Goddess could not believe their expressions. Fallenstar looked a bit shocked, relieved, surprised, excited, adoring, etc, etc, and the she-cat's were pretty much the opposite-except maybe the shocked bit. "Fallenstar!" she cried, running towards him and touching noses. "I came." The black tom blinked away a tear and took a deep breath of her scent.

"I knew you would."

It was sheer bliss, and then the other cat ruined it.

"Um, Hello? I'm here if you haven't noticed!" she hissed annoyingly.

"I was trying to forget." Mumbled Fallenstar, "Goddess, this is Adderblood, my sister." Adderblood sniffed hautingly. "Adderblood, this is Goddess, the she-cat I was telling you about."

"The kittypet." She muttered, ignoring Goddess. "Now, brother dear, we must go back to camp before everyone sees me talking to a kittypet-intruder." She said the last words despisingly and Goddess flinched. She hadn't expected the clan cats to be so rude to her-let alone Fallenstar's own sister. The red she-cat walked away stiffly, head and tail high.

"Just ignore her, my sweet." Fallenstar whispered, intertwining his tail with hers. "How long have you been here?" he asked, his black eyes worried.

"Oh, not too long. Just a couple of days. I waited for you, but you never came out until today." The tom looked away angrily.

"I knew it! I told my sister over and over but she kept telling me to do something in camp so that I wouldn't go looking for you. I could tell your scent from a lake away, but she just told me that it was the flowers blossoming in green-leaf, but I knew." Goddess smiled. It was good to be back here with Fallenstar, feeling like she belonged.

"All cats old enough catch their own prey, join me beneath the High-stone!" Goddess smiled sweetly as all the Shadowclan cats made their way over to where Fallenstar was speaking. She was hidden in the shadow of his cave, unseen to the warriors-yet. "Today we have a new cat joining us." Gasps and mutters filled the clearing. "Quiet please. Okay, many moons ago some of you may recall a fight with Riverclan over borders, and I had to escort a kittypet back to her home?" two cats nodded and others gazed around curiously. "Well, this kittypet has come back to become a warrior of Shadowclan."

"That's outrageous!"

"Why don't we just hire the whole neighbourhood?"

"A kittypet!"

"She'll never be a warrior!" Goddess flinched at that comment and shrunk back further.

"QUIET!" This time it was a siamese speaking, her cold blue eyes glaring at the cats. "I was there, all those moons ago, and I have seen the kittypet." Now she had everyone's attention. "The she-cat that goes by the name 'Goddess' would make a great asset to Shadowclan if you'll only welcome her with open paws." She had managed to persuade a few cats, just by saying that. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to fit in?

"Thankyou, Shadedlight. Now, Goddess, will you please step forward." Meowed Fallenstar warmly. She did so, and padded next to him. Below her, all of Shadowclan was staring at her in awe. The sunlight danced in her silvery-gold fur and her eyes sparkled like emeralds. "Will you let her join us?" he asked the clan. Nearly every one of them nodded-all of the toms and most of the she-cats. A little white kit padded up to the boulder they were standing on.

"I want to be like you when I get bigger." She mewed before her mother, a black and white queen, swept her away. Goddess chuckled quietly.

"Then it is decided. Goddess will stay with our clan!" yowls of approval came up like a blasting wind in Goddess' ears. "First I'll introduce you to some of our warriors."

xXxXxXx

Fallenstar and Goddess made their way through camp, stopping at each den to greet the Shadowclan warriors. Now they were at the queens' den or nursery and Goddess eagerly stuck her head inside. Fallenstar pointed to a plump black queen with amber eyes. "That's Shadowclaw, who's expecting Hollowheart's kits." The queen dipped her head in greeting. Two other queens were in the nursery, both with kits. "Goddess, this is Specklefur and Petalspots, with their kits." Specklefur was a tortoiseshell with green eyes and Petalspots was a small black and white queen with blue eyes. Two kits bounded over to her, one brown and the other tortoiseshell like Specklefur.

"I'm Maplekit!" cried the brown she-kit, "And this is my sister, Leafkit!" Goddess smiled as the kits tackled eachother. Three more came from Petalspots, who was nudging them closer.

"Go on, don't be shy." She ushered kindly. "Goddess is a nice cat." The kits, who looked maybe a moon younger than Specklefur's, slowly padded up to her. Goddess could tell she would get to like Petalspots. The white kit that had stepped forward earlier was the first to speak.

"I-I'm Whitekit." She mewed shyly, her blue eyes embarassed. Her black brother stepped forward.

