Hezzo! Sorry about the long wait, I had the accursed writer's block. But now I'm better! So, enjoy!

When Icepaw and I had made our way into the hollow, what I beheld amazed me. It was even more wonderful then the book described! There was Firestar, the great leader, eating with

Brambleclaw, the deputy, and his other senior warriors. There was Brackenfur! And Sandstorm! It was almost too much to take in. "Icepaw," Whitewing, Icepaw's mentor padded up,

"Who is this?" She indicated to me. I shifted from paw-to-paw nervously. "I'm… Kat." The other two she-cats looked at me funny, "What kind of queen names her kit that?" This made me

even more nervous. "Why don't you just have Firestar know I'm here, and I'll tell the whole Clan at once." Icepaw shrugged, "Whatever." As she turned to walk away, I stuck my tongue

out at her. But I followed her to the orange leader nonetheless. Firestar almost immediately understood the problem. "Another rouge, eh?" He meowed. "This is Kat," Icepaw said, "She

wants to join the Clan. She'll tell her story on top of Highledge." Before you could say 'mouse', I was on Highledge itself, with all of ThunderClan below me. I introduced myself, then began

the lie I had made up while walking with Icepaw. "My mother was sort of a rogue, but never a real one. She ate food the Twolegs brought out. But she wasn't a kittypet either. She told

stories to my littermates and me about the Clans. But she never gave us names because we were always by her side. One night, the Twolegs took my brother, sister, and I to a Twoleg

nest that had other cats, and dogs." I shivered to add effect. "Then, Twoleg mates and their kits came, and after looking carried me out of the nest, and into their monster. The female kit

called me Kat for humor, Kat the cat. I've lived in their nest until today, when I ran away." I finished. Firestar stepped forward, "Well, your welcome here, but you need a Clan name. How

old are you exactly?"

"About 8 moons." I kinda guessed on that one, but it seemed to fit. "Then until you have received your warrior name, you shall be known as Sunpaw, in honor of your blazing yellow

stripes. Brackenfur, now that Hollyleaf is a warrior, you are free for an apprentice. You will be Sunpaw's mentor." Brackenfur bounded up Highledge and we touched noses. Icepaw started

chanting, "Sunpaw! Sunpaw!" And the rest of the Clan joined in. I beamed, for I was part of ThunderClan.
