Chapter 1: We become the Warrior Cats!

I blinked open my eyes and let sunlight fill them. I woke up on the forest floor. That's weird. I thought. I don't remember passing out here. The trees were tall and a soft wind was blowing through the branches. A bird was chirping in the distance. Where am I?

I looked around for my friends, but I could not see anyone. I stood up. I was startled by how tall everything looked. I couldn't really be that short! This was way too weird to be true. I must still be dreaming. I thought.

I looked around the grassy clearing, but could not find my friends. "Hello?" I said.

"Hello?" I recognized the groggy voice of Regan.

"Regan," I said, "Regan, where are you?" I turned around to see a sandy colored cat. It was extremely weird because it came up to about my height.

"I'm right here," the cat said. I stepped back. What? My tail swished patiently behind me. Wait. I thought. Tail? I looked at myself to find the worst possible thing that anyone could ever wake up to.

I was a cat.

I looked at the sandy cat which must have been Regan. "I'm...a...cat," I choked. "I'm a cat!"

Regan looked at her paws. "No way!" she said, "I am too! This is so cool!"

Cool? I thought. We play a game, go to sleep, get turned into cats, and all she can say is cool! Regan began to chase her tail. She tried to nip it and said to me, "now I think I know why animals chase their tails." I gave her a weird look.

I tried walking around in my new body. It felt weird walking on four legs, but it felt strangely natural. When I looked down in a puddle, I saw that I was a silver she-cat with black paws, tail tips, and ear tips. My eyes were a startling green. I looked exactly the same as the cat I had made up yesterday. As I looked over at Regan, I saw that she looked like Rowanwing, her cat.

"Hey, Regan," I said, "if we're cats, do you think Sarah and Elise are to?" If so, they must be around the area somewhere. I thought. Maybe they know why this has happened. I made a mental note to ask them later...if we ever found them.

Regan was busy playing with her new tail, which was rather bushy. "I'm not sure," she mewed, "maybe we should try yelling?" We both went around screaming for Elise and Sarah. However, we heard nothing back. It was as silent as a mouse.

"I guess...they're not," I said my ears drooping. I felt as if we should face this thing together.

Just then, a brown tabby and a white and gray she-cat came out of the bushes. The brown tabby's paws were all white, except for one black one, and the gray and white one had pale blue eyes. We instantly knew who they were. "You called?" they said teasingly.

"More like screamed," I muttered to myself.

Sarah looked afraid. "What do we do?" she asked, "I already miss my family!" Her tail flicked nervously and she plopped down on the grass.

Elise considered this. "Well," she said, "we don't even know for sure if this is real. It could just be a dream."

"One that I don't want to wake up from," Regan sighed happily. "I doubt we'd all be having the same dream, anyways." Elise shot her a glare. We were just trying to make Sarah feel better, but I don't think Regan had received the message. How did I feel about it? To be honest, I didn't know. Being a cat was cool, but I would miss my family dearly.

We all paused. "Have you guys noticed that we're exactly the same as the cat's we made up last night?" Sarah asked. All of us but Regan nodded.

"How old do you think we are?" I heard Elise mew.

I looked at myself, then the others. "I would guess around five moons." What? We were cats but we weren't even the age of apprentices! I must admit, that did bother me. I smelled a foul breeze blow in. Something was familiar about it...but I couldn't decide what.

Elise was the first to recognize it. Her amber eyes stretched wide. "Not good," she said. "Remember my history? Well, I think it's coming true."

Her history. I tried to remember it. Then, I did. Wait! I thought. "No it can't be," I exclaimed. Sarah and Regan tilted their heads.

"Fox."

A word that sent sickening shock waves through my stomach. Cats were killed by foxes, especially kits. If they were only five moons, would they even stand a chance? I shivered at the thought. I could almost feel the claws tearing at my pelt and the jaws clamping around my neck. But, we were supposed to live according to what we made up, right? Unless it was just a coincidence. That thought made me shiver.

"We've got to get awa-" Sarah started, but she didn't finish. Before she could finish, a red creature emerged from the bushes in front of us. I felt Sarah tremble beside us and noticed that I was trembling to. My legs felt weak, like they were about to give way.

"Stupid Foxheart!" Regan spat. I tried to warn her not to, but I don't think she heard me. The fox gave out a snarl, it's eyes fixed on us hungrily. I only wish Regan knew that a fox was not another bully at school...no this creature could kill her. I saw her unsheathe her claws. Don't do it, Regan!

