I pad into the ashy forest and whimper.
"The forest wrecked everything," my sister Spottedpaw cry's.
"But now we have a new beginning," I tell her reassuringly.
Spottedpaw looks down and continues to walk deeper into the forest with the rest of the clan.
Nightstar passes me with Cinderfrost, my mum, beside her.
Without my mother and I, the forest would be destoryed. I look back into my past to when I had my first vision of the fire. Flames everywhere, cats screaming. It was horrible.
I jump back into reality and fearfully look at the forest floor.
"Split up! See if you can find anything or somewhere where we can spend the bight until tomorrow. The sun will be gone in a few hours!" Nightstar calls to the clan.
I smile happily and pad to the Riverclan borders to see if we still have our scent markers.
I explore and find that the Riverclan scent border has expanded into Thunderclan territory and growl with frustration
Just because we left, doesn't mean that we left forever.
growl and renew the scent by the river. I look at the water and sigh as I see thousands of ashes pouring through the river.
I stop dead as I smell Riverclan and wait till I can hear the cat closer.
"Hello?" I hear a young cat meow.
I jump and the sound and look to where the voice came from, in which case was the bushes near the river.
"Yes?" I growl.
A small dark brown apprentice aged cat pads out from the bush and I hiss.
"What! I didn't say that I was going jog to fight you! I'm just wondering why your in our territory," he meows defensively.
I tilt my head in interest, "This is our territory. We only left because of the fire," I tell him.
I smile and I finally realize how handsome he is, "What is your name?" I ask him.
"Stumpypaw. Why do you want to know?" He growls.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Riverpaw," I tell him, still looking straight into his eyes.
"Okay then," he mews confused.
I giggle and then he leaves. I yelp in protest but he goes back into Riverclan territory.
The next day I start to help with remakin the new camp. I sigh when a small tiny leaf falls onto my pelt. Cinderfrost seemed to notice as she starts meowing, "I know this is exhausting but at least we'll have a camp. Even if we only have mud and twigs to remake it,"
I nod knowingly as just the night before, there was a downpour of rain drenched our makeshift dems. Old rabbit burrows.
I growl and decide to take a break by taking a small stroll through the forest.
