Chapter 22
While every cat keeps on walking, Kittithrine can feel sleepy and dizzy again. Suddenly, a thought came to her. Could that cat be telling the truth? Kittithrine wondered, Could my human form growing weaker with every step that I take as a cat instead of a human? Kittithrine looks at Thunderheart and back to her paws, No! It mustn't be true, because I am under a spell and I will prove to him that he is wrong. She kept on walking as every cat enters the BloodClan territory.

As everyone entered Thunderheart stayed close to Kittithrine and Crystalkit. Pearltail, Ravenclaw, and Shadowfang stayed behind as Tornfang, Lunaflight, Snakevenom, Chainspite, Shrinkage, and Wolverineclaw are in front. As they kept on walking, they have entered through a hole underneath a wooden fence. From the other side of the hole, everything is scattered with couches, pillows, and everything that belongs to two-leg nests. Before moving on, Thunderheart leans to his side; towards Kittithrine's ear, "Kit," he meowed. "Do you know what place this is?"
Kittithrine looks around, "It looks like a Junk Yard,"
"A Junk Yard?"
"It's a place where trash from two-legs used to have but it has to be tossed away,"
"Oh,"
"Alright you cats," Snakevenom hissed. "Let's get moving," then every cat has started to keep on walking into the clearing.
In the clearing, a lot of cats gathered around them. Kittithrine and Crystalkit trembled a bit, Thunderheart went close to them so they could stay calm. As they kept on walking, they saw one cat is sitting on the pile of scrap. Thunderheart studied the cat, it is a small black tabby tom with blue eyes. Thunderheart held his growl as he shielded Kittithrine and Crystalkit.
The small black tabby tom has started to growl, "Tornfang," he hissed. "How dare you to bring outsiders here without my acknowledge?"
"Forgive me Scourge," Tornfang bowed his head with respect. "But I have been asked to be journeyed with Lunaflight and a few of our warriors to gather something outside from our clan."
"And that is...?"
"To see that my vision is correct," Lunaflight stepped in. "And it truly is,"
"What do you mean Lunaflight?" Scourge meowed angrily as he tilted his head,
"In my vision," Lunaflight began. "I saw a cat who is granted by the power of fire,"
"And that cat is the one who has flame-colored pelt over there?" he stared at Thunderheart,
"He is," Lunaflight nodded. "But there's more than that,"
"What?" his left ear twitched, "What do you mean?"
"The cat that's with companions," Lunaflight sighed. "It's a warrior of ThunderClan,"
"What?" Scourge snarled,
The crowd meowed as fear flies in the air,
"You've brought our ancient enemy to our clan?"
"To bring proof to you that my powers do exist," Lunaflight snarled back. "Yes,"
"Proof," Scourge echoed. He stared at her eyes, he can see determine and worrying. Slowly, his eyes have begun to soften. "There's no point in arguing with you, isn't there?"
Lunaflight stares back,
Scourge sighs, "Very well," he sat back down. "What else did you bring?"
"We also brought the other three warriors from the other Clans along with ThunderClan," Snakevenom stepped in. "Along with a kit and a very unexpected kit,"
"What do you mean by an unexpected kit Snakevenom?" Scourge meowed,
"Remember the spell that can destroy a two-leg if we have any witnesses?" Lunaflight asked,
"Yes," Scourge nodded.
"Well technically...the spell...it somehow...backfired,"
"What do you mean by that Lunaflight?"
"That kit with the blue ribbon over there," Snakevenom pointed with his tail. "That kit is a two-legged she kit herself,"
"What?" Scourge jumped up to his paws, "That cat is a two-leg? How's that even possible?"
"That we do not know," Lunaflight nodded. "But to bring proof, we have to let her live and let her come."
"I see," he starred at Kittithrine. "Kit," he meowed. "Step forward,"
Kittithrine hesitated,
Thunderheart leaned towards her ear, "Go on," he meowed his whisper. "I'm right behind you,"
Kittithrine nodded, she padded slowly to the front of the group. As she is in the clearing, Scourge jumped down from the pile. Kittithrine lightly yelped at first, but Scourge has started to circle her as he examines her. As he finished, he stops right in front of her.
