Chapter 2

Daughter

The Doctor quickly stood up glad to be on his own two feet, but after spending a few months with them his sight and sense of smell seemed to be lacking except now he could see color better. His brain worked hard to remember what he was doing then in a rush Sophie hit his mind and in a second he flew and was already punching in for when he was supposed to pick her up.

As the doors open he ran over to her aunt's house. Lilly. It's be nice to see an old companion again. He wished he could see Allyson, but shook the thought away. He had to make it count for Sophie now. She loved cats, so she might love to become one with him.

He knocked on her door and his sixteen year old daughter came bouncing out a smile flashing on her face. She would pass as nine in human relativity, but she had been living for sixteen. It was hard for her to get a proper education.

He couldn't wait to tell her what they were doing. He grabbed her small child body by the hand and ran to the TARDIS. They were both eager. As the TARDIS door closed behind them, her small little eyes grew huge. The Doctor found it funny that no matter how many times he took her in there she always thought the TARDIS was beautiful and the TARDIS loved her as she was a part of him and the TARDIS knew she would never be able to separate The Doctor and his daughter. Sophie called herself Rainy. She called the Doctor Time. She knew he was her father and that he was on his older part of his years. She knew she would still have a lot of time with him though and a smile crept to her lips.

"What are we doing this time Time?"

"It's a surprise! I promise you will enjoy it and because I'm a time traveler we can spend a lot of time there."

She jumped to his side and quickly asked what his coordinates were as they both flew the TARDIS side by side. Suddenly a screeching sound hit them and both fell to the ground unconscious.

Rainy was worried. As she blinked open her eyes the color was faded except for the blues and greens which stood out. She could smell her father was next to her. She could smell her father! She sat up and turned around to see her father was a tabby and the TARDIS had changed.

The Doctor opened his bright green eyes and smiled at her, "Surprise!"

"You turned me to a cat! How is this a surprise!" She hissed at him.

She was a light silver cat with black paws. The tip of her ears and tail were black and her eyes were a grayish blue. She was very striking. She was already his age. He thought she would be where he started. At least they could train together.

"Trust me Rainy!"

He padded out of his 'den' and saw that the sun had just risen above the horizon. Dovewing was waiting for him just outside and saw the newcomer instantly drawing her scent for who she was. Bramblestar looked over his shoulder at them, "I knew when I heard that noise Lightpaw would be here!"

He seemed to lack enthusiasm, but Lightpaw acted as if he was happy to see the little apprentice and smiled back. Rainy bowed her head realizing he was of the highest authority.

"I have brought a fresh apprentice about my age to train in your ways to become a warrior."

Bramblestar looked back at Squirelflight who seemed cross.

"You seem to be taking advantage of how easily you think it is to make it here. You have shown vast knowledge and fast learning able to pick up our ways and master the herbs as well as training to hunt a fight. You have shown progress, but do not expect us to take in your friend and let her stay if she can't prove her worthiness. She will share a den with you and her apprentice duties will begin tomorrow. I will hold an apprentice ceremony for her at sunhigh, but for now you and Dovewing will be joining a hunting patrol while Jayfeather, Cloudtail, and Greystripe will explain to her the way of a warrior."

Lightpaw was dumbfounded by the sudden aggression. This clan usually let in other cats. He could smell the difference. In fact his deputy held a kittypet scent. It wasn't obvious, but just enough to set his thought process.

Amberpaw and Snowpaw didn't look at her too kindly. This clan was all of a sudden very hostile. Lightpaw wondered if Jayfeather had told his secret. Lightpaw shook the thought from his head. Surely the sudden blame would only earn him more hostility.

His daughter was intelligent and clever, yet a sudden burst of energy at her most fatal moment was her major flaw.

Dovewing looked down at him and flicked her tail signaling him to walk with her. Lightpaw smiled and walked alongside his mentor. Dovewing was always kind to him, but even she was on edge today. He wondered what he had done.

"Dovewing if you don't mind me asking what have I done wrong?"

