Chapter 9

In the morning, Thunderheart woke up and found himself in a comfortable nest and the sun warming his pelt. He slowly turned his head and found out that the two-legged she-kit is not there anymore. Hmm...I guess that I am not going to have fresh kill right now. Thunderheart thought, suddenly his stomach has rumbled. He sighed, I guess that I could try to move a bit when he moved his legs. They are stiff as a stick; he grunts and groans then he laid back down. Perhaps not, then his ear twitched and turned his head to the left. He saw the two-legged she-kit from last night,

"Morning," she mewed. "I see that your awake but not up,"

I'm trying to, he thought as he tried to stand up.

"Don't move too much," the two-legged she-kit mewed. "The vet said that you might get sure once you're awake,"

Vet? Thunderheart's ears pricked up, Wait, I have been to the Cutter? Then his stomach growled,

"Oh, you're hungry," she turns her head left and right. "I've snuck these out from their trap, I thought that you would like them before eating the kibble."

Kibble? He thought, You mean the rabbit droppings? Then the two-legged she-kit pulled out two live mice, "Mouse," he purred.

"Here's one," she gently handed over to him. Thunderheart picked it up with his jaws, held it between his paws, and begun to eat.

Oh StarClan, he purred as he eats. This is nice and tender,

"Here's another one, just in case." She handed him the other mouse, then Thunderheart picked it up with his jaws, held it between his paws, and begun to eat. "I don't know how you like this type of water but..." she scooped something out of a shiny thing and held something green in her front paw. "Would this work?" she showed it to him,

"Moss...freshwater..." he started to drink water from the moss.


Once he is done, the two-legged she-kit put the moss away and petted his head gently. Thunderheart purred, "Thank you," he meowed.

"I'm not sure that is a thank you but you're welcome," she mewed as her lips are curled.

Is this the way she purrs or something? Thunderheart wondered, then he heard a noise. He and the two-legged kit looked and saw the two-legged grown up.

The older two-leg spoke to the two-legged she-kit,

"Yes mom," the two-legged she-kit nodded. "I will do my homework till I'm finished taking care of him,"

The full-grown two-leg meowed,

"I know that mom but...the vet said that he needs the help of feeding him before he could move and do it on his own."

The full-grown two-leg growled,

"It's what the vet has instructed me and I am doing so,"

The full-grown to-leg sighed and mewed,

"Don't worry I will," then the full-grown two-leg has left. "Sorry about that, my mom always strict when I am doing something else than my homework."

Homework? Thunderheart thought as he tilted his head to one side,

"Never mind," the two-legged she-kit shook her head. "Just try to relax, and go easy on moving if you want to. I'll be on the computer if you ever need me," she stood up and walked away.

Computer? Okay, names for two-legs are weird...but... he laid his head back down. I wondered if I was being missed? He closed his eyes and falls back asleep.


While he is sleeping, Thunderheart is dreaming that he is in a forest, sitting for a moment. He can feel no aching pains for a moment, then he decided to move. Before he could, he suddenly smelled something oddly familiar scent in the air. "Thunderheart," a warm voice meowed. He turned around; he saw a dark ginger she-cat with bright green eyes standing right next to a flower. She is purring, "I was wondering when I was going to meet you,"

"Who...who are you?" Thunderheart meowed,

"You don't recognize my scent, don't you?"

"Hardly,"

The dark ginger purred, "I am your mother, my dear,"

"Mother...Phoenixtail?"

Phoenixtail nodded as she purred,

"Mother," he ran to her and he rubs against her, and Phoenixtail rubs him back. "Finally, I got a chance to meet you,"

"Yes, you did,"

"Is ThunderClan alright?" they both look at each other, "How is my father, Yellowstar...Stungfang, and the kit? Are they all alright?"

"They're fine," Phoenixtail meowed. "But your father was heartbroken when he heard when he lost you, or so he thought. The kit is in perfect health now, she will make it through."

"That's great,"

"But why won't you come home now? To ThunderClan that is?"

"I've been wounded, and I am sore all over, it's going to take me a while to get back on my paws."

"I see, but I am glad that you are safe with a two-leg." Thunderheart prick up his ears,

"How did you know that?"

"A rose-cream tabby told me,"

"StarRose?"

"Is that her name?" Phoenixtail tilted her head as she purred, "In your voice, I can sense that you have met her. She told me that you were found and taken care of by a two-leg kit, and she showed me the way to meet you here."

"I'm glad that you did, for a moment I thought that I was going to meet you in StarClan. But if it was not for that cat, I..."

"What cat?"

"A very, very pale ginger she-cat with stardust-pelt and a white patch that is in a shape of a star on her forehead, and she has turquoise eyes along with a long blue ribbon around her neck."

Phoenixtail tilted her head,

"I don't know how she could save me but...I got a feeling that she is connected to that cat on that day,"

"Why is that?"

"She and the cat smell the same, their fur pelts are the same, their eyes the same, even their voice sounds like the same."

"Voice?"

"I don't know how to explain it but...I am betting in my tail that she has that cat who came and saved me before she did,"

"We'll see about it, but..."

"But what?"

"Our visit time is short; I have something else to tell you before I could go."

"What is it?"

"Your friends from RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and the kit are coming to get you."

"The kit!" Thunderheart jumped, "Pearlpaw, Shadowpaw, and Ravenpaw are coming too?"

"Their names are Pearltail, Shadowfang, and Ravenclaw now."

Thunderheart purred, "If they are coming, what I must do now?"

"You wait and they will tell you all the detail about it when you are heading back home." Then she felt a chilling wind blowing against her coat, "Our time is almost up, I must get back to StarClan now."

"Before you could go, could you tell my father that I am still alive and well?"

"I'll see what I can do but remember. I will still be watching over you, even though you might be far away. I will still know that you are okay,"

"Thanks, mother,"

Phoenixtail licked his ear, "Your welcome, my little fire." Then she has suddenly disappeared without a trace. All at once, the dream world has gone from white to black.


When Thunderheart woke up, he lifted his head and begun to wonder. Fire...where did I hear that before? But...I wonder if my friends know my name? He looks into the sky, At least that I know that StarClan is still watching over me,

"Shoot," the voice from the two-legged she-kit screamed. He can see that she is burying her face into her front paws.

Maybe I could use my time wisely to be with her, he slowly moved and begun to slowly pad to her. Once he is at her side, he jumped onto her hind legs.

"Oh, hey there," the two-legged she-kit meowed. "Did I wake you?"

"No," he mewed, and he slowly lay on her legs.

"You can stay here for a little while, but not too long." She curved her lips,

This is the only way, that could make us happy. He lies comfortably on the two-legged she-kit's hind legs while she is doing something on the computer.
