Firebird followed Uglyeyes into the small, poorly lit den. Herbs were strewn around on the floor, and Uglyeyes padded to a nest of moss in the corner. "Get cleaning. Sort by smell." Firebird watched in astonishment as Uglyeyes went to sleep and left her to clean! She scooped a few basil leaves into a pile, then found yarrow. She was surprised to find that she knew almost all of the names already.
Uglyeyes was still asleep when Firebird finished, so she crept out of the den, stretched, and padded to the fresh-kill pile. Shellclaw/Pitifulface lay just outside the warrior's den, sharing tongues with a young tom. Silverscale/Grosspelt, Feathertail/Painheart, and Hawkclaw/Hurttail sat a few meters away with a few of the clan cats, already making friends. Firebird glanced over the fresh-kill, then slipped out of camp on the shrouded side. She padded down to the river and stared for a moment into its shimmery, inviting water. She slipped her paw in and waited, and soon the fish forgot her. She flipped one out and caught it, quickly killing it and gulping it down. She grabbed another of the small, silvery fish and ate it, then ate one more. She decided she was full and dipped into the water completely, letting it flow through her fur. She heard footsteps and scrambled onto the bank, but two cats her own age emerged and stopped. She stared at them, and they stared at her. One was a tom with blueish fur, and the other a she-cat with tabby fur, also the same blue. They both wore masks, but still seemed uncertain. It was understandable considering she was dripping wet.
She looked away eventually. "I wasn't doing anything wrong!" The tom glanced anxiously over his shoulder. "Be quiet! We're getting out of here!" Firebird shifted from one paw to the other awkwardly. "Permanently?" The she-cat shook her head, leaning in to whisper. "No. We leave everyday, for longer and longer periods every day. Eventually it will be permanent, but we need a clan to accept us first." Firebird nodded, troubled. "Can I come? I am... was in Flameclan, then I killed the deputy here and they kidnapped me at a gathering. There are more from Flameclan and two from other clans." The tom's eyes light up excitedly. "So you're Killerpaw? How many others are there, and who are they?" Firebird shivered at the awful name. "You can call me Firebird. It's my real name. There are five others. Hurttail, Grosspelt, Pitifultail, Painheart, and Evilpaw."
