Hey people!

Thanks to everyone who is reading this right now. (Don't leave! Please!) This is my first fanfic... I hope you like it! We are going to read the surprising and interesting story of Falcon of ThunderClan. Along the path of life she will make new friends, go on adventures, find true love, and maybe even find out who she is and where she belongs.

This story is set after the Vision of Shadows.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Warriors series. (Spottedleaf should be alive!!!)

Prologue

The young cat peered out of the heather bush. Just a few more pawsteps…and… gotcha! The cat leapt, and the vole that was ahead of her was now dead. She grabbed her prey and trotted off to go eat by the lake. Hopefully, she wouldn't get caught by one of those Clan cats, or get chased of by a bunch of rouges.

Even though Falcon loved getting time to herself, she can't help but wonder if it would be different as a Clan cat. She would rely on her Clan to help her, and she would help her Clan. What am I thinking? Flacon shook her head. I'm not one of those selfish fools who take everything for themselves. Then she stopped. Am I?

The she-cat was snapped out of her thoughts as the bushes parted, revealed a brown and white cat. "Hello, Rain," was all Flacon said to her. She raised her tail in greeting, instead eyeing the half-eaten vole lying on the ground. "You caught that all by yourself?" Rain asked.

"Yes, I just caught it."

"Well done, Falcon." Rain bent down to sniff the prey, taking a small bite as she did so. Falcon's pelt heated up from anger, but soon she regained control. "I'm not a kit anymore, you don't need to praise me." She said through gritted teeth.

Rain sat up, her pale fur just barely bristling. "I'm sorry, who was there to save you and Storm when your mother left? Who was there to give you extra attention and comfort you when your sister was taken? Me. That was all me. I have every right to praise you like a kit, and I have every right to leave you just like your mother did." She said in an icy cool voice. "But, lucky for you, I won't do that."

Falcon twitched her tail in understanding. She stood up, brushed off her dirty pelt, and bounded away, out of sight from Rain and her feelings. She knew it was rude to run away from Rain like that, but she did it all the time, and she'll come back in a few days- or moons, if she's really upset.

Rain never understood Falcon. Rain never understood how Falcon hunted, how she acted, and how she coped with her feelings.

But that was about to change. Because this time, Falcon wasn't going back to Rain. Falcon has decided that her foster mother should stay out of her life. I don't belong here, she thought. The young she-cat turned around to look at her home one last time. As the sun set, it cast a fiery look upon the forest, turning the river orange and the trees golden.

Goodbye, Rain…

Well, I think that was a good chapter! We get to know our little Falcon a little bit better, and we gain some knowledge of her hard life.

Does anyone else dislike Rain? I mean, I know I created her and all, and so I'm supposed to like her, but I don't.

See you next week!
