“Those who fight monsters

Information

• Live on an island

• Prey is relatively scarce

• The island is home to a very ferocious bear

• Have special customs

• Very muscular, strong-built cats

• The Clan is seen as resilient, tough, and strong, but also distant and reluctant to help others

Territory

BearClan lives on an island with several mountain ranges, cliffs, and caves. Their camp is in a valley where a river runs. The camp is wedged between the bottoms of two mountains. The island is located in a lake.

Customs

• The Clan must have population control and make sure only the strongest can live among their ranks

• Once an apprentice becomes a warrior, they are given 3 pebbles of a unique color

• Every other moon, a pebble is drawn. Whoever’s pebble is drawn has to go challenge the bear. If they win and return home, they are safe...for now. But if not...they become the bear’s dinner.

• Once all of a cat’s 3 pebbles are drawn, they no longer have to be subjected to the Bear. If they survive the 3rd challenge, they are promoted to senior warrior and are usually given some privileges

• Only cats who have survived the 3 challenges may become deputy/leader

•There are very little elders in the Clan since most die young. However, an elder is made if a senior warrior retires or is too injured/sick to keep up their warrior duties

• If a regular warrior becomes critically injured or sick(such as breaking a limb or having a sever case of greencough), they will be fed Deadly Nightshade, a swift way to die, and will be honored and buried. This is to save the cat from suffering. They by no means kill one of their own maliciously. (Besides, you know, feeding them to the bear)

• Only warriors may be challengers. Queens are not subjected. However, once their kits are apprenticed, their stones can be drawn again.

• Queens may only have 1 litter. However, since a single kit is an unlucky sign, if their first litter only has 1 kit, they may have a second one. But if the second litter only has 1, the Queen cannot have any more.

• Each cat have 2 mates but that's it. One litter per mate pair

• Medicine-Cats may have mates but may not have any kits

• Most of the Clan members are scarred. Some have missing ears, eyes and limbs, but these are extremely rare. Normally, every cat that has survived has a little nick or pelt scar

should make sure that they do not become a monster. ”

Slatestar sat perched on the outcrop that poked out from the cave he used as his den. He closed his eyes and felt the wind blow through his fur. He enjoyed the warmth of the sun as it tried to break through the clouds. He sighed and jumped down, leaving camp to start the day.

The two BearClan members layed lazily in the sun. Something about the warm rays banished all worry from their minds. Sandstep had her head on her paws. Her tail flicked every so often at the annoying flies that occasionally pestered her. Slatestar gazed fondly at her. They had been Clanmates for around a moon and, since it was only the two of them, he had grown rather close to his deputy. He trusted her with everything. He felt odd thinking this. The tom hadn't been able to say that about many cats he had met over his lifetime. However, the pale ginger she-cat had instantly clicked as a trustworthy character. Slatestar stretched his paws out while laying on his side. Heaving a sigh, he blinked at Sandstep, meeting her eyes. "Is this all we're doing today, Slatestar?" She asked quietly. "Why, do you want to do something different?" He meowed back, a teasing tone in his voice. She cleared her throat. "N-No, I like being lazy as much as any other cat," she explained "but when I joined, you told me it would be difficult. Not to be rude but this isn't exactly my idea of rigorous work and painful survival." The she-cat twitched her whiskers in amusement. Slatestar just blinked. "Um. Well." He stuttered, not knowing how to respond. Sandstep rose to her feet and arched her back, parting her jaws in a wide yawn. After her stretch, she padded up to her leader. "You said deputies organize patrols, right?" she recalled. Slatestar smiled and nodded. "Well, then I'm choosing you to come on a patrol with me. Then we can both hunt." She decided, walking off. As she was leaving, she turned around to face him, a spark of playfulness in her eyes. "Don't worry. When we get back we can go back to being lazy fatcats." Slatestar chuckled, amused and pleased at her eagarness and dedication to her role already. He pulled himself to his feet and followed her out of the camp.

