Wow this tom doesn't know how to fight. Aren't all clan cats the best fighters, thought Star as she fought the ginger tom. Her sister, Angel, was fight the light ginger tom who seemed to know what he was doing. Must have had more experience. They must have thought we would have been easy to fight with collars. We aren't tamed cats like most cats would think. sure our mother is a tamed cat but our father is a leader of a group of alleycats. We learned how to fight from him but he could not get rid of the collars which we all hated.
"Stop!" yowled a beautiful silver she-cat "What is the meaning of this attack?"
"Are you the leader of this group cats miss?" asked Star.
"You don't need to be so formal. But, yes I am the leader of Thunderclan. My name is Silverstar," the silver she-cat, Silverstar, meowed.
"Sorry but we just learned to be formal and can we, my sister and I, talk to you in private" meowed Angel.
"Of course, I'll lead you two back to camp." Silverstar beckons Star and Angel forward with her tail. "Fernsong, Foxpaw continue your tour of the territory." They nodded and walking off. Wow this she-cat has a lot of authority here. There was a short walk until they reached a hollowed out piece of earth and Star realized that this is Thunderclan's camp. "Welcome to Thunderclan's camp," meowed Silverstar as she led them up a ledge and into to a small cave. "So what to have to talk about?"
"Well I'm Star and this is my sister Angel," meowed Star. "We are from a group of cats that call themselves The Alleycats and our father, Lightning, leads them. Our mother is a tamed cat which is forbidden in the life of an Alleycat," Star paused looking at Angel to continue.
"Our mother's name is Sky, and we were wondering if we could join Thunderclan. But we wish to be called Angelpaw and Starpaw. We don't want to give up our old names completly," Angel stops letting the words sink in.
"One other thing," Star meows and she whispers something into Silverstar's ear. "Will you let us join your clan?"
"Of course, I could never turn down two cats who want to join Thunderclan but I first have to call the clan together to tell them that you two are apprentices of Thunderclan," Silverstar meowed looking at the sisters. "Go wait at the bottom of the Highledge and only approach when I call your names and touch noses with your mentor after the ceremony."
"Thank you so much," meowed Angel and Star as they walked down they Highledge.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather underneath the Highledge for a clan meeting," yowled Silverstar just as all the patrols returned. "Today, two cats came to Thunderclan and I have agreed to let them become apprentices of Thunderclan," the cats below murmured the agreements or disagreements. "Angel, you have come to Thunderclan as a willing apprentice. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Angelpaw. Your mentor will be Ivypool. I hope Ivypool will pass down all she knows on to you. Ivypool, you are ready to take on another apprentice. You had received excellent training from Cinderheart, and you have shown yourself to be brave and loyal. You will be the mentor of Angelpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Angelpaw." Ivypool and Angelpaw touch noses. She got a cat who she didn't even know as her mentor. Maybe I will get someone I actually know, thought Star. "Star, you have come to Thunderclan as a willing apprentice. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Starpaw. I will be your mentor." gasps echoed throughout the hollow, Silverstar must not take on apprentices that often. "I will pass on everything I have learned from Lionblaze onto you." Starpaw and Silverstar touched noses
"Starpaw! Angelpaw! Starpaw! Angelpaw!" the cats below cheered half heartedly.
"Since it's nearly nightfall, your tour of the territory will wait until tomorrow. Over there is the apprentice's den, you will be sleeping there with Featherpaw, Lightningpaw and Bluepaw. They're my kits and are almost done with their training. Also, Foxpaw, you meet him earlier, Sandpaw and Falconpaw. They just started their training today so they will be training with you a lot," meowed Silverstar.
"I didn't know you had kits," meowed Starpaw.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but you need your sleep. I can explain more clan life in the morning," Silverstar meowed as she walked up to her den with a white tom with a black stripe down his back. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Silverstar," Starpaw meowed as she walked into the apprentice's den. She dozed off right after she said hi to the other apprentices. Starpaw woke back up and saw that every cat was asleep. She quietly snuck out of camp and work her way towards the small town. "Father! Father!" She called out into the night.
"Star, you've returned,"
"But not for long. I gained their trust. I'm an apprentice along with Angel. Luna is teaching me," Starpaw exclaimed.
"You found Luna, I haven't seen her since she was a kit. Did you tell her about Solar," Lightning asked.
"Of course I did. But you'll never believe this: she has kits, four kits."
"Wow, do any look like me?"
"No but I think she named one after you. His name is Lightningpaw."
"Wow, I wish I could meet them."
"You will, once we attack. We have to wait until The Skulk attacks, then we come in as the finishing blow."
"Okay, report to me as often as I can and don't forget about you mate dear," meowed Lightning.
"I can never forget about Rabbit, when you see tell him I miss him," Starpaw pleaded.
"Don't worry, I will. I'll miss you, tell Angel I miss her too," Lightning mewed.
"I will, but you have to call us Starpaw and Angelpaw now," Starpaw meowed.
"I'll try to, goodbye for now."
"Goodbye and bring Rabbit next time," Starpaw meowed as she raced back to her nest and fell asleep hoping no cat would learn of them being a traitors.
