ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤChapter 2 - Thunderclan at last!

ㅤ

Firepaw looks around camp with Graypaw, still curious about her newfound life of becoming a fully fledged clan member, a clan cat of this forest. In her bloodline, nobody became a clan cat, and she's the first, which puts up her ego a bit.

ㅤ

She walks around with Graypaw, curious about the cats around, so Graypaw names out their names.

"You clearly ruined Longtails good looks, that's for sure! I'm impressed, kittypet!" Graypaw mewls, as he sits down with Firepaw.

Firepaw wipes some beads of sweat off her face, remembering her tough battle with that cat called Longtail.

"So, where did he go anyways? I mean, that Longtail cat." Firepaw says, as Graypaw replies with, "Probably to our medicine cat Spottedleaf, she helps in healing and herbal medicine." Firepaw looks at Sandpaw, she rolled her eyes and looked away, padding off somewhere else.

Then Firepaw looks at a big dark, yellow eyed warrior, he is slowly approaching menacingly and quietly. Firepaw feelings a shiver down her spine as he sits down in front of the 2 apprentices.

"Your lucky your collar broke when it did, kittypet." He says, his voice cold, looking down at Firepaw, who is currently and instinctively pushing her body against the dirt below her.

Firepaw's ear are pinned back in a sense of some kind of scolding. "That's Darkstripe, Firepaw.." Graypaw quietly says, looking at the dark warrior. "Longtail is quite young, but I never thought he would ever be beaten by a small, puny kittypet." He says, getting closer.

It made Firepaw feel uneasy, before Darkstripe turns around and he walks away, grumbling about something.

Graypaw sighs of relief and looks at Firepaw, giving her a reassuring look. Graypaw nudges her lightly, speaking up, "Don't worry, Darkstripe wouldn't hurt you, I'm sure of it."

Firepaw relaxes, and she looks at a particular black cat, going through the bushes and rocks fast, like he's in a hurry. The cat is blurry as he goes through, but he's there.

ㅤ

Then...

ㅤ

The small black cat with green eyes pops out of the bushes, Cut and slightly matted with some half-dried blood. he is breathing heavily, panting, and he looks scared, frightened of something. The clan cats around notice, and they wonder what happened. They start talking to one another almost immediately.

"That's Ravenpaw, but... what happened.. Where's Tigerclaw and the others?" Graypaw says, voice dripping with concern as he looks at Ravenpaw's pitiful form. Some cats start talking about where the patrol is. "Where is the patrol, and where's Tigerclaw?" Many cats meow, looking at Ravenpaw.

Bluestar stops talking to a golden she-cat and pads over to Ravenpaw, Concerned about his well-being. Whitestorm also approaches, coming closer.

"What happened, Ravenpaw?" Bluestar says, as she watches Ravenpaw hesitate. "Ravenpaw, calm down.." Bluestar says, as Ravenpaw finally speaks up. "B-Bluestar, Redtail.. He's.. He's Dead!"

Some of thunderclan gasp, Shocked about this information. "Redtail is dead?" Bluestar says, with Ravenpaw hesitating heavily. "Y-yes, he.." Ravenpaw slowly faints, bleeding. Ravenpaw gets caught by Bluestar and Whitestorm.

"Whitestorm, get him to Spottedleaf. He's hurt." Bluestar meows, as Whitestorm nods and gets Ravenpaw to the medicine den for care.

"Hey, if I was there, I would have given them real wounds to cry about..!" Graypaw blurts out, and half the clan glances towards him, unamused. "heh.. right..?" Graypaw says, awkwardly chuckling.

He pouts. Some cats roll their eyes and they go back to what they were doing.

The clan is bustling with rumors and slight panic, worried about Tigerclaw and the whereabouts of the patrol led by him. Firepaw seems quite confused, but still concerned. Firepaw pads into the medicine den with Graypaw to see what's going on, and she finds Ravenpaw and Spottedleaf.

"Hey firepaw, what is it?" Spottedleaf says, putting cobweb and some herbs on Ravenpaw. "Nothing, I just wanted to see." Firepaw says, as she gets closer. She sits down near Ravenpaw.

Firepaw smiles a bit, before noticing some other warriors talking, It's Tigerclaw, and he came back from the battle of the patrols. "Oakheart killed Redtail, but redtails death wasn't in vain."

