Chapter 1: The Kitty Pet

Moonpaw padded around the camp. She was so bored. Bluestar, Lionheart, and Graypaw had gone out hunting. Moonpaw was told to stay and help Spottedleaf. Not that she didn't like Spottedleaf, actually, they were best friends, but Moonpaw hated just sitting around.

"Moonpaw!" Spottedleaf called. Moonpaw sighed and padded over the medicine cat.

"Yes?" Moonpaw said, trying the boredness and irritation out of her voice. Spottedleaf laughed at her.

"I need more cobwebs, can you get some?" Spottedleaf asked. Moonpaw nodded and raced out of the camp. She just ran for a while, just for the feel of running. She stopped suddenly when she saw a fence. She had run too close to the twoleg place. She walked slowly to the gate, and then she heard Graypaw.

"You fight good…. For a kittypet." He said. Moonpaw creeped up to Graypaw, but still hidden in the bushes. She saw another cat with him, his fur like fire in the moonlight. She creeped up closer to get a better look at him. Then Bluestar and Lionheart came into view. They talked for a while, debating whether or not to let the kittypet join the clan. Moonpaw gulped in some air then stepped out of the bushes.

"I think he should." She said, not a bit of fear in her voice. Everyone turned to look at her.

"Moonpaw, you're supposed to be helping Spottedleaf!" Bluestar cried.

"I know, but I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I saw Graypaw and the kittypet…"

"It's alright. I understand. You were meant to come here." Bluestar said. Moonpaw just nodded then turned towards the kittypet. The moonlight suddenly glinted of her chest, illuminating the quarter moon shape on her chest. The kittypet's eyes grew wide in surprise, and so did Graypaw's.

"It's your choice of whether you want to join our clan or not. We will give you till sunhigh for an answer. Lionheart will meet you here." Bluestar said. The kittypet nodded, entranced by the symbol on Moonpaw's chest.

"Good-bye." Moonpaw sighed and walked over and licked the kittypet's head. Everyone then turned and left back to the camp, except for the kittypet, who went back to the twoleg place.