Sandstep worked her claws into the ground nervously. Dunewing has been a part of the Clan for about a Moon now and he was doing well. However, there was guilt that the fluffy tom brought with him. For Sandstep, anyways. Her beloved brother. That’s who Dunewing reminded her of. Her poor brother who was probably starving out in the mountains somewhere. While thinking of this, another wave of determination tackled her. The deputy was going to ask her leader to kindly allow her to search for Viper. “Sandstep?” Slatestar’s voice rang “You wanted to speak with me?” Sandstep took a deep breath, nodded and followed him into the den.

Cedarsplash tossed the moss ball from the nursery. The three kits scrambled over each other to get to it first, but Squirrelkit was small enough to wiggle past her sisters and pounce on the bundle first. Adderkit and Fogkit skidded to a halt behind her, sighing. “I’m the leader again!” Squirelkit boasted proudly. “S-Squirelkit, could I maybe be leader?” Fogkit asked shyly “I never have been.” Squrrelkit furrowed her brow. “But I caught the moss ball.” Adderkit stepped forward. “You’ve been leader the past three times.” She pointed out. Her sister just shrugged. “The rules say that whoever gets the ball first gets to lead the clan against the badger. It’s not my fault you two are so slow.” She huffed, turning sharply and trotting with her tail in the air. “Stormpaw! It’s time for you to be the badger!” She called. When the grey tom appeared from behind a stone, Squirrelkit called her ‘clan’ to fight against it. Fogkit and Adderkit exchanges a glance, then followed their sister into battle.


From the edge of the camp, Sandstep and Cindertail watched the kittens play. The deputy sighed, giggling as she watched Squirrelkit tackled Stormpaw. “Aren’t they the cutest things?” She purred. Cindertail hummed in agreement. “They’re a joy to watch. I can’t believe they’re growing up so fast.” He purred. “Do you want a family?” Sandstep asked him, turning her attention away from the kits to her companion. Cindertail tilted his head. “Yea, I do.” He confirmed “I want a big family. One that I can watch grow. My goal is to see my kits have kits. What about you?” His eyes lit up as he described his hopes. “I hope you get that dream. As for me, I don’t think I’d be the right fit. I like kits, but I think I’d rather help the entire clan that my own separate kits. I want to help others more than myself, you know?” Cindertail nodded with a smile. “I knew you’d say something like that. You seem like the ‘mother of all’ type.” The two cats shared a laugh before Slatestar cake up to them. “Are you two ready for patrol?” He asked. Cindertail got to his paws and nudged the leader, who he had become quick friends with. “Whenever you are!” He purred. The leader nodded. “Let’s go then.” He started towards the camp entrance, Cindertail and Dunewing falling behind him. “C’mon, Stormpaw!” Sandstep called to the apprentice. He said his goodbyes to his playmates and joined the patrol, exiting the camp last.

Cindertail walked solemnly behind the rest of his patrol. His grey/brown tail dragged lightly on the ground and his paws felt heavy. The warrior kept his eyes trained on the grass-patched dirt that made up the patrol path. There were small puddles that dotted the route, a little obstruction compared to the flood that took over more that a quarter of the eastern patrol path. Cindertail flicked his ear. A whole moon and it still hadn’t cleared up. What if it never did? What if the water just kept edging closer and closer to the camp and the entire of BearClan drowned? Cindertail let out a deep sigh. He worried too much. His mother constantly told him so. A pang of sadness clawed at his heart. His mother. The only molly that had cared for and loved him. Had. Until she was slain at the claws of his deranged father. The sadness was replaced with a quick flash of anger, before changing into longing and despair. He wanted someone. Someone who would love him like he wanted. Someone who actually cared about him and how he felt. Sure, Dunewing and the rest of the Clan supported him and tolerated him. But to Cindertail, no one truly loved him. He sent up a silent, desperate prayer to StarClan, willing them to send someone, anyone, to send a gorgeous she-cat that could be his.

