XX Chapter 1 XX

When she woke up the next morning, she was in a den with a she-cat sitting next to her, just watching her.

"Good, you're awake." said the calm and friendly voice. That voice belonged to the dark gray she-cat that had been sitting next to her.

"Excuse me, but who are you? Where am I?" asked the young she-cat.

"I see you can talk...well that's good. I am Cinderpelt. I am the medicine cat of Thunderclan. And you are?" asked Cinderpelt, once again being very kind and gentle, so as not to scare the young one.

"..."

"What is your name, dear?"

"...I'm... not quite sure... who I am." sighed the little she-cat.

"You must have a name!' Cinderpelt cried indignantly, thinking that the young she-cat was shy, or just hiding something from her.

" I don't honestly know what my name is, or where I'm from. Seriously! You've got to believe me!" cried the young she-cat. "I swear, if I knew, I would tell you!"

"It's alright...I believe you."

"Thank you!" she sighed in relief.

"Since you don't know what your name is, let's figure one out for you, until you remember." Cinderpelt said, trying to lighten up the mood of frustration and embarrassment.

"Ok."

"Well then...let's see...with your pretty red-ish orange-ish fur, which looks like fire...I would say Embers...So right know, if you were to stay in the Thunderclan and have a mentor, you would be Emberpaw." Cinderpelt stated waiting for a response.

"Emberpaw...Emberpaw...Emberpaw...I...I like it!" said Emberpaw slowly.

"Well that's good! Come on then! Let's go have a talk with Firestar." Cinderpelt said before hobbling away. Only then did Emberpaw notice that Cinderpelt had three normal legs, and one twisted one. Immediately, she felt sorry for her and decided to be kinder to her and to help her whenever possible.

"Who is Firestar? He sounds kind of mean...His name does I mean!" Emberpaw quickly corrected herself after getting a stern glance from Cinderpelt.

"He is our clan leader, and he makes all of the important decisions. You'd do best not to get on his bad side." said Cinderpelt before leading the confused and utterly bewildered Emberpaw to Firestar's den.

"Firestar? Are you in there?" Cinderpelt called out.

"Come in, Cinderpelt." A deep voice with a slight purr in it came out from the inside of the den.

"Come on!" Cinderpelt said as she tried to push Emberpaw into the den.

"Why what a pleasant surprise, Cinderpelt. And who might this be?" A very large tom with red fiery hair was speaking to Cinderpelt, who seemed miniature compared to him. geez! This guy is HUGE!!! He is like a lion with a mane!

"This is Ember-well if she stays here- Emberpaw. She was the one Mousefur and Thornpaw found in the brambles last night." Cinderpelt was talking to him as though she were talking to someone her size or smaller.

"I can see why she is called Emberpaw, but is that just her name as long as she's here? What is your real name?" The red ball of fur was talking awfully loud, but Emberpaw didn't mind...for some reason it seemed somehow familiar. Why do I feel like someone I knew used to speak very loudly? Ah well...Wow. If it weren't for the fact that he was talking, I would think he was a hair ball!, and a big one at that!

"She d-"

"I don't know who I am, where I came from, or where I belong. Sorry, Cinderpelt, I figured it was time I said something." Emberpaw apologized while Firestar contemplated what she had said.

"It's fine, don't you worry about it, Emberpaw." Cinderpelt said gently.

"Emberpaw?"

"Yes, Firestar?"

"I have decided to let you stay. You will be trained in the way of the forest cats. If you go outside, stand in the middle of the clearing and wait. I will start a clan meeting, and we will do all that is necessary." Firestar said , "Now then you are allowed to go , but I would prefer you to stay in the camp and with the clan. I am almost positive that you will fit right in after your ceremony."

"Thank you, Firestar!!!" Cried the tiny cat.

"You're welcome. Now then, remember, stand in the middle of the clearing and wait for a few minutes. You might even make a new friend while you are there." Firestar said with an edge to his voice that Emberpaw took to mean 'leave my den now please'.

As she was walking out into the clearing, she saw a few of cats her age scuffling in the middle of the clearing. She walked over to say hi, when she was intercepted by a tom her age.

"Hi, I'm Thornpaw, and you are?" said the tom.

"Thornpaw, right? Where have I heard that name before...Oh yeah! You were the one who found me, right? Thank you, I don't know what might have happened if I hadn't been brought here!" Said Emberpaw, "You wanted to know my name. My name, since I'm staying here, and this is only if Firestar does the little ceremony thingy he was talking about. My name is going to be Emberpaw."

A/N What did you guys think? I don't know if it was a good chapter, so you'll just have to review and let me know. I'm going to keep on writing, so wait until I add on, k?
