Maplestream's Tale

== Chapter One ==
I yawned and my eyes blinked open. In front of me I saw Willow, my mother.
"What is Papa like?" I asked. "Tell me everything."
"Your papa's name is Oak," Willow began. "My sister Ash had quite a liking for him. She introduced him to me one day when we were kits, and we fell in love at first sight. But my mama and papa, called Sky and Clouds, quarreled with Oak's family one day, and we left our birth territory and made our own territory here. We were mates, and had two litters before yours. Your siblings, Stream, Rock, Ripple, Mouse, Thrush, and Finch made their own dens somewhere in this territory. You will too, someday. You haven't met Oak yet, he has his own den. But I promise he'll come visit someday. Today we're learning as much as we can. This way to the Twolegplace stream."
"What is Twolegplace?" I asked.
"You are such a curious one," Willow giggled. "Twolegplace is located across the Twolegplace stream. It consists of Twoleg nests, Thunderpaths, and Twoleg monsters. The nests have little bits of territory attached by a fence. There's one on the other bank of Twolegplace stream, which you must never go over."
"Aren't fences bad?" I asked.
"No," Willow replied. "Fences are one of the best things about Twolegs. They separate us from the Twolegs, because if there was no fence the Twolegs would invade our territory."
Suddenly she lowered herself into what she called a hunting crouch. She had seen cats from that 'ThunderClan' group of cats do it.
Then Willow leaped! She jumped straight over a bush. When she came back, she had a mouse with her.
"How did you do that?" I gasped.
"Oh, my darling Maple," Willow purred. "I'll teach you tomorrow." Suddenly, there was a crackling in the forest. "Intruders. Maple, go fight them!"