It had been a Moon since Cindertail’s patrol had brought back the five mystery cats that had claimed to come from a far off Clan. Several questions had risen into the tom’s, and most of the rest of the Clan’s, minds. One in particular was why they had come. No one had asked them and frankly, Cindertail assumed it was because they were either too scared, or they didn’t want to seem blunt and drive them away. He watched two of them now, Rabbitspark and Quailthroat. The only She-cats that had been part of the group. Quailthroat was lounging in the sun, Rabbitspark laying beside her. Both were just conversing, minding their own business. Cindertail, however, was alone, hiding in the shade of the large oak tree that overshadowed the BearClan camp. He watched the pair intently, the urge to find answers pounding in his brain. Perhaps if he could get close enough, he could simply ask them as a friend. That seemed harmless enough, right? No cat got hurt, and he’d make a new friend as well as getting the information he wanted to. Guilt suddenly swamped the young tom. He wasn’t like this. Some mastermind controlling, manipulating, and persuading cats until he got what he wanted. The feeling made him sick to his stomach. Swallowing, he pushed the thought to the side and tried to think of other ways he could know things, without seeming like a bad character. Maybe if he just tried to be nice to the cats, they’d tell him eventually. Besides, if they were here on malicious duties, the Clan would know sooner than later. Cindertail shrugged, his brown and black fur swaying as a gust of wind gently blew through the shadows. He licked his chops and stood up nervously, shaking his pelt to get rid of dust, as well as some of the anxiety that was clinging to him like fleas. Taking a deep breath, he stepped out into the sun, greeted by its warmth. ‘You’re not doing any harm, Cindertail.’ He told himself, pondering its truth ‘Just be nice. And don’t be an idiot.’ He kept his eyes glued to the pretty Rabbitspark. She would be the one he’d befriend, considering Quailthroat was a queen who was expecting another tom’s kits. Cindertail stoped his train of thought. ‘I’m not going to be her mate.’ He clarified ‘Just her friend, that’s all.’ Rolling his eyes at himself, he noticed that his approach had caught the two’s attention. Once he got close enough, he was caught off guard by Rabbitspark’s smile. “Hey, Cindertail!” She greeted cheerfully “What’s up?” Cindertail felt his jaw slack and his tail droop. ‘YOU IDIOT!’ He cursed himself ‘YOU DIDNT EVEN THINK OF AN EXCUSE TO TALK TO HER?! WHAT KIND OF PLANNER ARE YOU?” But he forced himself to keep a straight face. He cleared his throat and asked her the first thing that popped into his head, “Uh...wanna hunt?” He blurted, voice sounding extremely awkward. Rabbitspark flashed a small look at Quailthroat and giggled. “Sure why not.” She meowed, laughter still in her throat “Who’s coming with us?” Cindertail was about to tell her how he kinda wished it could be the two of them, but then Cougarleap butted in. “Did I hear someone say hunting?” He asked loudly. Cindertail sighed quietly. “Um yea I just asked Rabbitspark if she wanted to go.” He confirmed. Then, after a few seconds, he added, “Would...you like to come too?” Cougarleap smiled widely. “I mean, if you insist!” He agreed “I’d love to see more of the territory!” He turned around and headed toward the enterance, tail high in the air. “Come on guys what are you waiting for?” He called back. Cindertail grumbled and looked at Rabbitspark, who mouthed a ‘sorry’ and followed her friend. “You know I’m leading the trip, right?” Cindertail reminded them, Cougarleap in particular, “You haven’t even seen half of the territory.” The dark tom met up with the two and then brushed past them. “You should change that!” Cougarleap meowed, and followed Cindertail and Rabbitspark out the tunnel.

