Nightpaw POV

I sat up and stretched my legs. The vigil was over. I walked with the elders Moonheart and Purdy we went to bury my sister.

When we got there I pushed my nose into Whitepaw's fur one more time. I searched for her sweet smell but could only smell death.

Grief blurred my eyes. She was always there for me. The Greenleaf light burned my pelt and I saw a strange cat in the corner of my eye.

He was a large a large, spiky-furred, unevenly mottled gray tom with a white face, large shoulders, sharp amber eyes, and a long, gray cat was well muscled. He flicked his tail indicating to meet him by the Sky Oak.

I felt myself nodding my head. I felt shocked I never saw him before but decided to meet him anyways.

"I'm going for a walk" I told Moonflower. She nodded her beautiful grey head in sympathy. "I'll tell the clan" she replied.

As I reached the sky oak I stared to pace. "Hello" he said quietly. "Wwwho are you" I asked, voice shaking.

"I'm Thistleclaw" he replied. I widened my eyes. Thistleclaw was a dark forest cat!

"Why are you here?" I asked. "I used to be close with your kin and I want you to be the best warrior you can be" he stated.

"But your evil" I gasped. He shook his large head. "I just made many mistakes and I want to fix them". Thistleclaw saw me hesitating "don't worry I won't hurt you if you won't train with me but just come at least once" he pleaded.

"OK" I said softly. His eyes brightened "don't worry if you don't like it you never will have to see me again" he purred. "I'll see you tonight" Thistleclaw said while fading.

I felt bad as I walked back to camp but then brightened a great warrior was going to help train me!
