Protect the Forest - Part 1

A battle has just begun. Several cats from both Thunderclan and Riverclan began to tussle, fighting for Sunningrocks. “Oakheart! How dare you hunt in Thunderclan’s territory?!” a big, brown tabby tomcat yelled. “The Sunningrocks belongs to Thunderclan!” The tabby leaps towards a reddish-brown tomcat, slamming him against the smooth rocky floor. “After tonight, Tigerclaw, this will be another hunting ground for Riverclan!”

Oakheart, the reddish-brown tomcat, bites Tigerclaw’s paw. Tigerclaw shrieks in pain as Oakheart kicks Tigerclaw’s underbelly with his hind legs, sending Tigerclaw into the water.

Tigerclaw leaped out of the water. Tigerclaw was caught by surprise when two Riverclan cats jumped on top of him. Tigerclaw easily shook both cats off him and quickly pinned one of the cats to the grassy floor.

“Leave! And you may live!” Tigerclaw growled. The Riverclan cat quickly got out of Tigerclaw’s grasp and ran into the forest. The other cat jumped at the tired Tigerclaw, but Redtail pinned the cat to the ground and bite down on the cat’s neck, killing them instantly.

“Tigerclaw! We must fall back! Thunderclan has no chance of winning against these impossible odds!” Redtail said, dodging an attack from another cat. “No Redtail! We must fight for our territory!” Tigerclaw replied.

“Thunderclan will honor your bravery Tigerclaw, but Bluestar would never want her warriors to fight unwinnable battles! Fall back. We haven’t lost!” Redtail ran on top of a rock. “Thunderclan! Retreat!”

“Where did you find them?” “Near the Thunderpath Bluestar.” “Their pelt resembles that of the stars.” “What is this strange gem? Is this a sign from Starclan?” “It doesn’t smell like a kitty pet, nor a clan cat.”

“When will they shut up? Can’t they see I am sleeping?” Star Leap thought to himself. “Traveling through time and space is tiring!” Star Leap continued to listen to the cats.

“Are they dead Spottedleaf?” “No. They seem to be rather healthy Bluestar.” “You say it’s not dead, yet it acts like crow food.” “Give them some time.”

“Hey. Yu! Are you here?” Star Leap asked. “Where are we?”

“The Heart of Thunderclan of course! Well, the forest territory of Thunderclan.” Yu replied. “This is the timeline where Rusty first joins Thunderclan. A truly touching moment in my opinion.”

“Thunderclan? Rusty? Are those, you know, the bad guys?” Star Leap asked. “Should I be worried?”

Yu giggled. “Not at all. Open your eyes and see for yourself.”

Star Leap sighed. Maybe Yu was right. He only just got here anyways. Villains don’t just pop out of nowhere, right?

Star leap slowly got his paws. “It moved!” “Stay calm! It’s a 1 vs many!” Star leap knew he could solo them. He continued to stretch.

Star leap opened his eyes as he finished. “So, this is Thunderclan? I’m a little disappointed.” Star leap yawned, turning to face a group of cats staring at him. He could sense their fear from them. He couldn’t blame them though, he did just phase into reality. “Yu, what do I do?”

“Try starting a conversation. They seem confused, so try being nice to them.” Yu said. Before Star leap could even mutter a word, a blue-gray she-cat growled. “Who are you?!” the she-cat growled.

“Damn. Can’t have shit here.” Star Leap said to himself. He’ll have to answer their questions first if he would ever wants to start a conversation.

“Uh...” Star Leap thought for a moment. “S-star leap. That’s my name. Star leap.”

The blue-gray she-cat whispered to a dark tortoiseshell cat, then both cats looked back at him.

“Star leap, was it? I am Bluestar, leader of Thunderclan. Please follow me to the medicine den, if you would.” the blue-gray she-cat said.

Star leap sighed. “I should’ve stayed asleep.”
