The Road To A Warrior (Book 1)

Chapter 5: Adoption

I would be VERY appreciative if someone could juz at least comment "good work." or even "yay!!!". Plz lah:D Still, enjoy the story!

This story is inspired by Warriors, an awesome series by Erin Hunter:)

Chapter 5:

Fuzzy woke from her sleep. It had been hard sleeping well, and she dragged her paws in sadness. She buried Patch and Mittens together and wept quietly. "Hope you'll be happy... wherever you are now.""

Fuzzy heard her stomach growl. She had now eaten anything since yesterday in the morning. She smelt squirrel and decided to catch it. Unknown to her, a pair of eyes were watching her in the shadows...

The squirrel was still, munching on an acorn. Fuzzy crouched down and before the squirrel could even move an inch, she pounced on it, and neatly made the kill. The cat was impressed, the kit was young, but was great at hunting, perhaps as good as a senior warrior.

Fuzzy sensed a presence near her. If it was a dog again... Her fur perked up. "Who is it?" she growled, trying to hopefully scare whoever it was. The cat knew if he did not ask her now, he might lose the chance.

He stepped out of the trees and approached Fuzzy. He was a strong-looking brown tom. Fuzzy mewed, "Who are you?"

"I'm Clawstar, leader of LightClan. I saw how you hunted and wish to invite you into my Clan. Your name?"

"Fuzzy. But clan? What's that?"

"Basically, a group of cats who look out for each other, and live together as one. I see you are alone. We can provide you a home, and in return, you can train and hunt as one of us. So how about it?"

"Um... okay..."

"Excellent. Follow me to see how it looks like."

The duo went deep into the forest and into an area full of cats. There were many dens and even more cats. Fuzzy could smell many types of leaves and hear many cats whispering about her.

"It's a kit! Wonder what Clawstar is going to do with her..."

"Redstripe! Come here!" Clawstar called out to a russet she-cat who was within range. She saw him and Fuzzy and swiftly came to his side. "Oh, she's sooo cute,"she mewed, nudging Fuzzy gently.

"I want to adopt her into LightClan. She has just lost her family and has superb hunting skills. She could do well as a warrior. And the clan needs more apprentices too. What do you think, Redstripe?" Clawstar said.

"I say go for it! She's such a cutie, don't you think?" Redstripe agreed fully.

"She's still a kit, so let's give her a kit name together with those four other kits in the nursery."

"Who will adopt her?"

"I'll ask Flowerheart. She seems to be happy as a queen. One more kit to look after will interest her."

Fuzzy was silent throughout the whole conversation. Was she meant to really be a Clan cat? She could not help remembering what the starry cat in her dreams had said. She would save cats... the clan?

Clawstar leapt up the Highrock. "Cats of LightClan, as many of you have seen, I have brought back a kit, Fuzzy, in need. She wishes to be trained and serve LightClan as a warrior. She has hunting skills comparable to a senior warrior and could become a valuable asset to LightClan. I wish to welcome her as a kit in our Clan. Any objections?"

The Clan looked at Fuzzy. She did look promising. And if it was Clawstar's wish, she could become a warrior. They nodded their heads in agreement.

"Very well. Fuzzy shall now be known as Fuzzykit and shall stay in the nursery until she is six moons old. Thank you." Clawstar plunged down to the ground and went into his den.

Fuzzy- no, Fuzzykit- was slightly confused. She was a Clan cat now?

Suddenly, a light tabby she cat and a ginger tom about her age came to her in excitement.

"I'm Wildkit!"

"And I'm Sandkit!"

"We're going to be your adoptive littermates!"

A tabby she-cat came forward and mewed, "Hello Fuzzykit. I'm Flowerheart and I'll take care of you now. Let's get you into your nest, and after a nap, Wildkit and Sandkit can bring you around camp." Wildkit and Sandkit squealed in delight.

Fuzzykit yawned. She was tired and glad she had joined this Clan. Perhaps she will be happier in this Clan.