"Um…I-my name's Nightkit, and this is Lightkit my sister." He meowed, looking at the sandy-coloured she-kit beside him.

"Nice to meet you, Specklefur, Petalspots, Maplekit, Leafkit, Whitekit, Nightkit and Lightkit." She was almost breathless after trying to remember all their names. How was she supposed to remember a whole clan's if this was just the nursery?

"See, we rhyme!" cried Lightkit, all trace of shyness gone. Whitekit turned around and pounced onto her back and Nightkit quickly joined in. Goddess chuckled. Kits.

"Please excuse my kits, Goddess, they're still naughty." Petalspots meowed, trying to break up their play-fight.

"They're fine, beautiful kits, Petalspots, you should be proud." The queen looked up, surprised at the compliment and smiled back at her.

"Thankyou!"

Fallenstar led the newcomer back out, and they headed to the apprentice's den. It was almost dusk so most of the warriors had returned. A pretty, pale grey she-cat stepped out of he den and came nose-to-nose with Goddess, who quickly pulled back.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" she apologized but the apprentice just shook her little head.

"No, no, I'm fine. You must be Goddess! I'm Galepaw. I was out with Whitefern when you were introduced." A black tom stuck his head out the opening.

"Who's this, Galepaw?" he asked, motioning to Goddess.

"Viperpaw, this is Goddess. Goddess, this is Viperpaw." The two cats nodded. Goddess could not help but notice the glimmer of interest in the black tom's grey eyes. She tried to forget as Fallenstar led her to the elder's den. Iside the shadowy haven, there were four aged cats.

"Hello, everyone. This is Goddess, our new clanmate." The elders mumbled a gruff greeting. "Goddess, these are the Shadowclan elders. We must pay them highest respect because they have earnt it through their whole lives of being a Shadowclan warrior. That's Creekbed," he meowed pointing with his tail to a brown tom. "That's Hollythorn and that's Deerhoof and Willowsong." He concluded, pointing to tortoiseshell, brown tabby and grey elders.

"Hello." She meowed nervously under the stares of the four cats. Fallenstar smiled.

"Maybe they can tell you a few clan legends some time, but it's getting late and I still have to show you Peaceheart, our medicine cat." Goddess nodded a good-bye to the elders bfore popping back out into the clearing. She was taken to a little place between a fallen tree and boulder, where the scent of herbs was strongest.

"Is this the medicine cats den?" she asked curiously, sticking her head inside.

"Yeah, Peaceheart should be around here somewhere. Peaceheart! Are you here?" he yowled, and a pale grey she-cat snuck out from some shady bushes.

"Yes, Fallenstar, I am. What can I do for you?" The medicine cat was flecked with darker shades and her eyes glowed a luminous blue. If she were not a medicine cat, she would probably already have six mate proposals.

"I've just come to introduce you to Goddess." The she-cat smiled, her sky-coloured eyes twinkling.

"Fallenstar's probably already told you who I am, but just incase, I'm Peaceheart. I don't normally agree with strangers joining clans, but I like you for some reason. I hope you'll stay with us, Fallenstar rarely gets close to other she-cats." She added quietly, but Fallenstar wasn't paying attention.

"Peaceheart," he called from her den, "What's wrong with Birdfoot?" The grey cat shook her head angrily.

"The clumsy furball! He was bouncing around like a psychotic squirrel and jumped right into a patch of nettles!" A small whimper came from the crevice beside her den.

"I wasn't trying to hurt myself…" Peaceheart ignored the remark.

"Anyway, he'll be alright. In fact, I think he'll be alright to go back now." She meowed padding up to the yellow tom that had just appeared from the crevice, pretending to limp. "Stop limping you silly kit! It'll all be healed by now; your just acting." The tom immediately stopped, and for the first time noticed Goddess sitting there.

"Who're you?" Fallenstar stepped beside her.

"This is our newest member, Birdfoot. Her name's Goddess." The tom nodded quickly, embarassed that he'd acted so weak in front of a she-cat. "Go on, go do something useful now that you're healed." The warrior nodded again, and ran back through the stony tunnel. "Yeah, that's Birdfoot. He's a new warrior, and a real pain. Always knocking into this, or bumping into that." Goddess chuckled.

"I bet you were like that as a new warrior." She whispered, flicking him with her tail. Fallenstar was about to reply but was interupted as Goddess started speaking again. "Bye, Peaceheart! Fallenstar's going to show me my den now, aren't you?" The black tom growled sarcasticly.

"No way-your sleeping outiside!" he hissed flicking her back and ducking under her sheathed paw. "Okay, okay! Come on."
