" You should bow in front of Bluestar!" whisper Graypaw hastily. Rust looked at both cats and against his better judgement bowed his head like Graypaw. The blue molly looked at Rust but it felt like she gazed through him. Her fur laid flat, ears forward and tail laid flat to the ground only the tip was twitching. The gray tom was different.The tom was not looking at Rust but at Graypaw. The tom's muzzle was scared and both ears torn. His lips drown back in a hiss, tail going back and forth. Graypaw looked at the tom fearfully, like the tom was about to attack.
Sensing Rust confusion Graypaw leaned closer to him. " Bluestar is the molly. she's the leader of my clan. The tom name is Thistleclaw, My mentor. Don't make-" A snarl from Thistleclaw interrupting him. Graypaw crouch lower to the ground. Rust looked at both cats sizing them up, seeing if they had any weakness that he could see. But both cats didn't have any that he could see, especially Bluestar. " We should chase him off with a scar, as for Graypaw he clearly needs to be punished if he can get beaten by a kitten." Thistleclaw snarled
Bluestar lips curled up to reveal razor sharp teeth. She stepped in front of Rust and Graypaw. "He will not be punished for losing a fight Thistleclaw. As you can cleary see this kittien despite his age as been in many fights. who are you and what creature gave a kitten sure scars?" Bluestar asked with such kindness the it caught Rust of guard. Rust looked at his pelt, scar on both of his sizes. Some long and some small. Rust know that his ears were also scared as well even if he could't see them he could feel them,
" My brother gave me them before he disappeared. my name is Rust." Rust meowed looking at Bluestar. Bluestar held power over Thistleclaw and Graypaw that Rust wished he had. She looks like the molly my brother told me about before he left. Rust thought " By any change did you see a very tiny black tom with one white paw two moons ago? He woud look about the size of a kitten but he's is 10 moon older then me." Rust asked. Bluestar looked sad at the monument of the tiny tom but shook her head." There was a tom that looked like that cat. he passed by here and we made sure he left our territory." she mewed softy . " why do you ask?"
" That's my bother. he went here and never came home. he gave me the scars for trying to come in the forest." Rust looked at Graypaw be going on" Graypaw said he was from Trunderclan. i would like to join your clan, Graypaw said you were the leader." Rust hared a grasp from besides him. Graypaws eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Thistleclaw step forward " are you mad kittypet? let you join, you wont make it a moon with us. you don't have warrior blood, you are too soft to make it the clans. Bluestar let me chase him off so we can be on our way. my apprentice needs battle training." Thistleclaw shot a gare at Graypaw, who looked at the ground. " now Garypaw got this lump of fur out of here!" Thistleclaw shot out at a paw at Rust, who showed his teeth at the gray tom.
Graypaw still looked in disbelief. He shook his and spoke. " Bluestar I agree with my mentor. Even though he did beat me in a fair fight he is still a kittypet. A kittypet can't be a warrior no matter how hard they try. I'm sorry Rust but that's how it is." Rust back away from Graypaw, hurt showing in is eyes
Bluestar stood watching in deep thought. " I say we give him a chance. Shodwclan has been seen on our border more often." Looking at Rust she continued. " Give your answer to Thistleclaw at sunhigh tomorrow, that is if you still want to join. There will be a test if you do come to camp." flicking her tail the three cats got to their paw and left Rust alone
there is only one answer to give Rust thought YES
raven2002: yes Bluestar and Okaheart are mates but they don't see each other anymore, and Thushpelt is just done with Thistleclaw that is why he was so mean to Spottedleaf. for some reason when I uploaded the chapter it didn't upload it all. So I rewrite the end of the chapter
