Hey peeps!

Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and reviews. It makes ideas come so much better, and it helps see different points of view! I have the poll up, so go ahead and vote!

RECAP: When Whitekit's wound heals, she goes to Junglestar to tell her she can go back home. Junglestar doesn't let her so Whitekit spends her kithood in Treeclan with the other kits. When Whitepaw gets Jaygleam as a mentor they go on a patrol where they find Tanglestar leading a patrol. Jay and Tangle fight a little but Whitepaw doesn't know who to go to. Then Shine and her rogue group comes and captures her, while Shine renames her Solomon. Now Whitepaw/Solomon finds a 'friend' who gets her in trouble for trying to escape.

Shine pushes me cruelly back to camp, while I whimpered.

"Cats! I have an announcement!" Shine hollered. All of the cats instantly came to Shine.

"Solomon here, tried to escape! And we know what we do with cats that try to escape. We hurt them!" Shine called.

(Okay, I feel VERY ruthless here. Like seriously, what was I thinking?!)

"Fang! Get over here. Hold her down."

I was shoved down and held by Fang. I closed my eyes and started crying silently. I felt my ear being ripped off, then nothing. I opened one eye.

Shine was looking at me, her eyes in fear. Fang left his grip, and everyone looked at me. I stood up. What was so scary? I looked at my paws. They were black. And my fur was red. That's something different.

Then I got it. I was Solomon. Not Whitepaw. Whitepaw was too nice. Solomon.

"What?" I said. My voice was different. It felt older, mature, and wise. No. I was Whitepaw. I looked at my paws. White. Hmm. I was Solomon? Or Whitepaw? Maybe Solomon was good for now, until I escape. My paws were black again. One thing was the same though. My ear was ripped off.

"DEMON!" someone shrieked.

"Wow. I'm just Solomon, who you wanted me to be," I said. This would be fun…

Shine looked at me. I stood tall above her. Everyone ran away, while Shine just stood, frozen in fear. I felt kinda bad. I am Whitepaw I told myself, and I shrunk.

"Shine. I didn't know I could do this. I'm a little freaked out. But you don't touch me if I don't hurt you," I told her. She just nodded.

I opened my eyes. I was lying in the dirt patch. I looked at my paws. White. I was Solomon, I told myself. Paws are still white. Great. It was all a dream. I felt my ear. Ripped, not torn off. At least I didn't get in trouble for trying to escape.

I yawned and saw Shine quietly walk into the dark night, looking behind her, worriedly. I stood up and started stalking her. Why would the leader be scared?

"Scar?" she whispered.

"Shine," A giant cat walked out from the shadows, smiling with bloody teeth.

"How yah doing?"

Something clicked in Shine's eyes.

"I will kill you!" Shine hissed, jumping at Scar. Scar put his giant paw on her, pushing her down to the ground gently. Shine squirmed for a while, then her eyes clicked back to normal.

"It's getting worse, isn't it?" she asked. "Yeah," Scar answered. "What about that new kit you brought in?"

"I feel she can give me a sense of security. Even though she is scared of me, she will help me get through this, thing."

"Better than having her hunt. Awful hunter. Laughable even."

"Well she is a kit…"

I had heard enough. I walked back to my little dirt patch, but I stepped on a dead leaf.

"Who's there?!" Scar called. I felt I would be caught anyway this went, so I crawled to Shine and Scar, ears flattened.

"Whitepaw…" Shine breathed. She didn't call me Solomon! That was a step up.

"How much did you hear?" Scar his deep voice almost to a stutter.

"Everything," I whispered.

"Oh," Shine said.

"Sorry,"

"Ah, don't worry about it. You would have found out anyways."

"How will I help you?" I said. Shine smiled. We had a long way to go, especially for me, with our relationship. But I didn't plan to escape, yet.

*Three Moons Later*

I sat with Shine. It had been a long time since I had been with the clans, but today was different. Shine told me that I could leave, to the clans. We had grown very close together, but this was not my home. The only thing that I wasn't sure was which clan to go to. I had made my choice though.

"I know your choice is a good one, Whitepaw. You have helped me so much through the three moons. You may not have fit perfectly with us, but you have a true courageous heart," Shine told me, her eyes watering. I had grown up with her, then we go our separate parts.

"I love you Shine."

"You too, Whitepaw."

I ran out of the forest. I turned to the field, to my birth clan. Treeclan had been so welcome to me, but I had unfinished business in Lightningclan. I sprinted my heart out, for this was the run of my life. At last, I smelt the cat scent. This was it. The first cat that saw me was Leopard…paw now. Her eyes were wide at me. She ran into a den, and a lot of cats came out. Looks like my story really came around. Tanglestar came out to find out what all the excitement was.

"What happened to you?" Leopardpaw asked, the first one to speak.

"I…" I couldn't find the words. I must've looked so odd. I grew a whole lot too, my paws bloody from battle practice, and my pelt stained red in spots.