Before I could move, Sarah shouted, "Run, Regan!"

We all sprinted away, and the fox trailed just a mouse length behind us, nipping at our tails. Why did we have to start out as kits? Regan hissed at the fox, but I yelled, "Don't look back!" We all ran faster, but the fox just ran faster too. Panic seared through me like an iron. Brambles and thorns snagged my silver pelt as I ran along the undergrowth. That's when I saw what could be our last chance.

It was a branch. A high branch hanging off of the tree, but just low enough that we might be able to reach it, if we jump really high. That'll never hold! Some voice told me. I ignored it. It was either that, or an angry fox. I'd take the first any day.

"Guys!" I yelled. "We have to jump on that limb up ahead!"

"Are you crazy?" Sarah asked. "Us jump up there!"

"I might be crazy, but you can face the fox if you want." I replied. Sarah shut her mouth. With no more protests, I screamed, "On the count of three!" The others nodded. "One." The fox lunged forward at us and I panicked, but the branch was close. There was no time for two. "THREE!" I yelled.

We all jumped into the sky and I hoped that some small part of us had SkyClan blood because we were going to need it. I shut my eyes until I felt the wood of the limb beneath my claws. I opened my eyes. Regan and Elise were next to me, but Sarah was gripping the branch with only her forepaws, her hind legs flailing wildly below her. "HELP ME!" She screamed.

Regan's eyes were wide with fright. She grabbed her sisters scruff in her mouth and pulled her up. "Lay off the food!" she grumbled. Sarah blushed. Regan pulled her sister up beside her and we stared down at the fox.

The red creature was snarling viciously, but everytime it tried to climb to limb, it fell down. "In your face, Mousedung!" Regan boasted. The fox scraped at the tree for a second, unpealing several shards of bark in the process. Finally, it just gave up and disappeared behind bushes.

"That was close," we all said.

We all sat too shocked to speak from our encounter. That's when a thought hit me. If this was true, and we were the cats we created. Did that mean that this forest...was...was...ThunderClan's territory? I stared at the trees dumbfounded. Some of my favorite characters like Graystripe or Dovewing could've walked through these very trees, caught this very prey, climbed this very tree.

A red pelt jumped out of the undergrowth. Panic flashed in our eyes. The fox? He was back!

"Wait a second," I said, "that's not a fox. Well it sort of is!"

At that moment all our eyes grew wide. "Is that..." Elise began, "is that who I think it is?"

Yes. We all knew who it was. It was Foxleap, ThunderClan warrior.

Four other cats followed him. A light tabby tom who I thought was Birchfall, Toadstep, a she-cat who I immediately knew was Brightheart, and a light ginger apprentice. They looked at us intently. "Who are they?" I heard the apprentice ask. Toadstep silenced her, and I figured that he must have been her mentor. I couldn't believe it! We were in the prescence of real warrior cats!

"We shouldn't let them stay on our territory." I heard another voice say, though I couldn't identify who was talking. "Maybe we should chase them out."

"No! They're only kits. You would really chase them out?" That voice was unmistakably Brightheart. "I say we should take them to Bramblestar, he will decide what to do with them." I wondered if they knew we could hear them.

Foxleap padded towards the tree. "It's okay," he said, "we won't hurt you." I snorted. We may look like kits but we were born with the knowledge of any leader! I had read all the books! Foxleap continued. "We heard a fox over here. Are any of you hurt?"

We all shook our heads. The warriors gently started to climb the tree. Before we knew what was happening, they grabbed our scruffs and put us on the ground. When we were all on the ground, Birchfall asked us, "Now, what are you doing on our territory?"

"We were lost!" Elise said. I understood what she was getting at. After all, we can't just tell them we were twolegs who magically transformed into cats!

"Where's your mother?" Brightheart said, concerned.

"We are all alone," Regan improvised, "our parents are dead."

The cats whispered to each other. Probably deciding if we could join their clan. I thought. The apprentice spoke, "What are your names?"

We all looked at each other nervously. Would they recognize our human names? I didn't think so. Saving everyone's butts, I spoke up. "I am Mistykit," I said, "our parents knew about the clans and gave us clan names." They seemed surprised at this. "These are my sisters." I gestured to Elise, "This is Eaglekit." Next, I flicked my tail towards Sarah, "This is Snowkit." Brightheart flinched at the name, and I wondered what she was so sad about. Finally, I turned my muzzle towards Regan, "And this is Rowankit." I made a silent prayer that they would catch on to my idea.

