Cricketpaw's pads heart. They were bruised with scars and cuts from stepping on sharp stones. It had been two days since they left their camp. The other clan cats' heads were bowed, not saying a single word, saving their energy for walking. Cricketpaw knew it too. She knew that she would be safe and sound at their new home. The blue lapping waves, splashing against golden sand, cats bowing their heads to drink the cool, fresh, water, and plentiful of prey, running against the brown, soft ground, with the golden sun shining above. 

She gasped for breath, her tongue licking her dry and cracked lips. Water... She needed water. She forced herself to pad on until she spotted something on the ground. Water. She immediately lapped it up. Her tongue felt cooler, and her sight became clearer. She looked at her surroundings. 

They were walking on plains, the green and brown grass seeming to stretch forever, and the sun was beating down on them, forcing them to slow down. The mountains glowered at them in the distance.  Twoleg houses were nowhere to be seen.

She sighed and sneezed. She squinted her eyes and focused on the path. Dawnstar was padding with the other leaders, murmuring under their breaths. 

Suddenly a sound made all of the clan cats jolt.

A twoleg lunged out of the bushes and reached out to grab them. Cricketpaw screeched with anger. She lunged forward, scratching the twoleg's hand. A trail of red followed the path that her claws drew.  The twoleg drew back in anger, screaming and whacking her.

"You'll never defeat us!" Cricketpaw hissed, her eyes lighting up. "DawnClan spirit!" She lunged at the twoleg once more.

"Don't forget about us!" Starwatcher, Owlspark, and Skystorm from MistClan lunged over. Otterdawn and Duskrose also came. Together, they began to drive the twoleg back. But the twoleg yowled and more twolegs ran out, holding nets. 

Great StarClan! The Twolegs want to capture us and hold us hostage! Cricketpaw snarled. But she also knew that she couldn't use her powers in front of the Twolegs. It would just make her Wanted.

Nightspark, Mothfall, Tidestorm from JungleClan and Ravenstripe, Volefoot, and Amberheart from MysticClan joined in.  A blur of orange and rainbow sliced across the humans. It was Rainbowtail! Rainbowtail hissed, hiding her tail as she caught Cricketpaw's gaze.

The cats stood shoulder to shoulder, hissing and spitting at the surrounded humans. Together they slashed and bit, and the Twolegs ran into the bushes.

Cricketpaw sighed with relief. The clans were safe now. As Dawnstar waved her tail again, the cats moved on. 

When will we ever find our new home?
