Claws poked dangerously into my fur, and my knees buckled with the weight of this new cat. Dandy screeched and flung her at my attacker. I turned to see a dark brown tabby tom rolling in a fight with Dandy.

Raccoon looked at me to check if I was okay and pulled the tabby of Dandy. The tom's amber eyes bore into Dandy's eyes, and then he drew a paw over his ear. ??

Dandy POV

I glowered at the tom, as he flicked his tail. Another black tom with long legs, a golden tom and a dark ginger she-cat slithered out from a bush. Raccoon hissed besides me, and Fogkit scurried to my side.

The brown tabby showed no sign of threat now, as he meowed, "Why are you here?"

The ginger she-cat murmured something into his ear, too low for me to make out, and turned to look at me. I felt her green eyes scorch my fur, and I licked my chest.

Raccoon mewed, "We're just passing through."

I added, "To a … clan."

Raccoon shot me a look and turned her gaze back to the tom. He sized me up, and replied, "What clan?"

Fogkit blurted out, "Riverclan!"

I nudged her and said, "And Thunderclan, of course."

A small thought nagged at my mind. How did I know…? The lean black tom gasped in surprise, "Really?"

The golden tom said to the tabby tom, "Should we tell Firestar, Brambleclaw?"

Those were clan names! I perked my ears, and saw Fogkit do the same. Brambleclaw nodded and said, "First, tell me who you are."

I meowed cautiously, "I'm known as Dandelion… or…"

Fogkit said excitedly, "I'm Fogkit. Are you Riverclan?"

Brambleclaw meowed, "No. We're Thunderclan."

Raccoon narrowed her eyes and half hissed, "I'm Raccoon."

Brambleclaw nodded and led us through the forest, sometimes glancing back at us. The other cats paraded around us, staring at us with wary eyes. The scents… the sights… the smell… Thunderclan! I'm home at last!

I poked my head through the bramble barrier, and I was knocked off my feet by a tortishell tom. He nuzzled me, and I gasped, "Robinflight!"

I licked his head and he thrust his muzzle into my cheek. I heard Brambleclaw hiss furiously, "Stop!"

Robinflight looked at him, puzzled and meowed, "She's my sister!"

The ginger she-cat hissed in surprise, and I saw 2 shapes scurry out of a den. A silver she-cat, Pebblekit, and the second cat, a strong dark ginger tom, I recognized as Foxkit!

Fox…

Pebblekit meowed, "Lilykit! Its great to see you again? I'm Pebblestorm, now."

Storm…

Foxkit nuzzled me, too, and meowed in a deep voice, "I missed you. I'm Foxspots."

I flicked my tail at his ear, "I know who you are. You are my brother,"

A fiery tom watched us silently, and after our reunion, he padded towards us. His voice was proud and strong, but weighed down with age, "Are you… Do you know know… Rosestripe?"

I nodded slowly, and said nothing. He stared at us and meowed at last, "You can stay… if you want to?"

My eyes lit up and I looked back at Raccoon and Fogkit. Fogkit seemed uncertain, and Raccoon was clearly unhappy. Fogkit crept up to the ginger tom and mewed shyly, "I'm R-Riverclan, I think."

"You think, huh?"

"Y-yes."

He flicked his tail for the clan to gather around him, not that they weren't already curiously staring at the strangers. Brambleclaw stalked up to the leader and said, "Are you sure, Firestar?"

Firestar nodded, and addressed the clan, "We have some new clan members."

A yowl disrupted his words. A wiry brown she-cat furiously glared at the tom, who was obviously the leader. She hissed, "What? More rouges? Next we might as well be accepting twolegs!"

Firestar ignored the murmur of consent that swept through the clan and took a deep breath and rasped, "No, Mousefur. This cat here used to be part of the clan. Remember that kit, Lilykit?"

Mousefur narrowed her eyes and said, "What about the others?"

Firestar turned his head to Raccoon and Fogkit. He mewed, "We shall escort the younger one to Riverclan…"

Raccoon interrupted harshly, "I won't join."

Firestar looked at her and nodded, "Very well."

Raccoon glanced at me, with a soft look, "Well, this is the end of me. I'll go back to Bloodclan."

I looked at her. After Scourge had died(yippee), Bloodclan had a new heir, Rysa(Rai-suh). From what I heard from Raccoon, she was relatively fair, but the punishments were harsh. I nodded slowly and watched Raccoon sweep out of the clan.

Firestar beckoned to me on top of a great rock in the middle of camp. I came to him, and he meowed loudly, "Lilykit, you have suffered many seasons of hardship, and now, it is time for you to become a warrior," he paused, "You have skills beyond that of a warrior, so your warrior name shall be…"

I held my breath.

My heart beat fast.

My warrior name was…

Lilysky, for the vastness of the beautiful expanse, for the beauty within.

Finally.

I am home.

Sorry I took so long for this. I had a million ideas, and kept deleting them all! Watch for the new episode after Slave in Hell, Hellfire!! ;) See ya there!

P.S. Its not gonna be about Lilysky, sry. I know that's a bad name.
