Chapter 9: Sal and Night

"Run!" Yowled Icestorm. The four cats ran towards a fence. "Climb it!" "Fast!"screeched Leafpool. The cats climbed the fence and stood on top of it. "What now?" Asked Nettleclaw as she stared down at the dogs. "Hey!" "Over here!" Whispered a dark grey tabby. The tabby was standing in the twoleg yard. "Um, hello." Meowed Icestorm. "Do you know where we could stay the night?" Asked Icestorm. "Sure!" Mewed the tabby happily. "Just come on down and and I'll show you" called the tabby. The cats jumped off of the fence and into the twoleg yard. "My name is Sal." Meowed the tabby. "My name is Icestorm and these are my friends, Leafpool, Nettleclaw, and Shadowmoon." Mewed Icestorm as she gestured towards her friends. "We are trying to reach the sun-drown place." Mewed Leafpool. "Do you know where it is?" Asked Shadowmoon hopefully. "Oh yes!" Replied Sal. "I've been there before!" Exclaimed Sal. "I'll show you the way later, but let's go to my camp first." Said Sal. The cats nodded and followed Sal. Sal brought them to a run down twoleg house. "This is my camp!" Mewed Sal. "You are welcome to stay here for the night, and tomorrow I'll show you the way to the sun-drown place." Said Sal. The cats nodded in thanks. "Who is that?" Called a scratchy voice. "That's just my mate, Night." Said Sal. "Night, we have some visitors!" Called Sal. "Bring them to me." Said Night. "Follow me please." Said Sal. The cats entered the twoleg place. It smelled of sickness and rotten prey. They walked over to a corner where a dark grey tabby tom sat. "Who are these cats Sal?" Asked Night. "We are traveling cats from the clans that live in the forest." Said Icestorm. Sal and Night's eyes widened. "Well, you didn't tell me you were from the clans." Mewed Sal. "Do you know anyone named Storm?" Rasped Night. "Well I have a mate named Stromeye." "He's the only cat in the clan named that." Answered Icestorm. "What color is his pelt?" Asked Sal. "He is a big silver tabby with long claws." Said Icestorm. "Oh Night!" "That's him!" "He's alright!" Exclaimed Sal. Night nodded happily. "He is our son." Rasped Night. "We used to live in Bloodclan, but we had arguments with the leader." "We came here and Storm wanted to explore." "We feared he would not make it out in the world." Said Night. "We are overjoyed that he still lives!" Meowed Sal. "Do you have kits?" Asked Sal. "Three kits." "Rockkit, Rosekit, and Littlekit." Icestorm answered. Night and Sal looked down sadly. "Poor Rose." Said Sal. "Storm has a brother, Scratch, and had a sister, Rose." "Rose was killed by Renegade, the leader of Bloodclan." Said Night angrily. Night and Sal both fuzzed up twice their size. "I'm sorry," said Icestorm. "Stormeye never told me." Mewed Icestorm. "Well that's the past." "Now tell me, why have you come?" Asked Night.
