“Yeah, that’s one of them! Looks like the twolegs were trying to build a skynest! Usually you only really see those in the City.” Owlwhisker admitted. “This one looks small. They clearly didn’t finish it, there’s no clear stone around it.” He mewed quizzically, following after his leader. “I can’t smell anything dangerous yet…”

Beep)
Echo hissed quietly under her breath in frustration, the pain coming from her bleeding shoulder and front leg making it almost impossible for her to keep up with the patrol that had attacked her and Sparrow. That mouse-brained fool. What was he thinking, playing hero like that? She gritted her teeth and kept moving after them, keeping far enough away that they wouldn’t be able to tell that she had been following them the entire time since she had supposedly lost them after Sparrow had distracted them long enough for her to escape. In doing so, the former ThunderClan warrior had been captured by Greaser and his band of rogues.
Slowing to a stop, Echo peered around the corner of a building and quickly spotted the patrol leading Sparrow past a hole in a mesh fence, with a plastic covering making it impossible to see past it. She frowned and hobbled forward once they had all disappeared behind the fence, but still kept her distance and looked for another way she could get in without being spotted by taking the obvious route.

“I’m moving, you fox-dunged idiots!” Sparrow hissed darkly to the cats around him once he was shoved to move faster. Blood trickled from his wounds, but he hardly cared about it. So long as Echo was safe, he was content, even if it meant being a prisoner to these half-watered rouges. He scoffed. “Taking me to your rat-infested lair?”

Chaos looked over his shoulder to glare at the cats that had shoved Sparrow, an intimidating look on the large black tom’s face. “Enough.” He growled lowly, stopping and placing himself between them, “He gets the message, anything else is just unnecessary.” Chaos turned and looked at Greaser, flicking his ear, “I can take him the rest of the way to the prisoner’s den. He won’t escape from me.”
Echo eyed the fence and walked a couple paces along it before spotting a dumpster sitting beside it. Careful not to make any noise that could alert any guards, she jumped up it and up onto the fence to get a better look at the large lot. She flicked her ear in concern when she saw the piles of the broken and crushed monsters, wondering how she could even find Sparrow in that mess.

I’m honored. You and your entire group of fleabags can shove fox-dung up your backsides, how about that?” He offered sweetly, before bristling at the tom. Bengal gave a low growl, her mother’s cold temper shining from her as she looked at Chaos. “Are you sure we shouldn’t just kill this mouthy rat?”

Chaos ignored Sparrow’s outburst, glancing over at Bengal, “Greaser wants him alive. We do as he says.” He said, continuing on his way. Chaos gave Sparrow’s shoulder a light nudge in the right direction, making sure to walk alongside him so that he didn’t get any ideas and try to run off.
Echo jumped off the fence into the large lot, flicking her ear as she carefully navigated her way through the broken monsters. She had seen places like this before in her travels, but had always made sure to avoid them. The twolegs who normally lived in these places had a tendency to keep dogs in them, and she didn’t like the idea of running from the mutts with an injured leg. Speaking of her injuries, Echo needed to hurry this up and find Sparrow. She couldn’t risk letting them get infected, then she would be no use to him at all.

Sparrow shoved right back the second he felt Chaos nudge his shoulder. The tom hissed coldly. “Touch me again and you’ll wish you had listened to that ratty she-cat to kill me.” He continued padding alongside Chaos, looking around carefully to take note of each spot of land and each cat he saw. He scoffed. “Do you all stink like dog droppings around here? Let me guess, this Greaser is your leader. What, are you his right paw or something? Are all you leading cats this ugly around here?” He nagged, wanting nothing more than to be an utter nusciance for his captors.

Chaos kept walking in silence, unfazed by the smaller tom’s shove and incessant barking. If he was annoyed by Sparrow’s rude questions, Chaos showed no signs of it. He took a couple more turns before he came to a stop outside a large hollowed out monster that had been placed against the wall of a large grey building, it’s giant paws had been removed and it lay on its belly on the ground. A large, coarse material had been tossed over half of it, covering most of the holes that had been made in the monster and was weighed down by several concrete blocks.
The only way into the makeshift den was a large crack in the body of the monster, the entrance blocked by a thick board of wood held in place by another block of concrete. Any other holes or cracks had been stuffed or covered by thick brambles and branches, making it impossible for anyone to slip out and escape. Chaos walked right past the guards that had been stationed at the entrance, giving them a flick of his ear to move the wood and stone out of the way. Once that was done, the large tom turned his black and white face towards Sparrow, finally acknowledging him, “In there.” He said in his usual serious and brief tone.

