~Once A Kittypet Always A Kittypet ~ (FIREPAW AU)

Chapter 1: The finding...

^Firepaw (book 1) AU^

Firepaw sniffed the air, looking for mice on his solo apprentice mission as he called it. His stomach growled furiously, demanding food. Firepaw moved himself uncomfortably. His fur plinked. HE HAD to feed his clan first. He sighed. As he crouched down. He smelled the scent of two-legs. He started to trot away. When a twig snapped behind his back. He hissed before turning around. "Who are-!" He's stopped mid sentence when he stared up at his old Homefolk. He kept his hissing but soften his gaze slightly. The two-leg squealed in happyiness as tears rolled down her face. Firepaw stood confused, did she love him that much.. She picked up Firepaw. Putting his on a collar, a new one. That said 'Rusty'. Firepaw felt an wave of disbelief and shock fill him. He got token away. The clan cats will think he purposely did it. He felt a wash of guilt. They entered Two-leg place. He felt a sense of nostalgia. He stared at the house where Smudge lived. Smudge stared at him with a surprised face. "What are you doing back?.." Smudge purred as his homfolk carried him. "They found me...when I was hunting.." he grumbled. Smudge smirked as Rusty got carried away and sent down in the house. He looked around a bit uneasy with the new environment he had to adapt to again until. BARK! He got startled. "AH-" he said. Before 3 puppies coming running to him, they barked and tipped to eachother. He looked at their collars as he managed to make out the names. The Grey dog who was small with little green eyes, named 'Scruffy', a Little golden retriever named 'biscuit' and a small black and white dog named Zipper. He looked at them as he towered, looking down at them. He felt his face turn into slight disgust, as he flicked his tail and walk off. The puppies faces turned to disappointment. He couldn't help but feel a slight pity before walking off. He had scratches on his body, as well as ticks. He heard his Home-folk booking an appointment to the vet. *'the cutter...'* he thought to himself before jerking. He looked out at the sky, watching from his window, as his collar uncomfortably hung on his neck. It was strange feeling. He sighed as he spotted grey paw in the deep part of the woods, searching for him. He felt another wash of guilt as he watched him call out his old name faintly. "FIREPAW? FIREPAW??..where are you..." Greypaw called out. Rusty quickly jumped down the window cill. He sighed in a slight misery. He trotted with his head down, towards his bed. He laid his head down. Looking at the ceiling. His homefolk turned the lights off. He longed the sound of the grasshoppers. He looked to his right seeing a nightlight, the nightlight had a red button on it. He quietly got down from his bed, he trotted to the light on the shelf. The wooden floor making a 'CREEKKK' sound. He put his paw on the button. He pushed it down. The top of the light turned on. He looked up at the ceiling, it made starts light up on the ceiling. He looked fascinated with the stars. He saw them before. But these were lights, from a machine. They were a golden yellow that shined on his fur. He laid on his bed. Closing his eyes. And sleeping sooner than he thought.
