Ghostscreech stilled as he watched the birds, his eyes locked onto the bluebird. Giving the signal to Willowsong, he lunged and chased offer the bird. Ghostscreech landed squarely on the bluebird’s back and quickly bit down on its neck and gave thanks to StarClan, thanking them for the catch. He looked over at Willowsong to see if she had caught the cardinal she had been eyeing.

Willowsong sprang out of the bush beside the deputy, delighted to have such an easy catch. She pounced on the cardinal easily and delivered the killing bite. She grinned looking up at Ghostscreech, "It's like greeleaf over here, I can't believe it!"

Silvercloud ran forward to help Skyflight, she went for the rat's back to pull it off Skyflight and immobolize it. Skyflight huffed out a quick thanks as Silvercloud pulled the rat off of her. She got to her paws and with the help of Silvercloud holding it down, delivered a final blow. "I don't think I like my prey being so feisty." Silvercloud twitched her whiskers in amusement. "Makes you wish the birds in our territory, huh?" She looked around and flicked her ear at the openness of the alleyway. "There's no good place to hide that. We'll have to carry it with us."

Skyflight took a closer look at the rat, shuddering as its fangs glistened in the sun. "I'd take a falcon or a hawk on any day over these. I don't know how Shadowclan does it. I'll carry it though, you can lead." The she-cat picked up the rat and began to walk back down the alley the way they came, her eyes sharp for any signs of more movement.

Silvercloud nodded, flashing Skyflight a grateful look for taking the rat. She glanced back, idly wondering how the ThunderClan cats were doing, but she brushed it off. I'm sure they're fine. Silvercloud continued down the alley.

Ghostscreech gave a nod, for once feeling relieved that the idea of hunting in twolegplace would pay off for them, “Come one, we can bury them on the other side of the fence and look for more prey. I doubt any birds will come back here for awhile.” He said, picking the bluebird up and nodding to Willowsong.

Skyflight followed after Silvercloud silently as she carried the rat through the alley. She looked up at the roofs around them, wondering how easy she would be able to climb up them and search for prey. She would certainly feel more at home up there than stuck on the ground.
Willowsong picked up her cardinal and carefully climbed back over the fence, moving to a nearby tree to bury their prey under. Once her cardinal was buried, she turned back to the deputy, eager to keep hunting with him.

Would you like them to interact with the more mellow small Twolegplace cats, or be more involved in the more hardcore city cat gangs we have going on?) (I like the sound of the more hardcore city cat gangs XD)

Ghostscreech hurried after Willowsong, climbing over the fence and burying his bluebird along with her cardinal. Flicking his ear, Ghostscreech scented the air again and searching for some more prey. The deputy froze for a moment, catching an unfamiliar scent. Was it a hostile kittypet or loner? He signaled to Willowsong, his ears alert.

Mist
╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝ Mist watched a pale white tom with darker stripes and a smoky-colored she-cat with white splotches appear from over the fence, both quickly burying their birds. She lingered close to the ground, almost in a defensive crouch, until Pebble decided to cheerfully bound forward. Mousebrain! Mist cursed. Don't do that! But it was too late-- the damage had already been done.
"Hello there!" Pebble mewed with his high-pitched, kitten-like voice. "How are you today?"
Mist shook her head and followed her brother forward. "You shouldn't just approach strange cats like that!" she scolded. "What if they decide to eat you?"
"They won't eat me!" Pebble declared before pausing for a moment and glancing at the two senior cats. "You won't eat me, right?"
Mist shook her head. "That's beside the point, Pebble-- you're being mouse-brained. We need to go back to our den--"
"But they have birds! We've never had a bird before, Mist, and it'd be so wonderful to have something other than a mouse, wouldn't it?" Pebble's eyes gleamed brightly like shining stars and Mist knew that the battle had been lost before it could really be won. She glanced up at the two warriors and released a sigh.
"We may as well introduce ourselves, then," she murmured. "My name is Mist, and this is my littermate, Pebble."
"Nice to meet you both!" the tom mewed. "What are your names?"

Willowsong looked at the young cats, completely bewildered. She had been so caught up in her hunt with Ghostscreech that she hadn't even scented other cats nearby. "Oh um, I'm Willowsong. This is Ghostscreech, deputy of Thunderclan. Are you two kittypets?" she asked rather nervously. She glanced at Ghostscreech before taking a step closer to him, wondering what the deputy thought of the two strange cats in front of them.