Stormpaw was sprawled in his nest, tail spread out on the floor and his belly facing the ceiling of the den, which was carved out of the canyon wall. Since his mentor, Sandstep, was out looking for her brother, she had allowed him to have the majority of the day to himself, as long as he would put all of his remaining energy into a training session later that day. He had, obviously, agreed. Sleeping in, being lazy around camp, isn’t that every cat’s dream? However, without other apprentices to share his den, Stormpaw was starting to get a lonely feeling. All of the older warriors were probably patrolling or hunting, or they just didn’t want to be bothered. And there were no elders to keep him occupied with stories about their past adventures. The grey tom suppressed a deep sigh. He rolled onto his side and flicked his ear out of boredom. It wasn’t even sunhigh yet! What was he going to do? Almost as soon as he thought that, a high pitched squeal case from outside. Stormpaw felt a smile creep onto his face. The kits! They would play with him! After all, that was their main duty. He scrambled to his paws and popped his head out of the den, scanning the clearing to find his soon-to-be playmates. His eyes caught a grey and white bundle of fluff turning her head from side to side, obviously looking for something. He tilted his head curiously. As he walked out into the sunlight, he saw Fogkit dash around the boulder that the kits had claimed as their play territory. A small squeal followed and Fogkit returned, now accompanied by Squirrelkit, who was hanging her head. Adderkit poked her head out from behind a hole in the canyon wall, a smile on her face. “Did I win?” She called happily, smiling even wider when Squirrelkit nodded sadly. Stormpaw chuckled and walked up to them. “Hello ladies!” He greeted. The three kits chuckled and blinked up at him. They weren’t as small as they were when they had joined the Clan two moons ago, in fact, Fogkit was up to Stormpaw’s shoulder and Squirrelkit and Adderkit weren’t too far behind. Probably why they were having a bit more trouble playing hide and seek. “May I join?” He asked the trio, hoping they’d agree. “Sure!” Squirrelkit chirped “Playing with four is a lot more fun!” Adderkit shrugged and Fogkit just stared at him, a prime example of the shyness she showed the cats who she wasn’t too familiar with. Stormpaw purred and smiled at them. However, the smile quickly turned mischievous. “I have to warn you, though,” He meowed slyly “I’m a beast at Hide N Seek. Don’t be surprised if I won every time.” Adderkit laughed. “Ha!” She shot back “We’ll see about that! Come on, Squirrelkit’s it!” Squirrelkit thumped her bottoms on the ground and closed her eyes, counting slowly. The three remaining cats scattered. Stormpaw rushed to the place he came from earlier, pressing himself behind a small outcrop that jutted out from the rockface near the apprentice’s den. He heard Squirrelkit announce that she was ready and Stormpaw smiled to himself, hoping he wouldn’t be found first.

