"Ravenpaw" Barley said, "what was it like in the clans, with all of your friends and all". "Well" replied Ravenpaw, "Let me tell you."
"It all started when I was a kit" Ravenpaw said.
"Wake up Ravenkit" said Goldensun "C'mon little kit." Ravenkit opened his eyes for the first time in three days. After a quick look around, he started running around the nursery. "He's going to become a great warrior" said Shinefur: the other queen in the nursery.
-One moon had passed and he was the most active kit in the nursery.
"Come and get me" sneered Flamekit: Ravenkit's older brother. "Ok" Ravenkit replied, "I will!" With a burst of speed he went bounding across the meadow and toppled over Flamekit. The two kits went rolling in the grass until they heard a warrior screech "HAWK!" Every single cat in Thunder Clan ran to their dens – except the two kits. With a burst of speed, the hawk targeted the two kits. Only able two save himself, Ravenkit jumped to the side and ran off while watching his brother be murdered by the hawk and get carried away.
"On that day" Ravenpaw stated with tears in his eyes "I will kill anybody who murders anybody for his own selfish acts"
- 5 moons later
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the highrock for a clan meeting." Bolted Bluestar on the high rock, "we have two kits that have reached six moons and are ready to become apprenticed, Ravenkit"
"Yes"
"You're ready to become an apprentice, from this day forward you will be called Ravenpaw, Tigerclaw will be your mentor"
"Graykit"
"Yes"
"From this day forward, you'll be known as Graypaw, and Lionheart will be your mentor"
"Soon Firepaw came along" Ravenpaw quietly said, "he and Graypaw saved me from Tigerclaw"
"C'mon Ravenpaw, I know a cat who will keep you safe and give you shelter." The three cats raced through the forest until they reached Barley's barn. "Barley" Firepaw said, "This is Ravenpaw, he needs to stay with you until Tigerclaw is gone." "Fine with me" replied Barly. Overall, that is my life until now.