"What did Shine do to you?" Branchpaw queried, his jaw wide.

"Shine isn't that bad…" I started. Cats started snickering.

"Don't stand up to her!" one said. Everyone was talking now.

"ENOUGH!" Tanglestar shouted. "We are going to the gathering. Whitepaw will be coming with, as well as everyone else who was chosen."

Cat who were going to the gathering started grouping up. I stood up and walked towards Blacksky. I didn't really quite get to know Lightningclan before I was tricked, so I suppose this was my only option. We all walked to a crooked tree, the perfect space for the two leaders.

Treeclan was already there, and started jogging towards their Lightningclan friends. I thought I saw Sprucepaw, so I ran over to him.

"Hey Sprucepaw," I whispered in his ear as he was talking to one of his friends.

He turned around, confused. Then he got it, as I smiled at him. Oops, my teeth were probably bloody. Oh well.

"Whitepaw!" He shouted loudly. All the cats stopped and looked at Sprucepaw and me.

"Hi," I said sheepishly. I looked around for a while, then found who I was looking for. Jaygleam stood, giving me a proud smile.

"Attention, Treeclan and Lightningclan cats. If it is okay with Junglestar, after we make our announcements, I would like to invite Whitepaw up here to explain her journey," Tanglestar announced. Junglestar nodded at her.

"Lightningclan is doing well. Plenty of prey has been caught at the end of leaf-bare."

"Treeclan is also doing very well. The squirrels have been hopping back into the trees, so this season will do us well."

The cats started murmuring again. It was my time to hop up, and I was nervous. The leaders nodded at me, and Sprucepaw shoved me softly. I walked up, and started climbing the tree.

I was surprised at my natural ability to climb trees. I thought that was a Treeclan skill, not a Lightningclan one…

I sat next to Junglestar, and let my story pour out.

From Badgernose tricking me into going into Treeclan (She was quite embarrassed, to my delight). To Shine becoming a torturous villain, to a good friend. I even told them about my dream, where they laughed at a little bit at, but all in good humor. When I finished, I jumped down and smiled. It had been easier than I thought to express my story.

We all walked back to camp, but before I could go get moss to make a den, Tanglestar hopped on the Strike-Tree.

"My cats, I know it is late, but I have a very important announcement, long overdue. Whitepaw, please come up here," Tanglestar hollered to the sleepy clan.

I walked up, a little surprised. What was so important about me?

"Pantherstreak. It has been a while. I would like you to mentor Whitepaw."

I walked over to touch noses with him. It was kinda awkward. I left him to get some spare moss from Blacksky's den for mine. I didn't talk to him at all.

I choose my den spot next to some older apprentices. I finally laid down, and fell into a deep sleep…

"Wake up!" Leopardpaw whispered loudly in my ear.

"Why?" I yawned.

"Hunting with our mentors, just me and you."

"Fine…" I got up and stretched, walking with Leopardpaw. When I was with Shine, we never got up this early.

All four of us started walking into the moor. I saw a rabbit.

"I'll get this one," I whispered to them. I started stalking slowly. The rabbit saw me and started running away. I sprinted after it, but I was clumsy, and not very fast. The rabbit easily outran me.

"Better luck next time," Pantherstreak told me, disappointment in his mew.

I decided to walk over to the bushes. I smelt a mouse, so I started stalking, and leaped onto it, and cracked its neck. I was proud of myself. I went to show it to the mentors and Leopardpaw. Leopardpaw was the first to speak.

"We don't eat mice!" She burst out.

"Well, why not?! It's food!" I told her.

"Whitepaw, we just don't. We have the moor to hunt rabbits," Pantherstreak explained.

"Oh."

"Hey, why don't we do battle practice instead?" Silverglimmer asked, whose name I recently learned.

We all headed over to the training area, where older apprentices were learning.

"Let's watch for a minute, to see what moves they're working on," Silverglimmer told us.

I watched the apprentices. I was so bored. They were working on moves I had learned moons ago! I held my tongue until they were done. Leopardpaw and I walked in.

"Remember, claws sheathed!" Pantherstreak hollered.

Oh. Right. Friendly fight practices happened here.

"You're going down," Leopardpaw told me. I smiled. She didn't know how wrong she was.

Leopardpaw attacked quickly. I dodged and leaped over her. Leopardpaw dodged as I landing on the side of her. From then I slammed into her flank, holding her down with one paw. She went limp, but I held on.

"Who's going down?" I asked her innocently. She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Well done Whitepaw!" Pantherstreak praised me. I saw the older apprentices who had stuck around looking at me with wide eyes.

I was getting my place back in Lightningclan.

As we wrap it up, I felt good about myself :P.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do you guys think I should write in first person (what I've been writing in), second person (example: You walk up the tree. It felt nice to have wind blow through your whiskers), or third person (example: "Wow, the wind flew through my whiskers!" Whitepaw said. She felt so good.)? I'm not sure which one to do!

PEACE OUT!
