Savage quietly waited by her mother, tail flicking calmly. Blade had said Rip, her father, wanted to speak with. While she was little bit nervous, she was also very excited. It might have to do with her trainee ceremony!

As she spotted Rip padding up, Blade turned to her. "I'm so proud of you honey." she purred softly, and gave her a nudge.

Savage gave her a confused look, but nonetheless, trotted up to Rip.

"Okay, this is very important, so be focused." Rip reminded her as she followed him to the edge of camp. When they got there, she quietly sat down, careful not to disturb him. She nodded.

"Alright. So, as you probably know, we have very many fighters and hunters right now. Quite a while ago, after you were born, Blade and I agreed on something: one of you three will become a fighter, while the other two will become slaves. I'll admit something - we both thought you were going to be a slave, since y'know... your looks. But after a little bit, it came clear that you had the skills, not Choice or Clover." his eyes gleamed happily. "I have some more news. Your ceremony will be tomorrow."

Savage gasped. "But that's when-"

Rip smiled. "When Monster's kits have their ceremony, yes. You will be traineed with them. One more thing; many toms will want you, Savage. Mainly for your looks. Don't get sad if it doesn't work out- there's a tom out there who will love you for you. Also... don't tell Choice and Clover. They won't know until tomorrow at the ceremony."

Savage nodded happily. "Thank you so much, Rip." she purred and padded back to the Kit-mother den. She silently curled up near her mother and sisters. Tomorrow will be a big day, she thought. I need my sleep.

She ran away, hearing the yowls behind her. Grief struck her - she was leaving her own sister behind... and she knew it was her fault. It wouldn't have happened if she didn't make the mistake... the biggest mistake of all time...

As she ran, she felt like she being watched. Impossible, she reminded herself. They are all at camp. No one knows that she is out here, no one knows she left her sister for dead to save herself.

Run, her thoughts reminded her. Get away. They will come back for you, you need to run. She forced her legs to go faster, as they carried her out of the BloodGroup territory, she began having second thoughts. It's for their own good, reminded herself. She looked behind her - nothing. But as she turned the corner... she saw a big black-

"Savage! Wake up!" Savage woke up, tail quivering just a little bit. She looked to her right and saw Clover smiling at her. "It's time for our ceremony, you silly mouse!" he meowed happily. Savage inwardly sighed. They don't know yet, she reminded herself yet once again.

Savage quickly groomed herself, making sure her fur stayed down and that she didn't look gross. After she was done, she padded out of the den to meet with Monster's kits and her littermates.

Monster leaped up onto the cliff, where he began to yowl. "All cats please meet beneath Blood Cliff to begin the ceremony!"

Savage stood next to Clover and Choice, smiling eagerly. "Choice, Clover please step forward." Monster's amber eyes gleamed as he took in the young she-cats. "Due to your appearance and lack of skill, you two will be slaves. Once my sons War and Terror come of age, they will be your masters." Choice and Clover walked over to the slave den, heads hung low. Savage watched them sadly, wishing they could become trainees with her.

"Savage, please step forward." Savage quickly took a few steps forward, being careful not to fall over her paws. "You will become a fighter trainee, since you have shown great skill and eagerness. Your mentor will be Rip. I expect greatness from you." Savage touched noses with her father. As they sat down to listen to the rest of the ceremonies, Rip whispered, "It was my turn to mentor. I recommended you."

She smiled shyly, ignoring some of the toms who eyed her. These toms are all mouse-dung. I need a tom who will appreciate me, not just want me because of my appearance, she thought. Was this how slaves felt? Being eyed all the time? At least Savage had a choice. She wasn't forced to have kits with some cat she didn't love. This realization just made her feel worse for her sisters.

Once the ceremony ended, Rip told her to go meet the trainees. It had been a while since she's talked to Monster's kits, she realized. As she padded in, she noticed Bella wasn't in there.

Arrow glanced up. "Bella is outside camp with Monster." He told her, knowing that was who she was looking for. Savage made a face - if Monster and a she-cat went out alone... there would be some new kits coming. She nodded and sat in a nest nearby Crooked, the only other she-cat in the den.

Crooked smiled at her. "We need to stick together, we're the only she-cats our age."

Arrow sat near them. "Bella and my fighter ceremonies are tomorrow, so you will be the only she-cats in here." He smiled at Savage. He's pretty nice, she thought.

She shifted in her nest. "You're the only tom I've met so far." Savage smiled back.

"Hope I put in a good name for all the other ones." Arrow chuckled. Crooked looked back and forth between the two of them.

Storm padded in and stopped short when he saw the three talking. He very quickly trotted over and sat in between Savage and Arrow. HE gave a quick glare to the tom before smiling at Savage.

"I wonder how it would feel to be a slave." she wondered out loud, thinking about how her littermates were feeling right now.

Arrow thought for a few seconds. "Well, all the toms would be all over you. You would be forced to have kits, so I think it would be terrible."

Storm shifted closer to Savage. "Do you want to be a slave?" he questioned.

She let out a small laugh. "Oh, of course not. I just feel bad for Choice and Clover, you know?"

Crooked nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, I get it. Well, I have a big day tomorrow, so I think I'll probably go to sleep now.

Savage nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I probably should too. Thanks for talking to us." She smiled at her new friends as she curled up, ready for tomorrow. It will be one of the best days in her life, she was sure of it.

A/N

How is it so far? I think with chapter 2 we'll probably just jump right into it, but I don't know.

How do you think would be a cuter couple? Arrow and Savage, or Storm and Savage?
