Sorry it took so long I messed up a lot
If you review you will get a Firepaw plushie,
Firepaw's POV
Sandfur came into the apprentice den. "Firepaw, I'm taking all the apprentices to the training hollow."
I yawned and slowly walked out of the den. The wolf came in the middle of the night, so most of the Clan was exhausted. "Who else is coming?" I mumbled.
"All the apprentices, Rosefoot, and I." He meowed and walked toward the entrance. "Oh, and Cloudstream is expecting Redfur's kits. Applepaw is coming to the Gathering instead."
"That's wonderful," I meowed and followed Sandfur. "Where is everyone else?" I looked around.
"Snugglepelt thought you should have more sleep, before he left with Hawkstar. So everyone else is at the training hollow." Sandfur answered. I looked at the almost empty fresh kill pile.
"We should hunt on the way there." I suggested, Sandfur just shook his head. He walked out of the brambles that surrounded the camp entrance. I quickly followed, a huge gust of wind stirred as we padded out of the brambles. I noticed a fat juicy squirrel sitting in a high branch. I flicked my tail toward it to show Sandfur. He nodded his head, then went into a hunters crouch.
"That branch is high...too high for a cat to reach." The pale tom meowed. He's just trying to test me, I told myself. I crouched, lowering myself just above the sandy ground. With all my force, I leaped toward the squirrel. The squirrel's eyes widened just before I slammed into the branch. Clawing myself onto the wood, the squirrel started to run away. Luckily, I managed to nip its hind legs. I picked up the dead squirrel in my jaws, and gave a smirk to Sandfur. The senior warrior's eyes lit up as I leaped from the limb.
"That's something special, you probably the best jumper in the clan." Sandfur meowed as I buried the mouse. "We should go, we're late!" He added, as bolted toward the trees. I raced after him, dodging the towering plants.
We soon made it toward the hollow, where Rainpaw was battling Blazepaw. "You're going down!" Blazepaw hissed, and launched himself toward the blue-gray cat. Rainpaw ducked quickly, making Blazepaw trip over his own paws. Rainpaw laughed, and kicked dirt in his grimy face. Rosefoot padded up to Sandfur and I.
"Hello Firepaw and Sandfur." The black she-cat meowed, and then she walked up to Applepaw.
"Have you fought?" I asked. Applepaw shook her head.
"No, winner of this battle verses me." Applepaw boasted. The red streaks prickled up. "Did you hear that?" She asked, and her ears pricked toward a small bush. Rosefoot and Sandfur noticed something too. Rosefoot's one red paw was slighty raised. Blazepaw crept forward, and leaped into the bush.
"Get off!" A young she-cat hissed, and stumbled out of the bush. Blazepaw leaped after pinning the fluffy gray cat down.
"Who are you?" He questioned, his fur bristled.
"I-I'm Misty." She mumbled, Rosefoot pushed Blazepaw aside. She let Misty get back onto her paws. Sandfur stood a mouse-length away from Misty.
"Why are you here?" He questioned.
Misty looked around at us, her eyes where light up with amaze. "Are you wild cats?" She asked
"Why are you here?" Sandfur hissed, I stared at Misty, her collar hung lowly on her neck.
"I was told about these wild cats that live of the forest." She told "I didn't think they where real, so I had to prove they were."
Sandfur's fur relaxed. "She's not a major trespasser, just a lost pet." Rosefoot mumbled.
"Why are you really here?" Sandfur questioned. "You must have a purpose for wanting to see the Clans."
"Clans?" Misty meowed looking puzzled, like any stray kittypet in these forests. Then she quickly shook her head, and took a deep breath. "I want to join the wild cats."
I perched up. "You are a kittypet. You don't have warrior blood, or knowledge of our code." I meowed.
"I know, but I was kinda hoping to join the wild cats, learn their ways and skills. Be one of the wild cats." Misty squeaked, unaware of all of the dangers.
"You must know that the warrior life isn't a game, you just can't quit when you feel like it." Rosefoot meowed.
"Yeah, you have to defend your clan even at the cost of your life." Rainpaw added, as the patrol started to leave toward the camp, with Misty following.
Applepaw shot Misty a glance. "Who said you could come?" she snapped, Misty shrunk down in concern.
"Back off!" I hissed, and leaped between Applepaw and Misty. I turned to Sandfur. "Is Misty coming?"
Sandfur looked at Rosefoot, "It's up to Hawkstar if Misty can join, but she has the spirit of a warrior." Sandfur exclaimed.
