Chapter 3

Stormkit wailed out as the fox snapped her tail, grabbing her and lifting her up. A yowl rang out as Lionblaze jumped from the bushes.

"Kitties tink de can stap meh." the fox growled. "Kitties tink wrong! I has tasty kitten snack."

"Noooooo!" Stormkit yowled.

"Tiny kitteh can't stap meh. Fangs eats the tinny kitteh." The fox said.

"Fangs? Your name is Fangs?" Stormkit asked. That earned a scary bounce of a nod.

"Stormkit! Firekit! Adderkit! Bramblekit! Hollykit! Do you 5 promise to learn the warrior code to the best of your abilities and learn the ways of ThunderClan hunting and fighting?" Bramblestar yowled.

"We do!" The five yowled.

"Kittehs tink de can stap meh by makin tiny kitteh warriors!" Fangs snapped.

"Welcome Bramblepaw, my apprentice! Firepaw, mentor of Squirrelflight! Adderpaw, mentor of Foxleap! Hollypaw, mentor of Ivypool! And Stormpaw, mentor of Dovewing!" Bramblestar meowed quickly and the fox turned to run off.

"No! Don't let it take me!" Stormpaw yowled.

"I won't!" A voice sounded above the others.

"Bumblestripe!" Stormpaw yowled.

Bumblestripe raced down towards the fox and new apprentice. Fangs spun on his paws and raced off into the forrest taking a scared Stormpaw with him, leaving Bumblestripe in the dust.

"STORMPAW!" Bumblestripe yowled as he disappeared.

Stormpaw looked up to see only forest. Bouncing and bobbing she watched as billions of trees past by her. Inches from hitting her muzzle, a tree branch broke off as they swept by.

"Tiny kitteh be meh snack. Snack goes to belleh. Maybe Fangs shares tiny kitteh with mate Claws. Claws may be happeh after. Maybe Claws shares with fox pups Kaala and Staar." Fangs said as he troted upstream.

"No! Please! I'll do anything!" Stormpaw wailed out.

Fangs dropped her a good 15 foxlengths from the ThunderClan border on the ShadowClan side.

"Claws! Kaala! Staar! I have dinner!" He called. Slowly 3 females appeared from the bushed.

"Aww no." Claws growled. "Kaala and Staar are befriending is no way they would eat one."

"So what am I supposed to do with te tiny kitteh?" Fangs asked

"Let them play with it. It looks about their age. Fangs, the pups will be 3 moons tomorrow" Claws hissed.

"Excuse me? I am 6 moons!" Stormpaw hissed at the big fox.

"She can understand us?" Claws whispered to Fangs who nodded.

"KITTEH!" Kaala and Staar yowled.

"Over here! I smelt them this way!" A new voice rang out.

"I'll follow you untill I pick up fox scent going the other way"

"HELP MEEE!" Stormpaw yowled. Fangs snarled.

"This way! That was a kit's yowl!" the voice called out. "Call out again kit! We can find you and help!"

"HELP ME!" Stormpaw yowled so loud StarClan could have heard it.

"No Tigerheart, this way!" A cat hissed before jumping into the small clearing.

Stormpaw felt teeth clamp into her back. She felt the warm liquid of her own blood on her fur. Suddenly everything was black.
