Creepy (chapter 24)
"Cindertuft!" Came the strong, yet comforting voice of Longpelt."Longpelt?" She called back, slightly confused. "I thought you've retired?"
She winced slightly. "I have. I've only come to tell you of some new arrivals...follow me."
She padded after the old she-cat further out of the camp until they were just at the border.
Longpelt stopped at a fallen branch.
"This is where I leave you..." She meowed. "Just be warned..."
"...yes?"
"Just be. Warned. That is all. Bye." She padded back to the camp.
"Ok..." Cindertuft muttered. She headed up to the branch to see three cats there. Two toms and a she-cat. The she-cat was trapped under the branch, though she seemed strangely calm.
Her body was trapped underneath the branch, and her head twisted oddly to stare at Cindertuft with blue unblinking eyes. "Hello," The she-cat said as the two toms just stared at her, not moving, not blinking. One had luminescent orange eyes, while the other had two different eyes. "I am Poppystar of EerieClan. Please help." She said this an a calm, yet unervibg voice. Monotone yet sweet...
"How'd you get stuck there, PoppyStar?.." Cindertuft asked carefully, studying the oddball warriors.
"We were looking for help." Poppystar meowed again, still not blinking, tone not changing. "But then it fell. Please help."
Cindertuft's stare drifted off to the other two as she started to inspect the she-cat, which she knew she shouldn't of since she needed to pay attention. "And, um, who are these two, Poppystar?" She couldn't help but question.
The orange eyed one looked up at her and began to speak with a deep, almost unsettling almost relaxing voice. "I am Cloudeddark...EerieClan's deputy." His head jerked to the odd eyed tom in an unnatural way. "And this charmer would be Antieye...our med cat..." He grinned maliciously. "We're terribly sorry to disturb. We're just a small traveling party looking for company...just free our leader and we'll be on our way."
"O...ok," Cindertuft continued to inspect the leader until she found a way to lift the branch up. "Aha!" She exclaimed. "Come on you two! Help me."
The two walked over to her, jerking and grinning. Their motions upset her. This was definitely the weirdest cats she's ever met. Together they lifted the branch off. Popystar turned her neck around and somehow pushed herself off the ground.
"Thank you." She said in that strange, monotonous voice. "That'll be all." The odd eye, Antieye, said in a dark, menacing tone. then they walked off. Cindertuft wandered back to the camp, praying to StarClan that NEVER happened again.
