I know it's kinda boring right now, but I will do my very best to make this all worth it! If you guys have any suggestions on the plot or whatever, please review! Thanks so much!

"Skypaw! Time for training!" Thornstar meowed.

Skypaw woke up. She quickly ran out of the apprentice's den, stepping on Thistlepaw's tail on the way.

"Oww!"

"Sorry!"

She scurried out to meet Thornstar. Hawkpaw was standing there with him.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to train with me?" Skypaw squealed

"Yes, and no. Hawkpaw is going to watch you train and then, he'll teach you some more moves to improve your skills." Thornstar replied.

"Why?"

Hawkpaw lowered his head. He asked Thornstar to let him watch Skypaw practice, just so he could see her more. Hawkpaw didn't know if he would stay, or not, but he was pretty sure that FireClan wouldn't want him to stay.

"Because I said so." Thornstar replied.

The three cats marched out of camp. They Climbed up the hill to the training grounds.

"Alright, Skypaw. Attack me." Thornstar said.

Without hesitation, Skypaw leaped onto Thornstar's back. She hooked herself onto his shoulders, but Thornstar rolled over, squashing her. She slipped out and pounced, leaping over him and kicking his hind legs.

"That's enough."

Skypaw stopped. She looked at Hawkpaw, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. "Hawkpaw, What did you think about her skills?" Thornstar asked.

"She was great."

"Her flaws, Hawkpaw, her flaws."

"Um ... well." He gulped. Hawkpaw didn't want her to feel bad. "Well, she shouldn't have jumped onto your back, because you're heavy, and she can't topple you over.

"Did you hear that?"

"... Yes."

Skypaw looked really down. Hawkpaw wondered if he shouldn't have said anything at all.

"I'm sorry..."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. Your right" She flashed him a grateful glance.

"Of course there isn't. You should be happy Hawkpaw helped you improve."

"Yes, of course, Thornstar."

"Alright. Hawkpaw, demonstrate a move for Skypaw that you think might work for her."

Hawkpaw lunged into Thornstar, but instead of jumping on him, he slid under him and bit his leg.

"Good. You caught me by surprise." Thornstar meowed.

"Thank you." Hawkpaw nodded respectfully to Thornstar.

Skypaw's eyes glowed with admiration. Hawkpaw felt his fur getting hot.

"All right, why don't you try it on Hawkpaw, Skypaw?"

"Okay. " Skypaw meowed enthusiastically.

Hawkpaw stood, waiting for her attack. Her gaze drifted to a butterfly, and Hawkpaw followed her gaze. Skypaw pounced, and attacked Hawkpaw the way he had attacked Thornstar earlier. She was just about to pounce again, when she suddenly stood rigid.

"I smell RippleClan warriors!"

True enough, five RippleClan warriors appeared out of trees. Hawkpaw suddenly wanted to shrink down to the size of a mouse. I don't want to leave! At least not yet! One of them, Cinderclaw, ran forward.

"Hawkpaw!"

"Father..."

"You're safe!"

"Of course he is. What do you think we are? Savages?" Thornstar growled.

"How would I know? You FireClan cats only care about power, so why would you take care of someone from RippleClan?" Cinderclaw hissed.

"We are not here to fight!" Whitewater stepped in Cinderclaw's way, blocking him from Thornstar. "We are only here to take Hawkpaw home. Thank you for caring for him while he was injured. We'll handle him from here."

"No!" Skypaw jumped in front of Hawkpaw, but it was too late. Hawkpaw was being dragged away by Cinderclaw. He looked back at her with wide, shocked eyes. "No! Stop!" Skypaw tried to chase after them, but Thornstar held her by the scruff. Shocked and furious that her best friend was being torn away from her, Skypaw yowled "NOOO!" For a second, everything was normal, well, normal as it could be, that is. Then, the earth opened up and rumbled. The RippleClan cats stood there, overcome with shock, until they finally realized the situation.

"RUN!" Cinderclaw yowled.

