I'm going to this story in two POVs: Hawk, the kittypet, and Fawnpaw, a warrior apprentice. You'll know why later...

Chapter 1: Hawk

Hawk was eight moons old, a dark brown tabby, nice guy, and had been a kittypet his whole life. His owner's name was Jenny, and she was nice to him. He had a sister named Misty. The three of them had moved from a small town in the country to a city near a lake. Hawk was allowed to go outside so he met other cats, mostly other kittypets.

"Are you enjoying city life, Hawkie?" Jenny asked. The cats could understand her, but she couldn't understand them.

I guess. I liked the open area of the country, but there's more cats in the city. He remembered a cat he'd met named Rex. He was nice to Hawk, but he was lazy and fat.

"I preferred the country," Misty said. They used to have a brother, but he died when he was two moons old because of greencough. His name was Leo, and Hawk constantly thought about what his life would be like if Leo was still alive.

"Me too," Hawk agreed. There were lots of dangers here, like being hit by a monster or being stolen by Twoleg kits. And while he had been talking with Rex, he found out that there were "Clan" cats here who would eat a kittypet like him in one bite.

Night was falling, and both Hawk and Misty went to their dens to sleep. Hawk had a strange dream. Dozens of cats were dying, being killed by starvation and the loss of a home. They lived in the wild, and had to hunt for their prey. No Twoleg was there to protect them. Instead, the Twolegs were destroying them by building a new mall. Why would they do such a thing? Hawk wondered

"Not all Twolegs are good, you know. Some do bad things to the environment."

"Leo? Is that you?" Hawk asked, not believing his ears. Sure enough, a striped orange tabby was standing beside him. "How is this possible?" Hawk asked.

"This is a dream, Hawk," Leo told him.

A dream? My dreams are filled with tuna and yarn, not cats dying! Why am I seeing this? I'm just a normal cat! "Why are you showing me this?" Hawk asked his long lost brother.

"It is your destiny," Leo said.

"What does that mean?" Hawk asked.

"You will find out... Eventually."

"Why are you being so confusing?" Hawk wanted to know. But Leo wouldn't... or couldn't give him an answer. He just smiled knowingly and suddenly disappeared. A few minutes later, Hawk woke up. It was still nighttime. "Oh well," he said, and fell back asleep.

The next morning, Hawk told Misty about his dream. "I saw Leo!"

"But he's dead," she said, confused.

"Well he told me it was my destiny," Hawk said.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know. But I want to find out."

Suddenly Hawk remembered what Rex had told him about the Clan cats. Was it possible that they were the cats in his dream? The brave, strong, kittypet eating Clan cats were dying? "I suppose it could be possible," he decided.

"What?" Misty asked.

"Nothing," Hawk told her. He didn't want to scare his sister by telling her about the Clan cats! This was his problem, not hers. I will help the cats in trouble! he thought. Without saying anything to Misty, he jumped out of aan open window and headed towards the lake. That was where the Clan cats lived. "I'll save you!" Hawk cried. None of the Clans heard him; it was just to make himself feel better, because right now he didn't feel very heroic. If they are him, he'd never be able to save them. Maybe I should go back home. It's not my problem. But then remembering Leo, he realized it was his problem.

So he had to try.

QOTD: Do you think Hawk is too much like Rusty? Will he end up being the next Firestar? I'm trying not to let that happen, so tell me if he's too much like the ThunderClan leader.
