The Thunderpath

I follow after Voleclaw one step for him is forty to me so to keep up I need to jog after him. When we started climbing up the hill, keeping up just got harder with rocks as big as my head falling as he climbed ahead of me. “How are you doing back there?” Voleclaw says without looking back. As I was about to answer another rock was rolling straight at me, without thinking I jumped up and  barely missed it I turned around at Voleclaw “ Slow down you almost killed me.” I yell .He turns around and picks me up by the neck and continues walking up the hill. 

When we reach the top there was a black river at the top going along the edge of the hill.

“This it the Thunderpath, we must be careful when crossing to not get hit by the monsters.” Voleclaw says “what’s a monster?” I say. Suddenly a large, fast, and loud black thing speeds past us. “That is a monster.” Voleclaw replied. 

He looks right and left before jumping into the Thunderpath and racing across before another monster comes. He jumps one more time making it safely to the other side. We look back and see a white monster rushing past us “That was close.” He says as he places me down. “ Let’s keep moving.” He says and keeps moving forward as I try to keep up.

The sun was high in the sky with clouds covering it from time to time as Voleclaw wasn’t saying anything so I decided ti start a conversation with him “So what happened to your clan.” He replies after a couple minutes as if my words were slow and distant “I … I don’t know what they are doing now I just know that they don’t need me anymore … but … never mind.” “No, tell me what you were going to say.” “ I was … you won’t tell anyone when I take you to the clans right?” “Not unless you tell me it’s ok.” “ Ok I…I tried to kill my brother, he was planning to kill the leader Seastar to become leader, I couldn’t let him do it though she was having my kits, and I loved her too much. I was a medicine cat so I wasn’t allowed to have kits but seastar was just too beautiful and radiant so when I found out she was having kits I was overjoyed but, my brother ruined that for me, he was planning to kill her after she had her kits. When I was trying to kill him someone saw and told seastar but she didn’t know the whole truth but it was too late and I was exiled.” “Sorry I wasn’t listening that well can you tell me again.” “No.” “Please.” “No.” “Awwwwww.” 

After another long while the sun started to set and the moon was coming out looking. A little bigger than last night. I was put on Voleclaws back when it got dark so that the night time creatures wouldn’t get me. After a few minutes later little green lights started to flash on and off all around. “What are those?” I say to Voleclaw “ Those are fireflies, aren't they beautiful.” He replies “Yes.” The little hum of the fireflies felt peaceful in the dark forest with the moon illuminating everything by a little. 

As I started to drift off a lowd sound woke me up similar to the monster on the Thunderpath. “ What was that?” I asked “ That’s the Thunderpath again sounds bigger though.” 

Weaving through the grass and plants we come out to see the biggest Thunderpath ever with one side having red monsters and the other with white. “Ok this it going to be even more dangerous.” He reaches back and picked me up by the neck again and holds me there and jumps over the metal wall blocking us from getting over and runs faster than ever before missing monsters by inches getting to the center where he puts me down to catch his breath. “It’s been a while since I ran (huff huff) that fast.” “You must be old.” He stops breathing hard and stairs at me for a moment then he picks me up without saying anything and leaps into the next part of the Thunderpath.” He jumps and dodges the monsters tell we are almost to the other end of the road till I heard a crash behind me and then I was thrown onto the other side of the Thunderpath and hitting the ground and rolling through the grass till I stopped.
