(Kai POV)
The pounding in kai's ears was unbearable. He slid his eyes open. Confusion hit him instantly. Where was he? Last he remembered was going to bed the night before. He opened his eyes all the way. He saw two cats. one was a very small, brown and white ca.. the other was a large cat with black paws and white fur.
He tried to stand up, but he found that was difficult because it felt as if his legs were gone.
Then he realized, he had four legs and four, fluffy, furry, paws!
He worked his way to his paws as the smaller cat noticed him. "Oh!, You're awake!" Kai had no time to listen. He scrambled, still figuring out how to walk, out of the den of leaves and into a clearing with tons of other cats. the two cats from before followed him.
Wh- what am I doing here?! Who, what, are all of you?" Kai wondered in blunt shock, unknowing of his entire situation.
"Were cats, Mouse-brain" Said a larger black and white Female cat. "You're in ShadowClan now." She said. She brushed her tail over Kai's ear as the huge white cat stared at him in deep interest. "you will sleep in the nursery until we know what to do with you." He growled.
The female cat pushed Kai into the den of rocks and leaves he saw before.
"Now don't mind him" said a very furry female cat with cream colored fur. "That's Blackstar, the Clan leader. I'm Kinkfur, and this is Ivytail." Kinkfur said, gesturing her tail to the cat from before, Ivytail.
"But why am I here. I wasn't here before." Kai hissed. "A border patrol found you near the lake. You were asleep. They brought you here, and Blackstar's considering making you an apprentice. You're almost six moons old. That's when normal apprentices start their training." Explained Ivytail. "But How did I get to the lake? Why am I becoming an apprentice?"
Just then, four kittens, as big as him, came crashing out from behind Kinkfur and Ivytail
"Hi!" yowled the Small one. "This is Smallkit, Shadekit, Falconkit, and Vinekit." Meowed Ivytail. "They're mine and Blackstar's kits."
Falconkit, a Tom, looked exactly like Blackstar. Smallkit, also a Tom, was black with white spots. Shadekit, a Female, was a dusk gray. Vinekit was a silver she-cat with black stripes and long fur.
"What's your name?" asked Vinekit. "Uh, I'm Kai." Kai meowed. "Are you Kaikit?" Exclaimed Shadekit. "N-no just Kai."
"Ok then Kai, why don't you make yourself comfortable and rest for the night." meowed Kinkfur. He had no choice. There was nowhere to go but here. He could run away, but he was too small. He couldn't sleep. he could only think of the others. Where were they? Were they cats too?
Kai tried to drift asleep, but he could hear whispering from the other cats outside.
"Can you believe it! Blackstar can't make this strange kit a Clan cat! Does he want to make us like those ThunderClan mange-pelts?"
Kai as confused. what are ThunderClan? Are they like a rival clan? He thought.
Kai woke the next morning to find that Falconkit had landed on him. "What are you doing?!" hissed Kai. "Playing! Didn't you play with your littermates as a kit?" Questioned Falconkit. "No. I didn't have littermates." he said, shaking Falconkit off him. He began to stand and walk around to stretch his stiff body, but he was interrupted by Kinkfur as she grabbed him by the scruff and began licking him.
"Hey! Stop that!" Kai yowled. "Oh, stop complaining. Blackstars' making you all apprentices today. you should at least look nice."
After that torture, kai shook himself out. Ivytail stood and stretched. "You should get some fresh-kill. Maybe explore the camp. share stories with the elders." She meowed.
Kai trotted out to see the Clan in actual Daylight. it seemed nice. Blackstar was nowhere to be seen. He could see another cat at the high point of the clan giving orders, and small groups of cats leaving the camp. He spotted a little pile of dead frogs, lizards, snakes, and birds. that must be the fresh-kill. These cats eat frogs!
Kai reluctantly grabbed a frog, laid down, and took a bite. To his surprise, it wasn't that bad. He was also very hungry. He gulped down the dead animal in a few swift bites.
