This is a special/ beginning of a new story. Well, not beginning, but a sort of show-and-tell. Know what? Read and find out.
Update 7/5/13: I'm trying to jump back into FanFiction by reediting almost all of my Girl and one-shot stories are exempted.

Peace looked around. She could smell so many good smells! She smelt turkey! She loved turkey. She was about to eat it in her food bowl when two cats were scratching at the door. Peace looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then slipped outside with some turkey.
"Hey, are you two hungry?" Peace asked. The two toms nodded. Peace made a gesture that said dig in. The two toms ate like they haven't eaten in moons, which for all Peace knew, was true. The toms motioned her to follow them, so being the naïve she-cat she was, she did. Eventually the group stopped at forest. No cats lived there, at least any cats she knew of.
"Hello, my name is Ravenpaw. This is my loner friend Barley. I used to be in something called a clan, ThunderClan to be exact. Now, what a clan is in short is where a group of cats train to be warriors for their clan. In a clan, there is one leader, one deputy, one medicine cat, and one medicine cat apprentice. There are usually multiple warriors, elders, and apprentices. We sometimes get a queen with her kits as well. That is just the short explanation, but we can get more specific later on. And we were wondering if you woul-"
"Yes!" Peace interrupted, believing this could be an adventure of a life-time. The two toms nodded, dumbfounded on why she said yes so fast. "Can I also ask a couple of others? They would love to join to, I'm sure." When the toms nodded, she jumped for joy. She ran out, the first house being Healer's.
When Peace finally made it there, she looked around. Where was she? As she padded toward Healer's twoleg's house, a dog came bursting out the street, barking madly. Peace as always forgot the dog was released at this time.
"H-h-help! I need help!" Peace was frozen to the path. 'Why me! Why is it always me?!' Suddenly, she felt teeth grab her by the scruff of her neck and pull her into Healer's Garden. She and whoever was behind her stayed frozen in place until the dog past. Sighing out of relief, she turned around to say thank you when another shadow joined the first and they ran off. "Who were they?" Peace wondered out loud.
"The cat that grabbed you and pulled you out of the way was a tom by the name of Kitsunez. The cat that ran off with him was a she-cat named Blacky. They are rogues that help me sometimes in case the dog comes to destroy my herbs." Healer explained as she came out of her hiding place.
"Healer! You're all right! I was so worried you might have been forced to move again…" Peace said, mumbling the last part. Healer purred and nuzzled the younger she-cat affectionately.
"Do you need some herbs for your stomach again Peace?"
Shaking her head, Peace explained. "Healer, there are two toms that are going to make something called a clan?" Peace asked, clearly excited.
"What exactly is a clan Peace?" Healer asked, only getting a cat shrug from her foster daughter. Healer sighs, wondering if it was safe to join. "I'll join, but only to keep a closer eye on you. One of these days you are going to seriously injure yourself." Before Peace could celebrate, however, Healer added "Dragon may want to join as well. If Dragon joins, then he can bring Kitsunez and Blacky with him. Let's go to The Alley." Peace deflated as soon as Dragon was mentioned, and sadly followed the white she-cat to The Alley.
"You can find him around here." Healer said.
"Why do we have to recruit that fox brain again?" Peace asked.
"He can get the two other cats to join. The she-cat will listen and the tom will follow. It is their Rogue Code or something like that."
"I guess I have to respect that..." The two walked to the edge of the alley. Suddenly, a tom that looked like he had blood on his pelt attacked Peace.
"No, stop Dragon! She's my friend! Remember Peace?" He stopped his attack and looked down on Peace like was prey.
"Oh yeah! I missed you, Mud." Dragon said sarcastically, sneering her old name. Even though she knew she shouldn't be afraid of him anymore, she trembled as she looked up to him.
"M-my name is Peace now, Dragon. Peace!" Peace said out shakily.
"Looks like Mud is still a weak little kit. Maybe I should-"
"DRAGON! STOP TORTURING HER!" Healer yelled. "We came here to ask you a question. The question is do you want to join a clan."
"What's that? Mud's lame excuse to try and make some real friends? Heh, I'll join the kit's pity party." As Dragon said this, he picked up Peace by the scruff while she shouted out directions timidly. Behind them, two cats were following warily, hissing at any cat that went near the rag-tag group. Eventually, they made their way to the forest. As soon as Peace said they were there, Dragon dropped Peace's scruff, sending her tumbling down.
"That hurt you know." Peace said, narrowing her forest green eyes at smirking tom. Ravenpaw started to count the cats.
"Wow, six cats! With the two of us, that makes eight. Now, does everyone want to be in this clan? If you do, step to the left of the stick." Everyone stepped to the left. "Okay. We will start with the ceremonies. I'll go first." Mysterious person grabs a remote and fast forward through all the ceremonies. Blacky is now Blackfeather and a warrior. Healer is now Moonfeather and is the clan's medicine cat. Kitsunez is now Foxeyes and his apprentice is Peace, now Forestpaw, as well as the deputy. Ravenpaw is now Ravenstar, and will be going with Moonfeather to Star Lake, an underground lake that when the time is right, the moon shines perfectly over. It is steep where the moon is but extremely shallow around the area. Dragon is now Brokenheart (Forestpaw suggested the name). Barley is now Whitespots and is the only elder. They all went out hunting (with the exception of Moonfeather, who went to retrieve herbs from the two-leg garden, and Whitespots) and brought back enough prey for the eight cats. Their biggest catch was a turkey (that they stole) and they had a Thanksgiving feast. Forestpaw, secretly, gave thanks for several things. She was in a clan. Her mentor was not Brokenheart. Moonfeather and Forestpaw's bond had gotten stronger.
There you go! That's my special. It's on time too.
