Prologue:
5 cats walked into a clearing. The stars shone brightly in the sky. The first cat, a golden tom with amber eyes, spoke first.
"You all should know why we are meeting tonight." His voice was deep and echoed off the walls of the clearing.
"Of course we do! We have to choose proper boarders." Spoke another cat, a blue-gray she-cat.
"But how are we supposed to do that, Thunder?" A brown tabby tom asked.
"We all know what we do best, Wind." Thunder told the brown cat.
Another cat walked out of the shadows, a black tom with green eyes.
"My cats, of course, will have the pine forest." He told them. His voice was mysterious.
"Shadow, we have to discuss this with each other!" A white she-cat told Shadow.
"Of course, Sky, you always know best." Shadow sneered.
"Quit fighting! You know we have to do this peacefully! StarClan chose us to lead our cats" River, the blue-gray she-cat said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the stars started moving in the sky. Suddenly, cats started appearing in the clearing.
"River is right, you have to quit fighting." A starry cat spoke. Her voice was ghostly.
"We chose you five to lead your cats. There will be five Clans. ThunderClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and SkyClan. Each of you will lead the Clans." Another cat told them. "You will live under the warrior code of StarClan."
"Thunder, you will be leader of ThunderClan. You will be known as Thunderstar. Wind, you will lead WindClan. You would be known as Windstar. Shadow, you will lead ShadowClan. You will be known as Shadowstar. River, you will be leader of RiverClan. You will be known as Riverstar. And finally, Sky, you will lead SkyClan. You will be known as Skystar" The first cat spoke.
"You will choose a deputy and a medicine cat. And you will live as a Clan together. But you four Clans will be rivals. You will meet here every full moon under a truce. But after that you will be rivals again." Another cat said. And with that, the cats disappeared and the five cats were alone again.
"Now, we have to choose borders." Skystar meowed.
"RiverClan will have the wetlands over by the twoleg farms. The border will be by the stream with the stepping stone, and then the gorge." Riverstar said.
"ThunderClan will have the oak forest. The border will be by the stream with the stepping stones, the big Thunderpath, where the pine trees start, and where the moor starts." Thunderstar meowed.
"WindClan will have the moor. The borders will be the gorge, the thunderpath, and where ThunderClan's forest starts." Windstar suggested.
"ShadowClan will have the pine forest across the Thunderpath. The borders will be the thunderpath and the stream that separates us and the other pine forest." Shadowstar told them.
"And SkyClan will have the other pine forest. The borders will be the stream, and where ThunderClan forest starts" Skystar said.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow night we will meet here with all the cats and separate into our new Clans." Thunderstar told them.
"Ok. Tomorrow night." Skystar said. And with that, the cats headed towards their new territories.
Chapter 1:
The next night, all the cats met in the clearing with the four trees.
"This clearing will be known as Fourtrees. We will meet here every full moon under a truce." Thunderstar told the cats under the moonlight.
"Now is the time to separate into our Clans. Cats who can swim and prefer fish will join RiverClan." Riverstar said.
"Cats who are fast runners and can chase down rabbits will join WindClan." Windstar said.
"Cats who are night hunters and prefer frogs and lizards will join ShadowClan." Shadowstar said.
"Cats who can run through the undergrowth and like forests will join ThunderClan." Thunderstar meowed.
"And cats that a good jumpers and can take down birds will join SkyClan." Skystar meowed.
Cats started moving toward their new leaders.
As a flame colored tom made his way through the undergrowth, he realized that he was no longer a rouge he was a ThunderClan cat.
This is great! I wonder what my name will be!
Suddenly, Thunderstar stopped.
"Now its time for you to get your warrior names" He said. He jumped onto a huge rock and looked down on his Clan.
The tom waited patiently until his turn was up. Finally, it was.
"From this day forward, you will be known as Sunpelt. Welcome to ThunderClan." Thunderstar told him.
Sunpelt. What a great name!
Then, he noticed a beautiful gray she-cat.
"Hi!" He said to her.
"Hi Sunpelt!" she said.
"Whats your name again?" Sunpelt asked awkwardly.
"Ashfoot." She told him.
"Nice to meet you Ashfoot." Sunpelt said. "Hey, would you like to go hunting tomorrow?"
"Sure! Just us?"
"If you want..." Sunpelt meowed.
"Its a deal!" Ashfoot mewed and padded to make her nest in the new warriors den.
Sunpelt padded after her and made his nest. He fell asleep easily that night despite so many cats.
The next day, Sunpelt and Ashfoot went hunting just as they planned.
"This is awesome being in a Clan." Ashfoot said.
"I know. I'd rather be in a Clan than a rogue." Sunpelt agreed. Sunpelt was carrying a squirrel and a mouse and Ashfoot was carrying a vole and a shrew.
They padded into camp to see cats all around them working on dens. The warriors den was already finished. Now they were working on the apprentices den, the nursery, the elders den, and the medicine cat den.
"I wonder who will be our medicine cat." Ashfoot wondered out loud.
"StarClan better chose fast. Leafbare is coming and cats will get sick." Sunpelt agreed.
"Hopefully they will choose soon. I just hope its not me. I want to be a warrior and be able to have kits and a mate." Ashfoot said and looked at Sunpelt.
Is she hoping I will be her mate? Sunpelt wondered.
