Birchtail's Secret - Chapter 9

"That fate could have happened to Birchtail?" Rivera nodded. "Then we thank your human, and we should give her something. But we will not give her Birchtail, Birchtail belongs to the clans. He will stay here until he fades from our minds." "Rivera, listen to that." called Senara.  "What is it?" asked Meghan. "We hear those all the time, they are just human machines that rumble around on little hard paths." said Sunflower. "No, not the rumble the whoosh. The sounds of high winds." said Esther. "I remember something now, that sound is the sound of those windy shapes. The spirits send them to punish someone or something if it miss behaves and does something wrong." said Sonia. "Wait that must be the human, my human, her mistake was letting Birchtail escape. We have to go." snapped Rivera. "We will send a patrol with you to the end of the human world, said Sunflower. Rivera turned and with a flick of her tail the human cats raced away from the camp. Sunflower nodded to the patrol and they took off towards the human home. Rivera had stopped and signaled to her patrol to climb up a tree. She turned to Bella, "Bella can you see a blue block, vehicle?" she asked. Bella turned and shook her head. "Well if Bella can't see it, it isn't there." Mossfur's patrol skidded to a halt at the base of the human world. "We're up here," called Becca. Mossfur turned and looked up. "What are you doing up there," she called. "Looking for a blue machine, that isn't here." said Tess. Mossfur nodded, "since it isn't here what does that mean, is it bad?" asked Mossfur. "It means that my human has taken the vehicle and has left the house, to return when the storm dies down. Which means that I have no one to take care of me until she returns." "You can come with me," said Esther, "My human has allows liked you." Rivera turned to pad away when Mossfur called out. "Would you like to stay with the clans instead, you can keep an eye on Birchtail and then when the human coms back you can go back and live with her again." Rivera considered. "What about Thistlestar?" asked Rivera. "Thistlestar knows we are loyal to the clan and the warrior code, bedsides Thistlestar said we owe you. This is what we can do, we can give you shelter and we can help you survive."
