Hey guys! I'm back!!
Special thanks to LeoRayz, my first reviewer!
I'm here to give you the allegiances for my story. (I know, I hate them too) But it's ok! Because I'll make it quick and painless! I'll only write one Clan down per chapter so we get the allegiances and four new chapters.

Falcon stumbled through the forest where she grew up as a kit. She hoped she didn't see Rain here, since she was upset at her. Falcon didn't even think she could look at her foster mother. She really didn't want to be here right now.
However, this place was, and always will be, her home. Falcon really wanted to leave the forest after Rain had yelled at her a quarter moon ago, but she thought better of it and decided to just avoid the moor.
Lightning shot across the sky, striking a nearby tree. Luckily for Falcon, the tree didn't catch on fire. She was in no condition to run. Earlier, she stepped on a thorn and got it stuck in her paw. Now it won't come out.
Another bright light zipped across the sky. Rain beat down harder now, so much that Falcon could hardly see. Forget this, I'm going to go rest and wait out the storm. She found an oak tree surrounded by bushes, and she went to go curl up inside one.
The storm lasted for what felt like seasons. Shivering, Falcon rested her tail on top of her nose and drifted off to sleep. The last thing she heard was the rumble of thunder across the sky.
"Wait! I smell something," a small she-cat said.
"Well, what is it?" A tom asked.
The first voice, a blue-gray and white she-cat, sniffed the air. "I- I think it's a cat!"
Another voice sounded from upwind. "I smell it too," he stated.
All three cats began searching the border, sniffing around rocks and boulders, the bases of trees and in bushes. Finally, they came across the oak Falcon was resting under. "It's strongest here," the young she-cat whispered.
The third cat, a gray tom with a black face, parted the bushes to reveal Falcon. A black paw gently prodded Falcon's shoulder. "Hello? Wake up!" He said quietly.
Falcon opened her jaws in a wide yawn, and then blinked open her eyes. "Wha- where- where am I?" She asked sleepily.
"It's a rouge!" Hissed the first cat. "What is she doing here?" His brown pelt was fluffed up in anger.
"I don't know, but maybe you should actually ask the cat who's trespassing instead of the cat that knows just as much as you do!" The blue-gray she-cat growled.
The brown tom looked from the she-cat to Falcon. He sighed. "Alright." He walked up to Falcon, who was still trying to wake up fully. He looked at her uneasily, then he spoke. "Who are you?"
The she-cat looked at the tom. "My name is Falcon. And you three are Clan cats, right?" The three cats shared an uncomfortable glance. Then the she-cat nodded. "Yes. My name is Cloverbreeze, and this is Robinfur." She gestured to the skeptical brown tom. "And that is Shademask." The gray tom raised his tail in greeting.
Falcon softly growled. Great. More annoying cats to deal with. Why can't I just live in peace? She was snapped back to the present as Cloverbreeze said something. "Sorry, what was that?" Falcon didn't hear what the Clan cat had said.
"I asked how old you were."
"I'm four moons." Cloverbreeze's eyes widened in shock.
"Where's your mother? For a kit that young, you should be with her." Shademask chimed in. Falcon sighed. Why does my life have to be so hard?
"I don't know where she is. She left my sister and I about a moon after we were born. My sister was taken by rouges soon after. I lived with my foster mother until yesterday." Falcon didn't know why she was telling Clan cats her personal information.
Robinfur looked from Falcon to Cloverbreeze to Shademask then back again. "So you're all alone now?" He demanded. Falcon nodded. "At least there's only one," he muttered under his breath. Cloverbreeze cuffed him over the ears and he rolled his eyes. "We need you to leave our territory." He looked back to Falcon.
Falcon twitched her tail in understanding and attempted getting up. She immediately collapsed back onto the ground. Her muscles were sore, and she was pretty sure her injured paw was infected.
"Are you okay?" Cloverbreeze asked, a hint of worry in her voice.
"Yes, I'm fine," Falcon gritted her teeth and tried getting up again. She managed to get up, but she couldn't walk on her paw.
