Crowtalon leaped over a silver, metal bin, and I followed directly behind him, panting. My worst nightmare came true when I felt the twoleg's paw on my tail. It tugged back hard, and I yowled in pain. I twisted and unsheathed my claws, slashing at it's pink paw. It's other came from behind and haul me up by my scruff. I twisted and squirmed in its grasp, fear pulsing through me. Even worse was when I thought for a moment that my new clanmates were leaving me. No, Rabbitspring steered them around and they headed my direction, where I dangled from a twoleg paw. The twoleg began to trot away at the sight of the furious cats. Rabbitspring snarled and raked at the twoleg's leg. It yowled and dropped me to the ground. I landed, dazed, but glad to be out of it's grasp. Sparrowtalon hissed at the twoleg, and I screeched in fury, my claws meeting bare skin. The twoleg raced away, but we didn't give chase. "Thanks," I muttered, embarrassed. I licked my ruffled fur to smooth it down. "No problem," Rabbitspring mewed, "That's what clanmates are for, huh?" "It almost got me too!" Crowtalon said. "Well then you're lucky I was behind you." I hope nobody would tell that I got picked up by a twoleg. "Alright, let's go find Beetlefang." Rabbitspring took off where we had originally been going, following the warrior's scent. "I'll bet you anything that twoleg was the one that took Beetlefang," I mewed. "Probably. We'll find him for sure." Rabbitspring seemed confident enough, and I trusted in that. We stayed clear of the thunderpath the remainder of the time, but the worst part was when we reached the place where all the twoleg nests were. I felt like something was creeping up my fur, seeing all the strange dens and wooden posts that surrounded them. It was like a barricaded, tiny camp, only it was so much more worse. "Hey, you," Rabbitspring called to a white she-cat sitting up on a wooden post, licking her paws. Her blue eyes widened at the sight of six battle-scarred, lithe cats. "What?" She mewed, looking as if she would jump down into her camp any moment. "Have you seen a large dark brown-and white tom around here?" Rabbitspring asked. "Yes!" The she-cat's eyes brightened, "I saw him with the housefolk across the street. He looked like he wanted to claw out their eyes though." "Huh?" I cocked my head at the kittypet's words. Housefolk? Street? "The creatures that are furless and stand on two legs. Know what those are?" The white she-cat mewed, almost sarcastically. "Twolegs!" I mewed rather loudly. "Alright. Thanks for your help." Rabbitspring nodded at the white, soft-furred kittypet, then we followed the direction in which she had pointed out. "It must be this nest, right?" Runningfire paced across the front of a twoleg nest, "Beetlefang's scent is a lot stronger here." "Yes," Rabbitspring mewed, "Okay, Runningfire and Sparrowtalon, I want you to see if you can distract the twoleg inside while the rest of us try to find a way in. Got it?" "Great StarClan, I always get the boring jobs!" Runningfire muttered as he and Sparrowtalon padded to the side of the nest. My heart was beating fast, I really didn't want to tangle with anymore twolegs. I could see that the two other warriors were looking into a little transparent wall of some sort. Sparrowtalon gave a little nod in our direction, which signaled to us that the twoleg was approaching. Rabbitspring ordered us to take cover in the bushes while Sparrowtalon and Runningfire acted like loving kittypets. We waited for the wooden slab that the twoleg opened to be clear, then Rabbitspring sent Boulderclaw and I in. The stench of dirt and fake-food filled the air as we stepped in. "Boulderclaw!" A voice called across the nest. A large dark brown-and-white tom scratched at a mesh den-thing. "Beetlefang!" Boulderclaw's pale blue eyes lightened up, and he bounded across the crowded space. I followed him, and Beetlefang eyed me curiously. "Who's that?" He growled. "That's Badgerclaw, he's joined WindClan. But I'll tell you the story later, let's get you out!" Boulderclaw scratched and bit at the mesh, but Beetlefang still wasn't freed. I joined in, scratching until my pads bled. Finally, I must've hit a right spot, because the mesh-door opened and Beetlefang burst out. He shook his pelt out and bounded out the wooden slab that was still open, "Let's get out of here!" He called over his shoulder. Boulderclaw and I followed the large tom out, and almost burst out laughing at the sight of Runningfire and Sparrowtalon being friendly with the twoleg. I inhaled fresh air, rid of the stench of twoleg. "Let's go!" Rabbitspring ordered. Runningfire and Sparrowtalon tore away from the twoleg and dashed off after us. We sped away from Twolegplace and into the moor beyond.