Mist
╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝ "No." Mist stated it as matter-of-factly as she could. "We're survivors. We don't need stupid Twolegs as housefolk like the fat, lazy cats that live all over the place."
"It's a bit mean to call them lazy," Pebble mewed. "They like simple lives, that's all, and we don't."
Mist rolled her eyes. When had the kittypets ever been anything more than spoiled, lazy, and unhelpful? Sure, a few had been kind and shared a mouse now and then, but by and large the kittypets of Twolegplace were unbearable. The worst of the kittypets had been a cat named Emmy-- she'd nearly gotten them both captured by the Twolegs, but a loner named Ragweed had saved them at the last moment. The old cat had died just a half moon later from a sickness and had warned them of the horrors of Twolegs-- how cruel they could be to animals that live in their homes especially, not just wild animals.

Ghostscreech had tensed up when Pebble and Mist had run out of the bushes, but relaxed slightly once he saw that they were only kits— they looked to be apprentice age at least. He glanced over at Willowsong when she gave them their names before looking back at Mist and Pebble, flicking his ear when they said they weren’t kittypets. “If you aren’t kittypets, then what are you doing out here alone?” He asked, having only picked up their scent and no one else’s. His eyes scanned the surrounding area as he spoke, looking for any kind of danger. Even if the kits appeared to be alone, he didn’t want to risk being ambushed by any cat that could be lurking in the shadows.

Skyflight followed after Silvercloud silently as she carried the rat through the alley. She looked up at the roofs around them, wondering how easy she would be able to climb up them and search for prey. She would certainly feel more at home up there than stuck on the ground. Silvercloud curled her lip with disgust at the twoleg trash littering the alley. This place was bound to have more rats--maybe even a mouse--but she wasn't seeing any. "If you want," Silvercloud turned to Skyflight when she noticed the she-cat looking upward. "I can hold onto that rat and you can check the rooftops for birds?"

╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝ Pebble paused and turned to Mist, waiting to see if she would answer the deputy's question.She merely glared at her brother and he lowered his head, shame flooding his pelt; any cat would've been able to sense it. "We live in a few bushes not far from here," he mewed after looking up again. "Just the two of us. We hunt-- well, Mist hunts for our food. I'm not a very good hunter at all."

Willowsong frowned as her eyes scanned the young cat's almost skeletal figures. It was obvious they must be hungry and tired after being alone for so long. She moved closer to Ghostscreech, whispering in his ear so the kits in front of them couldn't hear them. "They're practically starving, we can't leave them out here can we?"
Skyflight blinked as she moved over towards the alley wall, dropping the rat by it. "I can try, the faster we find prey the faster we can get out of here." With one last nervous glance toward Silvercloud she assessed the side of the twoleg building. It seemed to have a weird branch growing out of the side of it in a sleek black color. She padded over to it and tested it with one paw, her claws didn't pierce the strong material at all. Assessing the alley again she noticed further down a large tree growing in the twoleg path. She bounded over to it and began climbing easily, she had always felt at home among the branches. She flashed Silvercloud a grin before leaping from the highest sturdy branch to the twoleg roof.

Featherfoot had guided Tigerpaw through the edges of Twolegplace, managing to catch two squirrels with far less trouble than he expected. Compared to the forest, the Twolegplace truly was teeming with prey. He thanked Starclan that twolegs loved to feed the prey during the colder moons. That must have been why.
He stopped for a moment to gaze at one of the fences where he knew Suki and Indigo had liked to sit and watch the twolegplace activity throughout the day. As much as he loved his life back home in Thunderclan, he would never deny that this place had been his home once, and that he would never stop caring about the cats who helped to raise him.

Ghostscreech flicked his ear, looking at Willowsong when she whispered to him. He had also noticed how thin the two were, “No, I suppose we can’t. But how can we bring them back to camp with us? We’re in the middle of a prey shortage. They would be extra mouths to feed.” Ghostscreech said quietly. He didn’t like the idea of leaving them to fend for themselves, but he also had to think of ThunderClan’s own kits and elders that needed prey as well.

Silvercloud chuckled at SKyflight's quick scurry up the tree. She picked up the rat and moved to the tree to wait next to it.

Willowsong sighed, glancing back over at Pebble and Mist with guilt in her eyes. She stepped away from the deputy, allowing the young cats to hear what she was saying. "I know that, but the warrior code says we're supposed to help any kit in need regardless of clan or background. They're barely old enough to be apprentices and obviously have no skills to survive out here. They'll die if we don't help them Ghostscreech."

