    Taking feeble steps, a gray-pelted cat slinks through the overgrowth before finding an opening. Shock disrupted her immediately at the sight of what appeared to be a clan of cats! Many were around, some playing, some eating, some sleeping, here and there.


    "Wow," She exclaims under her breath. "I have never seen so many cats in one place before. Not even back at the Range." She quivered at the thought of the place she'd just escaped from, but quickly pushed the meddling thoughts aside. "Well, I came searching, and maybe this is my answer. Gotta be brave." With that, the she-cat stood up tall and trotted bravely into the open field.


    "Hello?" The cat mews out. "Um, I was named Lady Fang, but I'd like to---"

    Raggedwing lifted her head where she was sunning herself. She scented someone unfamiliar. She saw the cat. Her ears twitched. Glancing toward the kits playing. She bounded over toward the entrance. She didn't know if the cat was a threat. "What are you doing in ThunderClan territory?" she hissed her claws out slightly, prepared but she wasn't going to just attack a cat that was no threat. Maybe she was just looking for some help. She was being protective over the kits, the queens and elders. She knew there were many other cats that could defend them as well, but she felt better if she did it.

    "Oh, my," The newcomer cat took a step back, and couldn't help but flex her claws. Her fur bristled, before she took a moment to calm herself. "My-my name is Lady Fang," She stammered. "I'm from, um.." She dug her claws into the earth and inhaled deeply. Why was she so nervous? Perhaps it was because she was so used to all cats being a threat. All anything being a threat, for that matter.

    The she-cat narrowed her eyes, suspicious of this cat. Her name was 'Lady Fang', what an interesting name that is. She saw Lady Fang extending her claws slightly, her neck was bristling. But she wasn't tensed as if she was ready for attack. She was more anxious looking. Raggedwing could see it in the she-cats eyes. "Yes, and why are you here?" she asked in a more calm voice, slightly soothing. She was still ready to attack her if she needed to. But she didn't really like attacking anyone. She knew cats that would easily loose their temper and just jump on another cat! She lashed her tail slightly. Her thick maine coon fur fluffed out a little, making her look bigger. But the fur on the back of her neck was flat.

    "From where I come from," The words tumbled from Lady Fang quite rapidly. "Legend had it that there was a place where cats could roam free, together. That cats didn't need humans, owners, and cages," She shuddered, her fur flattening in fear at the thought yet again. "I wanted to find some cats like that, and maybe join them. I-I could prove myself to you, are you... are you one of them?" Her eyes suddenly widened at the realization, though it had been quite apparent the whole time. The poor cat was such a wreck, and she just couldn't help it.

    Raggedwing's whiskers twitched at this cats words. She was kind of curious about her. It was obvious that she was making her very anxious. She flicked her ear and sheathed her claws. "Yes we are. I think. There are four groups of us. We are called ThunderClan," she explained. "We hunt in the forest. There is RiverClan, ShadowClan and WindClan. We live in separate groups, in separate territories. We have lived her for many, many seasons." She paused. "It wouldn't be my decision. We have leaders and deputies, and a medicine cat." As a warrior she wouldn't have much say in it, but that was okay with her. The she-cat was being much more gentle now. Her voice was soft and relaxed. Her claws were sheathed.

    Lady Fang let out a small smile, and a mew. "Wow, so it is all true." She tasted the air, taking in the presences of the many other cats again. "Wouldn't the others be excited, if only they knew." The cat's claws also sheathed, and she began to relax, though it was quite apparent that she was still defininately on her guard. "So, what do they call you? Do you have special names? Like Leader and Medicine Cat? Or, are those just.. surnames, not real names?"

    (mind if I jump in?)


    Nightgaze, the silent black she-cat with dark blue eyes, walked over and flicked her ears at "Lady Fang." She sniffed her fur, detecting the fresh, crisp odor of grass... and lots of it. She twitched her glossy black tail, flexing her injured paw. It had been bitten by a nonvenomous snake, the toes splayed permanently.

    (I don't mind at all! =D)


    Lady Fang noticed the other cat approaching them, and tensed again. "Oh, hello." She mewed, nodding towards the black cat.

    Nightgaze dipped her head in respect and acknowledgement. Somehow she knew this cat was no threat. She could feel it.

    (They might have left. You never know. This might take a while.)

    Nightgaze continued to stare at Lady Fang, not saying anything. To most, it was unnerving. She could speak, she just mostly decided not to.

    [ooc: my bad guys I kinda disappeared.]


    Raggedwing saw Nightgaze enter the scene. She gave her a slight nod. She turned her gaze back to the she-cat. "I am Raggedwing," she responded with another nod. "The leaders have special names. Like if I was a leader my name would be Raggedstar all the leaders names end with star. This is Nightgaze, we are both warriors of this clan. We protect the clan, hunt for the clan, teach the apprentices and care for everyone. Some of us have kits. Those are the queens. An apprentice is a young cat and they always have -paw at the end of their name. When I was an apprentice I was called Raggedpaw. She explained. She gave a lick to her chest smoothing out some of the fluffy fur.

    "I see." Lady Fang paused for a moment, and mimicked Raggedwing's posture, trying to relax as she was. "Well, how do I go about asking to join your noble cause? Getting my own name, becoming an apprentice, and all that? I've never had kits. Never got the chance anyhow, but I've always been a fighter." She puffed out her chest slightly. "I'd like to join Thunderclan."

    Nightgaze tilted her head at Lady Fang, as if to say, "You think it's that easy, especially having a name like 'Lady Fang?'"

    Lady Fang let out a little huff, "Would you like to test out that theory?" She gave the she-cat a hostile look, but it was more challenging than it was threatening.

    Nightgaze flicked her ears, as if daring her to go ahead. In the entire time they'd been talking, she hadn't said a word.

    Lady Fang shakes her head, and turns back towards Raggedwing. "I'm not here to fight any of you, not unless I have to," She shoots Nightgaze a "screw off" glance. "I want to join you, and learn the ways of a clan cat."
