I watched silently as the other cats came to Highrock. The kittypet looked nervous with all these strangers sitting around him, and frankly, I don't blame him...or her.

The one thing I don't know is if this kittypet is a tom or a she-cat

Soon, everyone had sat still and soon, Bluestar started.

"Thunderclan needs more warriors." she began. "Never before have we had so few apprentice's training."

"That's where we come in,Fox" Snowkit said as she got ready to get up.

"It has been decided that Thunderclan will take an outsider to train as a warrior." Bluestar stated.I felt a ripple of shock run through everyone. Words of doubt and surprise echoed into my ears. I looked at Snowkit, who looked just as surprised as me.

So that's why this kittypet is here, because Bluestar wants HIM to be a warrior...But, what about me and Snowkit? We have equal or even more right than that KITTYPET to be apprentices, let alone warriors.

My trail of thought was cut short by Bluestar's yowl, which also silenced the whispers.

"I have found a cat who is willing to become an apprentice of Thunderclan."

"Lucky to become an apprentice." a familiar voice said. I spun around to see that Longtail, who had probably said it, who was staring defiantly at Bluestar.I wasn't sure if Bluestar had heard the comment because she either didn't or was just ignoring Longtail.

"What about us?" I heard Snowkit say, probably more to herself than to anyone else. I was thinking the same just like Longtail, if Bluestar heard her comment, she didn't care.

"Lionheart and Whitestorm have met this young cat and they agree with me that we should train him with the other apprentices." Bluestar continued. I looked at the kittypet and apparently, so had everyone else since I could feel the fear drifting off his fur. Suddenly,an uproar of questions and protests came from everyone. Words of denial, anger, curiosity and complaining filled the morning air.

"Where does he come from?"

"Which clan does he belong to?"

"What a strange scent he carries. That's not the scent of any clan I know."

Then suddenly, Longtail finally pointed the obvious out.

"Look at his collar, he's a kittypet. Once a kittypet, always a kittypet. The Clan needs wild born warriors to defend it, not another soft mouth to feed."
I continued to listen to Longtail, but couldn't help to notice that something was missing. I spun around and soon saw that Dawnflower was missing. I turned back around and tried to locate her in the sea of cats. I didn't have much luck until I finally saw her next to Whitestorm, talking quietly to him. I tried to listen, but Longtail's loud yowls stopped my efforts.

"Your collar is the mark of the Twolegs, and that noisy jingling will make you a poor hunter at best. It might even bring the Twolegs here, at worst, looking for their poor, lost kittypet with his pitiful tinkling." He continued. Soon, everyone yowled in agreement. I didn't say anything because now my only interest is his reaction.

All right, you've been embarrassed and harassed in front of everyone, so what are you going to do, kittypet?

I soon noticed Lionheart bending over and whispering something in the kittypet's ear. My attention was soon brought to Longtail's preaching of the negatives of the kittypet.

"The noise of your treacherous bell will alert our enemies,even if your Twoleg stench doesn't do that first."

Suddenly, I saw the kittypet crouch down, almost as if he was going to attack Longtail.

He's insane

But it was too late, the kittypet pounced. Longtail didn't see the attack coming and soon staggered sideways and lost his footing on the hard- baked earth. I watched as the two cats were suddenly locked in a screaming, writhing tussle. The other cats soon had too jump out of the way to avoid being sucked in. Soon, Longtail got his teeth in the collar and began to tug with all his might. The kittypet soon began to struggle, but soon began to pull away from Longtail. Then, the collar snapped and hung from Longtail's mouth. Soon, their injuries were obvious. The kittypet had a cut above his eye. One of Longtail's ears was badly torn at the tip. Clumps of fur hung from both of their pelts. They stared at each other, since neithers hostility was at rest. Bluestar immediately jumped down from Highrock and took the collar from Longtail and placed it on the ground in front of her.