Skyflight took a deep breath, feeling much more at home now that she was high up in the air. She quickly spotted a few birds settled on an adjacent roof. She crouched taking in her surroundings. She would have to be quick and make sure she did not startle them until she was close otherwise, they would easily escape. Skyflight inched her way across the roof, before jumping across to the other side out of site of the birds. When she was sure they were all distracted, she darted over the top of the roof towards the birds, leaping through the air at the nearest one. She grinned as she landed on the sparrow, killing it quickly.
Suddenly, she felt herself begin to slide on the roof, she had never been on such a strange sloped surface before. She yelped, pulling her sparrow with her. Skyflight caught herself by digging her claws into the shingles after she had slid down the roof a whole foxlength. She shook, heart pounding at the thought of sliding off the edge.

Mist
╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝ "Warrior code?" Pebble's interest peaked at the mention of-- whatever that was. Mist had never heard of it. "What's a warrior? Why do they have a code? And what's a Clan? And an apprentice--"
"We've taken care of ourselves for these last two moons," Mist hissed, though it came out as more of a kitten's angry mew. "I've been feeding us both well enough and we have a home here-- we can't just leave it."
Pebble turned his head to his littermate. "But we wouldn't have to be alone," he pointed out. "It wouldn't all be on you all of the time."
Mist's pelt bristled. "You make it sound like I don't want to do it!"
"I know you do, Mist." Pebble padded up to his sister and touched his nose to her muzzle. "And I'd do the same if I could, but I can hardly catch a beetle, let alone a mouse."
Mist turned her eyes back on the two wildcats. "I'm sorry for being rude," she mewed after a moment, "but I want some questions answered... What are warriors, where are you wanting to take us, and would any harm come to Pebble if something happened to him? I've been feeding us both because he can't hunt."

Ghostscreech opened his mouth to respond to Willowsong when Pebble started talking. The deputy watched as the two kits argued with each other, glancing at Willowsong when Mist started asking her questions. “We are warriors. We hunt to feed our clan and fight to protect it. As for where we’re taking you, that is if you decide to come with us, you would be coming with us back to ThunderClan. There you can train to be a warrior as well, that way Pebble wouldn’t have to rely on you to hunt for him or to fight for him.” Ghostscreech said, flicking his ear.

Willowsong nodded, "You two look to be over 6 moons right? Our leader Lightningstar would probably make you apprentices. You would have a mentor who would train you to fight and hunt for the good of our clan. There are many cats in Thunderclan, we all look out for one another and try to live peacefully with the other four clans."

Mist
╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝ Mist turned to look at her brother and noticed just how thin they both were for the first time in a long time. She'd done her best, and it hadn't been enough. A few mice every couple of days was hardly filling and, as much as she hated to admit it, she wouldn't be able to protect Pebble forever. The she-cat's tail flicked and her head tilted to one side. "Is this something you're interested in?" she mewed quietly.
"I think it is," he replied. "You'd get a break from taking care of me-- it's the least you deserve for all the work you've done. Who knows, maybe these cats can teach me to hunt. It'd be good to learn to take care of myself one day, and I know I want to be able to take care of you, too."
Though he had said this, Mist knew that it was her decision to make. Pebble wouldn't leave her-- and she wouldn't leave him either if she could help it. If she went with the strange cats, he would follow. If she stayed, he would stay as well. "We can give it a try." Her blue eyes turned from Pebble to the two warriors. "We're eight moons old," she mewed. "Our mother, Macadamia, was struck on a thunderpath in Twolegplace a little over two moons ago. I'm willing to try because I haven't been able to teach Pebble, but maybe some other cat can. Worst comes to worst, I've learned some more and can take care of him better." She turned to Pebble again. Her brother's blue eyes gleamed like bright blue water beneath a bright red dawn sky. "We can leave at any time."
"Thank you," he mewed. "I don't think we'll regret this."

Ghostscreech flicked his ear and stood up, “Very well then. Let’s get going.” He said to the kits before looking at Willowsong, “We should try to find a couple more birds before we meet up with the others. I don’t want SkyClan to think we were slacking off while everyone else was busy hunting.” He said to her, scenting the air.

Bear
He trotted happily through the forest, stumbling into a dark brown she-cat. "Sorry!" He exclaimed, as he backed away cautiously. She turned to face him. "It's alright." She said with a smile. "I'm Vixen." The she-cat, now known as Vixen, said. She had a rather friendly tone that made the tom trusting of her. "What are you doing out here all alone?" She purred, coming closer to him. "Hunting." He replied vaguely, keeping his distance. "I don't bite." Vixen stated, blinking her big eyes. "Could I join you?" She asked. Bear nodded, and led the way to his favorite hunting spot.