Shademask looked at the struggling kit. "She needs to see Finchpelt." Cloverbreeze nodded while Robinfur hissed.
"Do you really think we are going to let some rouge into our camp?" His brown ears were laid flat against his head, and his amber eyes were chips of ice.
"She needs our help," Cloverbreeze lashed her patched tail. Her spotted fur was beginning to fluff up.
"But-" Robinfur was silenced with a look from Shademask. He shook his head.
Cloverbreeze whispered, "We are taking her into our camp."
Falcon awoke to the sound of a cat padding around her. Where am I? A bright light shone down on her, warming her dull coat. She tried to stand up, but was stopped by a cat.
"Stop moving." A tortoiseshell cat placed a paw on her shoulder. "You'll injure your paw even worse." It was then that she realized her paw was thickly wrapped in some type of sweet-smelling plant. "Chervil," the tom flicked his mottled tail. "Your paw is infected. You need to keep those on for about another quarter moon, maybe more."
Falcon glanced back down at her paw. She growled softly. Just my luck. First, I get yelled at by Rain. Next, I get caught in a storm. Now, I'm stuck with Clan cats for another moon.
The tom looked at her. "I'm Finchpelt. Robinfur's brother. And you must be Falcon?" The she-cat nodded. "Cloverbreeze and Shademask want to see if your okay. Shall I let them in?" Falcon blinked in agreement. Finchpelt rushed out of the den, and soon returned later with his two Clanmates and a new she-cat.
Cloverbreeze rushed over to Falcon. "Oh, you're okay! I was worrying. I would never forgive myself if I saw a cat in pain and I didn't help." Shademask followed after her, carrying a thrush. "Thought you might want this," he said, dropping the bird at her paws.
She tentatively took a bite out of the prey, then pushed it away. She instead redirected her gaze to the new she-cat standing in the room. Cloverbreeze acknowledged her. "This is ThunderClan's deputy, Frostcloud." Frostcloud ice-blue eyes looked back at Falcon.
"Hello, Falcon."
"H-hi?" Falcon was puzzled. Why were all these cats coming to see her? She's a rouge! Clan cats hated rouges… right?
Frostcloud turned to Finchpelt. "How much longer until she can walk again?"
"About a quarter moon."
The deputy nodded and started to head back out of the den. Shademask and Cloverbreeze followed. Finchpelt turned back to his den, muttering something to himself and sifting through herbs.
Falcon laid her head back down on her bed of moss. Her paw ached, and she was tired. She felt darkness envelop her as she closed her eyes.
"Falcon. Falcon, wake up!" The white splotched she-cat woke with a start. Finchpelt was prodding her in the side with a mottled paw. "There's prey waiting for you," he said, sparing the small mouse a glance.
Falcon sat up, slightly wincing at the faded pain in her paw. The chervil had come off about a quarter moon ago, and her paw has been covered in comfrey root, dock, and she's been eating feverfew and poppy seeds.
She delicately walked over to the mouse lying in the center of the den. The mouse was good, but tasted dry to her. She doesn't like it when cats catch her prey for her.
Falcon stood up and looked at Finchpelt, who was just now emerging from his den. "Does your paw hurt?" The she-cat glanced down at her wrapped pad.
"Not really." She replied.
Flinchpelt nodded. "Good. You take those off now, but remember to eat two poppy seeds everyday."
Suddenly, Frostcloud padded into the den. She dipped her head to Finchpelt. "Amberstar would like to see you." Her and Finchpelt headed out of the medicine cat den, talking in hushed voices.
Falcon stood up and unwrapped her paw. Gently resting her weight on it, she headed over to Finchpelt's den. For the past half-moon, she has been sorting his herbs to pass time.
She started taking out shriveled up juniper berries and tossing them to the side. "Amberstar would like to see you." She nearly jumped out of her pelt when another cat came up behind her.
Finchpelt beckoned with his tail to follow him. Falcon cast the berries a glance, then walked after him. As they crossed the clearing, several cats watched Falcon and Finchpelt make their way across the clearing.
