Red struggled to the top of the rise where Badger was already waiting for her. “So you made it.” he said dryly. Red snorted. “I would be faster if I had some food.” badger cast a glare her way. “Well you can thank me now. I found our home.”
Red gasped. The tundra-like territory was u territory’s by a serene forest. She heard a rumble of a river nearby and a breeze ruffled her fur. But it was cold. She puffed out her fur.
Badger grinned at her expression. “Ah, it’s not that bad is it?” Red shot him a playful glare then almost fell over as a ball of white fluff barreled into her. Golden eyes stared up at her. “New cats! I’m so so so excited! Nebula gets boring sometimes. And Alex can be nasty, especially to me.” His face fell for a moment before cheering up again.
“Are you gonna make a Clan? I’d love to join!” Red blinked at the onslaught of questions. “Erm - ” But Badger cit her off.
“Why we sure are, little kit.” Ref blinked. “We are? Badger that’s ridiculous - even for you!”
Badger’s grinned widened. “Think about it my love. Cats to protect us and loyal apprentices to bring us food....I, leader, and you my strong and faithful deputy....” Red puffed out her chest. He would make her second in command? And protect her? Why, that sounded good after all.
“Count me in!” she said. “Me too!” Squeaked the kit. Badger turned back to him. “And you are....?”
“Thyme!”
“Well Thyme, how would you like to be FoxClan’s first apprentice?”
FoxClan. Red knew why Badger had named it that. Sly as a fox, cunning as an eagle - everything he was and wanted his clan to be. Red just ...... knew.
“Yes!” Thyme yelped, jerking Red from her thoughts. Badger nodded. “Then you will be Thymepaw, my apprentice.” Thyme puffed out his chest.
“Now do you know a good place to camp and to speak with the stars?” Thymepaw nodded eagerly. “Yea! Follow me!”
He trotted ahead, his tail waving excitedly in the wind. “I sure hope he knows where he is going.” grumbled Red. “Of course he does.” hissed a voice.
A small cat slid from the bushes, green eyes hostile. Badger puffed himself up to full height (which wasn’t very impressive, but he was still larger than the stranger) when a Thymepaw came running back. “Nebula, sir, it’s ok! We’re friends!”
Nebula glowered at Thymepaw. “Remember what happened last time you trusted foreigners?” Thymepaw froze.
Red drew herself up from her crouch and towered over the smaller cats (well she would like to think she towered; Badger was large for a Munchkin and almost her height) and glowered an Nenula. “What’s in the past is in the past.” she hissed.
Nebula puffed up her fur. “You don’t know what he has done!”
“Erll it can’t be undone, little mouse, can it?” Red hissed. She was surprised at her protectiveness of of Thymepaw, and Badger was nodding approvingly. “What’s going on?”
A mostly white tabby slid into the clearing and Thymepaw buried into his fur. “Alexander I’m so sorry.” He said again, voice muffled by a striped pelt.
The older Tom drew his tail along the youngest side . “Ots ok. It’s done.”
Thymepaw nodded and backed away to a guilty looking Nebula when Bearstar stepped forward. “You two....how would you like to join FoxClan?”
A few days later, Red was organizing patrols. “Alexander ypul go herb hunting - I mean you are the medicine cat. Nebula take Thymepaw hunting and settle your differences. I’ll patrol with Badgerstar.” she said with an affectionate glance at her mate.
Thymepaw leaped up and down eagerly. “Can we train later? Red face him a swift nod before setting it on her patrol.