Tigerclaw goes into the medicine den, finding both Firepaw and Graypaw. "I've heard of you, kittypet." Tigerclaw says, giving her a cold stare as he goes to Spottedleaf for some cobweb and poultice.

Tigerclaw looks at the cats around with a stern expression as Spottedleaf tends to him.

"I don't know why Bluestar invited such a kittypet." Tigerclaw snarls, but Spottedleaf pushes on his wound unnecessarily. "Tigerclaw, She's just a new apprentice. Calm down." Spottedleaf meows, as the applies the poultice. Tigerclaw winces at the pain and rolls his eyes.

Firepaw smiles a bit at Spottedleaf, and she smiles and nods in return. Graypaw tugs at Firepaw, signaling her to go with him for a proper tour. Firepaw nods, going with him as they go for a look around the bustling clan.

TIME SKIP

Firepaw has been getting used to clan life, although the clan members around are harsh with her, especially Sandpaw. She's the worst of them all. She has been taunting her for a long time now. But, Firepaw has befriended Ravenpaw and Graypaw over time, and their already good friends.

Firepaw had been thinking of her old kittypet life, and had missed her littermates and family.

Firepaw was grooming herself in the clearing, letting the sun shine on her pretty fur. She's just keeping her fur clean and pretty as usual. Before Sandpaw finds her sunbathing and grooming.

"hey kittypet!" Sandpaw snorts, as Firepaw sighs. "What is it, cat got your tongue?" Sandpaw says, voice dripping with some venom. "Be quiet, Sandpaw!" Graypaw says, coming over to Firepaw's side. "Go somewhere else, Sandpaw! We don't need you here." Graypaw spat, slightly bristling.

"Or what? Your gonna totally rip my fur off?" Sandpaw says, letting out a mrrrow of laughter at me and Graypaw. "Enough, Sandpaw." Whitestorm says, coming over to Sandpaw, scolding her.

"Okay, fine. I won't tease them anymore." Sandpaw says, sighing and looking to the side. "It's okay, Firepaw. Let's go." Graypaw says, getting him and Firepaw to a better spot in the sun.

"Hey guys." Ravenpaw says, nervously. "Hey Ravenpaw." Firepaw smiles a bit at Ravenpaw, making him slightly flustered. Ravenpaw sits down near Firepaw. "So, how are you guys?" Firepaw says, as both of the toms reply, "Were doing good so far. Apprenticeship is goin' good." Graypaw says. "Yeah, but.. I've been doing the same.." Ravenpaw says, with some nervousness.

Firepaw notices this and approaches him in a good talk, at least, she tried. "Hey, what's going on Ravenpaw? Are you okay?" Firepaw says, as Ravenpaw feels nervous.

"yeah, well.. not really, my training with Tigerclaw is harsh, I guess." Ravenpaw says, as Graypaw rolls his eyes. "Yeah, right. I could probably handle such training from Tigerclaw! He's not that bad." Graypaw says, making Firepaw give him a stern look.

"Okay, okay. I didn't mean to make it sound bad or anything." Graypaw snorts, making Firepaw sigh. I can't help but love this fool.

I get up, yawning. "I wonder if anyone is willing to go hunt." Firepaw says, as Graypaw gets up too. "Yeah, I'm really bored." Graypaw says, as Ravenpaw pads off into the medicine den.

Firepaw goes and asks some warriors to go hunt, but they refuse, sadly.

"Nothing, they don't wanna go hunting with a kittypet, that's for sure." Firepaw says to Graypaw, slightly defeated. Graypaw seems concerned and... has some anger in his eyes? "Oh, don't worry. We can hunt together!" Graypaw says, trying to brighten up Firepaw.

"But we can't, isn't that against the warrior code? To go hunt without a warrior when your an apprentice?" Firepaw meows, as Graypaw sighs. "Yeah. I guess.."

"We can just tour the place again, if you want!" Graypaw says, as he sits down. "ugh, okay. We can do that for like, the 5th time now." Firepaw says, as she gets up. Graypaw rolls his eyes and just gets up with Firepaw, padding around camp.

Another time skip, Firepaw has been getting used to clan life...

Firepaw yawns, letting the sunlight wake her up, as the other apprentices get up too, ready for training. Since Firepaw doesn't have a mentor, she talks to Bluestar about it, upset she doesn't have a mentor like all the other apprentices.

