True Bird

I open my eyes and I lay in a den, the medicine cat den. Medicine human den, whatever you want to call it. I see besides me a knife, probably for protection. I get up and walk to the herb storage, none. I walk out of the den into the clearing, everyone looks panicked, the deputy was sending out hunting patrols. I spot Blackflame and run over to him.

"Could you and Frostpaw come help me gather herbs? My storage is dry."

He quickly nods his head and calls Frostpaw. We basically need everything we can get. Oh yea by the way we don't have fur we have clothes depending on our colors we chose. I feel something dangling on my neck as we walk, why haven't I noticed this before? I look down at it. A leaf necklace! Probably telling everybody I'm a medicine cat.

We walk back to camp, carrying how many herbs it is possible to carry. We set them done in the herb storage in the back. Well looks like it is my first job to sort them out. Watermint, marigold, juniper berries...

Finally a full stock of herbs.

Are we going to have to cook our food over fires? How are we supposed to eat? I glance over at Snowstar walking back and forth worrying about something I would presume.

"Snowstar?" I yell from my den.

"Yes Stripedleaf?" He yells back.

I wave my hand for him to come over here.

"We need wood and need to make a fire to cook food over."

He looks a bit confused then realizes we aren't cats, were humans. I'm not eating raw rabbit, squirrel, mice whatever we eat! He turns around and runs away into the forest. I wave goodbye and slip back in my den and sit against the cold stone wall. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

"Welcome Stripedleaf," says someone, "welcome to Starclan"

I turn around to see a women with dark brown hair, hazel eyes.

Then she fades away into slides of cooking food, cleaning, and other important stuff.

I wake up to Snowstar shaking me. I jump. He laughs, "Looks like a peaceful dream you were having there!"

"Starclan showed me how to cook and hunt!" I said excitedly.

I demonstrate everything to him so he could show everyone else. He thanks me then walks of to his den.

I walk put of camp to explore the territory a bit when I see a dove. I stare into it's shining eyes and it stares back into mine. I hear a crunch of leafs and then here comes Windsong with her knife and throws it at the bird. I throw myself at the knife and it takes a good jab at my arm. Windsong opens her eyes in horror as I scream out in pain. That knife went as far as the bone. It stopped the blood flow so no blood was coming out. All of the warriors come around and here comes Snowstar.

"What were you doing Windsong!" He yells in fury.

"I was going to kill a dove and Stripedleaf jumped out in front of the knife..." Windsong stammers.

He looks down at me.

"Get her back to camp, don't remove the knife till she is in her own den." He growls

Windsong and Snowstar help me up and practically carry me back to my den. I tell them what herbs to get.

"Marigold, poppy seeds, cobwebs"

I apply all the herbs to my arm. I'm not sure if these daggers were a good thing after all. One just about made me lose my hand! One handed medicine cat would not work very well. I peak outside the den and see a fire in the middle of the camp. Cooking. Finally after a million moons Frostpaw gives me a rabbit to eat, thank Starclan. Finally I decide it is time to hit my nest.

The dark brown haired woman holds a knife like the ones the warriors have and swings it at me. Good thing I was pretty good at dodging. I duck and it hits the wall.

She finally walks up to me are grabs my collar, throw the knifes and they come back to you. Not that you'll ever need to know that! She laughs then turns to me. She picks up a knife and throws it perfectly at my heart. I stand there waiting for it to touch me.
