Warrior Cats

[Miranda_]

The strange cat paused, but didn't seem afraid. She simply sat down, wrapping her tail comfortably over her feet.

Stonetail growled deep in his throat, and his yellow eyes flashed. "Who are you, and what do you want?" he demanded in a dangerous tone.

[Miranda_]

The strange cat looked at Stonetail diffidentally.

"My name's Nightsky," she replied. "And I don't want anything. Do you mean to live here, bychance? My clan lives just over the next hill, not very far away at all."

[spirit_queen]

"We just stopped here for the night to rest," Stonetail replied guardedly.

[Miranda_]

"You're welcome to come and stay with us, if you want to," Nightsky replied. "We really shouldn't mind."

Poppyfur bristled. She thought that the stranger's name was bizarre, and not at all like a normal warrior cat's name.

[spirit_queen]

"Why should we believe that your clan would welcome us so openly?" Stonetail asked.

[Miranda_]

"Why would we want to attack you?" Nightsky replied, bemused. "My clan, the Jewel Clan, has everything it could ever want or wish for. There is plenty of food, and we have no need to ever fight, even among ourselves."

[spirit_queen]

"Charming," Stonetail snorted.

[Miranda_]

"The invitation is there, if you wish to avail yourself of it," Nightsky replied serenely, getting up to go.

"The home of Jewel Clan is at the bottom of the hill. Please feel free to come and visit, or maybe even stay."

Nightsky walked out of the copse, her tail high in the air.

"Is it me or is that cat a little loose in the head?" Stonetail said to Poppyfur.
