Chapter 1
A black kitten sat on top of the fence awaiting her friend.
"Stephanie!" a tabby tom yelled. Stephanie looked over.
"Troy!" the kitten meowed excited. She hopped off her fence to greet her friend. "Look! My housefolk gave me a new collar!"
"Cool!" Troy exclaimed staring at the pink collar. "Come on! Lets go explore!"
"Ya!" Stephanie agreed as the two kitten padded off.
Stephanie stared up into the forest a bit later. "Come on! Or are you a scardy cat?" she teased Troy.
"Fine!" Troy said and ran into the forest with Stephanie close behind.
The black cat gazed up at all the trees and scents of animals. "Wow! It's even better than Mouse said it was!"
"Ya…" Troy said amazed. "Bet I can climb faster than you!" He said looking at a tree
"Can not!" Stephanie argued
"Can too!" Troy retorted.
"I'll show you!" Stephanie said and bolted up the tree with Troy close behind. The two cats climbed up the tree and reached the top. They stared out at the entire forest.
"Wow…" Troy said admiring the view.
Stephanie nodded to amazed to speak.
Then they heard a shuffling sound coming from the ground Trop looked down expecting to see a mouse or something. "Cats!" he gasped.
"What?" Stephanie asked and looked down. "Cats!" she said looking at the gray tabby cat and the white cat down below. "I didn't know that cats lived in the forest!"
Then the gray tabby looked up and saw them. "Hey! You two get down here!" he yowled
Stephanie followed the cats orders and so did Troy.
"Ha! There kittypets!" the white cat laughed.
The tabby looked at the white cat. "Yes Frostpaw they are." Then he turned toward Stephanie and Troy. "What are you doing here? Don't you know that this is IceClan territory?"
Stephanie looked at them confused. IceClan? Territory? Where are their housefolk, how can they live out here alone?
"Apparently not." Frostpaw sneered. "Can I take them back to their territory? I actually want my own apprentice mission, Grayheart?"
"Alright then, but be back by sunset." Grayheart said.
Frostpaw nodded, "Come on, kittypets." She said and led them away.
Stephanie and Troy followed the apprentice out to their home.
