Chapter 1
The blue moon ran up the sky slowly and there was frosty air that pierced my fur. The leaves were now turning brown-red like my pelt after a long summer.
"Hazelpaw, come on!" A pale gray she-cat urged.
"Coming Mistpaw," I called.
Mistpaw is my best friend and tonight there is a gathering. I padded near my leader and we went to a place that had two trees next to each other with a river in between, even in the moonlight it was beautiful. Wow, this place is better than I imagined.
"Come on let's meet the other apprentices, Mistpaw," I padded to a young white she-cat.
"Hello." I mewed, waiting for a name.
"Oh, hi my name's Snowpaw, yours?"
"Mine's Hazelpaw and this is Mistpaw," I replied pointing my tail to my friend.
"Nice to meet you both,"
A loud yowl made my ears hurt. "The gathering has begun." Nightstar the Moonclan leader called.
"Moonclan has two apprentices, Rainypaw and Ashpaw" The old leader stepped down, letting Swiftstar up.
"Fireclan as well has two new apprentices, Sparrowpaw and Hazelpaw, and a warrior, Whitestripes." She swiftly, hence her name, leaped down.
"Hi!" A strange voice said.
My heart skipped a beat from the attack of him/her.
"Who are you? You scared me half to death!" The cat leaped in front of me.
"Sorry, I'm Pantherpaw." He had orange eyes and black fur. Odd for a cat
"Hey, meet me at sun-high: the border." Then as if I never saw him, he vanished.