"Bluestar, I still don't have a mentor, whose gonna be my mentor?" Firepaw says, poking at some grass in the leaders den. "I know, Firepaw. Hmm, How about this: I could mentor you." Bluestar says, smiling at Firepaw.

Firepaw purrs, replying, "Oh sure! I would love that!" Bluestar nods. "But it's not gonna be easy, Firepaw. I'm not gonna go easy. We could start today later on." Bluestar says, as she gets up, padding out with her.

Firepaw is excited with training with Bluestar, and is looking forward to it, since Bluestar IS the leader, after all. Firepaw goes over to the prey pile, grabbing a juicy vole. She is quite hungry, after this weeks duties.

Firepaw bites into the vole hungrily. I can't believe I get to train with Bluestar, really. But.. I know it's not gonna be easy. I need to train hard to really become a warrior. Firepaw finishes the vole, wiping her lips of any remains or blood.

Then, Longtail bumps into her by accident while walking. "Ow, that hurt Longtail!" Firepaw says, rubbing her side. "Stop whining, Firepaw." Longtail spat. "You called me Firepaw, not kittypet anymore!" Firepaw says, purring.

Longtail smacks her head. "Don't let it get to your head, kittypet." Longtail says, rolling his eyes. He's slightly playful, and Firepaw notices it. So Firepaw tugs his tail, making him softly yowl. "I said don't get any ideas, kittypet!" Longtail grabs his tail, scooting away.

"Okay, okay. I won't bother you." Firepaw says, still chuckling. Longtail walks away, slightly confused about himself and his behavior. Graypaw came over, watching that funny ordeal.

"Hey, you really got you him that time!" Graypaw says, smirking. "Yeah, I did." Firepaw says, as she continues, "I'm gonna train with Bluestar, you can go."

"Woah, are you really being mentored by Bluestar?" Graypaw says, curious. Firepaw nods, replying, "I'm gonna go and train with her today, you can go for now Graypaw." Firepaw gets up, stretching for the upcoming training with Bluestar.

Graypaw groans. "Okay, I'll go. Don't expect me to believe that your actually being mentored by the leader." Graypaw meows, padding off. Firepaw sighs, going to the training grounds, ready to practice whatever Bluestar has in mind.

Firepaw finds Bluestar sitting down. "Hey, you came. Took you long enough, Firepaw." Bluestar says. Firepaw sits down across from Bluestar. "Well, what's first?" Firepaw says, and Bluestar replies, "Were gonna work on you battling, Firepaw."

"Ooh, okay. We can do that." Firepaw says. "Yes, we will be working on your other skills later on, Firepaw." Bluestar meows, getting up. "Okay, I want you to lunge at me." Bluestar says, and Firepaw gets in a position.

Firepaw slightly hesitates, and Bluestar takes notice. "Don't hesitate, Firepaw. I'm way more skilled than you think I am." Bluestar says, and Firepaw takes a deep breath, lunging for Bluestar. Firepaw gets dodged, and looks back at Bluestar's form.

"Come on, you gotta try harder." Bluestar says, as Firepaw gets her bearings and tries again, but faster. Bluestar almost gets caught, but still dodges it. "That's better, Firepaw. Now, we can move onto our other techniques."

Firepaw nods, watching intently. "Okay, I'm going to fight you. Not literally, but I'll practice with you." Bluestar says, as she prepares to lunge. Firepaw's eyes widen, as she predicts where she is going.

Bluestar lands on Firepaw, rolling her eyes. "Your too predictable. Try better, got it?" Bluestar says, getting off Firepaw. Firepaw gets up, nodding. "Okay, I'll try my best." Firepaw says, fixing her pounces and her techniques.

They do this for a while, and Firepaw is panting at the end of it. "There, that should do good for you for now, Firepaw. We will keep doing this for a few moons. And Don't let me down, Firepaw." Bluestar says, as Firepaw nods and takes in the information.

"Okay, I got it." She says as Bluestar dismisses Firepaw from their training. They both pad off, as Firepaw watches Bluestars retreating form. Firepaw shakes her head and goes into the apprentice den for some rest.

Firepaw goes to sleep in the apprentice den, sleeping in her own nest, near her friends Graypaw and Ravenpaw.