Sparrow stared at the hollowed out monster, both amazed and unnerved by the sheer oddity of it. He bristled, looking sharply at Chaos. “Are you kidding? The gored out belly of a monster? What if that thing wakes up, are you all insane?” He demanded, trying to dig his claws into the ground in defiance. There was no way he was going in there without making a fuss first.

Chaos merely stared at him for a heartbeat before he spoke, “It won’t. It’s dead.” He motioned at the entrance again with his plumed tail, his mismatched eyes meeting Sparrow’s with a steely glint. “Someone will be by soon to treat your wounds. Prey will follow shortly after.” He continued, inwardly hoping he would go in without anymore of a fuss. Chaos could easily drag Sparrow inside if he had to, but would prefer to let the other tom keep his dignity.

He muttered. “Huh. Trying to butter me up with prey, huh? I must be pretty important for you to feed me.” He lifted his chin, bravely padding into the dead monster before he lifted a paw to groom his ear. “I guess it could be worse. Why, you could have two of us, but you only got one.” He taunted, before he huffed. “I bet your medicine cats around here are awful, so let’s hope I don’t get an infection in this… monster.” He grimaced.

“No point in keeping prisoners if you just let them die.” Chaos said with a shrug. He motioned to the two guards to move the board and stone back into place once Sparrow had made his way into the den. “Keep an eye on them.” Chaos said to the guards lowly, turning and walking away from them. He needed to find Greaser and figure out just what he was planning.
Echo watched as Chaos left from her hiding spot, glad that she had managed to spot the large tom leading Sparrow away. Now she just needed to find a way around the guards. Perhaps she could find a way to draw them both away. She gave a flick of her ear, her eyes scanning her surroundings and looking for something that would work.

Sparrow rolled his eyes at Chaos’s statement, before the tom scowled darkly at the two guards that rolled the blockage in to the only exit to this death trap of a prisoner’s den. Sparrow tensed up, looking at the inside of the supposedly dead Monster. Starclan… he would have been horrified of such a thing back when he was a Thunderclan cat. He was far more used to monsters now, but he certainly didn’t enjoy them.
Huffing loudly and dramatically in hopes of annoying his guards, he paced around, grumbling angrily to himself.

“Yeah, that’s one of them! Looks like the twolegs were trying to build a skynest! Usually you only really see those in the City.” Owlwhisker admitted. “This one looks small. They clearly didn’t finish it, there’s no clear stone around it.” He mewed quizzically, following after his leader. “I can’t smell anything dangerous yet…” Earthstar continued to approach the abandoned building. "Do Twolegplace cats really hang around places like these? It seems so... unlike the forest." he remarked. No water, no grass... it seemed desolate. "Well, maybe there won't be any dangers here either." He scented the air for any sort of cat scent, but could only taste dust.

Street cats like them as symbols of strength!” Owlwhisker giggled. “At least, farther where the skynests are. These are just… fun to climb, I guess!” He followed his leader and poked his nose around the odd structure.

For the front page:
Opalmist Very pale white she-cat with silver paws. She has dots of orange,brown,black,ginger,cream. Her eyes are two different colors one yellow (right) the other is an ocean blue (left). Her nose is a striking pink color. Opalmist is strong, determined, honest. She loves to get justice and prove someone's innocence. Though she can be full of energy sometimes she is very sweet. She was found in the woods one day no scent on her....weird. Her foster mother is Softmist. Trained as a warrior under Icefire before becoming a medicine cat apprentice under Snowdance. Opalmist had a forbidden love with Frostyfoot of SkyClan. She hid the fact that she had his kits: Dreamlily, Echowing, and Whispersong, and gave the kits to Frostyfoot for them to grow in SkyClan. She couldn't give up her life as ShadowClan's medicine cat. Opalmist escaped the Great Fire that ravaged the territory with most of her herbs. She began treating clanmates at once and had the unfortunate role of delivering Songbreeze's stillborn kits. Opalmist was exiled from ShadowClan during a gathering when her daughter, Echowing, exposed her and Frostyfoot's forbidden love. (Lonespirit, now Moonblazer)

"Strength," Earthstar echoed, looking up at one of the beams settled high in the sky. If a cat could successfully climb up there, they would be able to see the entire city. "Sounds like a sentiment for rogues... or the power-hungry." he flicked his tail. "If only we were SkyClan cats. We could get a better view of this place and look for Gregory easier." He froze at the sound of a distant dog bark, sharply turning to look at Owlwhisker and Ottermask.

