This morning, when I had woken up, I had this itch to go out into the wild. THe forest. It was something that I couldn't rip away from, like glue. I padded outside and found my friend Smudge facing away from me. Then I leapt up onto the fence post facing the life I wanted so badly- forest life. Then Smudge noticed I was about jump off into the forest when he meowed, "Rusty! What are going to do?" I hated when he had to do this. He did this every time I had tried doing it. "I'm going to jump," I explained blankly. "WHY! It's like sucicide out there! Don't do it, Rusty!" Smudge mewed. I jumped off the post I was sitting on and nudged Smudge. "I'llcome back later and visit," I said. Smudge looked at me and let me go. I looked back at him and cleared the post just ever so slightly. When I landed on the other side of the post, everything seemed different. I saw a mouse. 'Just like the dream I had,' I thought. The mouse was mine. Then I was tackled by a gray blur and I fought back, kicking him away. I kept fighting until the gray cat got off me. I stood up. "Graypaw, who is this!" A voice meowed. "A kittypet!" Graypaw hissed. 'So the gray cat is calle Graypaw,' I thought again. Weird. I was out here all alone and these Cats start attacking me. Just great. The gray tom led another broad bracken colored tom over to me. Then another silver-ish colored Cat walked up and meowed, "A kittypet. We do need Cats for out Clan, don't we, TigerClaw?" TIgerClaw replied, "Not a kittypet, BlueStar!" BlueStar sighed and padded up to me and meowed, "What's your name?" I replied quickly, but slow enough to here,"Rusty," "Rusty," murmured the one called BlueStar. After a spell she said to me,"Would you like to join our Clan?" I was lost for words. I hadn't expected this Cat to ask me if I wanted to join. "Make your choice before dawn tomorrow," BlueStar meowed. Graypaw added,"You fight well..for a kittypet," BlueStar barked at TigerClaw and Graypaw to follow her back to ThunderClan's camp, leaving Rusty alone at the gate. He jumped on the post and landed back on the other side. "Back so soon, Rusty?" Smudge meowed. I walked past him, confused. When I fell asleep, I thought about the idea, living outside this life? When I woke up, I had stayed up a few extra hours thinking. WHen I made up my mind, I went out to meet the three cats I had met yesterday. They were deeper into the feild than they were before, and the one called BlueStar asked, "What's your choice?" "I'll join you," "Good. Follow us," BlueStar meowed. Se ran, followed by TigerClaw, then Gryapaw,then Rusty. When BlueStar got back, everyone noticed Rusty right away. "A kittypet! BlueStar, are you mad!" A cat hissed. "Shut it, Longtail," BlueStar meowed calmly. "A kittypet!" An orange cat with emerald eyes meowed. Then, Longtail tackled Rusty and they fought each other for a couple hours until SNAP Rusty's collar broke, also resulting in a v cut into Longtails left ear. "This proves you've proved yourself a worthy opponent in battle," BlueStar meowed. She stood beside Rusty and meowed to her Clan mates, "Rusty's name is going to be from now on Firepaw, honoring his flame- colored pelt," No cheering was heard. You could've heard a pin drop is was that quite. Then the Wariors and Apprentices, kits and all went into their dens to sleep. BlueStar thought,'Fire can save our Clan,'...
