Chapter 1

A tortoiseshell and white she-cat pelted away from the patrol of cats chasing her. They were forcing her away! Why? She hadn't done anything to deserve this! She was only six moons old, hardly old enough to be an apprentice, let alone cause a battle. Why had they blamed her? It had been her brother's fault! Oh Talonpaw, if I ever get my claws on you again! The cold truth was, she hated her brother. They had always fought. Their parents would sometimes side with her, sometimes him. But recently, she had been blamed for everything he had done. Bringing a fox into camp? Her fault. Losing that rabbit they had been chasing? Her fault. Causing the battle with RiverClan? Her fault. I almost want to leave, she thought as she ran away from the cats.

"We've almost caught up to her!" She recognized Jaggedstone's husky mew. Terror drove her on. How can I escape these fully-grown warriors?

"I've got her!" Talonpaw jumped and landed on her back. She yelped in terror, trying to struggle free from his death-like grip on her.

"Eaglestar will be pleased," Carrionwing growled, stalking up to Talonpaw and glaring at the she-cat.

"Why do you even try to run, Stupidpaw?" Beefang muttered, addressing her by her recent nick-name. Her real name had been Blossompaw, but because so many bad things had been happening, her name had been changed, to Stupidpaw.

"Let's take her back to camp," Jaggedstone meowed. The gray tabby tom picked her up by her scruff, and started dragging her back towards the ShadowClan camp. They would have to cross the Thunderpath, and Blossompaw was terrified of that place. They reached it before long, stopping to see if any monsters were coming.

"All clear," Carrionwing meowed. Jaggedstone began dragging her across the dank, stinging path. Suddenly, there was a large, booming sound, and a monster appeared! Jaggedstone tried hurrying to the other side, but he couldn't go very fast with Blossompaw in his mouth. He set her down and jumped in front of her, trying to shield her from the oncoming monster. It was HUGE. She thought regular monsters were big, but this one was so big, the cats could simply duck underneath it. And that's exactly what happened. As soon as the monster fled, Blossompaw took off, running faster and faster.

"Talonpaw has been hurt!" Carrionwing yowled in fear."Jaggedstone, go back to camp and fetch Mossflight!" Mossflight was the old medicine cat. He was very ancient, but still lived to serve his Clan. Every apprentice he'd had had died. If he died, ShadowClan would be in deep danger. Everyone had thought Blossompaw would be his next apprentice, but she had turned him down. "I want to be a warrior!" She had said defiantly, and both her parents were okay with her decision.

"I need to get Blossompaw!" Jaggedstone yowled. "She might have been hurt too! Send Beefang!" Jaggedstone hared after Blossompaw, who was running along the path. She was heading for SkyClan's territory.

"Blossompaw!" Jaggedstone yowled."Wait! I want to help you!" Blossompaw slowed, her paws stopped skimming the Thunderpath, and she came to a stop. "Go to Twolegplace," He huffed, breathing hard. "You'll be safer there."

"You sure?" Blossompaw asked. In truth, she and Jaggedstone were close. He wasn't her mentor, but she liked him more. They were close, and even when the patrol had been chasing her down, she knew he'd never hurt her. "Can you come with me?"

Jaggedstone nodded, "But only for a little while. Kestrelwind will wonder where I am, and Daisyfoot will be looking for you," Kestrelwind was their deputy, a strict and very somber cat. Daisyfoot was Blossompaw's mentor, who she didn't like too much.

"Okay." The two cats walked in silence for awhile, and suddenly they approached the stone buildings in silence. "Will I ever see you again?" Blossompaw asked Jaggedstone, her eyes clouding with grief.

"Of course. As soon as everything clears up, I'll come looking for you." Jaggedstone promised as he touched noses with the small cat. She blinked gratefully at everything he had done, and would do, for her. She turned around, leaped over the fence, and started walking through the short grass. She leaped over another fence, and landed in more short grass. The sun was setting quickly behind her.

Suddenly, Blossompaw heard growling. Her eyes stretched wide in fear as a dog lunged for her. It was a huge animal. "Jaggedstone!" She yowled as she began pelting away. "Help!" She raced onto a small Thunderpath, and a monster was barreling towards her. She yowled in terror as its giant black paw hit her. Her vision clouded with little white stars, everything spinning.

"Blossompaw!" She heard someone calling her name. Was that her name? Blossompaw sounded familiar, but she didn't know. I feel like I'm floating. Am I dying? She closed her eyes, and she wouldn't open them for another quarter moon.

A she-cat heard muffled sounds around her. Where was she? I can't remember anything, she thought. Something began to pick her up. Its paws weren't fluffy, but they were warm. She could hear voices. She wasn't sure what was happening. Her eyes flashed open, revealing bright lights, and very tall figures. One of these figures was holding her in its paws. These cats are so tall! And why are they naked? What's up with that? The little fur they had was on their heads, although this one didn't have any fur. She was put inside a shiny gray den, with tons of cats mewling around her. She closed her eyes. I'm sure this is just a dream.

***One quarter moon later***

Lucy chased after her new friends. She didn't remember what had happened after a car had hit her. Only that these humans were nice, and her dog friends weren't savage beasts. Even the day that the car had hit her, she only remembered what had happened after, not the actual incident.

"C'mon Lucy! Even Chile can run faster than that!" Chase, the large German Shepherd, was referring to the smaller dog, a reddish brown mutt called Chile.

"My legs aren't as long as yours!" She hissed, trying to keep up with Chase. The truth was, she believed her life hadn't been this fun. Only one name stuck in her head. Jaggedstone. Jaggedstone. Who was this cat? She didn't know. Couldn't remember. But she felt he was important. Her life was good now. She was strong and healthy. My parents would be so proud, apparently her parents had died. She couldn't remember that happening, but she didn't care. Life was about living in the present, that's what Caspian, the Golden Retriever had said. He was right! She didn't have time to dwell on the past. Her life was now, with her big dog brothers, and her master, Nicole.
