"Attack!"

Hawkkit jolted awake. She Looked around in confusion, she saw movement outside of the den and looked outside. Strange cats were racing in everywhere, fast as lightning. I tilted my head in confusion.

Then I felt someone pick me up by the scruff and hide me under our moss bed. Squirrelflight gave me a reassuring look. I smiled slightly until a huge tom leapt in, head swinging side to side looking for a kit.

I turned around, I saw an evil smile on Firekits face. He still hates me. I thought, but at the same time a paw slammed into my back, shoving me out from under the moss. I gasped and the toms blue eyes landed on me.

He lunged at me, grabbing me by the scruff and running.

"Hawkkit!"

I saw Bramblestar racing after the tom, but he was too fast. I squirmed, trying to make him drop me, then I remembered how the apprentices would go limp to trick each other. I went limp, hoping he would think I was dead or something.

"Final,y giving up huh? That's a good kit." He said, loosening his grip. I yanked away, screeching slightly as some fur was ripped from my neck. I landed on all four paws, takin off in a random direction, thinking it was the way to camp. I didn't dare turn around to see if he was giving chase.

I burst through a clearing, full of large strange boxes with designs on them. I continued running, I closed my eyes in exhaustion. But in that very moment I slammed into something, blacking out.

I awoke, I was lying by a dirty green box. Well I'm definetly not dead. I thought. Licking my paw, I didn't realise that there was a cat watching me from the other side of the box. I remembered what had happened and looked around, finally noticing the cat. I leapt out of my skin and clawed at him.

"Relax, relax. I will not hurt a kit." He said, stepping out. He was a dark grey with white hindquarters, tail, ears and patches around the eyes, he also had yellow eyes.

"Who are you!" I hissed, trying not to show my fear.

"I, am Owl. An ally cat." He said, looking me over. "Who are you?'

"Why should I tell you! Eh who cares, Ill claw you to death anyway."

"Feisty eh?" He said, inching closer. I looked around. "Don't worry, I wont hurt you."

"How would I know that? You could be lying." I snapped.

"Or I could be not." He retorted. True. I thought. I decided to trust him.

"Okay, my name is Hawkkit." He put on a surprised face.

"Your from the clans?" He asked.

"So! What does it matter?"

He didn't respond instead he started walking, flicking his tail in a gesture for me to follow. He lead me to a place with 3 boxes, all with feathers with the end bit off so they're all soft. I looked over them when he said, "you sleep in this one." He said, pointing to a box at the left end with blue-jay feathers. "I will teach you to hunt and fight tomorrow. I began to feel like I was being apprenticed, making me feel excited. I was only 4 moons old and I'm gonna learn to hunt and fight!

I curled up in a ball and fell asleep, excited for the next day. I couldn't sleep though, I stared at the sky, watching the stars twinkle until I fell asleep.

I felt something poking me as I awoke, I opened one eye and looked up, seeing Owl, staring down at me. "Good morning, i got some food." He said, getting up and flicking his tail. He walked towards a small wooden box. I tilted my head in confusion as he leaned down and reached inside, pulling out a fresh-looking sparrow. "Well? Arentcha hungry?"

I smiled happily and bounced towards the sparrow. Owl nodded at me as if to say, 'Ladies first!' I leaned down and took a bite, it was delicious. Owl grinned. "Waddya think?" He asked.

"I think... I think its delicious!" I purred. I took another bite just as he leaned in and began eating himself. Maybe I can trust this cat...
