Chapter 1
WolfPaw
"Get away from me!" Rocky hissed, hackles raised, the dog stepped closer teeth bared "Food. Mine!" it barked looking towards the bloodied pigeon "It's mine!" the tom yowled, he unsheathed his claws and glared at the stumpy white canine. It growled and dashed towards the cat, but Rocky was ready for it. Jumping out of the way he slashed the dogs side and rushed towards the fresh-kill, gripping it tightly he jumped up the white fence and away.
Rocky's eyes glittered with laughter as he listened to the enraged west highland terrier "That'll teach you to mess with me." he mumbled before padding over to the middle of his garden and dropping his prize "Good thing those Twolegs left really." he mewed biting into the bird. The garden was a mess, abandoned for weeks just like Rocky, his Twoleg owners had decided to move and left the poor tom to fend for himself. He didn't care though, to him the freedom was wonderful, but he pined for company, to be by oneself for almost a month was quite unbearable.
After finishing his meal he leapt back over the fence and headed towards the forest "Might as well go check it out." Rocky muttered to himself.
A warm, fresh scent floated on the silent breeze making Rocky feel content and happy, jumping forwards he dashed away into the forests green depths, leaping gleefully at the staccato of falling red and brown leaves. "This is great!" the young tom mewed "I think I'll live here from now on." pouncing into a pile of dead leaves he patted them and rolled around enjoying the scratchy feeling of them upon his back.
He soon got tired of this however and decided to wander off in any random direction, the wind gently blew at Rockys fur as he padded along eyes to the ground 'This way...' it said. The toms eyes widened "Who's there?" he meowed 'This way...' the gentle winds grew stronger and pushed at the small cat. He unsheathed his claws and planted them deep into the soil "Leave me alone!" he yowled crouching down low, ears flattened against his skull. 'Follow the fox...' the voice sighed and as swift as it'd come, it left, panting Rocky slowly stood up and looked round "That was strange..." his eyes narrowed and he shook his head "I must be imagining things."
As the woods lightened a sense of peace entered Rockys mind making him forget all about the anonymous voice, he gazed upwards through the trees admiring the beautiful clear-blue sky, purring he looked back down and delved ever deeper into unknown territory.
The proud tomcat sat waiting on the Highrock trying his best to stay calm 'Come on Rustkit look cool.' he curled his tail around him and put on his best impression of a calm, cool face. "Stormtail," meowed Redstar his voice deep and gentle, "you are ready for your first apprentice. You will mentor Rustpaw." The warrior tom and apprentice stepped forwards and touched noses "I will strive to do the best I can." the newly apprenticed tom whispered to his mentor. Stormtail purred and they both stepped off the rock simultaneously and padded towards the awaiting crowd of pleased cats.
"Get out of our territory, kittypet!" snarled a white she-cat who had jumped Rocky a moment before, pinning him firmly down upon the hard ground "Kittypet?" Rocky asked innocently and unresisting "A cat who is born in Twolegplace!" she spat digging her claws deeper into the young cat. "Ow! Don't you know its rude to scare a cat who's hunting?" The sly tomcat said, the white queen glared then jumped off him flicking her paws one by one in disgust before licking them clean of kittypet stench.
"You don't smell as strongly of kittypets as most." she said padding round the cat in interest "Why did you come here?" "I have no home to call my own nor company." Rocky answered calmly locking eyes with the queen, she nodded in thought and twirled away from him "Follow me." she commanded dashing away into the undergrowth.
Rocky struggled to keep up with the fast snow-white she-cat, 'she's too fast' he thought his paws thudding through the flora. Up ahead the queen stopped her breathing slow and even, unlike Rocky who was gasping slightly for air. "Keep up kittypet." she snapped wading into a liquid mix of water and mud to the other side. The young tom flicked his ears and jumped into the middle of the horrible murky water ignoring the cold and shock he pulled his way out, shook himself and ran on.
