Firestar's Quest/Chapter 13

==Chapter description==
:Firestar is forcibly awoken by two cats standing around him. He snaps at the pair, and they inform him of Twoleg activity nearby. Firestar weakly stands up and follows the two cats, and he begins to believe they are a BloodClan relative sending him off to his death. The she-cat offers a puddle of water for the Clan leader to drink and a sparrow to eat. Firestar stares at the prey and back at the cats, then wonders why they care for him. Firestar introduces himself to his saviors, and they reveal their names are Cora and Stick. He asks the two if they've seen Sandstorm. However, they claim their other cats might have. Firestar asks if they are part of a Clan, but they look more confused. He begs Cora and Stick to introduce him to their friends in hopes of finding his mate, and they agree to stay by his side. 
:Other cats arrive in the camp, and Cora beckons the tom for an introduction. Firestar meets Coal, Shorty and Snowy while they boast about their daily adventures. Shorty mentions saving a ginger she-cat from a pair of Twoleg kits, and Firestar perks up and asks the tom if he can take him to her. Cora tells the tom that he needs rest to be able to continue on his journey. Firestar attempts to deny it, but the cats leave him no choice. He falls asleep in a nearby patch with no dreams to disturb him. 
:Stick wakes Firestar with a mouse in front of his paws. The ginger tom immediately asks where Shorty is, but Stick tells him he'll return later. After finishing his mouse, he finds the brown tabby tom underneath a tree. The two take off to find Sandstorm, and Cora mentions returning if they cannot find her. The pair jump over a wall and through confusing alleyways in the Twolegplace. Firestar focuses on the scents nearby and can faintly smell his mate. Shorty offers to help Firestar find Sandstorm, and they take off over the next fence. They briefly lose the she-cat's scent and follow to the opposite wall. The ginger tom notices a piece of orange pelt stuck on the bar, and he immediately recognizes her. He jumps on the fence and calls her name, but there is no sign of her. A tortoiseshell kittypet growls from behind him, and she demands to know what he is doing in her garden. The kitty pet does not let him speak and immediately pounces on him. She drags her claws down his pelt, but suddenly the kittypet backs away. Firestar begins to thank Shorty for saving his life but notices Sandstorm standing before him instead. 
:Sandstorm growls at the leader, and Firestar tries to defend himself. The tom reminds her that he would search for her forever if he had to. The cats reconcile, and Shorty offers them a way to the river. They scurry through the Twoleg maze, and the group can hear the small crashing waves in the distance. Sandstorm and Firestar say their thanks to Shorty, and they part ways.