Sandstep walked peacefully next to Vipersun. It was nice to be beside her brother once more. The walk reminded her of those days when they were kits, when they would rampage through the forests and try to race each other to the tops of hills, pushing each other into the creek, and just spending those lazy days lounging on the warm sand of the shores. The day they were separated was engraved in Sandstep’s brain, that terrible storm that flooded the ravine and swept her brother away. But that didn’t matter now. What mattered was that Vipersun had been found, and they could be a family now. She had missed her brother, her mischief making side-kick, the one cat who would do anything for her and who she would do anything for in return. She sighed happily, pulling herself from her memories and looked at him. Vipersun was gazing up, staring all around at the sights of the BearClan territory. Tall mountains rising in the distance and the trees and bushes surrounding them. The flowers blooming on the sides of the path the patrol was walking, reinforcing the fact that it was now new-leaf. Stormpaw and Dunewing trailed behind, jabbering like sparrows about some dumb argument that they had started the day before. “No!” Stormpaw protested “Tortoises are the small ones!” Dunewing sighed “No, those are turtles.” Stormpaw stuck his nose in the air. “How would you know? You’ve never seen one.” The apprenticed protested stubbornly. Dunewing snuck him a sly look. “And you have?” He shot back, his whiskers twitching in amusement as he saw Stormpaw’s head slowly drop to its original position. “I’ve been around, kid.” Dunewing pointed out “I could tell you about things you’d be begging to see.” Stormpaw smirked. “Oh, yea?” He asked, obviously very curious about the claims the warrior was making. “Well, this one time-” The tom was cut off by a sharp comment from Sandstep. She turned around and stopped the group, glaring at the two toms behind her. “We aren’t here to socialize!” She reminded pointedly “Not to tell stories! That’s what elders are for!” Stormpaw lowered his head. “But we don’t have any elders.” He mumbled, but he quickly shut his mouth when Sandstep’s eyes narrowed to slits. Vipersun looked around, the group standing beneath a tree that held a finch’s nest. There were squirrels running up and down several trees near and in the distance. Vipersun sighed “I’m not sure how you guys get so much prey. You know, with the bear and all.” He stated casually, flicking his ears and letting his eyes wandering. When he looked back at the group, the three cats were all bushed up, their eyes bulging. “T-the what?” Stormpaw choked out, barely above a whisper. He looked like a storm cloud, rumbling and shaking and about to burst. “The bear.” Vipersun repeated, clearly confused “That lives in the mountains.” He gestured to the tallest mountain in sight. It’s snowy peak punctured the clouds and there was a large cave that enveloped the side of its rocky face. Sandstep licked her lips and cleared her throat. “Vipersun. You mean to tell me that there has been a bear living on the island, right above us, and we haven’t known?” Sandstep asked slowly, voice wavering. Vipersun’s ears drooped. “You didn’t know? Almost every rogue in this area knows about him. He’s super intimidating and hates when others steal his stuff, especially his food.” He explained. Dunewing looked from Vipersun to Sandstep. “We need to tell Slatestar.”

~~~~~~

When the group had gotten back, they rushed up to Slatestar’s den, a small hollowed out space in the side of the large rock slab that made up the camp’s back wall. The four cats bounded up the rockslide steps that led to the outcrop where Saltstar addressed the Clan. “Slatestar?” Sandstep called into the den, after the cats were crowded outside (the platform barely fit three cats, let alone three warriors and an almost full-sized apprentice). Slatestar welcomed them in. “How can I help you?” Slatestar asked cautiously, curious but worried. Sandstep stepped in front of the group, pushing Vipersun with her. “Vipersun tells me there is a bear in our territory.” Sandstep reported. “What?!” Slatestar hissed “Is this true?” Vipersun blinked. “Well, technically, you’re in his territory...but yes.” The pale tom confirmed. “And. How dangerous is this thing?” The leader asked his warrior. “Well I mean it’s a bear.” Vipersun scoffed “It’s been known to destroy cats. In fact a cat I knew went exploring in the mountains.” “What happened to him?” Stormpaw asked quietly, stepping closer. Vipersun turned around to face the grey apprentice. “Oh, he came back.” Vipersun assured him, then he turned back to face Slatestar “With his leg chewed off. Scars running down his pelt, and his left ear ripped clean away from his head. He told the story of the bear. How it’d cornered and mauled him until he could escape.” Slatestar clenched his jaw, the grey tom obviously processing and pondering what to do with this information. “What do we do?” Dunewing asked gently. Vipersun blinked at his Clanmates. “Well, the bear probably knows you’re here. It’s only a matter of time before-” Sandstep cut her brother off. “You’re not helping.” She hissed softly. “It’s the truth!” Vipersun spat back “We’re defenseless here! We may have a few warriors, but against a bear we’d all be rendered useless!” Slatestar cleared his throat. The strong leader rose to his paws, sighing heavily and walking up to Vipersun. “What do you suggest we do to prevent it coming for us, then?” He asked firmly, eyes glassy and muscles tensed. Vipersun blinked and lowered his gaze. “You could always talk to it.” He suggested, murmuring. “Talking? To a bear?” Dunewing exclaimed “That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard! Bears can’t talk!” Vipersun shook his head. “Rogan said the bear spoke to him, taunted him, willed him to get up and fight.” He insisted “It may be a bit broken, but the bear knows catspeak.” Dunewing rolled his eyes. “Okay, sure.” He meowed sarcastically “So what if it did? What would you do? Ask it nicely not to come and devour us all? He’d kill us before we even got one word out! You’re insane, Vipersun! Slatestar, you can’t seriously be considering this!” The four cats turned to their leader, one hopeful, one in disbelief, one in desperation, and one in horror. “Slatestar?” Sandstep meowed gently, walking up to her leader “What do you want to do?” Slatestar looked past his deputy. “Vipersun.” He growled “Where does this thing live?”