"Redstar!" the white cat yowled "I've captured a cat not of our clan running around in our territory." Rocky glared at her and backed off "Captured?" he mewed giving his damp fur a quick lick. A deep voice boomed through the camp "Bring this cat to me." "Yes Redstar." the queen meowed back "Come on kitty." she walked towards a large rock, at first Rocky wondered why they were heading towards a rock but as they stepped closer he noticed a lichen covered hole. "Get in then." the white cat growled pushing him inside with her nose.
The cave-like den was quite large in comparison to its entrance and the dark gave the place a mysterious energy which was increased by the eyes of the aforesaid cat: Redstar. His amber eyes glowed eerily in the dark "A cat not of the clans, eh?" he said standing up and walking casually over towards the small grey tom, he opened his mouth to draw in Rockys scent "He smells of kittypet," he said slowly "prey, and forest." He narrowed his eyes at the young cat "You've been eating prey from our forest." he mewed simply "Fallensnow." "Yes, Redstar?" "Call a meeting, this cat has broken the rules of the forest."
"Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the Highrock for a ThunderClan meeting!"
FallenSnows loud yowl reverbrated throughout the camp making all cats – apprentices, warriors, queens and elders alike – come crowding round the large rock. As Redstar padded out of the cave followed by Rocky, the caterwaul of voices died down to muttering "Who's that? An enemy warrior?" spat a jet-black cat within hearing distance, Redstar glanced at him but instead of responding jumped smoothly onto the Highrock. "My clan cats!" yowled the large brown tom "This cat has invaded our territory and eaten our prey." Gasps from the cats below made Rocky twitch his ears in annoyance "I will punish this cat in the name of StarClan. His punishment will be, to hunt and learn with the other apprentices." The crowd yowled as one in disagreement "This cat should be killed, not welcomed into the Clan!" shouted the same black cat from earlier "I agree!" a small bodied, big-eared cat meowed "A cat who steals should not join the Clan." Redstars eyes glittered with amusement "He should be given a chance to redeem himself." he said loudly.
The gathering quieted and Rocky glared in defiance at the two irritating warriors, Redstar padded towards him and touched his muzzle with his own then after stepping back and flashing a glance at the bossy white she-cat, he announced "Fallensnow, you are ready for your second apprentice. You will mentor Wolfpaw."
The grumpy white cat leapt upon the HighRock and silently touched noses with the newly named Wolfpaw, a gentle expression crossed her features but as she jumped back to the ground the look vanished, Redstar urged the tom to follow her and although crossly, he did as asked. The astonished, angry, cats eyes glaring at his back the whole way.
"Right, kitty." Fallensnow meowed "I'll show you around, but only once! Don't come moaning to me after if you can't find the toilet!" she spat "Now come on." She flicked her tail in indication for him to follow, he obediently padded quickly along behind her as she described the various places of the camp "...and this is the kits den, you can go and poke your nose in if you want but don't touch them." she commanded before walking into the warm, dark, cave. "Autumnfur, you in here?" the white she-cat mewed quietly "Yes, over here." came the reply as Wolfpaw edged further into the dark, a figure of a thin tortoiseshell she-cat became more and more clear, snuggling up to her side were two small balls of fur. Fallensnows eyes glittered with joy as she watched the small kits mewl quietly suddenly she bent down and licked one of the kits, then she turned back towards the entrance mewing over her shoulder "They've grown, Autumnfur."
"What was that all about?" Wolfpaw asked pacing beside his mentor "None of your business!" Fallensnow snapped "Now, anything you don't know about hunting tell me now, so that I can get it over and done with tomorrow." the grey tomcat shook his head "There's nothing I don't know about hunting." he meowed, the white queen narrowed her eyes but nodded in understanding. "Fine, when you wake up in the morning go hunt." With this she padded off, leaving Wolfpaw to find his way to the apprentice den alone.
