Hi again! No, I don't write this fast. I already had a few chapters written.

I yawned and stretched, arching my back. "Wait a second, why is she arching her back?" is what you're probably thinking. I was thinking that, too. Know what else I was thinking? Why am I alive?

I looked down at my white paws. Paws?! I was panicking. I turned, trying to see myself. I had a tail, for paws, and long, feathery black fur, the same color as my hair was when I was a human, and white paws. I'm a cat! My brain took a bit to process this.

Suddenly, I heard some voices coming from behind some bushes. "I hope Firestar picks us to go to the gathering tonight!" mewed a cat.

"Yeah! Jaypaw gets to go EVERY time, since he's the medicine cat apprentice, but sometimes we have to stay behind!"

"Warriors?" I accidentally mewed out loud. I read the series in 5th grade. Skylar and I talk about it a lot.

"Who was that?" two cats appeared from the bushes, one black, one yellow.

"Intruder!" the yellow cat jumped on top of me. "Let me guess, you're in ShadowClan, going to ambush us?"

"What? No! I'm not in a clan!" I struggled underneath him, but he was strong.

He gave me a disbelieving look, and mewed to the other cat, "Hollypaw, go tell the clan. There are probably ShadowClan warriors hiding somewhere." Hollypaw nodded and ran off.

"Lionblaze?" I mumbled, realizing who was pinning me.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing…"

"Who are you?" Lionblaze – or I guess, Lionpaw – asked.

I hesitated, which was a mistake. "…Lynwood."

He cocked his head. "That's not a warrior name…"

"I told you, I'm not a clan cat," I mewed, rolling my eyes at the tom.

Suddenly, a long-haired white tom, a pale grey tom, and a white she-cat appeared along with Hollypaw appeared from the bushes. "What is this?" the pale grey tom asked.

"Um… a rogue…" Lionpaw mewed.

"I thought it was a ShadowClan cat," mewed the white tom.

"I'm NOT ShadowClan," I mewed. I suddenly had an idea. "I was wondering if I could join ThunderClan."

The pale grey tom mumbled something to himself, then mewed, "Okay, let's take you to Firestar. But Lionpaw, I think you should get off of her first."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, right…" he jumped off of me. "Sorry…"

"What's your name?" the white tom asked me.

"Lynwood."

"That's a strange name…"

"I know."

"I'm Cloudtail, the grey tom is Ashfur, the white she-cat is Whitewing, the black she-cat is Hollypaw, and I guess you probably already know Lionpaw." I nodded.

When we got to camp, Ashfur jumped on a rock and went into a hole near the rock. A minute later he came out of the hole, a ginger tom following him. Firestar, I assumed.

Firestar and Ashfur jumped off the rock and came over to us. "Hello," he greeted.

"Uh… hi…" I mewed.

"Lynwood, I presume?"

"Yes."

"I am Firestar." He dipped his head. "It's nice to meet you. Are you saying you want to join ThunderClan?"

"Yes," I mewed. Where else would I go? I was in England! This is the only remotely familiar place on the continent!

"Alright." He went back over to the rock and yowled, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting." Cats appeared from dens, immediately looking at me. I definitely wasn't used to that much attention; it made me uneasy.

"A new cat will be joining ThunderClan," he announced. Some mews of protests, 'I knew it's and growls could be heard.

"Lynwood, please step forward." I hesitantly stepped forward, not liking all the eyes on me.

"Since you will be joining ThunderClan, you must have a ThunderClan name. From this day, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Featherpaw. I will be your mentor." We touched noses. That was kind of exciting. But I knew from reading the books that leaders don't take their apprentices out much because they're busy. Hm.

A few cats chanted my new name, but not many. Firestar dismissed the clan meeting and went somewhere.

I didn't really know what to do next. I knew all of these cats, but then again, I didn't. It felt like school.

"Hey, Featherpaw," I heard someone call me. I turned, seeing Lionpaw.

"What?"

"Do you want to come with Ashfur, Brackenfur, Hollypaw and I to go hunting?"

"Sure, I guess."

After I'd been there a while, probably a week and a half, the cats started to treat me a bit better, and it didn't seem like middle school anymore.

"Featherpaw!" I heard Lionpaw call to me.

I turned. "Yeah?"

He padded over to me. "Uh… do you want to go hunting together?"

I shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

We exited camp and started walking together.

"Hey, I'll race you to the lake!" Lionpaw's eyes sparkled mischievously and took off before I could reply. All I could do was run after him.

Although Lionpaw had a head start, because he was big, he was slow. I was much smaller, so it was very easy to get in front of him. Not to mention I'm already fast. Skylar probably would've said I should've joined WindClan instead.

Skylar.

He was pretty much the only reason why I wasn't 100% happy here in ThunderClan.

I easily beat Lionpaw, reaching the shore with the golden tabby tom probably two hundred feet behind me. I smirked as he finally reached the shore.

"I beat you yet again!" I boasted.

Lionpaw sighed, but suddenly perked up. I didn't even realize what he was doing until I was soaked.

"Hey!" I slapped the surface of the water with my tail, splashing Lionpaw.

Lionpaw growled playfully and tackled me, getting himself soaked. We wrestled in the shallow water for a bit, until Lionpaw finally got on top of me. "Ha!" he mewed triumphantly.

"Oh, look. You're on top of me again. I was wondering when we were going to end up like this," I mewed.

Lionpaw's face reddened in embarrassment and got off of me. He got out of the water and shook himself.

I followed him out of the water and shook myself, getting him wet again. He glared at me playfully, and took off, wanting me to chase him. I smirked and started after him, feeling the wind in my fur as I ran.

That's probably enough for now. I pretty much told you all of my secrets, save a couple. If you want to hear more, you're going to have to pay a visit to someone else…

Was it good? Was it weird? Was it the worst thing you ever read? You can't tell me if you don't review! :P
