5Well I am SO sorry for the wait I have had to put up with a ton of stuff for the last couple months including my first relationship, which ended in disaster, falling behind in schoolwork, putting on 2 plays, and everything else a Sophmore goes through. Anyway I have it up! I hope the 1,002 words of story will satisfy you. And thank you to all the Favorites and Follows I have gotten!

Chapter 2:
ThunderClan
Corro's POV
The strange cats cautiously circled me about. I was on guard, but I didn't know how to maneuver in this strange body. My legs twisted the wrong way and I fell to the ground. I quickly jumped to my feet and turned around in a circle slowly, looking each of the cats in the eyes. One was a large golden tabby, who shifted on his feet and I saw the muscles ripple beneath his golden coat. The next was a small grey she-cat, who's eyes spoke of unknown intelligence, crouched next to her was another small she-cat who looked slightly nervous, but she had a silver and white coat. The next cat was a tom with black stripes adorning his pale grey fur. The last was a reddish tabby tom that was hissing warningly at me.
"Who are you? Why are you in ThunderClan territory?" the golden tabby questioned. I immediately knew that he was the leader.
"My name is Corro and I don't know how I got here," I replied.
"How can you not know how you got to someplace?" said the one with black stripes.
"I-I..." I stammered.
"Bumblestripe! Don't antagonize him. If he doesn't know he doesn't know. StarClan might have sent him like they have other cats or he could have wandered here while being chased," the golden tabby scolded. I was glad to have learned at least one of their names.
"Sorry, Lionblaze," said Bumblestripe while dipping his head in regret. Another name!
"No, you have a right to be suspicious of me, Bumblestripe," I said then turned my attention to Lionblaze. "I am sorry for invading your territory. I really have no idea of how I came to be here, though I know nothing of this StarClan you speak of nor why I am in the form of a cat. Both the body and the language, though I can speak it fine, are unfamiliar to me."
Then the grey she-cat spoke up, "You say you are in the form of a cat. Does that mean you, in fact, are, excuse me, were another animal?"
"Yes, I was a human with a +Anima. Now I am a cat with a +Anima," I said.
The grey she-cat was about to speak again but Lionblaze interrupted her saying, "Dovewing, I think we should take him to Firestar before questioning him further, for his tale seems like something that our leader should hear. Follow us, Corro."
Lionblaze turned to leave.
"Wait!" I called out. "I don't know all of your names!" Lionblaze turned back to me.
"You know me, Lionblaze, Dovewing and Bumblestripe. The silver and white tabby is Ivypool and The reddish tabby tom is Foxleap," Lionblaze said. I nodded to each of them in turn. Lionblaze then turned, as did the rest of the cats. Dovewing fell in behind Lionblaze, and I followed her. Foxleap and Bumblestripe flanked me on the sides, while Ivypool fell in behind me. I followed them though the woods and then across a dirt path. We walked for many minutes in silence before my enhanced senses picked up faint sounds and smells of other cats, many other cats.
As the sounds and smells grew stronger Foxleap retreated to behind me and Bumblestripe went in front of me. I soon realized why. We were approaching a tunnel only wide enough for us to go through one at a time. The tunnel was made of brambles.
When I started going down it after Bumblestripe I realized that the tunnel went down a decline. When I stepped out of the tunnel I realized we were in a sort of camp. I looked around and took in the bushes, which I supposed were dens. I saw a small stack of furry and feathered bodies, which I supposed was their food pile. I then looked at the cats. They were of all colors and sizes. The one that caught my attention was a grey tabby tom whose eyes looked like they were clouded over who was laying by the entrance of another den that smelled like herbs. I wondered if he was blind or if he was just lost in thought. I finally caught sight of a ledge that a magnificent cat was standing on. The sun struck his fur so that it looked like he was on fire, his blazing green eyes were locked questioningly on me. He then looked to Lionblaze who called out to him.
"Firestar!"
"Lionblaze, I see you have found an intruder."
"Yes, and I think you ought to hear his story. What I have heard so far has intrigued me."
"Bring him in then," Firestar said retreating into a small cave I had not notice was behind the ledge before.
Lionblaze walked up to a ledge down lower and leapt up on in and then followed a series of ledges up to the one Firestar had previously been standing on.
"Dovewing, Ivypool and Corro come up, the rest of you stay. I will tell you the going ons of the meeting, if Firestar doesn't make an announcement on it, of which I am fairly certain that he will," Lionblaze said. Dovewing followed immediately and beckoned for me to follow. I hesitantly made my way up. I lost my footing once. but quickly regained it with the help of Ivypool. When I finally reached the ledge I went into the small entrance of the cave, which then opened up to be bigger than I had originally thought it would be. Firestar was in there with Lionblaze as well as a pale ginger she-cat and a dark brown tabby tom.
"Make yourself comfortable, Corro. As well as you Dovewing and Ivypool," Firestar said. When we had done so he continued.
"So what is this interesting story that Lionblaze says you have? If it entices his attention then it must be of much worth, for there is rarely any circumstance that he has not heard of."
So I opened my mouth and told my story.
It is pretty good I think. What do you think? I wrote most of it in an hour or so. Anyway, after my semester is over, which is sometime in January, I will be starting homeschool and hopefully I will be able to write more often. Well I will see you next time, which probably won't be for a month, cause I have to go visit my Grandpa who is sick, and I have a project to do over break. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
