Chapter Two

That's Sky up there! 

Clover lunged at the vole she was stalking, killing it with a single blow. It had been a day after the talk with the cats from PineClan. Clover kept on wondering if she should have let the Clan take some of their territory. She walked back to her family's den with her vole in her jaws. Her father, Flare was busy helping Clover's mother, Sky into their den. Sky was soon going to have kits. Clover dropped her prey in the Extra Prey pile was what they called it. She walked up to Flare and told him about the talk with the PineClan cats. 

"You know those stories about the Clan cats that mother told me?" I mewed.

"Yes" Flare answered.

"Anyways, it's true. The clan cats live in those rocky mountains. They came and said that they wanted some of our territory."

"But this territory has been in our family for generations."

"That's what I said to them. They said that we had no choice" Clover continued. "They looked tough and looked like they meant give me some of your territory and we'll be fine. You know?"

"We can't let them make demands" Flare mewed. "I don't know what to do."

"Neither do I" I mewed. "But whatever happens, We'll always get through" I purred.

"I wish I can promise you that, but we never know . . ." Flare said grimly. Is he saying that were not going to make it through?  Thoughts clouded Clover's mind.

"Come on" mewed Flare. "It's almost dark. Let's get some prey for Sky and we'll eat."

"Okay" Clover agreed. They each got a piece of prey, Clover got a extra for Sky and they walked in the den.

"Here!" I replied cheerfully. She dropped the piece of prey, a mouse in front of her. 

"Thanks!" She replied. They settled down and started to eat their prey. Once they finished eating, they went into their nests made of feathers, and soon fell asleep.

******

The next morning, Clover woke up to the chirping of the birds, and sunlight streaming through the entrance of their den. She got up. She padded out of their den, and took a piece of prey from last nights catch. She ate it quickly and walked into the forest. The air was cool. The leaves on the trees were falling. Leaf bare is almost here. She thought. The scent of vole crossed Clover's nose. Clover saw a vole just walking around, mining it's business. Clover leaped up and killed it with a blow at the neck. Clover was about to go back to the den but something flashed on the other side of the forest. Something raced towards her. It was the cat she saw yesterday. A familiar scent washed her nose. PineClan.

"Hi!" The cat had the same high-pitched voice as Shrewpaw. 

Clover put down the vole she was holding in her jaws. "Shrewpaw?" Clover asked. "Is that you?"

"Sure is!" He replied. 

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

 "Well," He replied. "I couldn't resist seeing you again so, I came here again."

"This is our territory" I replied. "And if is about territory, I walk away."

"No. Well, kinda, yes" He said. "But no one knows that I'm here. But I just need to say that, our leader, he said that if you don't give up some of your territory, he'll fight for it."

"Your kidding!"

"Nope." He replied blankly.
