Chapter One

An Amazing Discovery Which Happened While Dovepaw Was Waiting For Lionblaze To Find Ivypaw Who Was Getting Her Mentor Cinderheart's Permission To Join Them While They Practised For Battle

It was a really bright and happy sunny day in ThunderClan and nothing was wrong so lots of cats were on patrol except for Lionblaze, Cinderheart, Ivypaw and Dovepaw who were sitting around doing nothing except for Dovepaw, who was practising her power while Ivypaw spoke to her and Lionblaze and Cinderheart sat outside near the fresh-kill pile, but suddenly Dovepaw was woken up by Lionblaze asking her to practise battle moves with him, so she could get better at fighting, and Ivypaw asked if she could come too, so Lionblaze said she could if she had Cinderheart's permission – Cinderheart being her mentor – so Ivypaw had ran out of the den to go and find her.

"You can stay here for a while if you like because I see you are practising and that is good because someday we might need to save the forest with it so I'll go and make sure Ivypaw has Cinderheart's permission to come with us while we train for battle and while I do that you can keep practising your power in here, okay?" Lionblaze said, and then left to go and find Ivypaw who was asking Cinderheart's permission to come with them so they could practise for battle.

Dovepaw started looking again, far off in one direction and she saw something that rather surprised her, as opposed to the boring patrols she had been watching earlier, this was very exciting and it rather surprised her so she looked more, because she had seen a Twolegplace with lots of cats sitting outside it on a wall who looked very happy and there was an old Twoleg pouring milk into a bowl for them.

But that wasn't quite what interested Dovepaw and rather surprised her, so she zoomed in through the window of the house and saw some pieces of wood, and on them were lots of bits of paper which were put together by bindings which Twolegs called 'covers' and sure enough, they were all books but this wasn't what rather surprised her either, so she zoomed in closer on one book.

The book had a picture of a cat on there, and this wasn't what rather surprised Dovepaw either, but the fact that the picture of the cat that was on the book on the bookshelf in the house with happy kittypets and an old Twoleg giving them milk, it was a picture of Dovepaw.