Owlwhisker flicked his ear as he turned to tip his head towards the direction of the dog bark. The slender tom giggled to himself. “Still the same old yappy dogs! Bark bark bark, that’s all they do! You know, I knew a cat that could speak dog! Er… at least, she said she could. Then she said that Twolegs can talk to other Twolegs from entire territories away by using a magical rock they hold up to their muzzles! So maybe she was just, you know-“ He lifted his paw to give the motion for a crazy cat, before he mewed.
“Do you think that Gregory cat is around here?”

Ottermask's pelt was prickling the further they entered they entered the strange area of twoleggedplace. He paused when the dog barked, but after a moment, he realized Owlwhisker was right. All the dog was doing was barking. "How are we supposed to find him?" Ottermask looked up and around, thankful the light of the full moon illuminated the area. "If he's up high, we'll never see him, but if we call out, who knows what will come our way."

"That sure sounds like crazy. But I've seen Twolegs climb inside live monsters, so maybe they could be right." Earthstar wrinkled his nose. "I can't scent any cat here at all. Would his scent even be this far down if he's up there?" he asked, narrowing his eyes to see if there were any cat-shaped shadows coming from the beams.

Owlwhisker approached some of the metal beams with a curious look. He sniffed at them before he opted to try an idea. He lifted his paws to press against the beam, before he leaned back and fell forwards again, creating a small pang of noise that traveled up the old metal. He repeated it, hoping that if a cat was climbing around up there, that they could feel the vibrations.
“Helloooo?” He mewed up into the air, though he knew nobody that high would hear his voice.

Ottermask flicked his ear and looked around. He passed a few foxlenghs in one direction to try and see around some of the twoleg stuff. "I should've asked Shimmer just where in this place we could find this guy." He love to find Gregory and give him a piece of his mind.

Earthstar watched Owlwhisker and hoped that the noise - and his call - wouldn't alert anything else in the area. "That would've been wise. I'm beginning to doubt that anything is here at all." His green eyes flickered around. "If Twolegs won't even stay here, I can't see a cat sticking around for long."

"We might have to call this one off... drat. I wanted to meet Gregory. I guess another time, yeah?" Owlwhisker mewed, looking dejected for a moment before he lowered himself from the steel beam and scampered back over to Earthstar and Ottermask. He looked up at the cloudy sky and flicked an ear. "Oh fish-scales. I think it's gonna rain..."

Echo spotted a small stone, just big enough for her to kick into something. She lashed out a paw at the stone, lifting it into the air and sending it flying at another dead monster. The stone made a loud clattering noise as it met the metal side of the monster. Echo quickly slipped into the shadows and made her way to the hollowed out monster, watching as the guards looked at each other before going to inspect whatever had made the noise. Once they had left, she hurriedly made her way to the concrete block and board. Echo grit her teeth in pain as she tried to move the block, her injury making it difficult to move it. Hissing in frustration, she looked for a crack in the monster. Making her way into a space between the monster and the wall of the building it was leaned against, “Sparrow!” She hissed quietly, hearing the guards staring to return. She needed to make this quick, there wasn’t much time left.

Sparrow’s bored huffing was interrupted when he heard a familiar voice. His blood ran cold when he realized who it was. He stormed over to the crack where Echo was, his voice a harsh whisper. “Are you a mousebrain?! When I told you to run, I didn’t say follow me right back into danger! What are you doing here?!”

Echo flicked her ear in amusement at Sparrow’s response, peering an icy blue eye through the crack to try and get a look at him, hoping his injuries weren’t too serious. “And you thought I would listen to you? I thought you knew me better than that. I only ran so I can help you escape once their guard was down.” She said, lowering her voice to a quiet whisper once she heard the voices of the guards come back. Luckily she was hidden rather well in her spot in between the monster and wall. She just hoped they weren’t smart enough to pick up her scent. “Unfortunately, I can’t move that stupid block. Not with this injury. There must be some way to get you out of here.”

Their fighting is nothing compared to the Warriors I’ve seen in battle…” Sparrow trailed off at the memory of Shadeclaw, before he huffed and shook it away. “If we were back in the Clans, they’d have an escape plan ready in a day’s time.” He scowled with a sigh. “Just, don’t get worse injuries for my sake. Luckily, seems like these flea-bags want me alive.”

“Yes, but why?” Echo asked, a light frown on her face as she sat back. Her ear flicked thoughtfully as she thought of ThunderClan, perhaps they would be able to help in this situation. “I don’t suppose you managed to get anything out of them when they brought you here?” She prompted Sparrow.

I tried to get under his pelt, but it didn’t work. The others though, they’re good as blind kits, following orders from him and whatever this Greaser cat is. I would know, I used to be that way. Ugh. It’s embarrassing, thinking about it.” Sparrow huffed deeply.