Dovewing sat down her tail irritably flicking yet she kept her voice gentle and sweet, "You have been gone for a couple of days and the Clan has been spreading rumors about your loyalty."

Lightpaw blinked at her comprehending what she had said, "Listen, Dovewing, I am a traveler and what I am about to tell you you must believe, but don't let it change your opinion."

Dovewing gave him a curious look before nodding allowing him to speak, "I am a 'Twoleg' traveler who found myself turned into a cat and I brought my daughter here, because she loves cats."

Dovewing shook her head in disbelief, but she could tell from his expression he wasn't lying. She turned away lost in thought. "You-you let us believe you were a loyal cat to our Clan yet you are a Twoleg!"

"Don't you see now that my daughter is here my life is here and here only. You can't tell the others or they will doubt me too. I can't have you doubt me we were put to be a team right?"

Dovewing looked at him betrayal and thought in her eyes. She was honestly angry that he lied and her trust seemed broken. Lightpaw wondered if it was just a lost cause and sighed turning around. He didn't want to try to make her believe anything. That's not trust he needed her to walk herself there. Dovewing sighed and walked in front of her distraught apprentice.

"Let's train. Today we need to work on some of the battle basics. In this session we shall keep out claws sheathed, but act as if I am a real enemy. Before we begin training let's test your instincts and skills so I know where to start you and where you don't need training, where you need tune ups, and where you just need to learn.

"This is a battle and I am a warrior from another Clan."

She leapt at him and he jumped swiftly out of the way. She knocked the tom over and he flinched eventually leading her to victory.

"Okay...you were afraid to even try to make a simple move."

He knew it would difficult to go and fight. He was against violence, but he needed to try again and prove to them he wasn't a disloyal nuisance he was a strong promising warrior. He leapt at her and used a swift body twist to expose her belly, but she swiftly moved her hind legs and kicked the apprentice up leaping to her feet and moving a swift blow on his ears. He yowled and threw his front paws over her head shoving her face into the ground. He leapt and hind kicked her back. He won against her. All of this made him feel wrong and he bounded at her side, "It's okay you have just awoken your true warrior. Great job now how can we improve?"

"I needed to be swifter and rake your belly before you throw me off. I gave you the perfect wait to be prepared."

...Short While later...

Lightpaw was exhausted from his training. He was so promising that Dovewing pushed him, but eventually he made an almost perfect battle. He just couldn't wait to see his daughter. The long day would finally reward him.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath high ledge for a Ckan Ceremony!"

Lightpaw bounded into camp and picked a spot next to Daisy smiling at his foster mother.

"We have a new cat willing to become an apprentice of our Clan. She is a friend of our trusted Lightpaw who has shown great intelligence and experience at a young age. We hope she has the same potential and will fulfill our clan however becoming a clan cat has duties she will accept. From this day until she was received her warrior name she will be called Rainpaw and her new mentor will be Brightheart." The hollow was filled with gasps then cheers of excitement. Cloudtail smiled at her and Brightheart walked up in utter shock. She hadn't mentored anyone, but Jayfeather who was blind which was the only reason they let her mentor him.

"Brightheart you have been a fine warrior of ThunderClan and have shown your wisdom and strength to overcome your weakness and help it make you better. Pass down these qualities to Rainpaw and show her how to conquer and turn her weaknesses to strengths. Since Lightpaw is close to her Brightheart will mentor Rainpaw and Dovewing will mentor Lightpaw together as a team to help the apprentices learn together."

Rainpaw looked up at Brightheart and instantly saw her wounds. Those must've been her weaknesses. She felt sad for the she cat and winced at her at first shocked at her appearance. Brightheart grinned happily.

After Brightheart and Rainpaw touched noses and the cheers died down Rainpaw walked over to Lightpaw and they padded to the den. Light paw signaled an unused bed between him and Snowpaw. They both curled up and dosed off.

Lightpaw felt a chill up his spine as he opened his eyes to see someone he longed to see. Was she really there?

Allyson.
