~ThunderClan Camp~
Silverpelt
"Come on, let's get back to camp," I told Rockclaw.Then we trotted away from Sunning Rocks toward ThunderClan camp.
Just as we arived, Whisperstar was calling a Clan meeting.It wasn't until then I realized I was falling in love with Rockclaw.We started eating together, sharing tongues, patroling, hunting, and whatever else you could think of.I knew he was the one.But was I honestly ready to take on the role of a queen?
Thinking silently, I sat below Highrock next to Rockclaw.I kept looking at my paws until our leader began to speak.

As Ashstar trotted off with Flamepaw, I sat just thinking to myself about Blackcloud.Perhaps I'd talk to him when he gets back from patrol.If he wasn't fit for being a warrior, then let him become a kittypet, loner, or rogue.Ashstar had said a few days ago that every cat has his or her place.It takes some longer to find than others.
Just then, Blackcloud came trotting into camp with Pinepaw."Back so soon?" I questioned.
"We ran into Kestrelstripe and RiverClan's deputy - a gray she-cat.They said they were on their way to Highstones, and it looked as if they were," he replied calmly with a slight hiss through his teeth.
"Thank-you, Blackkcloud.I was hoping I could speak with you alone?" I asked.I still wasn't sure how to ask him.Especially now that he had reported such great information.
We walked a little ways out of camp and sat down."Blackcloud, Ashstar and I have been wondering if your fit for being a warrior.You've been slacking a lot.Do you wish to be a warrior?" I asked slowly.
There was a long pause."No...I'm losing interest and loyalty.I want to be loyal but I can't.I wish to find a happy life as a kittypet, but I will finish Pinepaw's training first," he answered slowly.

~ShadowClan Camp~
Willowtail
Skyglow padded toward me."Wanna share some prey with me?" he asked.He seemed hopeful and like something was bugging him.
"I would but I've already had my share of prey.You may sit with me though," I answered."What seems to be on your mind?You seem as if something is bothering you?" I wondered.
I sat waiting for Skyglow's response.I was worried about ShadowClan's deputy.
Bluetail
He's in his den sleeping.
Stormkit
He's not doing anything but playing outside the nursery.
~RiverClan Camp~
Icetalon
I entered the cave and Kestrelstripe waited outside the entrance.When I found the Moonstone, I layed down beside it and went to sleep.
Just as all the legends said, StarClan comes and grants you your nine lives along with your leader name."Icestar!Icestar!Icestar!" StarClan chanted over and over.
When I woke up, I stood and ran out of the cave.Kestrelstripe was awake and waiting.Then we started running back toward RiverClan camp.
When we were back, I found some warriors holding a foreign cat hostage."What's going on here?" I demanded."Where have you found this she-cat?"
"We found her at the border.She claims her name is Dutchess.What should we do with her?" one of the warriors asked.
"I am truely sorry for intruding!" the gray she-cat explained.I've decided to leave my kittypet home and join the four Clans.May I join yours?I promise to uphold the Warrior Code and learn the way of the warriors.Please?" The words poured out like a river.
"You'll be apprenticed for now.I'll give you the chance, but if you mess up, you won't see the forest again.Understood?" I said firmly."Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather below the Highrock." The whole Clan gathered and then I spoke up,"Dutchess, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and train with your mentor until you become a warrior?"
"I do."
"Then, from this moment, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice shall be known as Ashpaw.I will be mentor this apprentice." We touched noses and she was happier than ever.
