Talon felt a paw prod his side and he opened his eyes to see Thorn. Talon jumped up and Thorn laughed and said "Man, you got energy! Today I'm going to learn what Greens do. I'm learning with Sprite, the other Black and you are going to do something with Ferret. I have absolutely no clue what, though."

"Thanks!" Talon took off and almost ran face first into a pretty pinkish-white she-cat. He looked down and saw that she had a black paw. This must be Sprite! "Hello, you must be Talon. Ferret is waiting for you over by the Purple Head-quarters. Don't keep him waiting."

"Thank you." He said then took off. He found Ferret right in front of the Purple Head-quarters and Ferret grins and says "Today we are learning how to pick a mate. Each of these she-cats in here can be your future mate. Very few have mates, but a few do. Ok, well let's go in."

As they padded inside he saw many she-cats. The den smelled of rosemary and honey. He then saw a familiar pelt, Flower! He started to go over there when Ferret said "You can't go see your sister, at least one of these she-cats will be your mate. Flower is fine, she doesn't need you, soon she will have her own kits."

"But she is my sister!"

"Listen, if you develop any attachment what so ever to her any tom will kill you for her. Even if she is your sister."

"Ok." He said a little downcast.

"How you pick a she-cat is you pick them based on their eye color, the darker the eye color the more kits she will produce. The lighter her pelt is the less kits he will produce. Understand?" Talon nodded unsure of how else to reply.

"Ok, then tell me which of these she-cats would produce the most kits." Talon sighed and looked until she saw three black she-cats huddled in a corner. He padded over and prodded them awake. "Wrong!" Ferret bellowed.

"What?"

"You don't prod a Purple awake you yowl at them but you did find the darkest pelted she-cat so I can't be that mad, now tell me which one would produce the most kits?"

Talon peered at each of the she-cats when he noticed one of them had dark amber eyes but a white tipped tail. He shook his head and touched the black one with dark blue eyes. "This is her!"

Ferret grinned and said "Yes, it is her. Good job! That is Night, she is the best she-cat we have, just turned 6 moons yesterday. I'm going to leave you now, pick out a she-cat that you like and I will come back in and see who you chose." As Ferret padded out Talon scanned the room until his gaze fell on a gorgeous silver tabby with black paws, except for the one purplish-gray paw, belly and green eyes. He padded over and she acted like she was scared, he bent down and asked "What is your name?"

"I am Arch, 5 moons old."

"5 moons?"

"Yes"

"Wow, why are you in here?"

"My dad ordered it, my dad is Ferret."

"Oh, well how would you like to be my mate? You wouldn't have to deal with abusement all the time."

"Thanks, of course I'd be your mate." She said softly.

"Ferret!" Talon yowled

As Ferret pushed his way in when he saw who Talon had picked he said "Well, you have good taste I'll tell you that. If she wants to be your mate then you can have my daughter but first she must say yes."

"Daddy, I do want to be Talon's mate." Arch said

"Ok, well Talon that is one down four to go." Ferret grinned

"Yeah."

"Wait, you have to have five mates? I am just chosen because I'm a she-cat! TALON! I don't want to be your dumb, stupid mate any more! Get lost!" Arch screeched.

Talon drew back, surprised by the sudden change in the young she-cat. Talon then looked at Ferret who was grinning at Talon and said "Well, my little girl doesn't like being used! Sorry, Talon!"

Talon couldn't help feeling a little suspicious of Ferret. He seemed almost pleased...was the head-of-Blacks hiding something? Did he want Talon to fail? He doesn't want me to be popular, he's scared of me! He knows that I would change everything about this group, he is dumb to think I would hurt his daughter to get there. He is going to pay, dearly.

Well, this chapter was short, I know but I want you to see what this group is like, it may be short but you get to see the Purple life and a little bit of Ferret in there. Hope you like it! P.S. I have other stories so take a look at those, hope you like them!