She got a feeling that some of these cats didn't like her. Robinfur and three other cats were glaring at her. However, Falcon just ignored their looks and headed for a rock ledge at the edge of the camp. Underneath it was a small cave- most likely where Amberstar's den was.
Finchpelt stopped at the entrance to the den. "Amberstar?"
"Come in," A silky smooth voice replied.
Finchpelt stepped into the cave, followed by Falcon. She peered into the darkness, and green eyes shone back at her in return.
Amberstar stood up and stepped into the light. Frostcloud, the deputy, also stood. Finchpelt dipped his head to both she-cats. They returned the greeting.
Amberstar turned to look at Falcon. "I am Amberstar, leader of ThunderClan. And you must be Falcon, correct?"
"Yes," Falcon bowed her head in greeting as well.
"And how old are you?"
"Four moons."
"And where is your mother?" Amberstar's voice held a hint of worry.
Falcon raised her head to look at the leader. "Gone. She left when me and my sister were just a moon old."
Amberstar nodded. "And where is your sister?"
"Taken. By rogues." Falcon lashed her tail at the memory, which was now washing over her mind, clouding her thoughts, and she was thrown into the flashback.
"Falcon! Where are you?" A light gray tabby she-kit stepped out from behind a hazel tree. Falcon giggled.
"You'll never find me!" She shouted in response.
"You'd better hope not!" Her sister screeched. She ran around their den, trying to find out where Falcon was hiding. Soon, the tabby picked up a scent, and followed it around to an old badger set.
Falcon held her breath as Storm sniffed around the set. "I know you're in there," She said.
As Storm leaped at her, Falcon sidestepped, using the move their mother had taught them before she disappeared. Storm landed hard on the ground. "Oof!"
The sky had been gray for a long time, and now it just decided that it would be a good time to rain.
"C'mon! Let's hide under this bush!" Storm raced off to the hazel tree. Around it were several think clumps of bushes. She zipped under one, with Falcon on her tail.
"Ooh, look! There's a mouse!" Out in the open, a small mouse was scuttling around, looking for food. Storm dashed out and killed it with a swift bite. "Got it," she mumbled.
"Well, what do you know? We got ourselves a little kitten out in the open, with no one to protect her. How wonderful." The bushes behind Storm parted to reveal three cats- rogues. The leader, a ginger tabby with dark brown stripes and a scar along his eye, looked Falcon's sister.
"Can we take her, Scar?" A she-cat spoke up from the group. Falcon's eyes widened in horror as Scar, the leader, looked at Storm, deep in thought.
After a few heartbeats, he nodded. Storm was visibly shaking now. "Of course we can keep her, Lightning! It'll be the kit we never had." Lightning, a pale brown she-cat with cream-colored spots, looked at Storm, assessing her.
Another tom, a black one with ginger and white patches, glanced uncertainly at Storm. "Wouldn't she be just another mouth to feed?"
Before Scar could say anything, Lightning spoke up. "No, she won't be just a mouth to feed, Dust. I'll train her and teach her how to hunt. She'll be the best cat she can be! I think I'll name her… Echo."
Scar smiled and looked at Storm. "C'mon, Echo, follow us." Storm threw one last glance over her shoulder at Falcon. Their eyes locked, and Flacon knew she had to save her sister. "I'll see you again, Storm," she whispered.
So you're all alone now?" Amberstar gazed at the former rogue. Falcon shook out her pelt, then nodded.
"How ironic, isn't it, Frostcloud? We just had a rogue join our Clan about a moon ago." Amberstar turned to Frostcloud, then back to Falcon.
"Where do you live?" She asked.
"I don't live anywhere. I just ran away from home." Falcon lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Is that why you were trespassing on our territory?" Frostcloud asked gently, but with ice in her voice.
"I- I didn't know this was your territory!" Falcon stammered.
Amberstar nodded, then turned to Frostcloud. They began speaking in hushed voices. Falcon strained to hear what they were talking about, but didn't get a word.
"Alright." Amberstar turned back to Falcon. "Falcon, how would you like to join ThunderClan?"
