A/N I want a jalepeno wrapped in bacon! Seriously! That sounds awesome! Yeah, we were supposed to be doing a project on a fruit or vegetable and my friend got jalapenos and you have to find a recipe and he found jalapenos wrapped in bacon, and I'm just like, holy shit dude. He dared me to put this.

Okaaaaayyyy, so, uh, story, right. Thanks people who reviewed! Especially Pumpkinfur, weirdrkheartsb, and gabbycat22, who all seem to be keeping up with this story pretty well.

Chapter 6


"Hello, Moonlight! What can I-oh! Who's this?" A pretty tortoiseshell stepped out from behind a group of stalagmites in the dark cave.

"Uh, this is Raven, Maplepatch. I found her by the twoleg carrionplace. She insisted I bring her here to join the clans." Moonlight said looking down at her paws.

"Dude, you left out one teensy part. I came from the clans!" Raven looked up happily at Maplepatch. When she looked at the black kit with a puzzled look, Moonlight quickly spoke up.

"She says she lived with the dogs at carrionplace. Apparently, the dogs told her she was clan-born."

"Dogs! A cat doesn't live with dogs! They'll rip our fur off!" Maplepatch's eyes were wide with disbelief.

"I know. She's just a kit and doesn't really know what she's talking about-"

"Excuse me?! I'm six months old! Technically not a kit! And I know what I'm talking about!" Raven lashed her tail in anger. Mapplepatch stared at her in shock.

"Months? Technically? W-what do you mean?" She asked.

"Sheesh! Don't you guys know anything? Or do I gotta explain everything!"

"M-moonlight? Can I speak to you, alone, real quick?" The medicine cat quickly asked. Moonlight nodded and the two cats receded to the side of the cave and whispered quietly to each other.

Meanwhile, Raven looked around the small cavern with wide, curious eyes. The ceiling was low with pointy stalagmites hanging down. There was a little pool that, oddly, shined with moonlight. Raven padded over to it and realized there was another hole in the ceiling like the one in the main cavern that cast moonlight into the small pool. It had obviously rained through the hole and formed the small pool.

Raven looked at her reflection. What she saw actually shocked her. It was a cat. Sleek black fur with big amber eyes. Pointy ears and little whiskers. A cat, not a dog. So this is who I am. She thought. I have to stay in the clans! I belong here! I am a cat! No, I'm the cat!

"Uh, Raven, me and Mapplepatch think that, well, maybe you didn't come from the clans." Moonlight stuttered.

"WHAT!" Raven growled.

"It's just that you're kind of young, and you don't remember when you were little. And maybe the dogs lied. They are dogs,"

"B-but Moonlight! I thought you believed me!"

"Well, sorta-"

"I thought you were my friend!" The little cat bolted out of the cave. All of the clan cats stared at her. She ran right into a reddish she-cat with a fox-like face, white tail tip, and black ears.

"Hellooo," The cat said.

"Um, hi,"

"You're the one who Moonlight brought in, right?"

"Uh, yeah.

"You want to become part of the clans?"

"Well, I thought I did."

"What do you mean, little one?" She wrapped her tail around Raven's shoulder and pulled her into the shadows of the cavern.

"Moonlight brought me here, and I told her about the dogs and she believed me. But now, she doesn't!"

"Oh, you poor thing! Don't believe a single thing that stupid furball says!"

"I won't, but no one believes me."

"I believe you."

"You do?"

"Yes. What's your name little one?"

"Raven."

"Well, Raven, maybe I can talk to Silverstar about you joining the clans."

"Really!"

"Yep! Come on, lets go ask. Silverstar has been sick lately, and is in her cave." The two cats walked to a huge ledge with stair-like rocks leading up to it. There was a cave right behind it, and this is where they went.

"Foxtail? Is that you?"

"Yes, Silverstar."

"Who in the name of StarClan is that with you?"

"This is Raven. She wishes to join the clan," Foxtail told her all about Raven and how she lived with the dogs and how they told her she was from the clans.

"Dogs!" Silverstar's neck fur bristled. "Cats do not live peacefully among dogs! We've lost to many warriors to them lately!"

"Well this one has lived with them without any problems,"

"I doubt it! If she really did, she can go back to them. We don't live with dogs here!"

"But Silverstar! She's young! She can't help where she came from!"

"No, but she's old enough to know the ways of the dogs!"

"She can learn our ways!"

"Foxtail! I understand you are deputy, but that doesn't mean you can argue with your leader! One day, you will be leader, and when you are, I'll expect you to know how to make the right decisions. Like right now, you need to get rid of this kit!"

"I understand, Silverstar, but I really think I am making the right decision. Our clan should be welcome to such a willing future warrior. She's clearly past six moons old, definitely ready to be an apprentice." The ginger she-cat stood bravely with her fluffy tail up. Silverstar looked a little confused but than got angry.

"Fine! But I don't want this dog anywhere near the nursery! She's spent to much time with those foxhearts! And by the name of StarClan if she sets one claw on any of our cats, she'll be sent right back to were she came from!" Silverstar angrily walked out of the cave and out onto the ledge to address the clan.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather hear beneath the Rockledge for a clan meeting," Silverstar sat up there and beckoned Raven with her tail. The black cat walked forward next to the leader.

"Everyone, you've heard this one's wild story about dogs." The clan cats all nodded there heads. "What's your name again?"

"Raven,"

"Cats of MoonClan, this cat shall be called Ravenpaw, her mentor will be Moonlight. Might as well put two cats who can't be trusted together," Silverstar mumbled the last part so only Ravenpaw heard. All the cats looked up at her, their faces filled with shock.

"Those aren't the correct words for an apprentice ceremony!" A gray she-cat with bright green eyes yowled.

"This cat clearly doesn't deserve it anyway!" Another one said. Silverstar ignored them and went back to her cave. Ravenpaw padded over to Moonlight and looked down awkwardly at her paws.

"I'm sorry about running out on you earlier," She mewed quietly.

"It's ok. I should have believed you. Well, at least now I'm your mentor! You're part of MoonClan now!" The Moonlight licked Ravenpaw's ear. The gray cat looked worried though and she looked anxiously back and forth.

"Yeah, sure, great!" Ravenpaw mewed happily, but couldn't help worrying. What did Silverstar mean when she said she was putting two cats that couldn't be trusted together? She understood why she didn't trust her, but why Moonlight? What did she do? She shook her head to clear it, and tried to be excited about finally being part of the clans.


A/N Wow I'm sorry I took so long to write that. I only wrote a little of this chapter every now and then, I've had like no time to write. And I'm just realizing that this chapter has a lot of dialogue. But, whateves.

Rhianna! I can't understand what your review says! But are you happy that this chapter is longer! Sheesh!

Sooooooo, for now, boo bye!
