Anyway, on with the first chapter! :D
Cindersnow growled, "How could you, Swoopstar?"
The gray and white she-cat was standing in the middle of a clearing in the FloraClan camp. Flowers and blooms shooted through, weaved across the dens, making the camp look very pretty, but Cindersnow wasn't paying attention to that.
She was thinking about her current trail for exile.
Swoopstar replied tensly, "You crushed the Warrior Code into tiny pieces, and completly defied me!" The powerful tom's mucles rippled as he spoke, his voice a furious growl.
In the crowd a gray tom padded out to stand beside Cindersnow- her mate Jayflight. "The Warrior Code? You mean the Swoopstar Code?" he hissed, making the crowd gasp.
FloraClan's leader seemed to be at a loss for words for a few seconds, but regained the upper paw quickly. "No-Cindersnow, leave now! Any warriors wishing to go into exile along with her, do so now." he emphesized on the word "now" as he glared at Jayflight and a pretty blue-gray she-cat in the groups of cats.
"Fine, Swoopstar. But I expect Jayflight wishes to go along with me, along with our daughter Bluemist." Cindersnow mewed.
The blue-gray she-cat wasted no time, not hesitating at all, as she decided, "Of course I will. Swoopstar, you're a mouse-brain if you think Cindersnow broke your code by giving the elders and kits food! I'm leaving this poor exscuse for a Clan!"
A handsome black tom bounded up to her. "Wait- Bluemist-" but she whipped around to see him. "You can't stop me, Ravenwing..."
But the black tom shook his head. "No, that's not what I mean. I'm coming too." This made Bluemist blink in surprise and happieness.
Lastly, Redswirl, the result of a medicine cat's love, stepped forward. "So am I. Let's go."
Swoopstar griamanced as he ordered, "Leave now. If my warriors see you in our borders by sunset they can and will kill you."
A stocky brown-ginger tom raced out of the crowd to go to Redswirl. "Redswirl, you cant-"
Redswirl shook his head. "There's nothing left to say, father. If he's kicking Cindersnow out for doing something that everyone should be doing, but not punishing you for mating with another cat for me, FloraClan is messed up. Goodbye, father."
Then the five cats left FloraClan...forever.
Cindersnow wriggled through the bushes, tail lashing. "The nerve of Swoopstar!" she spat as the rest of her group followed her.
Jayflight nodded. "I know, because of him... we are Clanless."
Cindersnow gave him a breif nod and continued on, until they past the Clan borders and were well into the day...well out of their old life, and out of the territory they knew.
Jayflight remembered the day Swoopstar had started to change the Warrior Code... the new rules had gone like this...
1. No mates/mating alowed without permission from Swoopstar.
2. No feeding the queens, kits, or elders unless you are the mate, parent, or littermate of that cat
3. Killing is alowed to a certain limit.
That's how it had gone, on and on. Cindersnow and Jayflight had secretly been feeding the one elder in camp and the queens because the queen's mates had died in a recent fire, and they were sisters... so there was no one left there for them.
And by doing the right thing, Cindersnow, Jayflight, their daughter, and two others were exiled from FloraClan...just like that.
Just like that.
Cindersnow, who was in the lead, halted the patrol with a flick of her tail. "Rouges!" she hissed. "At least two of them!"
Jayflight and Redswirl were instantly gaurding Bluemist and Cindersnow, as Ravenwing took the back of the group of cats... then two she-cats padded out of the bushes.
One was a kit- a silver and black she-kit. The other was an elegant, full-grown, black ink-colored she-cat with the same indigo-colored eyes.
"Move," Cindersnow growled.
"Wait!" The indigo she-cat protested. "We need your help."
Jayflight narrowed his eyes. Is this a trick? He wondered. It was a small helpless kit, though, and the blue-black she-cat's bones could be seen underneath her fur. Both she-cats had cuts on them. "Why?" he questioned.
"Well, I need a nursing cat to take care of this kit... she isn't mine." the she-cat replied nervously. "She told me her name was Feather, and for almost a half-month now she's followed me around."
"I can speak for myself!" the silver she-kit squeaked, making Jayflight roll his eyes. "How old is she?" Bluemist spoke.
"Um... I think three or four moons," Feather mewed.
Jayflight glanced at Cindersnow. She can eat dry food. Aloud, he told Feather and the inky she-cat, "Feather can eat mice and such now."
"O-oh, thanks," the she-cat stuttered. "Um, my name is Indigo... who are you?"
"I'm Cindersnow, and this is my mate, Jayflight. This is our daughter Bluemist and the toms Ravenwing and Redswirl." Cindersnow introduced the five of them quickly.
"Clan names... but the Clans live that way!" Indigo pointed with her tail to the bushes behind Jayflight and he knew she meant FloraClan.
"We were exiled," Cindersnow muttered. "I was caught helping the queens and elders and Swoopstar exiled us."
Indigo drew in a sharp breath. "That's terrible! And I'm guessing now you'll be making a new Clan?"
Jayflight and Cindersnow exchanged looks again. Making a new...Clan?
"Uh...maybe," Cindersnow found herself saying, getting looks from all of the other cats. "Maybe."
"Can we join you?"
Jayflight nodded. "We need all of the cats we can get." Cindersnow, what did you get yourself into?!
