Chapter 1

"Wait up, y/a/n!" You hear a loud mew from behind you. You twist your head around to see Graypaw, panting, desperately trying to keep up with you. You part your jaws, smiling and blink at him. Narrowing your eyes, you whip you head around and thrust yourself forward, grunting. You honestly don't know where you're going, since it's your first time out of camp. You're continue to sprint blindly through the undergrowth, ears pricked for any noises. You're on your first patrol with Graypaw, his mentor Lionheart, and your leader Bluestar. Your mentor Darkstripe couldn't come because he was busy helping Spottedleaf, the medicine cat gather herbs. Focusing on taking long, steady breaths, you feel yourself slow down aware that the border was coming up. You want to prove to Bluestar you knew what you were doing. You're sprint becomes a canter, becomes a trot, and you skirt next to a tree close by.
You watch as Graypaw emerges from the shrubbery, purring with amusement. You stride up to him, muzzle to muzzle, staring into each other's eyes. A grins appears on you face. "I beat you." You stare at him mockingly. Your an Graypaw were littermates, and were always trying to beat each other at anything. You see a flash of playfulness in Graypaw's eyes. You spin around, waving your tail in Graypaw's face. He sniffs, and pushes it away.
You stalk forward, almost walking into an oak tree. You looks up to see the thick branches of the oak. Excitement feels your stomach. "Bet i can make it to the top of this oak before you!" You spring upwards, sinking your claws into the think bark. You softly gasp once you realize the climb won't be as easy as it looks. You feel a little sting at the back of you're tail. You look back to see that Graypaw had silently stalked up to you, and had his jaws gently closed on your tail. "Don't you-" you cut yourself off with a quiet shriek and Graypaw yanks your tail lightly, causing you to fall but not pulling hard enough to hurt you. You feel Graypaw's jaws part so you're now able to move your tail freely, but just as he lefts go you feel yourself land on top of Graypaw, both of you letting out a loud oomph. You lift your head up to find your back legs splayed out while you chin rests in Graypaw's stomach. You pull yourself up into a sitting position and snort, amused. Graypaw looked as if a boulder had fallen on top of him and broken all his bones. "Oh come on, i'm not that heavy," you retort. "And stop making that dumb face." You can't help but purr. Graypaw blinked open his eyes, and rolled over into a crouch position. He stares accusingly at you, and begins to groom his ruffled fur. "Don't give me that looks, you're the one who pulled me," you mumble. "And i'm still going to beat you to the top of the tree!"
You stand up and whip around, and leap up, digging your claws into the oak. This time you know how much leg strength to use, and finally pull yourself up to the nearest branch. You leap from branch to branch, sometimes having to claw your way up the trunk. Leaves whip you in the face as your jump higher and higher, but you ignore them. You finally leap onto the highest branch. Your excitement turns into disappointment as you realize you climbed the lowest tree in the entire forest. "Mouse-dung! I can't see anything!" you hiss. You look down to see where Graypaw was. You couldn't see him through the foliage. "Graypaw?" you call out. No reply.
"Grayp-" you're cut off as an ear splitting yowl echos through the forest. "Graypaw!" You're heart begins to pound wildly as you scamper down through the foliage, nearly falling down onto the grass. Once your reach the lowest branch, you hear a noise, like a hhuuffff. Graypaw! You jump onto the ground, just in time to see Graypaw racing out of the clearing and back into the undergrowth towards the border. You hear one more yowl, before finally catching up  to Graypaw.
You spot him sitting, facing a ginger tom-cat with green eyes. Not a clan cat. You notice the collar around his neck. Kittypet. You realize Graypaw is speaking to the kittypet, so you pad behind him silently.
"...dare come near us then!" The kittypet didn't look threatened, just a bit shaken.
"Who's this, Graypaw?" you ask. Graypaw jumped up, along with the kittypet who seems to not have noticed you.
Graypaws fur flattened out as he looked you y/a/n. "Oh, hi y/a/n. This is..." he glanced at the kittypet. The kittypet's fur was bushed up, his eyes wide. "Don't worry, he's no threat." Graypaw reassured, sitting back down. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Rusty..." the ginger tom spoke hesitantly, though his fur layer flat on his shoulders.
"Right, this is Rusty, Graypaw continued looking back at y/a/n. "He puts up quite a fight for a kittypet," Graypaw purred. You sit next to Graypaw, staring at the bell on the kittypet's collar.
"Right... so you're a kittypet." Y/a/n mumbles awkwardly. You look up into Rusty's eyes, which were a magnificent leaf-green hue. You stare into them for a moment longer, before you hear paw steps approaching. Your ears prick up, and you twist your head to the left. Out from behind a tree emerges a sleek, blue-gray she-cat. Y/a/n's eyes widen at the sight of your leader. Y/a/n had completely forgotten about the thunderclan leader. "Bluestar!"
