YES!!! I was finally am apprentice! I know I'm gonna be the best warrior ever! I paused for a second, however. Why had Bluestar allowed me to come out here? Hm... I get the feeling that it was a test somehow... Anyway, I was here to hunt, not daydream. Suddenly, I caught a strange scent. For a second I was unsure, then it came to me. It was an intruder! 

Slowly, I stalked to where the scent was coming from. It was a young kitten, with bright orange fur. This would be easy! Plus, I bet no other 'paw beat an enemy on their first day! I gave a battle cry and charged to the kitten. It looked up, startled. I ran at it and clawed it. Up close, I realized it was a tom. He ran off, but I chased him, to make sure he stayed away. That's when something I did not expect happened.

He turned around, and I crashed head on into him. I realized this kittypet was a bit tougher than what I had previously thought. Also, I'd never heard of a kitty turning around. I made sure to let him know, too. I licked my paw and dragged it over my ears. The kitty was still tense, but he relaxed. For a second it was tempting to attack, but I knew there was no honor in that. We talked for a bit, and all the while I was thinking what a mouse brain this cat was.

Suddenly, I caught scent of older warrior. " Get out of here!" I hissed, but I was too late. Bluestar and Lionheart padded out from the forest. While Bluestar was mainly interested in Rusty ( Which he had said was his name ), she did compliment me on how I handled the situation. It felt good, hearing that from my leader. Suddenly, my blood turned cold when Rusty said " But I'm only hear to hunt a mouse or two. Surely there's enough to go around?" Bluestar hissed at him, and I saw the fear in his eye. Thankfully, he managed to say the right words to apologize.

Ad then once again, my night grew stranger. Bluestar looked at him, and told him what I had been thinking all along--He was an unusual kittypet.

I had not expected Bluestar  to invite him to join though! Shocked, I said " But he's not wild born! He doesn't have warrior blood! " Bluestar seemed to react sadly, but she still allowed him to join. He said he'd have his answer the next day at sun - high, and together me and the older cats padded back to camp....