Several things rushed around Slatestar's mind that morning. The territory was flooded again, food was becoming short, Quailthroat was due for kitting any moment, and, of course, how to deal with the bear. Vipersun had brought him to the foot of the tallest mountain on the island, claiming that it was housing the frightening creature. The leader had to do something, but what? He pushed the thought to the side, something even more important was about to happen. Adderkit, Fogkit, and Squirrelkit, the first kits brought into the Clan, were about to be apprenticed. Slatestar plastered on a smile and exited his dark, shadowy den into the bright sunlight that lit up the world around the BearClan. The grey-brown tom stood proudly on the rocky overhang that he used to address the Clan. He cleared his throat and called out, "It is time we make three new apprentices!" As he said this, Cedarsplash gave her kits a proud nudge, sneaking in a few licks to straighten her daughters' fur. Slatestar looked down, resting his gaze on Adderkit. "Adderkit, please step forward." He instructed. He waited patiently as the fluffy molly wobbled over to him. She swallowed and blinked up at him, determination showing in her eyes. Slatestar stifled a 'mrrow' of laughter. She would make a good warrior, indeed. "Adderkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Adderpaw. Your mentor will be Cindertail. I hope Cindertail will pass down all he knows on to you." he announced. It may have been his first ceremony, but something about it felt like he had done it countless times before, almost as if StarClan was speaking for him. Now, he turned to Cindertail. The soot colored tom had a look of utter shock on his face, with his pale green eyes wide and jaw hanging open. "Cindertail," He continued, a hint of amusement in his voice "you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have have been a great warrior to BearClan, and you have shown yourself to be honest and loyal. You will be the mentor of Adderpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know onto her." He dipped his head and the new mentor went up to his apprentice and touched noses. Slatestar repeated this process for Fogpaw (who was apprenticed to Weaselfur), and Squirrelpaw (who was apprenticed to Grassheart). After he concluded, the six cats stood in front of the Clan. They were greeted by cheers, yowls, and calls of congratulations. "Adderpaw! Fogpaw! Squirrelpaw!" the Clan cried. However, the noise only lasted for a few moments. He waved his tail, signalling his Clan to quiet down, and nodded at the cats to sit down. "I have one more announcement." He stated firmly "Many of you know that there is a bear that threatens us. Thankfully it has not struck yet, but you never know what a bear could do. Vipersun has guided me and shown me where this creature lives. After our scouting,a few of our patrols have scented the markings of the bear getting closer and closer to our camp. I can only view this as a threat. Vipersun says that the bear can communicate and understands catspeak. I have come to the decision to try and peacefully settle the matter by trekking up to the bear's den and talking to it." There was no response, only silence. And then there was chaos. "Are you insane?!" Grassheart spat at him, earning many wails of approval. Slatestar held up his tail again, wishing for silence so he could respond. "I know it sounds crazy." he acknowledged "But, trust me, I've thought this through and I believe it could work." Cougarleap hissed. "What are you talking about?" he retorted "You said it yourself! Bears are unpredictable! What if this thing slaughters you?" Stormpaw stepped up next to him. "You can't go alone!" He protested "What if you get lost, or even worse, like Cougarleap said?" Slatestar blinked. "I won't be going alone. I'll be taking a patrol with me. It will be volunteer only. Vipersun has already agreed to join." There were several yowls of protest. Slatestar jumped down to face his angry clanmates. "Listen, this is the only way-" he told them, but Minkblossom chimed in. "You are a fool for thinking so, Slatestar!" She growled "Especially since you haven't attempted any other solution!" Anger bubbled up inside of the tom. "I am going and that's final!" Slatestar boomed, voice echoing off of the stone walls, making him sound even more intimidating "Those who want to stay behind, fine! But I will not stand idle while there is a monster threatening our safety. If you'll join me great, but if not, I hope you can sleep soundly knowing there's a bear that could attack at any living moment..." There was another silence. Several cats looked surprised at the normally calm Slatestar's outburst. Others were looking guiltily at their paws, and the rest had smirks of respect, and determination flickering in their eyes. Sandstep approached her leader boldly. "When do we leave, Slatestar? Lead and I will follow!" Shaking his head, he walked up to his deputy. "No, Sandstep, you must stay here." Slatestar ordered. "But Slate-" The she-cat started, but she was cut off swiftly. "If anything happens, you must be here to protect the Clan. As my deputy, you must obey my orders." Slatestar continued, voice firm, letting Sandstep know there was no use in arguing. It took a few moments, but eventually, the sandy cat stepped aside and dipped her head. "Yes, Slatestar." She conceded. Slatestar gave her a thankful and friendly lick on the ear and then looked up. "So." He meowed "Who will join me?"

