This story will be told from 2 POVs (though still in 3rd person): Shadepaw from SkyClan and Storm from BloodClan. This is so the readers can have an idea of what is happening in both Clans. I'll try to put both POVs in each chapter. Shadepaw's will always come first, and there will always be a line separating them, like this:
Shadepaw could hardly contain herself. She was finally an apprentice! Her best friends, Hazelpaw and Leopardpaw, were brother and sister, both a moon older than her, so she was relieved that she could be with them again. She was also glad to have Petalnose for a mentor. The pale gray she-cat had always been nice to her. Shadepaw looked back into the throng of SkyClan cats to see her mother, Cherrytail, and her father, Bounceheart. They were looking towards the Rockpile with pride in their eyes.
After she touched noses with her new mentor, the Clan called out her new name so loud that the kittypets in the nearby Twolegplace could probably hear them, "Shadepaw! Shadepaw! Shadepaw!"
Hearing the entire Clan cheer for her and only her made Shadepaw's heart swell with pride. Someday she would be the greatest warrior SkyClan had ever seen. She came down from the Rockpile with one simple leap.
"Congratulations!" Leopardpaw purred, "You're an apprentice at last. That means we can train together. Aren't you excited?"
"Definitely. I can't wait until tomorrow."
"That's great," said Hazelpaw, coming from behind, "Come on, I'll show you where you can sleep."
Shadepaw nodded, "Okay."
"Storm! Storm, get over here this instant! Hurry up or I'll rip your entire pelt off!"
Falcon's frenzied cry jolted Storm from his sleep. Although Storm was BloodClan's deputy, Falcon, the leader, had almost no respect for him. The only reason Storm even was deputy was because BloodClan, the fierce Clan of the massive Twolegplace, did it a little differently than the other Clans. Instead of the leader choosing the deputy, the deputy position was decided by a duel to the death. Two cats who wanted the position would fight, and whichever one lived became the deputy. Storm got his spot in BloodClan by killing Snake, brother of the legendary Barley, one of only three cats who got out of BloodClan alive. And of course, Falcon had never liked Storm.
Storm entered Falcon's den, his head held low, "Yes, what is it Falcon?"
"I have realized that the Twolegplace might not be the safest place for my Clan to live. Over the past few seasons, more cats have been killed by monsters than ever before. I think it is time for us to move."
"But Falcon," Storm objected, "BloodClan has lived in the Twolegplace since the beginning, and members have been squashed by monsters, since the beginning. That's just the way it is. Why should we leave?"
Falcon stood up and snarled, "Are you trying ot tell me how to run my Clan again Storm?"
"W-well n-no, b-but..." Storm stuttered.
"Get out of my sight!" Falcon spat, "I am the leader of this Clan, and what I say goes. You have no right to tell me what to do!"
"Of course not. I'll go. In case you've forgotten, though, I am deputy of this Clan."
"Is that all you have to say on the matter?" Falcon questioned.
"Yes. Sorry to have bothered you."