"You look familiar," he meowed. "How come you look familiar?"
"Umm...does every cat looks familiar to you without realizing any of it?" Kittithrine stuttered her question,
"Hmm," Scourge stared into Kittithrine's eyes. "Fair enough," he stepped away from her.
Kittithrine sighed in relief,
"But," Scourge spoke. "To do this agreement, I will separate this kit and that kit away from the group."
"What?" Thunderheart, Shadowfang, Pearltail, and Ravenclaw meowed.
Scourge growled as he turned to them, "So we could easily interrogate you four and have these two out of that way unharmed. You don't want that to happen, don't you?"
Thunderheart sighed, "Fine," he hissed. "If you hurt either of them, you'll be next."
Scourge purred his growl, "I'll be looking forward to it,"
As the four warriors stopped growling, Pearltail leaned right next to Crystalkit. "Go," she whispered. "Stay close to her,"
"Okay," Crystalkit nodded. Then she padded to Kittithrine's side,
"Kraeche," Scourge hissed. "Blackriver" suddenly a silver-and-white tabby she-cat with dark blue eyes and a dark cream she-cat with amber eyes came into the clearing. "Take one of these cats to take care of while these cats are being interrogated,"
A dark cream she-cat with amber eyes stepped forward, "I am a mother and a kit of my own," she meowed. "I will take that little kit in for a while, while the interrogation goes on," she turned to the group. "I will take really good care of her,"
Pearltail eyes soften,
Crystalkit looks up at Kittithrine, Kittithrine looks down at her in return.
Kittithrine's warm eyes gazed into her curious eyes, Kittithrine nodded calmly.
Crystalkit nodded back and she padded towards the dark cream she-cat with amber eyes.
"Very good choice Blackriver," Scourge meowed. "Kraeche, your taking care of this kit then."
Kraeche dipped her head, then padded to Kittithrine. "So..." she meowed, "You are a two-leg,"
Kittithrine nodded,
"Hmm...so what's your name for your cat form anyway, kit?'
"Uh..." Kittithrine stuttered, "Well...it's uh..." What am I going to do? Kittithrine panicked from within.
Thunderheart pricked his ears and eyes widened as he jumped to his paws, "Kittyfur," he meowed. Kittithrine and Kraeche turned to him. "Her name is Kittyfur,"
"Kittyfur," Kraeche purred. "Good name," she flicked her tail.
"Alright," Scourge meowed. "Snakevenom, you and the others will be escorting these four cats to the Interrogation Tunnel."
"Yes Scourge," Snakevenom meowed.
"And Lunaflight," he hissed. "You've been needed with Blackfairy, she's our assistants."
"Let me guess," she meowed. "Her stomach is aching again,"
"Indeed, it is." Scourge nodded,
"Then I'll get right on it," Lunaflight padded to her den to gather some herbs.
"Cats of BloodClan," Scourge meowed. "The gathering has been dismissed," then the cats have been scattered.
"Let's go Kittyfur," Kraeche has started to lead Kittithrine as Kittyfur away from the crowd.
"Come on little one," Blackriver showed Crystalkit away from the crowd.
As Thunderheart watches Kittyfur walking with Kraeche into the camp and Crystalkit with Blackriver. Worrying stays with him as he watches then Snakevenom interrupted. "Come on ThunderClan warrior," he meowed. "Let's go," then they have started to walk towards the Integration Tunnel.
"That's a very good name to give her Thunderheart," Pearltail whispered.
"Thanks," he whispered back.
"How did you come up with that name so quickly?" Ravenclaw whispered,
"That's the only name that I could come up ad it pops into my head," Thunderheart answered.
"Well, it's a good start," Shadowfang meowed.
"Sure is," Thunderheart nodded as he and the others kept on walking towards the Integration Tunnel.