~~~~~~~~

Slatestar moved through the crowded path that led to the mountain. Bushes squeezed his patrol and branches swatted at their faces. After all of his yelling, he had gathered Vipersun, Weaselfur, and Dunewing to join him on his journey. He had expected more to volunteer after his speech, but he reminded himself it was more of a telling off than a speech. Besides, any cat that was willing to help was valued. Dunewing was strong and bulky, enough to be threatening...to a cat at least. Weaselfur had proved himself a loyal member of the Clan and Slatestar could tell that the warrior would do anything for his new home. The group of toms padded along the trail in silence. Slatestar’s mind was still whirling, trying to determine what he would say to the bear. What do you say to a bear? Vipersun’s question shattered the silence. “It’s quite a coincidence, huh?” He meowed “The fact that you’re named BearClan and there’s a bear threatening you. Was that planned?” Slatestar sighed heavily. “How could it be planned if I had no idea the bear even existed?” He pointed out, voice tight with stress. “True.” The pale warrior agreed “So then why is it ‘Bear’Clan?” Slatestar let out a small growl. “I don’t know, Vipersun.” He hissed gently “Bears are strong. I want a strong Clan. I’m not sure it just seemed right. StarClan apprvoved it, though, so it can’t be too bad.” Vipersun flicked his ear. “Then StarClan sure has a weird sense of humor.” He muttered to himself, though the rest heard him and decided not to answer. “How far away are we?” Weaselfur asked, poking his head out from behind Vipersun. Dunewing looked around Weaselfur, obviously curious to the answer as well. Slatestar slowed and stopped at the base of a monstrous mountain that clawed at the sky. It’s peak was covered by clouds and the indent that served as the bear’s cave was barely visible behind layers of fog and stray wisps of cloud. Below the cave, there was a section of rather jagged rocks that could impale a cat easily. Dunewing gulped, and Weaselfur and Vipersun’s tails both sank onto the ground. Slatestar blinked at the climb ahead of them. He shook out his pelt, unsheathed his claws and started scaling the path, much to the dismay of his clanmates.

~~~~~~~~

The sun was going down as the four cats finally reached their destination. Their paws were dragging heavily on the spiraling pathway and their eyes were becoming blurry. The walkway, if you could even call it that, was made up of tons of small and big rocks piled up on top of each other and morphed into the side of the mountain. The rocks weren’t stable, and looked as if they would all come tumbling down if a cat misstepped. Slatestar’s shoulders were hunched and his head hung low. Suddenly, they felt a soft, cool breeze. At first, the group thought it was just a stray gust but they soon discovered it came from the cave they were climbing to. Slatestar was hit by elation and dread at the same time, causing it to stir in his stomach and make him anxious beyond belief. The tom licked his lips, turned to his patrol, and entered cautiously. His pawsteps sounded like thunder on the cold, damp floor, and the air had a kind of musky sort of prey smell to it. The ceiling was dotted with small spikes that were dripping water. The slick surface of the cave made it reflect the warm, delightful colors of the sunset, even if the place was no where near inviting. Suddenly, a loud huff of air filled the cats’ ears. “Who dares wake me.” A deep, accented voice called. It was weird, unlike anything Slatestar had heard. It wasn’t like his own, or the rest of the island cats. But it wasn’t like Cindertail or Weaselfur’s group either. It sounded more exotic. Maybe it was because the words the bear