Fowpaw was stalking a mouse, she had already locked focus on her target as she got into a hunting position, quietly she crept towards her prey, but before she could pounce there was a large yowl coming from the camp. The prey got away. "I'll get you next time" Foxpaw muttered. Then from the corner she heard Moonshade emerge from the bushes. "Did you hear that?" she asked her apprentice. Before Foxpaw could answer Moonshade was already heading back to the camp. I guess we're going back now. Foxpaw thought, following her mentor.
When they arrived to the camp there was a crowd of cats out. Most looked angered. Foxpaw made her way to the front of the crowd and saw a strange surprise. In the middle of the crowd, Icefall and Smallpaw were looking as if they were protecting something. By the looks of it, they were protecting a kit, around 6 moons. Nightwing was there too. She did not look happy. She never looked happy actually, now she seemed angry.
"What is wrong with you Icefall? She could be a spy." The deputy hissed at the warrior.
"That's impossible Nightwing." Smallpaw argued.
"How do you know, you're just an apprentice."
"Nightwing-" Icefall started. But Nightwing interrupted.
"And you. Of course you fell for their trick." Nightwing spat at the warrior. "You-"
"ENOUGH." A deep voice boomed.
Foxpaw turned to see Ashstar making his way through the crowd, with Mudleaf behind the leader's tail. The leader got between the Nightwing and the others. Nightwing thought this would help in her favor.
"Thank starclan. Ashstar-" Nightwing began.
"You are dismissed Nightwing." Ashstar told Nightwing.
"But-"
"Now."
A low growl escaped from the deputy's throat as she stalked her way next to Redfur to see the outcome. Ashstar faced Icefall and Smallpaw.
"Thank you two for escorting this one to us. You may be dismissed."
Foxpaw's fur stood on end. He told them to bring her here? But why? Foxpaw could tell that Smallpaw wanted to stay but she knew that was not the wisest choice. So she sat next to Foxpaw.
"What's going on?" Foxpaw asked Smallpaw.
"It's a long story." Smallpaw told her.
The kit was now by herself, exposed to the leader and Medicine Cat. Mudleaf studied her. Then he nodded. "She is the one." He told the leader. The kit looked scared. Mudleaf went back to the medicine cat's den and everyone was quiet. The one? What does he mean? Foxpaw wondered.
Ashstar looked at the kit. "You… You are not from here, now are you?" He asked her. The kit nodded. Foxpaw was able to finally get a good view since it was just Ashstar and her. The kit was a light brown tabby with forest green eyes. She was at a lost for words obviously. She nodded at the leader.
Ashstar nodded. "Today you have been chosen. You have been chosen from our ancestors and they wish you to join us. This is a rare opportunity. Will you take it? Will you join the clan?" He asked her.
The kit looked like she just swallowed a mouthful of mouse bile. The poor thing had no idea what she was getting into. She thought about it and finally made her decision.
"Yes." She said. She tried to sound bold but she could not prevent the pure terror she was truly feeling from leaking into her voice. Ashstar nodded.
Ashstar continued. "Before anything else, you have to make a promise. DO you promise to put this clan before you? Do you promise to defend it with all your strength? If you think you cannot, you should turn back now and never speak of this place."
"I-I promise" She said.
"Then you shall be given a new name as a member of our clan. From this day forth, you shall be known as Owlpaw. You will be mentored by the warrior Cougarheart." Ashstar nodded towards the warrior then continues to speak. "He will be your guide to our ways of survival. He will teach you to hunt, fight and defend yourself. You will listen to him when he gives you and instruction." He paused. Letting the words sink in."
Owlpaw nodded. "G-go on." She said.
"I am the leader of this clan. You are to refer to me as Ashstar."
Owlpaw nodded. "Okay."
Foxpaw watched as Ashstar made his way out of the crowd and climbed up the gathering tree when he sits when the clan has meetings. He started to speak to the clan.
"Then from this day forth, everyone will see this young kit as Owlpaw, apprentice of Forestclan. All of you are too return to what you were doing before all of the commotion."
He climbed down the tree as everyone went back to their previous activities. Foxpaw watched as Ashstar spoke to Smallpaw, and then Cougarheart, and finally Owlpaw.
Smallpaw trotted over to Foxpaw. "Come with me. We're going to give Owlpaw a tour around camp."
Note: I know this may have been different from the last chapter but it is suppose to be like this because it it from Foxpaw's perspective (She is a main character, surprise!) And since she is a warrior, the way this was written was the same for other warriors. A third point perspective. There will still be chapters from Mel's (Now Owlpaw) perspective, and yes it well be in first person. I just wanted to do this too. And yes I have decided to do Forestclan. There will be another clan called Lakeclan. (Suggested by u/5001557/Lostsurviver Thank you)
The plan is to have this story in two perspectives, One from a twoleg now cat, and the other is a pure warrior. Thank you guys for reading, hope you like this chapter, if not please don't be negative, this is my story I will do what I want to do with it. Thank you, bye!
