Why?
(Author's note- Sorry if I get the names messed up, I can't find the book with the right names in it. I also own nothing. I know, sad, isn't it? I asked to own something for Christmas, but I didn't get anything. :( )
Why let a kittypet into the clan?
We had plenty of warriors.
And even if we hadn't, we could have survived.
We didn't really need Firepaw.
I guess it has to do
With my own past.
And the leader who taught me to love.
(Kelly's POV)
"Kelly! Get your #!'n self in here!
I had no idea what the twoleg was shouting at me.
It didn't sound too nice though.
Rolling my eyes I turned my back on the twoleg and jumped onto the fence post next to the forest. Suddenly I heard a rustle.
And then, with a sweep and a bound, there was another cat sitting next to me.
This cat was gray and, for some inexplicable reason, orange.
What an unusual combination.
The cat spoke.
"Hello, Kelly."
"How do you know my name?"
I've been watching you."
That was the first time I ever met Sunpaw, my best friend.
She met me every day that moon, until her leader found out.
I fully expected that the fun I'd been having with Sunpaw would never come again. She told me all about the clans in the forest, and ThunderClan, where she lived.
But for some reason, I was offered a place in ThunderClan.
I would have taken it.
Really.
But that was the day everything changed.
My twolegs attacked. By the time I escaped, I was near death. My fur was torn almost entirely off my body, and there were a few small bits of metal embedded in my rump.
Sharpstar saved my life.
She had agreed to meet me in the forest.
And she was waiting for me there.
Together, he and Sunpaw dragged me back to camp.
Even after my body had recovered, three moths later, I would not speak to any one, and would hiss and growl at anyone who came close.
One day, Sharpstar convinced me to take a walk with him. Out in the forest, near Sunningrocks, She told me something I have never forgotten.
"Bluepaw," she said, using my new apprentice's name, "I've noticed your behavior lately, and I'm not pleased with it. I know your twoleg's betrayal was a shock, but you must always remember this;
Life without love is not life- Love without life is not love.
I took you in when many others would have left you for dead. I see talent in you. You could be leader some day. And if you do, I expect you to be a kind and just leader to every cat in your clan, as well as the one's you aren't.
That's my story.
That's how I almost died.
That's when I lived for the first time.
Why let a kittypet into the clan?

We didn't really need Firepaw.
It was because of my own past
And the leader who taught me to love
Sharpstar
Life without love is not life.
Love without life is not love.
That is why a kittypet.
