leopardstrom and her sisters ran as far as they could till they stoped at a stream "lets stop for the night. darkswiral you and i hunt. snowkit you find a place to sleep" and the cats broke up.
once darkswiral had caughten quite a bit of prey she crept up on a scrany vole and lept on it hittoing it to where it couldn't run she then riped off a chunck of flesh exposing its spine then taking a faether from a thrush she had just killen and was rubing it on the inside of its spine in sheer crulty laughing as it wriggled in pain

leopardstrom heard somthing and went over. shew was shocked at the sheer brutality. she ran over and hit the mouse killing it instantly. " we respect our food! we don't kill to hurt we kill to live! what's your problem" leopardstrom yellded at her sister
darkswiral thought for a minute. it was all she had ever known you got food then you play with an animal till it is boring. she started to ponder then just headed back with all the prey even the mouse

Breathless and exhausted, four cats skidded to a stop at the edge of a small clearing. The oldest, a brown she-cat, raised her muzzle to scent the air. She grimaced, shuddering slightly as she was hit by a familiar scent.
"Twolegplace," Mocha muttered, her nose wrinkling in distaste. "I'd hoped never to return here..." Her voice trailed off as three years' conflicting memories flew back to her.
Songpaw pressed her nose into her friend's side comfortingly. "But they were here! They must have stopped, if we've finally nearly caught up with them." Her sweet voice and sensible words broke through Mocha's thoughts, and she shook her head, once again remembering where she was.
"C'mon, let's get moving!" Twistpaw's annoyed voice rang out, making them all jump. Eaglepaw purred with ammusement as Mocha shot him a dark look and Songpaw chuckled softly.
"He's right, you know. Let's go!" Eaglepaw stepped forwrd at almost the same moment as her brother, looking back over her shoulder as she added, "You two coming or not?"
***
"Hey, there they are!"
Songpaw raised her head at the sound of her brother's voice, running now to keep pace with the small tom. The group of four reached Snowkit just before Leopardstrom and Darkswiral came padding back, their jaws clamped full of prey. The four newcommers slowed their pace, walking calmly over to the group of three.
"Hi, everyone! What's up?"

Biscuit noticed some cats walking by. She used to be a clan cat herself, she sniffed the air. "Are you clan cats?" She asked.

Surprised, the cats glanced around at the sound of another's voice. Mocha, still not quite clear as to exactly what a Clan was, simply sat there looking confused; Songpaw, Eaglepaw, and Twistpaw nodded brightly, looking curiously at the stranger.

leopardstrom perked her ears. then dropped the prey and headed over "what are you doing here?" she sighed " i thought you'd out grow running off once you were aprintanced"dark swiral set back not following her sisters feeling like she wasn't wanted and left out. for a moment she looked for another mouse but stoped thinking that would put her over the edge. snowkit ran up to mocha "did you track us all this way? you look so diffrent than when we first met"

"No... It's been so long" She mewed. "And I can't leave my towleg. She cares about me more than anything, when somthing happens to me she blames herself about it" Biscuit added.

Biscuit rolled her eyes. It was an odd quest. "Good luck with that" Biscuit mewed. Her twoleg picked Biscuit up and took her back in the house.

"Ah. Um... Well..." Nobody could come up with a good explanation as the three apprentices shuffled their feet guiltily. Mocha laughed softly, tunring to the other cats and opening her mouth to speak. Twistpaw broke in first, his voice somewere between nervous and defiant.
"You keep running of, too, and following you is so much more interesting than staying in camp like good little apprentices!"
Now Mocha burst out laughing, unable to speak for several moments. "He's been trying to convince me of more or less the same for hours," she said by way of explanation The older cat poked the smaller one with a paw, knocking him off balance and sending him tumbling onto his side, where he lay, grinning up endearingly at the adults.
Snowkit's words made Mocha turn around. She beamed, but whisked her tail around at the younger triplets. "It's them that did most of the tracking, but thanks anyway. I have to say, out here is much more enjoyable than being in there!" Mocha purred, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Confused at the abscence of Darkswiral, Mocha glanced around. The dark-furred she-cat was several yards off. Mocha called out softly, her voice soft and kind.
"Darkswiral? What are you doing over there?"
Taking her eyes off the third sister at Leopardstrom's words, mocha nodded absent-mindedly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the three apprentices run off to join the older cats, but she wasn't really paying attention, even as she herself padded across to the other cats, thinking over something Katrina had once told her. The girl had been talking about themselves and Sandy, but it seemed to alply more, now, to the sisters' predicament.
If we're ever going to live in peace, three must become one... Not likely, I know, by if we don't try-if we don't hope-who knows what will happen?
That had been a year ago, and now Mocha knew what had happened; the three had become two first, then split again into three. As little as Mocha regreted her descision, she still wondered what would have happened if she, Katrina, and Sandy had learned to live together.
Whatever happened, she would not let the sisters make that same mistake.

leopardstrom glanced at her sister "come on over. i know you're not quite and shy infact i've got the scars to prove it" she said. darkswiral hoped over trying to figure out wether it was an insult or just playful. she decided it was nothing. but a part of her still wanted to rip the fur off of somthing. snowkit just smiled at the apprenticas.

Suddenly, a huge yawn split Eaglepaw's face almost in half. Rather embarressed, she curled her tail around her mouth as her siblings prred with amusement. Mocha smiled softly, looking down at the younger cat with kind eyes. "You should get some sleep." The she-cat blinked as she, too gave a yawn, smaller then Eaglepaw's but no less expressive. "For that matter, we all should." The apprentices nodded gratfully at Mocha's words, finding a spot of soft moss to curl up in together. For the first time since they had become apprentices, the three curled up as one, full and warm and dry, for the time being not quite caring about the hazards of tomorrow.

Picabo was wandering. She sniffed a couple of cats she didn't reconize. She watched from the bushes. Picabo was curious though. So she walked up to them. She stood her ground in case they were hostile.

Twistpw yawned, his eyes fluttering open as he did so. Glancing around, he realized that his siblings were still asleep; the apprentice poked his nearest sister, who happened to be Songpaw, with one large paw. The smaller cat grunted, flipped over, and emitted a few mewling sounds of distress that Twistpaw suspected had something to do with his intrusion into her dreams.
Sighing, Twistpaw heaved himself up and padded over to the other end of the seven cats' sleeping area. Leopardstrom was awake, and Twistpaw padded over to say hello. Before he got very far, though, another cat came padding along.
"Who are you?" Twistpaw asked as he came to stand beside the older cat, a yawning Mocha leading two grumbling apprentices behind him. His tone, though slightly wary, was more welcoming than suspicious.

Zabuza padded along with Haku. Zabuza sniffed the air. "I smell prey" He spat. That was his way of saying 'i smell cats, i want to kill them' Haku nodded, and sniffed the air. "Indeed"

"Master, how long will this take?" Haku whispered. "It could take 3 seconds to 3 moons for all I care" Zabuza replied.