He was too late. Whitewater moved one second too late, and fell into the deep pit. Shocked at what she had done, Skypaw let out a whimper. She wished with all her might that Whitewater was alive and would crawl back out of the gigantic crack in the ground, but nothing happened. The RippleClan cats recovered, eyes wide, and backed away from Skypaw.

"You're crazy! You... you murderer! Rot in the dark forest!" One of the RippleClan warriors yowled.

"I... " Skypaw was extremely shocked herself. What had she done? How?

"You're a freak! Get away!"

"Don't say that! She didn't mean to!" Hawkpaw came to her defense. For some reason, he could feel Skypaw's pain and horror. HE could feel what she was feeling!

"Get back here! We're leaving!" Cinderclaw dragged Hawkpaw with him, and they disappeared towards RippleClan territory.

Skypaw ran back to camp with Thornstar chasing after her.

"Skypaw! Stop!"

"I'm a freak! Get away from me! I'm a freak!" She raced into camp and disappeared behind the elder's den. Faces turned towards Thornstar.

"What happened?"

"Did something go wrong?"

Questions pelted Thornstar, but he ignored them and raced to the medicine cat's den.

"Lilyripple, come now! She ..." Thornstar didn't get to finish. Lilyripple raced to the elder's den. I thought cats were supposed to follow me, not me follow them! Skypaw was huddled underneath a tree, muttering "Freak, freak, freak ..."

"Skypaw, come out."

"GET AWAY FROM ME! I'M A FREAK! I'LL KILL YOU TOO!" she yowled, then a sob.

"You're not a freak." Lilyripple calmly replied.

Skypaw looked up. Her usually happy blue eyes looked crazed.

"I opened up the ground, Lilyripple, please don't lie to me and say all cats do that!"

"Skypaw, listen to me..."

"NO!"

"You're blessed. From StarClan!"

"Lies... You're lying. Stop it!"

"I am not! You've been blessed with extraordinary powers that no other cat has!"

"Killing others is not some power I'd want!"

"I know you don't want this to be your power, but StarClan gave it to you for a reason, and it's a good reason too! Believe in your ancestors, Skypaw."

She looked at Lilyripple with her wide eyes. Lilyripple couldn't help but flinch. This normally calm and cheerful apprentice has changed into a crazy, mad cat in a matter of minutes.

"Just know that everything happens for a reason, and StarClan has a destiny for you." she sighed

"Of course they do."

"Don't be sarcastic! Why would I lie to you! Stop thinking about yourself, and start thinking about the people around you! Since you were a kit, Featherpelt and Thunderstrike never had a day of peace! They are worried something will happen to you when you find out! Why do you think they never let you out of their sight? They're worried for you! They don't want the same thing happening to you again!"

"What do you mean again?" Skypaw was shocked. Something like this has happened before? Who did she kill?

"... Well, when you where a newborn, the nursery set on fire." Lilyripple started, choosing her words carefully, "Featherpelt dropped you, and we couldn't save you. At least that's what we thought. But as the nursery burned to the ground, you were still alive, surrounded by a blue aura. The entire clan saw what happened, but no one knows why. Only Thornstar, your parents and I know. We later discovered that a DuskClan cat died for no apparent reason, while he was patrolling the border..."

"So I've gone against the warrior code and killed not one, but two cats." Skypaw meowed eerily

"Now, it doesn't mean that you killed him..."

"That's exactly what it means." Skypaw swallowed "The fresh-kill pile is running low. I'll go hunt."

She walked out from behind the den. I can't let this affect anyone around me, at least not now. Stonepaw ran up to Skypaw. "I'm getting my warrior name today!"

Skypaw put on her mask. "That's great! congrats!" She seemed to have fooled Stonepaw. He leaned forward and licked her cheek. She flinched, but Stonepaw didn't seem to have noticed. Stonepaw, get away! I don't want to hurt you!

"Well, I better get going then! Bye Skypaw!"

"Bye!"

She walked out of camp, the usual whistle of the trees greeted her, but she couldn't find comfort in their music. I can't hurt anyone anymore. If I am destined to do great things, why am I killing innocent cats! Oh StarClan, what do you mean for me to do?