He finally saw Blackstar trotting over to him. "Finally got something to eat? Don't Worry, I'll find just the right cat to menor you, Outsider." He meowed, with a hint of sternness in his voice. "I bet no cat in this Clan will be able to mentor me. Trust me, all of the cats assigned to me will be taking me back in no time" Kai Challenged. he could tell Blackstar knew he was joking, but he then gave Kai a hard stare, as if he thought Kai was serious, which he partly was. "I know just the perfect cat to mentor you." Blackstar sneered. He went off to join the other cats to talk.
When Kai was done, he looked around. Where do I start? He decided to walk to the place he woke up in. as he went, he noticed many of these cats were giving him harsh, hostile looks. They don't want me here. they don't like outsiders.
He made his way into the leaf-covered den. Inside was the smaller cat from before. "Oh, hello!" He Greeted. "I don't believe we've formerly met. I'm Littlecloud, the Clan Medicine cat."
"I'm Kai." Litlecloud made his way over to Kai and sat down. "i suspect the Queens didn't tell you much about the clans." Kai shook his head.
"Well, there are four Clans in the forest. ShadowClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClan. all cats start out as kits. they stay with their mothers in the nursery until they are six moons old. when they are that age, they are apprenticed to another Warrior, or Medicine cat, depending on which they want to be. That's when they become a paw'. When they finish their training, they get their Warrior or Medicine cat name, and become Warriors, or Medicine cats. Warriors re the heart of the clan. they catch food, fight, and many other things such as that. every cat has a job. the Kits will grow up to be whatever they are when they die. apprentices grow to be medicine cats or Warriors. When a She-cat gets pregnant with kits, they move to the nursery. they stay until they bear their kits, and nurse them. after their kits are apprenticed, they leave the nursery and carry out their warrior duties. that's what Ivytail will do when her kits leave. some queens decide to stay in the nursery and take care of other kits. When warriors become too old to work, they retire and become elders. Medicine cats learn about different types of medicine, and take care of sick or injured cats. Medicine cats also share tongues with StarClan The whole clan is leaded by the leader and Deputy. When the leader dies, the Deputy is given nine lives by StarClan and leads his or her clan. Starclan is where our Warrior ancestors go when they die."
It took Kai a couple of minutes to process what Littlecloud said. is StarClan really real? will they come speak to me in a dream? His slow thought process finally sorted itself out when Blackstar came to the highledge. "Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet at the Highledge for a clan meeting." all of the cats gathered around Blackstar.
"It is time time ShadowClan needs five new apprentices. Smallkit, Shadekit, Vinekit, Falconkit, and Kai, will you join me under the highledge." Kai pushed through the crowd to join Blackstar.
"Kits, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time you have become apprentices. Smallkit, Shadekit, Vinekit, Falconkit, and kai, from this point until you earn your Warrior name, you will be known as Smallpaw, Shadepaw, Vinepaw, Falconpaw, and Blazepaw."
"Smallpaw! Shadepaw! Vinepaw! Falconpaw! Blazepaw!" The Clan Chanted. Blazepaw felt a sense of pride, even though he barely knows these cats. He also noticed that some cats weren't chanting his name. Probably don't like Outsiders.
"Olivenose, you are ready for an apprentice. You have shown great courage and strength. You will mentor Smallpaw."
Olivenose made her way to Smallpaw and touched noses with him.
"Littlecloud, It is time you have mentored another medicine cat, since Flametail tragically drowned two moons ago. You will mentor Shadepaw."
Littlecloud did the same as Olivenose.
"Rowanclaw, you have shown great responsibility as my Deputy. You will mentor Vinepaw."
Same procedure.
Blackstar then called Owlclaw to mentor Falconpaw.
"Blazepaw, you challenged me earlier for the perfect mentor, and i have found one for you. I will mentor you."
Blackstar leaped from the highledge and touched noses with Blazepaw.
Blazepaw looked at him in interest as other cats murmured in shock and disbelief. Has Blackstar never mentored an apprentice?
Blackstar called off the meeting.
Now was Blazepaw's time to lead his new life as a Warrior of ShadowClan.
I forgot my disclaimer in the last chapter Warriors and ninjago do not belong to me. Warriors belongs to Erin Hunter and Kate Carry. Ninjago belongs to Lego.
