Chapter 1

Sienna sat across from her dish, while she was waiting for her wet food she knew that soon, she wouldn’t be needed anymore and just like some of the other kittypets she knew she would be kicked out of the house “My twolegs aren’t gonna need me anymore I guess.” Soon her wet food was poured into her bowl and she ate it up in hungry gulps.

After eating she decided to leave her twolegs. “I hope I’ll manage No! I know I’ll manage!” She meowed to herself before running out the back door “alright now where should I go?” She thought to herself “I...I’ll head to the forest. M...Maybe it’ll be safe?” She ran toward the trees and kept on pace until it started getting dark. She managed to find a bush to shelter in, once she settled in she fell asleep.

The next morning she woke up ready to continue her journey away from her twolegs. She kept her pace until she heard the bushes rustling she looked around with neck fur bristling then she felt weight on top of her she was pinned to the ground with a cat’s face snarling at her and more cat’s surrounding the area.

“Dustpelt get off her.” A handsome orange Tom meowed. “Ugh fine.” meowed the cat that was pinning her down before getting off her. Sienna stared at the fire pelted tom with bristling fur “who are you?” She growled. “My name is Firestar, leader of Thunder-clan.” He meowed calmly. “W...What? What do you mean?” Sienna meowed. 

“Don’t worry we won’t hurt you, right Dustpelt?” Firestar meowed. The dark brown warrior just rolled his eyes and grunted. “Anyways I’ll explain everything later right now I want you to come with us, okay?” Sienna sighed and flattened her fur. “Okay,” She murmured. She followed Firstar through the forest until they came to an opening with a lake on the side.

Once they made it to the camp the cats pushed their way in and Firestar jumped up onto the highledge. “Can all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!!” Soon enough cats came around and gathered beneath where Firestar was. “Cats of Thunder-clan” He began. “I hope you can acknowledge that we have a new cat here.” He meowed.

The cats that were gathered where Firestar was turned around and stared at Sienna in dismay. Sienna kept her head down, embarrassed by all the cats looking at her. “Come closer, I want to know your name.” Firestar meowed as Sienna looked up. While the cats glared at her, Sienna slowly started walking up towards Firestar and stared up at him. “My name is Sienna,” She murmured. 

“Alright sienna you have a choice either you can join thunder-clan and live as a warrior or you can live the life as a rogue and be chased out of our territory, I hope you choose wisely.” Meowed Firestar.  “You’re gonna let a stranger join our clan!?” Shrieked an old dusky brown she-cat.  Angry yowls of agreement sound beside the she cat. Firestar signaled with his tail for silence and turned to the she-cat “Mousefur. I know she’s not born a warrior but don’t forget that I used to be a kittypet too.” Meowed Firestar.

Sienna stared up at Firestar with a surprised look. “He used to be a kittypet!?” Thought Sienna. “But if she joins the clan, who will train her?” Meowed a golden brown tabby tom. Firestar turned to a long-haired white tom who was looking down at his paws. “Cloudtail? Will you train her?"

“m...me?” Meowed cloudtail. “Yes, I want you to train her into a warrior, can you do that?” 

“I’ll do my best Firestar.” Meowed Cloudtail. “Ha!! I bet she doesn’t even know how to fight right now.” Meowed Dustpelt. Sienna felt her neck fur rise as the dark brown tabby tom started circling her. “You think just because i’m not like you that I can't fight?” Hissed Sienna. Dustpelt let a low growl. “You don’t belong here!!” hissed dustpelt as he launched himself at sienna.

Sienna ducked down, slid under him, quickly turned around, jumped on him, and pinned him down. Dustpelt stared up at her in dismay, Sienna was breathing heavily tired from the move she used. “Next time you better think about what you say before you say it. You got that?” Hissed Sienna. “Yes” Murmured Dustpelt. “Good.” Sienna released Dustpelt and licked her forepaw while Dustpelt backed away. All the cats stared at her in dismay. “Ahem, anyway what is your choice sienna?”  Meowed Firestar.

“I’ll join your clan and become a warrior.” Meowed Sienna while licking her forepaw. “Alright then ahem, I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat, she will learn hard to uphold your code and I commence to you her a warrior in her turn, Sienna? Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and fight for your clan even at the cost of your life?” Meowed Firestar. “I...I do.” Meowed Sienna.

“Then I give you your warrior name, from now until you pass on to starclan you will be known as NightShade, for your Confidence and your loyalty.”

Chapter 2

Only a little poke in the side woke NightShade up. “Nightshade? Wake up! It’s time for our training.” Meowed Cloudtail. “Alright I'm coming.” meowed sienna. It was her first time sleeping in the warrior's den since she got her warrior name. Firestar told her about the clans, the warrior code,  starclan, and his friend graystripe. “It’s a lot different than home but that’s fine.” Thought Nightshade. “You know some of the apprentices would wanna learn that move you did to dustpelt.” Meowed cloudtail.  

“I’m sure you’ll make a fine warrior.” he meowed. “T...Thanks.” meowed Nightshade. After a while of training and hunting, Nightshade was summoned by Firestar. “Hello, Nightshade please come in” “You already know that every full moon the clans all meet for a gathering right?” Meowed Firestar. “Yeah?” “Well I’ve been thinking about who I was gonna bring and I’m gonna let you come because I’ve heard from

cloudtail that

you’ve made a lot of progress on training.” Meowed Firestar.  “R...Really?” “Yes, anyways you can go now.” 

At the gathering, Nightshade smelled lots of different smells. She was able to find a seat beside Cloudtail and waited for the gathering to start. “We meet beneath silverpelt commanded by the truce of the full moon” Called onestar. “That must be the leader of windclan.” Thought Nightshade. Then the cats all heard a rustling in the bushes, the wind clan cats started surrounding the bushes.

Nightshade heard Firestar yell “STOP!!” The windclan cats froze and Firestar moved in between onestar and tornear. “G...Graystripe!?” he meowed. Nightshade moved in beside Firestar and looked at the cat he was staring at. “Graystripe?” Thought Nightshade. The gray tom was looking straight back at Firestar. But there was another cat beside him, a silver-gray tabby she-cat.
