Meanwhile, on the edge of the moor, a tall gray she-cat with black stripes and a dark gray she-cat with stubby legs were unconscious. The tall one sat up and shrieked when she looked at her paws.

"MINA!" Trina screamed. "MINA!"

"Huh?" the dark gray she-cat sat up and looked at her. "What's wrong, Trina?"

"LOOK AT ME!" Trina snarled. "I'm, like, furry and stuff!"

"Oh, yea. We're in the world of Warriors..." Mina responded.

"HOW?!" Trina hissed. "And what are you talking about?!"

"It's a book series" Mina answered. "About cats living in Clans."

"Oh" Trina still had a scowl on her kitty face. "Well, how do you know?"

"Well..."


Flashback!

Corey and Laney were pulling pranks on the Newmans, Kin was at home working on homework, and Trina was stalking Nick. Kon was waiting on the couch, a book in his hand.

"Hey Kon!"

"Mina!" Kon smiled as Mina took a seat. "Ready to continue reading Bramblestar's Storm together?"

"Certainly" Mina showed her book to Kon. "It was hard to head to the bookstore together when Trina needs you to help her all the time."

"Good thing she's stalking Nick!" Kon smiled. "Corey and Laney said they were going to prank the Newmans!"

"She still has a crush on Corey?" Kon nodded. Mina giggled and they proceeded to read.

After they finished the books, Kon threw his book in the air.

"SQUIRRELFLIGHT'S HAVING KITS!" Kon yelled. He started running around crazily.

"I never liked Squirrelflight" Mina said. "Poor Brackenfur though..."

"OH MY GOSH, CINDERHEART AND LIONBLAZE HAD KITS!" Kon yelled.

"That was awesome, I have to admit!" Mina smiled. "Do you think Hollypaw is a reincarnation?"

"Nope!" Kon said. "Why would she be?"

"Just a guess." Mina closed her book. "Great time reading with you."

"Same!" Kon shook her hand. "Tomorrow, we discuss some more?"

"Absolutely!" Kon left and Mina slumped on the couch. She wished she could have more time with Kon, he made her feel appreciated and wanted. Mina was happy because Kon was the wave that washed her insecurities away.


"...I read the series...on my free time" Mina said. That much was true.

"Hey, you two!"

"More cats!" Mina gasped. "Trina, this is WindClan!"

"OK? Er, hello WindClan" Trina said awkwardly. "BOW TO ME!"

"Take them to Onestar" the brown and white tom leading the patrol said. "Hootcry and Emberfoot."

Two of the cats surrounded Trina and Mina. Trina did not like this.

"OFF OF ME, FOOLS!" Trina slammed into Hootcry, but Emberfoot and two other cats pinned her.

"I won't fight back" Mina looked at the brown and white tom. "Promise."

"Hm, OK" the tom finally said. "I'm Harespring. Emberfoot, you three take the rebel she-cat back by force. You come with me."

Mina ducked her head and followed obediently.


"THUNDERCLAN! IT'S HERE!"

Kon was dancing around the camp while the others looked confused.

A golden-furred tom appeared from the warrior's den and stared at the eight cats.

"More rogues?!" the tom growled. "Jayfeather, we already brought enough cats from outside the Clans, do we really need more?"

"Yes!" Stormcloud answered, lashing his tail. "We certainly do!"

"Who said you could bring them here?"

Jayfeather lowered his head as a big brown tabby with amber eyes walked towards him.

"We need more cats" Stormcloud protested.

"But the other Clans will view us as desperate." Bramblestar growled. "I-"

"SOMEBODY GET ME SOME FRESH-KILL, NOW!" A demonic voice screamed from the Nursery.

"Who was that?" Carrie shuddered.

"Squirrelflight" Molewhisker sighed. "I'll take care of it, Bramblestar."

"OK, thank you" Bramblestar muttered. "I suppose they can learn to be warriors."

"YES! I mean...cool." Stormcloud's eyes adverted to Carrie for a split second, then turned. Carrie felt her paws burn.

Why does he look at me like that?

"We get to be WARRIORS!" Kon shouted, suddenly he looked down and frowned.

"What's wrong, Kon?" Konnie asked.

"Wishing somebody was here with me..." Kon said sadly.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey come here!" Bramblestar meowed.

All sorts of cats came to the center. Kon began squealing all the names of the warriors. A tortoiseshell she-cat glared at Laney, who returned the glare.

Jayfeather whispered their names in Bramblestar's ear before walking down the rock, Bramblestar's eyes wandered across the eight new faces.

"Kim, come here. Do you promise to show loyalty to ThunderClan and learn its ways?"

"I do"

"Then by the power of StarClan you are now Mothpaw, your mentor will be Blossomfall."

"Touch noses with her" a cat whispered. Kim came up to Blossomfall and they touched noses.

Konnie became Acornpaw and was given Rosepetal as a mentor, Larry became Beetlepaw and was given Berrynose as a mentor, and Kin became Lizardpaw and was given Mousewhisker as a mentor.

"Carrie, you are now Skypaw. Your mentor will be Millie. Mille, I trust you give your great skills to this cat." Bramblestar said.

Carrie bared her teeth and lashed her tail.

Why did he give me a stupid kittypet as a mentor?! Wait...how do I know what a kittypet is again?

Carrie looked at Millie, whom was waiting for her to touch noses with her. Carrie growled and did so reluctantly.

Kon was happy to be given his warrior name Bigpaw, and was given to Birchfall.

"Laney, you are now known as Adderpaw. Whitewing, I hope you pass down your experience and kindness to Adderpaw." Bramblestar purred. "Corey, come here."

Corey rubbed his head briefly against Laney's before standing before Bramblestar.

"Corey, you are now known as Soulpaw. I will mentor you myself."

"Soulpaw! Adderpaw! Bigpaw! Lizardpaw! Skypaw! Beetlepaw! Mothpaw! Acornpaw!"

The whole Clan cheered. Two warriors picked up some fresh-kill for the elders before the new apprentices ran to the pile.

"THIS. IS. AWESOME!" Corey cheered. "I want the rabbit, the thrush-"

"Back off, losers!"

Hollypaw, Fernpaw, and Sorrelpaw shoved themselves between Kin and Larry and took a good amount of fresh-kill.

"I am not eating rabbit!" Laney said. "They're-"

"Dead" Carrie growled before tugging a rabbit. "C'mon, Larry, let's share this."

Larry purred and followed Carrie.

"Listen Laney, I know they're cute and fluffy, but there isn't much choice. I'll help you." Corey took a mouse and wrapped his tail around Laney's.

Laney smiled and followed Corey.


"Will he wake up?

"Is he alive?"

"He's kinda cute, I can't lie..."

Nick woke up surrounded by cats. He looked at his hands-turned-paws and looked back up at the cats.

"Rowanstar?" a tortoiseshell she-cat meowed. "He's waking up!"

"Huh? Nick Mallory is confused" Nick got up, surprising the cats.

A small tabby tom approached Nick.

"Hello, my name is Littlecloud. Are you alright?" the tom asked.

"Hmm, yeah. I just want to know where I'm at?" Nick felt himself collapse by the weight of something jumping on him.

"Hazelkit! Rainkit! Stay off him!" a cream-furred she-cat said. "Sorry, Nick Mallory."

"S'all right." Nick said. "What were you saying Littlecloud?"

"Oh yes, ShadowClan..." Littlecloud whispered.
