Chapter 1:Tigerpaw
I ran quickly through the trees like a monster. I needed to beat the Riverclan record for "The Fastest Time to Run Around the Clan Borders". I could hear my little brother Mousepaw cheering me on.
"Tigerpaw! Tigerpaw!"
He can be so sweet. I ran around more trees into a beautiful open field. I saw something dart past me. It was the son of the Windclan leader, Bushtail. He had recently earned his warrior name, when I was to earn mine that very night.
"Hey, wanna-"
"Bushtail," I puffed, "I'm racing!"
"Fine. Meet me after you get your warrior name!"
But why? I wondered. Oh whatever. I need to focus! I could see the camp. Home stretch! I sprinted to our clan leader, Cedarstar.
"And...Time!" he screamed. "Tigerpaw, I'm proud to say, you beat the record by 6 seconds!"
All my clan mates cheered! I was officially the fastest cat in the history of my clan! My brother leaped on me.
"Yay! You're amazing, Tigerpaw!"
"Relax, Mousepaw, it's only a race."
I tried to sound calm, but on the inside, I felt like flying! My mother, Dovewing, trotted over to us.
"Tigerpaw, I'm so proud of you! I'm sure your father would be too." She started to lick my face.
"Mom..." I groaned, "I'm almost a warrior! What's with the licking?"
"You're almost a warrior. I'll stop when you are one, sweetie."
"Well I for one, love getting my face licked," my brother meowed. I pushed him lovingly.
"C'mon. Let's go set up for earning our warrior names."
