Cloudtail growled, almost disgusted with the bare furred creature. "Why would a Twoleg be with us cats?" There was no place for a noncat to be with the clans. It was more of a shock she even thought to offer.

Ginna just rolled her eyes, "Look, I know how your cat clans work, I've seen just about every clan there is on this lake. I have nowhere else to go so maybe I can stay with you for a while." The hunting patrol glanced at each other, still on edge.

All but Amberpaw seemed ready to attack Ginna, but the apprentice hopped in front of them, defending the Twoleg. "Bramblestar has shown peace to a lot of the clans. If you look at this She-Twoleg, she isn't as different from us! She survives alone in the wild, we should let the leader decide!"

Spiderleg eyes widen, shocked that his own apprentice stood up for the Twoleg. There would be no room if this twoleg even remotely came into the camp with the cats. However this didn't stop the Twoleg from trying even more.

Ginna smiled gratefully at the small cat and looked at the patrol once more. "Staying may not be my whole life, maybe a couple moons..." she told them. Referring to how the cat kept the time. Moons being from months, if the Twoleg ever even last that long with them. For some reason Ginna felt the need to stay here, and she'd have to fight logically with the cats to truly push to find the reason why.

Brightheart signaled the patrol to back off, "Before we go back, we need to hunt for our clan." she explained to the Twoleg. However it seemed Ginna came prepared as she had pulled out a few thrushes and a squirrel from behind the tree.

"Caught 'em fresh before you came by, want to carry them back? I walk behind you." She knew that the cats may not appreciate the Twoleg doing their job for them, however they didn't seem to argue as they picked up the prey she had and padded off. Ginna stood up waiting for the cats. The Twoleg followed from behind with Amberpaw next to her.

"What's it like being a Twoleg?" Amberpaw started, Ginna couldn't even begin to answer before she continued, "How do you only walk on two legs? Where is all you fur? Aren't you always cold in winter?" She had finally stop asking, letting Ginna get an answer in.

"Weird, I have no Idea, it's shorter then yours, and most of the time yes. Don't you ever run out of breath asking so many questions?" She joked to the young cat. Amberpaw's eyes gleamed, "Do you thing you'll get a clan name as well?" She looked up at the Twoleg.

Ginna shrugged, "If your leader accepts me, but I may stay anyway..." she said to Amberpaw. She knew that it would be awkward in the clan for her, but she was destined to find answers from her feelings she had in the Forest. "What's your name?" Ginna asked, trying to change the subject.

"I'm Amberpaw, I'm only an apprentice at the moment, but soon me and my brothers will be warriors soon! At the moment there are six of us apprentices, Dewpaw and Snowpaw are my brothers the other three are Hollypaw, Fernpaw, and Sorrelpaw!" She said proudly.

Ginna nodded, "I've only heard so much about how your clan works, but I'm sure you'll make a great Warrior sometime soon. However Amberpaw, I have to say thanks for helping me back there." She looked beside her feet.

"We're here." Spiderleg let out a growl. The patrol drop its fresh-kill on the pile and padded over to the ready group that was leaving for the gathering. "Bramblestar, we found the Twoleg, but she doesn't want to leave... she wants to join..." Brightheart started.
