Ok here is chapter 1. Sorry if it's too short . I'll try to make the next one longer. I'm currently re-writing the second chapter as well. Please enjoy.

Chapter 1

Glancing at both sides, a small smirk spreads across his face as a tabby cat jumps through the cat flap. The sounds of birds chirping and bees buzzing flood his ears as he takes a tentative step outside his nest.

A smile spreads as he feels the cool earth beneath his pads; his steady trot becomes a fast run as he rushes through the pine trees as the wind buffets his face. A tingle of excitement and adrenaline rushes through his body as he dashes through the woods with his paws scraping the earth beneath his paws.

He stops abruptly; a yowl could be heard coming up from behind him. He turns around and quickly searches through the pines, with his eyes, for the creature that made the sound. His stomach clenches and a chill runs down his spine as the spits and hisses of angry cats rush his way.

Fast blurs of fur rush through the pines, seemingly coming from everywhere. He starts getting nervous, feeling his heartbeat accelerate as a something knocks him off his paws.

Slashing claws, snapping teeth. The small tabby felt the collar around his neck brake as a claw scored dangerously near to his throat. He gets up again and starts dashing away quickly, his heart beating as fast as a woodpecker.

A change of scenery. He falls to the ground with a thud, his chest heaving from all the running. The small tabby manages to calm down. He gets up and shakes his fur. Scanning the place clearly, he notices birds chirping and squirrels scavenging for nuts. But wait! This place looked different from the last one, he noticed.

He had gotten away from the pine woods and was now on a strange territory, this was bad. He shuffled his paws nervously, glancing around at the forest that stretched far and wide. He sighed in relief; it looked like they weren't chasing him again…

Wolfpaw blinked his eyes open. It was just a dream, he sighed. Who was that cat?

He glanced outside and saw how the warriors were carrying out with their duties. He sighed, padding out of the den. He glanced around for his mentor, his dream now on the back of his mind.

Great, he's not here, he thought. Looks like I'll have to wait for him…no, I'll just go out by myself!

He made his way over to the entrance, a cool breeze rushed through his fur, making him shiver slightly. He felt the cool earth beneath his pads as he began padding out into the forest. He glanced around at the big trees that stretched far out the territory; he couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

He closed his eyes and let the sounds and scents of the forest sweep over him. He exhaled softly, opening his bright blue eyes again. He trotted happily through the forest, walking mindlessly towards the ShadowClan border without noticing.

He glanced over at the stream that was close to the border. He strained his eyes as he noticed a lump of fur lying limply on the edge of the stream. His dream flashed through his mind again. His eyes widened and he quickly rushed towards it. He looked around the body for a moment, looking to see if he was still alive.

"Hey, dude, wake up." Wolfpaw mewed, prodding the body on the side. He felt it twitch and stir.

The cat's head snapped up in an instant and his eyes flashed open to reveal a piercing amber color. The tabby got to his paws in a flash. "Who're you?" he hissed, his back arching threateningly. "I saw you-" The tabby leaped at Wolfpaw before he could explain, he slashed him on the face and bit him on a paw.

Wolfpaw growled and kicked the cat off him; he batted his paw hard on his face and pinned him down. "Just listen to me!" he yowled and felt the tabby squirm under his grasp. "Why were you fainted on our territory?"

The tabby grunted as he managed to wriggle from under the black and white apprentice. He whipped to his paws and shot away like a scared rabbit. Wolfpaw hissed in frustration and dashed after him.

Thud! Wolfpaw bumped into the cat almost instantly. He had stopped running. He glanced up and noticed his mentor, Blazeheart, standing in the way of the scared cat. "You are not from these parts" the ginger tom's voice echoed through the forest, making the tabby shiver.

"I-i-i-" The tabby stammered and got interrupted by Blazeheart. "We will take you to camp and let Lightningstar deal with you"

The younger cat gulped, staring at the ginger tom with wide amber eyes. The tabby felt the green eyes of Blazeheart scorching through his fur as they took him to their territory.

Wolfpaw pushed his way through the bramble thicket of the entrance first, the brambles prickling slightly at his black and white pelt.

"Go get Lightningstar," Came Blazeheart's voice from behind him. "Tell him I wish to speak with him."

Wolfpaw nodded and immediately scrambled over to the Highledge and climbed it in a few leaps. "Lightningstar?" he mewed.

"Come in" Came the leader's reply.

Wolfpaw padded inside and, after a few minutes, appeared from inside the leader's den and made his way over to the waiting cats, along with the golden tabby.

Lightningstar sat, his tail curled neatly over his front paws. "What is it that you wish to tell me Blazeheart?" he asked.

"We found this kittypet by the edge of the stream near the ShadowClan border," Blazeheart reported. "So I decided to let you decide on what to do with him."

The golden tabby turned to the small kittypet, who was looking at him with wide amber eyes. "Is that true?"

The small tabby built up his confidence and looked at Lightningstar straight in the eye. "So what if I was," he challenged. "I roam around these parts all the time."

"Then what were you doing collapsed by the stream?" Wolfpaw spoke now, but was silenced by Lightningstar with a flick of his tail. Wolfpaw lashed his tail in annoyance, but knew better than to talk back to his father.

The leader looked back at the tabby tom. "What is your name kittypet?" he asked in a calm, yet firm voice.

"My Housefolk call me Jake" The kittypet mewed. "Jake" Lightningstar repeated his name. "I'll ask again, what were you doing on ThunderClan's territory?"

Jake lashed his tail, feeling irritated. "I already told you," he scoffed. "I hang around here always"

Wolfpaw saw Blazeheart bristle at that comment, but noticed his father silencing him with a sharp stare.

"May I ask where your collar is?" The golden tabby prompted.

"It doesn't concern you where I left it." Jake replied, looking to the side. "I'm getting out of this place."

Wolfpaw saw Jake standing up, ready to leave. Blazeheart stood up abruptly. "You're not going anywh-"

"Blazeheart!" The leader interrupted, staring directly into his deputy's green eyes. "Let the kittypet leave, he is free to do so"

Jake saw, from the corner of his eye, the ginger tom dip his head respectfully at the golden tabby and sit back down. He didn't understand these cats at all; he just wanted to get as far away from them as possible.

Wolfpaw glanced at the tabby as he left through the undergrowth before realization hit him… That was the cat from his dream!

…

Jake looked back at the cats as he retreated from their land. He gave himself a moment to let his racing heart calm down. There was something about this cats that just spiked up his curiosity, he wanted to know more about them.
