto the squirrel snapping his neck and picked it up in her mouth. She couldn't stand the smell of it at decided to eat it now and so she did. The squirrel was so good it was almost gone instantly. She grabbed a piece of bone and swallowed it whole. She did it with the others and all that was left was the skull, her favorite part of the skeleton. When she was struggling to swallow the skull, a mouse decided to run to her paws and huddle in them. "you either must be stupid or really suicidal!" She purred to the mouse. Just as she killed the mouse and started to eat it she heard a loud yowl. She looked up and saw four cats. One cat was a pale blue-grey she-cat with blue eyes, an Orange tabby tom that looked like fire, a white tom with yellow eyes and a fluffy white tom with blue eyes. "why hello there" Shadowhunter meowed to the four cats. "what do you think your doing here kittypet?" the pale blue-grey she-cat growled. "hunting. What does it look like I'm doing?" Shadowhunter meowed confused. The small fluffy white cat yowled. "I'm sorry! I cant hold it anymore! Why does she smell like someone died!" The fire like ginger tabby hissed. "Cloudtail! Don't say that!" Shadowhunter looked at Cloudtail but not with a mad look, she looked more amused and meowed. "why do you smell like forest?" The white tom growled. "that was our hunt by the way..." "well you didn't catch it so its mine now" Shadowhunter purred. "this is our territory! You shouldn't be hunting here!" the blue cat hissed. Shadowhunter looked at her and meowed. "well I'm sorry! But do you have more prey or is it just the squirrel and the mouse! You have plenty of prey in the forest!" The blue cat looked offended and yowled. "you don't need to hunt here! Your twolegs feed you food! You don't need to fatten up more by stealing our prey!" Shadowhunter looked angrily at her, rage filled her and so she stood up and hissed. "does this look like they feed me! They haven't fed me in two years! I had to fend for myself!" She showed them her bony body, her fur bristled as she yelled. The blue cat looked like she felt sorry and meowed. "I'm.....I'm so sorry...I didn't know...." Shadowhunter's eyes turned into slits and she lay back down and flattened her fur. The orange tom meowed. "Bluestar, its ok, what should we do to her?" Bluestar looked at the other cats and then at Shadowhunter and sighed. "Would you like to stay in my clan for awhile?" Shadowhunter looked amused and meowed. "so she was right..." "who?" Bluestar mewed curiously. "oh! A cat named Cindey...or was it Cinderpaw...never mind! It was a dark grey she-cat with a twisted leg! She came for my catnip and said something about a clan" "oh! Cinderpaw!" the orange tabby mewed. Bluestar smiled and meowed. "not right now Fireheart" Fireheart nodded and sat down. Shadowhunter thought about it. If she stayed in a clan for awhile she would have to do nothing. And also she would be getting free prey and all that awesome stuff! "sure I can stay for awhile!" Bluestar nodded. "well that's great! I like helping cats in need! Now lets go!" The cats got up and started to travel to somewhere. Shadowhunter started to follow them. She finally felt safe and she grew more curious. Where were they taking her? Yes, she knew, they were going to the clan! But where do they stay? They went past some patches of bracken with a couple of voles chattering with each other. They decided to catch some for the clan and by the end, they caught 13 voles. They continued their journey to the clan. It started to get late so they started running to the clan. Shadowhunter was the fasted out of all four cats but then slowed down her pace because she didn't know the way and didn't want to get lost.
