Chapter 1
My Existence
Cold, wet feelings surround my limp body as i hit the ground for the first time. i mew loudly and sniff around, my cold.. wet nose hoping to find something comforting.. soon, it hits into a warm, soft figure... my Mother. she appears to be mute at the moment, rolled to her side with her cheek in the muddy earth. My silver furred body crawls towards her in hopes of warmth and food, but alas, i just hear a growl coming from my mother. i sneeze and look up at her, as blurry as my recently-gained vision was... i could barely make out her head as it lifted up and started me down. Her cold green eyes watched me as i helplessly huddle against her stomach. she thrusts her body to the right and flicks her tail. "you little pest... you ruined me!" she hisses at me. What? what did i do? What did i ever - "I Had everything... My Clan trusted me... i was loved.... But then your stupid father had to come around!" i see she's getting angry and i back away. the rain falls on my pelt still.. i guess that's why the ground is so cold and wet. "YOU CAUSED ME TO LEAVE! YOU!" she lifts herself up and approaches me. "that stupid bloodclan scum, Ghost.." she grumbles.. if only i could read her thoughts..... i would know she's thinking:
Ghost gave me you.. then ran off and my leader found out i had had the kits of a bloodclan cat.. she threw me out into twolegplace.. then i returned to the forest so you could experience the horros i have.... Thunderclan was where i was happy.. now i was you little devil to go find somewhere to be safe.. only to have you..... your heart yanked out of you and yourself kicked onto the streets......
Oh SilentWind.... i'll miss you.......
"silentwind...." she whispers to herself on the verge of tears... im guessing that was who she loved..? my REAL dad? no..... apparently my dad's name is ghost... oh well. i guess i'll never- "AH!!!!" i yelp as loud as i will allow, i feel a searing pain in my face as blood drips into my mouth. My mother was crying, blood on her paw, and my nose had a small - but deep - X shape on it "you will NEVER be a warrior... I HOPE YOU DIE OUT HERE, STRIPE!" she yowls at me, before i feel another pain and yet.. more wet.... but this is different... it's.... a river!
Chapter 2
Rust
Gasping for air...
bobbing to the Surface....
Pulled back down....
I Can't seem to figure out what's happened.... how did i end up in the river? i was only struck one time! did i stumble back? but there's no time for other thoughts... thoughts of death are upon me instantly. i am thinking of ways to escape, but - OOF! what is this? it's some sort of wirey.... wall? no..... wait, what is that im hearing?
"HAUL IT UP BOYS!"
i know istantly what this is. it's a Twoleg net! there are barely any fish around in the net also, but i can only think about air right now, not food. as soon as the net breaks water, i mel loudly and struggle for air, the fish flooping about beside me on either side. "Whoa!" A Tall Male Two-leg calls, raising a hand towards a small tower that held the net, as if to signal them to stop. two other two-legs ran out towards the man to see what was wrong, im guessing. "sir, what is going - GREAT GOD! ITS A CAT!" one yells, before the other says something else. "GET IT OUT OF THERE!" the 3 rush towards the net as i claw around, trying to find my way out. i don't understand wha they're saying.. but im glad they came when they did. i couldn't breath in there! Th oldest Two-leg took me in some sort of loth.. i understood it was called a "towel". it was warm and soft, and i allow myself to lean my weight onto the cloth... but then,
"hey kid! what're you doing out here?"
I look back and an old cat is staring at me. "don't you know it's dangerous here at these fishing grounds?" he calls. "f-fishing grounds?" i reply softly as the two-leg carries me to it's nest.. the cat followeing beside them. "huh. kid doesn't know what a fishing ground is. so where ya from, kid?"he asks me again. i remember my mother's words.. and i think up my name.. and you know what? she'll never call me 'stripe' again. "it's silver." i say sternly. i feel a rush as the twoleg sits down and strokes me through the towel. the older cat jumps up by them and i hear them speak. "hey rust, you met this lil kitty here yet? we just fished em' from the water!" they smile and scratch my head. "poor little thing."
I purr softly and rust nears and sits on teh twolegs lap. "name's rust." he says.
Chapter 3
A Place to call Home
I spend most days with Rust, he Shows me around... he shows me the dock, the house, ....the kitchen.... , and most improtantly, THE BOAT!
it took me a while to get used to it, but i love the feeling when it's shakes, and you can feel the wind in your fur.. it just makes me feel farless. But my favorite thing to do on the boat is stand at the edge and feel like a leader standing over her clan... like i was..... brave.
Though my time with the ship lasted long, soon... some of the two-legs decided to let me live in their nest. one day, rust and i spent most o the day just sitting on the dock, enjoying the warm sun and fresh sea-air... it was relaxing, looking out on the horizon... but this peace as interrupted as a weird noise comes from the two-leg nest. "HERE KITTIES! KITTY KITTY KITTY! RUST!" oh, its just the female two-leg calling us in forour daily feed.ive grown to like the food, but ive also gone hunting with rust, and i've come to prefer it. but, the two-legs are kind to me.. so i don't try to resist. i leap down from the stump of wood and rust goes ahead. my tiny paws make the wood creak under me as i hurry towards the nest.
Once rust and i are inside, i notice something different is happening. there IS food... but there's two-leg scraps in it.. also, when i lean down to smell it.. something is wrapped around my neck. Immediately, i instinctively throw myself in variosu directions, my head thrusting beck and fourth and up and down....
but the two leg shouts something i don't understand.. but it sounds mean. "Hey! Quit it!" i stop and still twitch my head a bit, but he thing around my neck loostens and i relax. rust explains to me in few words. "That's called a collar. the two-legs use them to keep track of us." he lifts his head up to show me a red stripe of material across his neck. "see?"
