Alice walked over to the cats and crouched down in front of them. “Hello. I’ve been waiting for you. A leader told me you were coming and she told me that you would understand us and vice versa. What are your names?” she said to the cats. I followed Alice and crouched down beside her. “My name is Firestar,” a flaming orange tom said. I jumped up, surprised and tripped on a branch. Edward caught me before I could fall and helped me up. “thanks.” He smiled, his teeth shining in the sun.

“I am Graystripe,” a gray tom said. They continued to introduce themselves. The pale ginger she-cat was Sandstorm, the golden brown tabby tom was Brackenfur, and the small white she-cat was Whitepaw.

“H-hi. I’m Bella Swan,” I stuttered. Edward chuckled and I glared at him. “I’m Edward Cullen,” he said. The Cullens introduced themselves and the cats glanced at each other. “So, what are you twolegs doing here on ThunderClan territory?” Firestar asked. “What? What’s a twoleg and what’s ThunderClan?” I asked. “You’re a twoleg. And ThunderClan is a clan made up of cats. Wild cats you might call us,” he said. “Oh.” Edward chuckled and I glared at him again. “What’s so funny?” I asked, annoyed. “It’s not me, hopefully.” I had a feeling it was me. “No, no. it’s just, that cat thinks we’re humans,” Edward said. “Oh. Well, how does he know? No other human in Forks knows that you’re a vampire,” I said.

“Good point. But I still find it a little amusing. He doesn’t know that if I was thirsty, he and his other little friends would be dead right now. Well, if you weren’t here and we were extremely thirsty. We all prefer something bigger,” he said. “I don’t think it’s that funny,” I said.

Firestar stepped forward towards Edward and I. “excuse me, but I over heard you saying you could kill us. Are you sure?” Firestar said. Behind him, Whitepaw unsheathed her claws. Edward smiled, not showing his teeth. “Oh, I’m absolutely positive. You wouldn’t stand a chance.” “How? It doesn’t look like you have claws,” Firestar said, getting a little annoyed. “Ah, but I have my own way,” Edward said, his teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
