A looming body steps out from the darkness. His scent is very..strange. "Your a kittypet! What are you doing out here?" His voice booms over my thoughts. I can't do anything. I'm too scared to even move. But I notice one thing, he isn't from around my neighborhood. This..this is. "What are you looking at mouse-brain? Quite stalling and get outta here! Or else i'm taking you with me." I didn't move. My stubbornness showing its usefulness. I stood my ground. "Fine, you want to act tough? Come with me, i'm taking you to Dropstar." he mumbles and takes the lead. I am uncertain if I should follow. I do anyways.
Following along I am wondering who Dropstar is, and whats gonna happen to me in the future. Smells of all kinds waft up my nostrils as we head towards noise. All these scents are so unfamiliar. There must be a ton here. The forest cat crouches into a hole in the brush and slides on through. I stop for a second. If whats behind this brush, is my future then how am I gonna handle it? "Are you coming?" He growls. I hesitate, looking back I realize all that I am leaving behind. I don't care. I have made my choice. The familiar sentence comes back to me. I slip on through, following him.
I am overcome with what I see. Cats of all shapes and sizes and colors are hurrying about. Some stop and say hello, but not to me of course. I am probably a pile of rubbish to them. They are all huge and look so very powerful. Some of them are whispering. All I know is to follow this cat who busted me.

"Dropstar," He says, "I found a thief. She was taking a big mouse from our territory." My mouth drops open and I growl. "That's not true!" He turns to face me and he hisses. "Shut up or I will rip you to shreds!" I hold my glare firm on him. "Its not true." I say firmly. "Dropstar, she's lying, I mean who would believe a kittypet?" He said. Dropstar sort of growl- sighs. "Firesoul, leave so I can talk to this she cat." Dropstar says calmly. Firesoul looks at me before trotting off. A look of anger and hatred. Firesoul, that explains the flames in his attitude.
"Come with me" Dropstar walks over to a shady spot and motions for me to come. I inch forward steadily.
He looks me over a few times and nods. "What is your name young one?" He says to me. I don't say anything for a few heartbeats. My heart is pounding in my throat, making it hard to say anything at all. "Sapphire. My name is Sapphire." I finally manage to meow. His eyes are full of doubt. "And is it true you were stealing prey, Sapphire?" He says. "No!" I hiss. Oops, wrong thing to say. "Um I mean no, its not true." I say more calmly, my heart pumping as hard as ever. "What is your purpose here then? Why has Firesoul brought you to me?" I can sense cats staring at me from behind, but I ignore it. I sway on my paws unsteadily. My mouth suddenly goes dry. "My purpose here?" I meow dryly. Dropstar sends a questioning glance to me. I have to think fast, or he will send me home. "I didn't tell Firesoul this but, my purpose here is because I want to join your clan."
