Thornheart's Acceptance

"Hey, do you smell that?"

"What is it?"

"I believe it's a kit,"

"Where's its mother?"

"So, this is the kit that was found near the Sunning Rocks?"

"Why? Why would you help a kit that's not even apart of the clan?"

"The warrior code says 'No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.' "

"I have discussed what we are going to do with her with some of the senior warriors, and we all have come to the same decision. She should stay here until she is old enough to make her own decisions and leave us or if her mother returns for her."

"From this moment on, she will be known as Thornkit."

It was a rainy new-leaf day, just after the first light of sunrise in ThunderClan territory, when a ThunderClan patrol found her. A wet plump of fur covered in mud at the RiverClan border with her mother no where in sight. Over the next seasons Thornkit must learn what it mean to be a non-clan born cat, and as she gets her warrior name Thornheart, what being a warrior means to her clan and to herself.
