Sam growled.
"What do mean? I'm in Freddie's stupid book?"
Carly nodded. Sam shook her head.
"Aw, crap! This can't happen!", she said. "I can't be a cat!"
"Well it did and you are, Puckett.", Freddie said. "So get used to it."
Sam hissed at him. Carly frowned.
"Now Sam, be nice.", she said.
"Hey! You there!"
The three cats turned around. There were two cats running toward them, one a mottled light gray tom with clear sky-blue eyes, and the other a golden tabby tom with amber eyes.
"Who are you three? And why are you here?", Lionblaze hissed. Jayfeather sighed.
"Don't claw their ears off, Blaze.", he said, obviously annoyed. He turned to Sam, Freddie, and Carly.
"But what areyou doing here?", he asked. Sam stared at him. He was obviously blind, but it seems like he could see just fine. Lionblaze growled.
"What are you doing here?", Lionblaze repeated.
Sam growled back, crouched down, and unsheathed her claws.
"It's none of your business, Kitty!", she spat. Freddie padded to her side.
"Sam, don't! That's Lionblaze, you don't wanna pick a fight with him.", he whispered.
Carly stepped in front of Lionblaze.
"Sorry", she apologized. "See, we're just…uh-"
"Loners.", Freddie finished. Carly nodded.
"Loners, eh?", Lionblaze asked. He turned to his brother. "We should bring them back to Firestar."
Sam scoffed.
"Firestar? Who's that?", she asked.
Lionblaze huffed.
"You'll see soon enough.", he said. He began to pad away.
"Wait you idiot!", Jayfeather hissed. "You're going to take them back to camp without even asking them their names?"
Lionblaze quickly turned around and padded back to Jayfeather's side. He gave his chest fur a few embarrassed licks. Jayfeather sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I'm Jayfeather, and this-", he said, pointing to Lionblaze with his tail. "Is my mouse-brained brother, Lionblaze."
Carly's ear twitched. They didn't have warrior names.
"Oh, uh, I'm Carly, this is Freddie, and the cat who almost clawed your ear off is Sam."
Jayfeather nodded and looked at Lionblaze.
"Now you can bring them back to camp."
Lionblaze gave him a nod and started to pad away. Jayfeather and Freddie followed him, but Sam stayed behind. She was still staring at Jayfeather. Sam felt a weird rumbling and heard something strange. She was purring! Carly nudged her best friend on the shoulder with her tail.
"Sam? Um, you okay?"
Sam tore herself away from Jayfeather and looked at Carly.
"Don't be stupid, I'm fine.", she snapped.
And with out another word, she padded after the three toms.
"This can't end well.", Carly sighed and did the same.
-At Camp-
Sam watched as Jayfeather disappeared into the medicine den.
"Sam?"
Sam turned around to see Freddie.
"What do you want, Benson?"
Freddie shrugged.
"I just came to get you. We're going to meet Firestar!", he said happily.
Sam rolled her eyes.
"Dude, I honestly couldn't care less."
"That's the problem with you, Sam. You don't like to try anything different."
"So what if I like things to stay the same?", Sam hissed.
"What, are you scared or something?"
Sam hissed at him.
"Don't push me, Benson. I'm in a bad mood. Say another word and when I'm through with you, you'll be in more pain than Gibby when he got that triple Texas wedgie."
Freddie scoffed.
"What can you gonna do to me now? We're cats, remember?"
Sam grinned.
"Well for one thing, and I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but I have claws now."
She unsheathed her claws and Freddie took a step back.
A dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes approached them.
"Are you Sam and Freddie?", Brambleclaw asked.
They nodded. Brambleclaw led them to Firestar's den. Carly, Lionblaze, and Firestar were already there. Sam looked at Firestar. He was a ginger tom with a flame-colored pelt and bright green eyes. She looked at Freddie. Firestar was staring at him. Or right through him. Freddie returned Firestar's gaze with confidence, but he was so nervous inside. Firestar spoke up.
"These are the others?"
Carly nodded.
"Yes, sir. These are my friends Sam and Freddie."
Firestar looked at Freddie again.
"Is this the cat who gave you trouble, Lionblaze?"
Lionblaze shook his head.
"It was that one, Firestar.", he said, pointing to Sam with his tail.
Sam huffed.
"'That one' has a name you know!"
Freddie hit Sam on the back with tail. "Quiet, Puckett.", he whispered.
Firestar cleared his throat and looked at Carly.
"And it is your wish to join Thunderclan?"
Sam's jaw dropped. Carly couldn't do that! She wouldn't! Carly nodded.
"Yes, it is. We would be very grateful if you would have us."
Carly did. Firestar gave her a nod and turned to Brambleclaw.
"Find them a place to sleep." He turned to Sam and Freddie.
"And I trust you will be on your best behavior?"
Sam's tail twitched angrily. Firestar was talking to her like she was some stupid kid!
"We will, we promise.", Carly said. She looked at Sam. "Right?"
Sam slowly nodded. Brambleclaw led them to an old cave.
"You can stay here."
"Thank you." Carly mewed. Brambleclaw padded away and Freddie curled up in the cave.
"What happened to us?!", Sam screeched.
Carly hushed her.
"I don't know....maybe it was that spell-"
"How are we supposed to get home now?!"
Carly sighed.
"I don't know, Sam, but it's getting pretty late. We should get some sleep."
She curled up beside Freddie. Sam stayed where she was.
"I don't want to sleep on the dirty ground!"
Carly rolled her eyes.
"You've slept on the bathroom floor at school before. The dirty ground is so much cleaner."
Sam gave up. She was tired and hungry. She curled up beside Carly.
"I wanna go home....", Sam murmured before falling asleep.