I curiously lower my head and look at the Blue scrap of thick materials. i feel something cold and it's a silvery color. i can't read.. but rust has picked it up. he helps me unscramble these strange letters. he smiles and tells me, "It says, Lily, 81136 salanity road' ............hmm. guess the two-legs are calling you lily now, silver." he chuckles. i look down at the upside down letters and smile softly.
"so i-i..... i have a home now?" i look back up at rust. "w-with you?" he nods and i spring to my feet! im going to be so happy here! im going to be - huh? rust stops me with a strict voice. "BUT. listen, silver." he growls at me softly, his attempt at being stern and strict. "The two-legs have ONE rule... there's no stealing fish from the cold room. they don't mind if you get it from the river - that's hunting... - but NOT the cold room." he sighs and seems to stare off in a distance as if he were remembering something.... but i cannot tell you what it is at this time... this will wait for later.
Hours pass and moonrise has come. the two-legs have retreated to their nest and i don't know where rust whent... and for me? im just sitting out on the dock watching the cold night. a shiver wrigles its way through my fur.... and i hear a familiar voice. "silver?" i look back to see rust has returned from his walk. "you coming in for tonight?" he asks me and he sits next to me, curling his tail around his paws. "i-i'll catch up with you. you go ahead in." i tell him. he nods and turns back, entering the two-leg nest through the cat door. i sit there, thinking about my old life... thinking about the clans. what if my father's looking for me? my mother treats me like dirt.... it oly makes Sense that my DAD would be looking for me! i start to regret my decision of staying here.. but not much.
I Know i have a life SOMEWHERE.. but something tells me.... it's not here.
Chapter 4
Bloodclan
The next day, rust and i go out hunting in the river. there seems to be a shortage of pray this morning - probably because it was close to leaf-bare... a few minutes later of only the result of 3 pitiful little fish, we devour our meal and thank starclan.
I don't know if rust knows about the clans.. so i decide to ask him. "hey rust?"
"yeah?" he replies. "h-have you ever heard of the.... clans? like.. like thunderclan!" i yell, hopefully he would understand. he nods his head and tells me, "oh, i know of the clans..... i was once in them clans." he clears his elderly throat. i sometimes forget how old rust is. "i was part o' bloodclan, ruled by scourge." he smiles at me and my ears perk instantly.
Bloodclan! t-that's where my dad is! i remember mom saying ghost was from bloodclan!
i nod anxiously and urge him on. "do-do you remember where they are?" he nods. "why're you so curious 'bout this, anyways?" he questions me. "well, uhh...." i quickly think up an excuse. " i wanted to know in case i ever ran into trouble with them! so i could.. uhh.. avoid em, kou know?" he just laughs. he can tell im lying, but somehow..... he understands. we spend hours discussing bloodclan and the ruthless cats that live there. later that night, when the two-legs call us inside, i follow rust inside. BUT... as soon as the two-legs and rust fall asleep, i go into the kitchen, and i copy an act ive seen the two-legs do before. there's a small knife on the counter and it takes me a while to climb up, but i start to rub the hard materials around my neck ang ainnt the sharp knife, hearing the tiny little strings break lone by one. when i can't cut any more, i grab the remaining strings in my mouth and YANKED HARD. it came off with a sharp SNAP, and luckily i hadn't woken rust. as i jump down, i discover the cat door is locked, SO... i manage to creak open a window and slip outside.. and right now, ilooked like a forest cat. i looked liek a warrior! i was proud of this and ran until i could see the lights and hear the noise of twoleg place.
Wow! ive never smelt so many different cats in one place! they don't even try to hide from me. i see cats in the darkness.. cats fighing over food.. even a dog or two. i start to feel sad for these scrawny cats until - "hey you!" a hiss comes from behind me.i turn to find a black and white tom staring at me.i pause for a moment.
"what are you doing on bloodclan territory?"
Chapter 5
the Grandson of Scourge
"bloodclan.." i whisper to myself, marveling at how...... low-leveled it looked. "oh, i-i'm sorry! i didn't mean to! i-i'm just passing through." i try to mask my terror to this cat as best i could... how terrifying he looked.. how scary and.. strong and brave.... he looked like he could - what am i thinking? im not scared of him!
"my name is silver. I do not wish for any trouble." he turns his head sucpiciously. "you look like an apprentice!" he hisses at me. i pin my ears. what's an apprentice? "You couldn't even defend yourself if you needed to!" he hisses again. i know he doesn't mean those harsh words.... i just know. "and since you're just a weak outsider... i'll let you off with a warning! now get out before one of our warriors catches your tail!" he unsheaths his claws as a threat for me to leave, and i understand. "If my Grandfather were still here, He'd have your throat in seconds!" he flicks his tail as i run off, and i hide as i see some warriors behind him. "Sharp.... were you talking to yourself, little apprentice?" he chuckles and nudges sharp forward. "you're lucky scourge is gone, or he'd be on yer tail for slacking off!" i notice sharp look at me, before trailing off.
the whole day, i keep thinking about sharp. i kind of put the pieces together and i sort of see the resemblance... and im able to find out sharp is the grandson of scourge...!
how could i have not seen it before! i spend about 3 days figuring out how im going to get into bloodclan territory - but i fail because every time i try... the tom - sharp - pops into my head! why is this so hard!?!