"The newcomer has lost his Twoleg collar in a battle for his honor. Starclan has spoken their approval- this cat has been released from the hold of his Twoleg owners, and is free to join Thunderclan as an apprentice."Bluestar meowed

Even if he didn't get in the fight, the collar would have been taken off if he joined the Clan...but still, it was a good way to get it off. Nice job, kittypet.

The kittypet soon nodded his approval and stepped into a shaft of sunshine. His orange fur shined and he held his head high. Now, no one said anything for he had won his honor. Bluestar walked up to the kittypet and placed the collar in front of him. She touched his ear with her nose. She whispered something into his ear and her eyes flashed briefly.

Whatever she said to him, must have a deeper meaning than he understands.

She soon turned to the clan.

'From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, this apprentice will be known as Firepaw, in honor of his flame-colored pelt." Bluestar announced. Firepaw soon spun around and kicked dirt over the collar, burying it and his kittypet past. Everyone soon broke into groups and began murmuring excitedly. Blustar began to make her way to her den, but I got up and blocked her path.

"Hey Bluestar...When is Me and Snowkit's apprentice ceremony? After all, we do turn six moons old today." I asked, looking up at her. I noticed a little hint of surprise in her eyes, but it soon faded.

"Tomorrow." She answered calmly

"WHAT!" I yowled. I knew that everyone had heard me and that I was making a scene, but that didn't concern me.

"What do you mean it's tomorrow? You take the time to make a damn kittypet an apprentice, but not your own flesh and blood...and Snowkit." I finished. I listened to the whispers of surprise in the crowd. I looked back up to see that Bluestar's expression hadn't changed.

"Foxkit, clearly if you are going to defy me like this, than what is the reason to make you an apprentice? Keep this up and you'll stay a kit forever." Bluestar said as she walked around me.

This isn't fair! I deserve to be an apprentice and so does Snowkit. This is ridiculous. Why won't she listen to reason?

"Well, if you aren't going to initiate me, you can at least initiate Snowkit."I I wasn't going to be an apprentice, at least Snowkit should.

"No,Foxkit." I heard Snowkit say as she walked up to me."If we're going to be apprentices, I'd rather be initiated on the same day as you. Otherwise, it won't be fun." Snowkit turned to Bluestar.
"We'll wait,Bluestar...but, when we become apprentices, we'll be the best."Snowkit finished. I was quite surprised by Snowkit's generosity of wanting to become apprenticed on the same day as me. Just as Bluestar was about to answer when Smallear let out a warning yowl. Everyone turned to see Ravenpaw, his eyes filled with fear, his coat ruffled, one of his front legs bleeding and panting heavily. Bluestar soon stepped out of the crowd.

"Ravenpaw?" she said calmly. Everyone gathered their attention to Ravenpaw as he struggled to remain standing. He remained silent, probably because he may have been to much in shock or scaared to speak.

"What has happened?...Speak, Ravenpaw." Bluestar continued as I pushed my way through the crowd to get a better look. Ravenpaw was still struggling for breath. The ground around him turned red from blood. Somehow, he found enough strength to haul himself up onto Highrock next to Bluestar, where he soon sat down. Everyone turned toward him, eager to hear the news.

Something tells me that something bad had happened

"Redtail is dead." Ravenpaw was finally able to say as shocked yowls echoed through the clan and out into the forest.

Knew it

Me: Well, that's Ch.3.
Fox: Shouldn't we mention that after Bluestar gave Firepaw his name, everyone was talking to him?
Me:maybe, but this was from your point of view and you didn't care for that
Fox: True,true
Me: Anyway, that's it. I own nothing but the OC's and the plot, everything else belongs to Erin Hunter...Oh, I have little profiles for my OCs, so if you want, you can look at those.
Fox: But don't those have spoilers?
Me: You're asking a lot of questions here, aren't ya?
Fox:...
Me: Anyway, yes, there are spoilers, but if you don't care for spoilers, than go ahead and look.
Fox: In the next Chapter, Snowkit and I try to get through the rest of the day without being too depressed.
Me: And we meet Foxkit's dad
Fox:(sarcastically) Oh... I can't wait
Me: Bye and don't forget to review :)
