Chapter 4
The midday sun hung high in the sky as Snowstorm padded out for a boarder patrol. They would be going round the twoleg path and by the river checking for any galaxyclan cat scents. He stepped out of camp and through the willow tunnel leading the patrol towards the direction of the twoleg path. Struggling, he fought the urge to leap out and catch prey; he was here to patrol the boarder not hunt. Sniffing for any scent, he smelt a very unfamiliar smell. Then, it hit him a badger, a badger was in there territory.
Luckily, it's scent wasn't very fresh but just in case they followed the beast's scent all the way towards the river. As the loud sound of tumbling water was heard, Snowstorm glanced in front of him to find the waterfall. The white water cascaded down a series of rocky outcrops, giving the effect of many waterfalls rather then just one. Then, it flowed on its way, nonchalant, as if nothing had occurred.
Heading down further the water settles into a stream. It cut through the hillside and down into galaxyclan territory. The torrents of water deafening, rapids flick up against its surface like paint flakes off a old door. The scent of moss and lichen be-fowls the air. The badgers scent seems to grow stronger.
As they follow the bank, the badger scent grows fresher and fresher. Then, Snowstorm smelt it, blood. The strong scent of Mittens and a rogue filled the area. Blood was scattered on the leaf-covered grass like spilt paint. Why did he feel worried?
"Everyone!" He yowled, "we must bring this news to rockstar that there is a kitty pet and rogue in are territory." He was starting to sound like blazeheart the deputy "we must also ask to higher the patrols round the waterfall and stream," he continued, "we don't want anyone to get hurt by the badger."
He plods back to camp with the patrol, worried sick about Mittens. Why do I care anyway? He returned through the willow tunnel quickening his step till he broke into a run. "Rockstar! Rockstar!" He yelled.
"What is it Snowstorm?" She sounded worried.
"Kittypets and rogues on our territory, there's a badger by the waterfall!" He reported.
"Blazeheart! Set up patrols to search for the Kittypet and the Rogue and a patrol for the Badger, we must get it off our territory." She commanded before climbing onto the clan rock for a meeting. Rockstar began, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the clan rock for a clan meeting."
Then, she began to report what the boarder patrol had said. "We will set patrols to find the badger and make sure the Mouldy Rogue And Foxhearted Kittypet will never invade our territory again!" Snowstorm felt a stab of guilt, Mittens couldn't go home because of her abusive twolegs. Wait, he thought, why am I so worried about her she's just a Kittypet. I'm loyal to my clan always, I will attack her if I see her when I'm patrolling...
