Chapter 1: The found kit

It was a dark, gloomy night as a tiny gray kit walked around the woods alone. He had not eaten for days and wished to find shelter, soon.

He spotted a long grayish black path and curiosity pricked at him. What's the path? He thought. Maybe there's shelter beyond it! He raced toward the strange thing and began to sniff it. It had a wierd stench to it that made the kit lift his nose away from it.

He decided just to cross the path to try to find shelter. The gray kit slowly put his right paw on the path, then did the same with his other paws until his whole body was on it.

The kit heard a loud sound that was undescribable. He turned around to see a large, giant monster heading his way. He closed his eyes, knowing that he'll never escape quick enough.

He felt a tug on his scruff and was launched in the air, away from the monster. The kit didn't know what to think! He was slowly placed on the ground. He turned to see who his rescuer was. He saw a large, muscular white tom with fox red ears and tail.

The tom walked next to an old silver she-cat and sat down next to her.

"You're some lucky kit." The silver she-cat said, her voice calm and steady.

The white and red tom nodded in agreement.

The kit wondered whether he should fight these cats, or be grateful for their helping. "W-who are you?" He asked.

The two bigger cats exchanged glances, then looked back at the gray kit. "I am Redleap, of Iceclan." The white tom mewed. "And this is my leader, Skystar."

The silver she-cat then said, "What are you doing out here, alone? On a thunderpath!"

The kit shifted before answering, "So that's what that path is called! Well, I was abandoned from Nightclan, they didn't want me."

The she-cat stared at him in shock. "Why!" She asked.

The kit shrugged.

"Nightclan's just full of a lot of foxdungs! We don't need an explaination, Skystar." Redleap said.

"I know! But they're not that mousebrained!" Skystar hissed. "There's got to be a specific reason!"

"Um, I'm still here." The kit whispered.

The cats turned to face the gray kit again. "Yeah, this kit is right. Lets focus on getting him back to camp and feeding him." Skystar mewed. "What's your name?"

The kit answered, "I don't have a name."

Skystar nodded. "We'll give you a name at your ceremony."

The kit nodded.

"Okay, come kit, we'll take you back to camp." Redleap said and began walking toward a river.

The kit followed after Skystar, wondering what the camp looks like. "So, you're a leader?" He asked Skystar.

Skystar nodded. "Yes, leader of Iceclan."

"What does a leader do?" He asked, there were so many questions!

"A leader is the cat who makes the decisions in the clan. The leader calls the meetings and keeps the clan together during hard times. Every clan has a leader." Skystar answwered.

"That seems like an important job." The kit muttered.

Everyone fell silent until they arrived at camp. It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

"You will sleep in my den with me until tomorrow when I will hold your ceremony." Skystar explained and lead the kit into her den.

The den was large and warm. Skystar was making a small nest for the kit to sleep in. The kit crawled in the nest once she was done and closed his eyes. He then drifted into sleep.