spoke were so broken. Slatestar didn’t know, or, frankly, didn’t care. He had much more important matters on his mind. The leader cleared his throat and spoke strongly. “My name is Slatestar. I come from the-“ he began, but was cut off by the bear, who was slowly creeping into sight. “Group of cats settled by river, no?” It finished. After a few moments, the full bear was revealed in the fading sunlight. It was huge. A massive chunk of muscle and brown, shaggy fur with long, hooked claws and eyes that glinted mischievously. Slatestar swallowed. “Y-yes.” He stuttered, but then forced himself to remain strong “Yes, we settled by the river. I’m surprised you know who we are.” At this, the bear gave out a deep chuckle that bounced off of the walls and hurt the cats’ ears. “Do not think I dunno why you here, cat.” He growled “You’re here to take prey from me. Steal what is mine.” Slatestar shook his head. “No!” He protested “We aren’t here to steal your food. In fact, that’s what we came here to prevent. We-I was hoping that we could discuss an agreement so that we can both have equal amount of prey without getting into each others territory.” The bear moved closer. “You came to my territory moment you made camp!” It growled “I live on island before you born, cat! I know there is not enough prey for both of us.” Closer. “You and your group trying to take what is mine. I should kill you all at once; eliminate competition.” Slatestar moved closer to his Clanmates. “N-no!” He yowled “I’m sure we could work something out!” Now, terror was gripping onto the group and not letting go. The bear’s claws clicked on the floor and it’s sharp, slobbery teeth reflected the rising moon. Out of no where, the bear smiled. “I might have idea. Prey is valuable, no? And only the strongest should live, no?” The bear started. All Slatestar could do was nod. “Well. What if you make cats prove they strong enough to deserve prey. That way not as many mouths to feed.” Before Slatestar could say anything, Vipersun spoke. “A-and how do we know if they’re worthy?” He asked quietly. The bear grinned widely, showing off his shimmering teeth. The sight made Slatestar queezy. “Send them to me.” He said at last “One cat every other moon cycle. We fight. If they win, they can go. If they lose, I kill. Make sure cats don’t lose their worth, every cat must come three times. After that, free to live life.” Slatestar was at a loss for words. This thing wanted him to sacfifice his own friends and family? No. He wouldn’t do it. The tom opened his mouth to speak. But Vipersun cut him off. “And what if we don’t play along? What if we don’t send any cats?” He asked boldly. The bear growled deeply, showing off every inch of his long fangs. “If no cat come, no cat in group survive. And I will take back my island.”He threatened “Now. Get out of my cave.” Before Slatestar could say anything, the bear’s large paw scooped them up and pushed them out of the mouth of the cave. The four cats skidded down the mountain, moving so fast they could only pray that they didn’t get snagged on a sharp rock or move any stones that could cause a rockslide. Miraculously, all four cats made it to the bottom unharmed. A cloud of dust formed around them, shimmering in the pale moonlight. The bear’s voice boomed from above them. “One cat every other moon cycle or all of cat group get killed!” It roared, then disappeared into its dark home. The four toms sat there in shock, not sure what to say. After a while, Dunewing spoke. “Slatestar, what do we do?” He meowed quietly, voice barely above a whisper. Slatestar thought for several ling moments. Then, staring at the ground, he made his decision. “We have to tell the Clan. Life as we know it is about to change forever.”
