Ooc: I never understood, but should Duskie be able to communicate through words with either Luke or the apprentices? |D;
Ic: The red-brown she-cat replied with a meow, purring as she rubbed her head under the man's hand, and Sparrowpaw blinked rapidly. That couldn't be the great Duskfeather, she would never have become a kittypet. It was unlike her in such ways that it would have been if Duskfeather had really joined Lionblaze. Impossible. "Who...who are you? That can't be Duskfeather, she's gone, she wouldn't have become a kittypet."

"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
"Duskfeather?" Tigerpaw muttered. "No. Way. She... wasn't she ThunderClan's leader? NO!" He shook his head. "That's like a big whoa. She's here now! She abandoned our clan! FOR A TWO-LEG! DISGRACE!" He shook his head and growled. "I. Will. Not. Turn. Into. Her." He muttered. His brain couldn't grasp it all. First, being two-legs and now Duskfeather, cuold the would possibly be normal?
OOC; Your choice really ^^ It doesnt matter to me =D We could do it so that only the apprentices understand her since our characters could understand humans in the first one since at one point in time they were human. So lets have it that the apprentices understand her but Luke doesnt ;D
Hawkpaw tensed in front of the man as the she cat rubbed her head against the man's palm. "If you really are the Duskfeather, dont you have any pride as a warrior?! How can you even stand to be held by that two leg?" The man's face looked on at them with suprise, "So it really must be true... I really shouldnt be that suprised. Considering what we went through all those years ago nothing suprises me anymore." The man stepped forward again only to recieve a growl from Hawkpaw. The rumbling in the apprentice's throat actually hurt compared to how it normally felt. Growling in this body wasnt normal and he could tell. "If you know something then tell us!" he hissed. The man sighed softly, "First of all its best if I introduce myself. My name is Luke, Luke Knightly but you may know me best as Runningcloud." Hawkpaw's eyes opened wider, if that was possible. Runningcloud? Yes he had heard that name before as well. Runningcloud was supposedly Duskfeathers mate but he had died right after the battle with Lionblaze. The whole clan had seen his body. "You're a liar! Runningcloud is dead!" Hawkpaw snapped.
Tigerpaw gasped. "No. Way. Runningcloud's.. he's dead! He died in the battle against Lionblaze! He was the only one on the good team that died... and.. and even his friends brought his body back and... NO. You are NOT Runningcloud. A two-leg? Being a warrior? As. If." He shook his head, completely sure that this.. this weird man holding the so called Duskfeather was not the legendary Runningcloud. So many good reasons why, and one most importantly, RUNNINGCLOUD WAS DEAD.

Ooc: Runningcloud died in the battle against Runningcloud? Multiple personality disorder, woah! xD
Ic: Duskfeather growled softly and leaped out of Luke's arms, landing easily before the cats-turned-human. "That's Runningcloud, I can promise you that much. He's more important to me than ThunderClan, they can get along just fine without me, as I'm sure they have, but just because I love someone does not mean that I have no pride as a warrior. Or would you like to tell Firestar that - if you ever saw him again? Why don't you hear what he would have to say." She shook her head, growling in soft frustration at the cats. They couldn't be any older than apprentices.
Sparrowpaw stumbled backwards in shock when she realized that she could understand Duskfeather - which made some sense at least. "You...he...you guys are legends. You can't be alive, legends aren't real, not anymore!"

OOC; Is anyone else enjoying this so far? Cause ive got to say, im having a blast XD
The man named Luke turned toward Tigerpaw and tilted his head to the side, and listened to Duskfeather. There was no recognition of her words on his face. He was suprised to see that Sparrowpaw understood her though. He lowered his eyes and rubbed his chin with his hand. The man appeared to be deep in thought for a few moments before he started up again. "Well, I was most certainly in that battle. I remember getting Ghostfur, Dancewind, Twisterstep, Onyxclaw and Duskfeather all ready and set up for the attack. In fact... I believe it was Ghostfur, Dancewind and Twisterstep that went around to the way station cats to get their help." Luke shrugged for a moment. Hawkpaw couldnt believe it. The had found Duskfeather and Runningcloud here in this strange world. Backing up, he turn toward Sparrowpaw with fearful eyes. "Listen, i know you're scared," Luke said, "But youve got to listen to me. Come with me to my home, er, den and i will tell you what i know and we will see about returning you guys home. In the mean time would you guys mind telling me your names?" Hawkpaw glanced sideways again toward Sparrowpaw and Tigerpaw. His eyes seeming to ask, 'should we?'
ic: Tigerpaw looked a bit nervous, but then, since they were all two-legs now, he gave in. "Lets go," he muttered, giving Hawkpaw a nudge and Halopaw a lick [yeah, it looked pretty weird]. Being one of the oldest, and since he was a guy, he decided to tentatively step forth. "Let's go," he said more clearly. "And err, where is your den?" His eyes narrowed down, ready for 'Runningcloud' to attack them and kill them all. He was still not used to the fact that he was a two-leg now, and he still had the same precautions against two-legs as he did when he was a cat.
Sparrowpaw put her front paws on the ground, and once feeling that this was very awkward, she remembered that Twolegs walked with only two paws. Pulling her hindpaws beneath her, she pushed up against the ground, grabbing onto the nearby dumptser for support. "M-my name is Sparrowpaw, and that's my cousin Hawkpaw. Our grandparents are Twisterstep and Poppyfrost."
Duskfeather seemed much more at ease when she saw the older girl standing up shakily and announcing her name. She turned around and jumped back into Luke's arms, purring softly as she nudged his hand with her head.

Luke couldnt help but smile at the daring young girl. He lifted a brow at them as he went back to Tigerpaw's question, "Well... actually its pretty far from here." He turned to look over his shoulder at the street where there were cars and people. "Hmm..." he mused to himself. He turned back toward the apprentices and said, "Alright, ive got an idea but you arent going to like it. Youre going to have to get inside a two leg monster alright?" Hawkpaw snarled at the idea, "There is no way you are going to let me get eaten by a monster!" Luke rubbed his forehead as if he was getting a headache. A light of an idea appeared in his eyes as he glanced down at them again. "Look at you guys. You are two legs right? Well two leg monsters dont hurt two legs. If you get side of them they take you safely where you want to go. How does that sound?" A smile appared on his face but Hawkpaw was unsure. "How does it know?" He murmured. "Because it just does," Luke pulled out a small, thin box shaped thing from somewhere in the rags he wore. Hawkpaw backed up a bit as he spoke in to it and then turned around. He was saying something to the box and it only made Hawkpaw stare at him like he was crazy. After another moment Luke put the box back in to his pocket and turned toward them. "Alright, the monster will be here very soon." Hawkpaw watched with wary eyes at his cousin and followed her example. He pulled his legs underneath him and tried to stand but managed to stumble backward and landed square on his back. He let out a growl of pain as he tried again. This time with success.

"And... I'm Tigerpaw. My.. my grandparents were Ghostfur and Dancewind." He sighed. "You do know them? Big, silver cat and then a small tabby?" He sighed. Everything was so much more awkward. Everything was different in the human world. Nothing was the SAME as being a cat. I mean, 2 legs? How do they balance? A few feet away from him, Tigerpaw watched Sparrowpaw grab onto something for support, and he started to feel dizzy.
