"And she wishes to join you in ThunderClan." Bramblestar finished, looking out at the group of cats joined together under the ledge he was announcing from.
Some gazes looked welcoming and others looked uncertain. One tabby tom looked like he was about to explode.
"Please let her stay!" He blurted out "You let me stay! I'll have someone just like me now!"
Bramblestar gazed at the tom. "Um... Thank you, Stormcloud," he mewed, then he looked back out to the crowd "So, will you accept her?"
"I will." Fox looked down to see a longhaired cat with a back stripe "My best friend wasn't forest born," He rasped "But Firestar was one of the best cats who ever lived."
He knew Firestar?
"I welcome her." Someone meowed.
Another voice arose from the crowd. "I'll give my support."
"As will I."
"Me too!"
Fox's heart overflowed with joy as a few cats meowed their approval. She looked at Bramblestar and then Jayfeather. The leader looked hopeful as the hot tabby beside her on the ground looked like he was trying not to smile with gratitude towards the cats. Bramblestar gracefully climbed down the rock pile leading to the ledge. Jayfeather and the flame-pointed cat moved out of the way as the brown tabby stood in front the overhang.
"Fox," He mewed "Come forward."
She shyly padded up to the tabby.
"Now, I know that you are the same age as Jayfeather, but you will still be an apprentice for a little while." Bramblestar's voice rang out in the hollow.
He rested his chin on Fox's head. She shot a confused look at Jayfeather but he didn't even seem to notice.
"Fox, from this day forward, until you receive your full medicine cat name, you will be known as Foxpaw. You're mentors will be Jayfeather and Leafpool, as I hope they will pass down all that they know onto you."
Lick his shoulder! Yowled Bluestar's voice.
The she-cat did as instructed. Bramblestar lifted his head and they looked out at the group.
"Foxpaw! Foxpaw! Foxpaw!" The Clan cheered.
And with joy Fox realized that it wasn't a Clan. It was her Clan.