"How?" Blazepaw questioned angrily, his ginger fur bristled. "She's a kittypet, she's weak, she doesn't have our warrior blood."
Sandfur rolled his eyes at the ignorant apprentice. "Would any kittypet walk up to a patrol of cats, just to join?"
"No, but-"
"We would be the only clan with Kittypet blood," Applepaw cut off, Rosefoot shook her head.
"We won't be the only clan, do you know who Runningwind is? He used to be a Kittypet. Now he's one of Leopardclan's strongest warriors."
I stared at Rosefoot in disbelief. I knew he was a strong warrior, but I didn't know he was a kittypet.
When we arrived at the camp entrance, I looked back at Misty. "It's ok, just follow me." I meowed gently, the gray cat slowly follow the patrol into the brambles. The sun was still high in the sky, but slightly lower on one side. Misty stayed by my side, as many cats gave her dirty looks. Applepaw, Rainpaw, and Blazepaw went straight to the den, they didn't like Misty very much.
Sandfur, and Rosefoot where talking to Hawkstar, the dark tabby padded over to Misty.
"I've heard a lot about you, young kit." She meowed, "First you trespass, then demand to join."
Misty slightly nodded her head, "When you say it like that it make me sound evil." She joked.
Hawkstar purred in amusement. "You're very brave, kittypet. With some training, you'll make a great warrior."
Misty's eye filled with light, "You mean-"
"Yes." Hawkstar finished, she leaped onto High tree, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here for a clan meeting!" She yowled, and many cats padded toward their leader. Only some of them knew why the meeting was called, but the rest were in for a surprise.
"We have a new-comer!" Hawkstar began, and hisses came from some of the cats. "She has shown much courage wanting to join us, and I believe she has what it takes to do that."
Misty shuffled excitedly in her paws as Hawkstar continued. "Tigerclan's apprentices will become warriors, around the same time. Heartkit and Stormkit will be the only apprentices for a while, if Tigerclan is to stay young we need more warriors." She meowed, the hissing cats stopped to adjust to the new comment. "Misty, please come here."
Misty shot me a nervous glance. "What do I do?" she squeaked. I just flicked my tail toward Hawkstar. She nodded her head and scampered up to the dark tabby.
"Misty, you are about six moons in age. So, from this day forward, until you earn your warrior name, you'll be known as Cinderpaw. Willowleaf will be your mentor. Willowleaf, you are young and skilled, but you have not had your own apprentice. I believe you can teach your skills to make Cinderpaw great credit to this clan." The she-cat's jaw dropped, but she quickly scampered to her new apprentice. Cinderpaw looked confused, but followed Willowleaf's lead. They touched noses and only part of the clan chanted her name.
"Cinderpaw, Cinderpaw, Cinderpaw!" I chanted the loudest, the fluffy cat scampered toward me.
"I never knew this would happen!" She panted in delight, but gave me a confused looked. "I don't what your name is."
I looked at her, shocked. "Your right, I'm Firepaw."
"Hello Firepaw." She dipped her head,"So what do I do?"
"Willowleaf should show you our territory, but maybe she'll do that tomorrow." I meowed, and headed toward the apprentice den. "I'll show you the den." I added. Cinderpaw padded over to me. Rainpaw, Blazepaw, and Applepaw were already in the den.
"Just what I need!" Blazepaw groaned. "Another she-cat!"
Applepaw just laughed, but quickly stop as Cinderpaw entered. "Congrats...kittypet." She spat, Cinderpaw looked at me in sorrow.
"I've had enough of your fox-hearted comments. Hawkstar is giving Cinderpaw a chance!" I hissed, and Cinderpaw walked up to my side.
"It's ok, they can made me sad, but no one can make me give up," she whispered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Cinderpaw soothed, and pick up some extra moss to make a nest close to mine. Hawkstar's yowl made me head out of the den.
"It's time to go to the gathering!" Snugglepelt yowled, and Cinderpaw walked up to my side.
"The gathering?" She questioned.
"It's where all the clan meet together and share news, I bet your coming. After all, you're Tigerclans newest apprentice." I meowed, and Cinderpaw nodded her head in agreement. We headed toward the group of cats. I noticed Cloudstream sitting outside the nursery with Fawnheart. Fawnheart's kits were due any time now, but Cloudstream was a bit plumper.
Hawkstar led the patrol out of the brambles.
For some reason this gathering felt...different.
