Ginger skipped happily with the clancats back to this 'ThunderClan Camp'.

Just as they neared the edge of the camp, they heard a terrified call, yelling, "FOX!!!"

Without knowing exactly what she was doing, Ginger stormed inside the Camp hurling herself onto the bright orange creature of the canine family (And of course, she learnt what fox is and what the canine family was from Stella).

She unsheathed her tiny but sharp claws, leaped onto the big creature and gave it a blow of memorable scars. Then, she jumped in front of the fox's face and clawed it's triangular shaped ears while still in the air. Suddenly, at the corner of her eye, she saw the ruthless thing head toward another cat and get ready to give it a death blow, the cat seemed already injured, not fit to fight. So she dove in front of the cat. But a fatal scar from the Fox did not come as she had suspected, instead, when she opened her eyes, thinking she would be in kitten heaven, she saw a majestic white tom, a silver tabby she-cat and Lionleap pulled the fox away and the white tom giving mumble something to a couple of other cats to tell them to chase the fox away.

"Are you okay?" Lionleap said worriedly while picking her up by the scruff of her neck.

"Yeah, just-just a few scratches"

"You fought well, kit"

Ginger turned around and saw the same majestic white tom that saved her from the fox along with the silver tabby she-cat and Lionleap.

"Are you Icestar?" Ginger asked without any shyness.

"Yes I am. What's your name and where do you come from?"

"Ginger! I Lionleap, Whitepool, Sunpaw and the grey tom with amber eyes-"

"That's Mouseclaw" she heard Sunpaw whisper and Whitepool grumble, "I didn't want bring you back, it was Lionleap's Idea, she has bees flying and webs in her brain"

"-Mouseclaw brang me back!

"Why are you here?"

"Oh! I wanted to join ThunderClan!"

Silence.

Ginger looked upon Icestar. It seemed like he was considering it.

"I propose that all my senior warriors come with me to my den to discuss this."

Ginger tilted her head, "What is that supposed to mean?..." she leaned over to Sunpaw's side and whispered to her.

"That means that he is gathering up his most experienced and wise warriors to discuss it with them" Sunpaw whispers back

"Well, he uses fancy words..."

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Thunder Tree!"

Ginger jumped at Icestar's voice booming throughout the camp. What is happening now? This place is just purely weird!

"Today, while Lionleap, Mouseclaw, Whitepool and Sunpaw were on Sun-high patrol, they found this kittypet."

Ginger found all eyes on her. They are talking about me!

"She said that she wanted to join us."

Ginger heard many yowls of protests, but were all silenced when Icestar flicked his tail.

"She has shown her bravery and courage of having the spirit of a warrior when fighting the fox and sacrificing herself for Redpaw from it, showing selflessness. I have now decided to make her a member of ThunderClan." He leaned down to Ginger, "How old are you?"

"Umm...I think around 4 months"

"Hmm...Not old enough to be an Apprentice, but you can stay in the nursery, with the other kits, until you are six moons old." Icestar mumbled before making his voice loud again, "I, Icestar, leader of ThunderClan, called upon my warrior ancestors to approve my choice. This kittypet has fought selflessly with us and I will award her with a rank in ThunderClan. From now on, you shall be known as Emberkit."