The apprentice nodded her head towards us. "Nice to meet you," she mewed, "I am Seedpaw. My mentor is Toadstep." Toadstep nudged her. I realized that they didn't expect us to know what a mentor is. Wait...Seedkit! Or Seedpaw, now. That's who the apprentice was. One of Sorreltail's kits. Actually Sorreltail was getting quite old, I wondered if she was still a warrior.

The warriors finally concluded their decision. "Alright," Birchfall explained, "we're taking you back to our camp. Bramblestar, our leader, can decide what to do with you from there. Stick close to us."

I almost squealed in excitement. I was going to ThunderClan camp! And better yet, my friends were coming with me. Could this day get any better? I looked at Elise, I mean Eaglekit, she was bouncing with excitement to. I guess we have to start calling each other by our kit names if we're going to be in a clan.

I fell into pace with Brightheart. I had always admired her and felt sorry for her. She seemed like two different people. On one side was the beautiful ginger and white she-cat she used to be, but on the other was the horrid scars and torn skin, which was a mark from the dog pack. Brightheart sighed, "I know I am ugly, there is no need to stare."

I felt shocked. She had thought I had been staring at her scars! No, I wasn't afraid of her. I admired her. "Sorry," I mumbled, "your just really beautiful." Brightheart gaped with amazement, and I padded away, grinning to myself.

Snowkit was nervous. I noticed that she started chatting with Toadstep. Duh! I thought. Toadstep was her favorite character, of course she'd want to talk to him!

I was excited too. Would I get to see my favorite characters like Leafpool, Dovewing, and Squirrelflight? Reading about the characters was fun, but getting to know them personally would be so much better! We followed the warriors through ThunderClan territory until we arrived at the camp.

The camp was just as I imagined. There were the stone walls of the hollow, one side steeper than the other. There was the thorn tunnel down below, and cats sharing tongues in camp. I saw I ledge-like thing, which I immediately knew was the Highledge and the cave underneath that must've belonged to Bramblestar. She even spotted the way up the stone hollow that Leafpool took when she was meeting with Crowfeather, in Twilight.

"It's beautiful," was all I heard from Regan, I mean Rowankit. We all nodded our heads in agreement.

"Now we must see Bramblestar," Foxleap said with a little jump in his step. I watched him bound down the less steep side of the stone hollow. I purred. No wonder they called him Foxleap.

Eaglekit, Snowkit, Rowankit, and I all followed him into the den. A large tabby tom with amber eyes sat in his nest. "That must be Bramblestar," I heard Eaglekit whisper to me. I agreed with her. Who else could it be?

Bramblestar's gaze rested on us. "Who are these kits?" he asked Foxleap.

"Loners. We found them on the edge of the territory."

Foxleap also whispered something into Bramblestar's ear. The leader's ear twitched. "That's very bold of you to say that, Foxleap. Join the clan...hmm.." He studied all four of us and I puffed out my chest. We had to look warrior ready if we were to join the clan. Bramblestar laid his head on his paws and thought for a second. "Since, ThunderClan is lacking of kits," he said, "I think that we will allow you to join the clan. Cinderheart can raise you, after all, she has enough milk with her only kit." I let out a relieved sigh.

"Squirrelflight," the leader added. The dark ginger deputy emerged from the shadows, nodding in acknowledgement.

"Yes, Bramblestar?"

Bramblestar checked the light outside. The sun was setting. "I will announce there arrival to the Clan tomorrow. Many cats will be going to sleep, now. Could you take these kits to Cinderheart?" Squirrelflight nodded and gestured for us to follow her with her tail.

We entered the nursery to find three queens. Daisy, Poppyfrost, and Cinderheart, who had Lionblaze's one kit, called Hollykit. Hollykit was a black she-cat with green eyes. Probably named after Hollyleaf. Poppyfrost had retired as a permanent queen. ThunderClan's deputy explained the situation to Cinderheart and the gray tabby nodded, warmth filling her blue gaze. We snuggled up next to her and shut our eyes.

Yesterday, we were Elise, Regan, Sarah, and myself, Melissa. Today we are Eaglekit, Rowankit, Snowkit, and myself...Mistykit.


Wow. Long chapter. *Phew* Here's a question for all of you, the first three people to get it right will all receive Cinderheart plushies! But anyways your question is...drum roll please...what do you notice that is unique about their names? I will probably make another chapter tomorrow, but for now...

Over and Out!
