Chereads / Warriors: The Prophecy Begins / Chapter 3 - Thunder Clan

Chapter 3 - Thunder Clan

Starlight was so happy that she got the chance to look at such a beauty site.

In the midst, a she-cat came up to Starlight. "Hey, I'm Bluepaw! I'm the one who took that mouse before you could."

Starlight gave her a look of confusion, but, nevertheless, told Bluepaw her name.

Just then, there was a sudden MEOW. The tom-cat stilled and suddenly remarked, "Starlight, that call was from the leader. That means there is a meeting. Follow me."

As soon as the she-cats arrived, Bluepaw immediately took a seat and dragged Starlight to situate herself next to her.

Starlight played with the dirt underneath her paw for a minute, nervous of what to expect.

'What if the leaderis disgusted by me and banishes me! How frightful that would be!' Starlight thought.

But as quick as the thought came, the thought left.

'It'll be all right. They all seem like a friendly bunch. The leader must be somewhat kind-hearted,' Starlight thought. 'Yeah, definitely.'

Eventually, Starlight looked up to see a orange ginger tom-cat standing on a huge rock.

'The Tom-cat is so huge in size!' Starlight thought, stiffening herself in fear.

"We will be inviting a new member to our clan," the leader announced in a booming, commanding voice. The leader suddenly had eye-contact with Starlight, "please welcome Starlight!"

Bluepaw nodded to Starlight, signaling for her to go up.

As Starlight meekly went up on the rock, the leader told the clan, "Starlight will be an apprentice and soon a warrior. Her new name shall be Starpaw!"

The clan clapped their paws in acknowledgment. The cats all had a genuine smile on their faces. The leader, after scanning the crowd, eventually nodded and left. Soon after, a few cats trailed after the leader. Others took their time in private discussions with each other.

Bluepaw ran up to Starpaw and meowed happily, "Congratulations, Starpaw, you are officially a member of the Thunder Clan!"

Starpaw was curious as to why the clan was called that. Because of her naturally curious personality, she straight-up asked Bluepaw.

Bluepaw made herself comfortable and started to meow why to Starpaw. "It all started with five cats. They were friends and helped each other survive in the woods. Everything was great, truly, until one night, the five friends got into a fight. One cat even killed the other! Therefore, five clans were made. The one that died, Moonstar, was the first ever leader of Star Clan. The one who killed Moonstar, Bloodstar, was the first ever leader of Shadow Clan. The fasted cat, Swiftstar, became the first leader of Wind Clan. Splashstar, the cat who was very good at swimming and fishing, became the leader of River Clan. This left the smartest cat who could think of anything like the flash of lighting became the first ever leader of Thunder Clan. They decided to have their own territory and respect the others. There was also a vow to never hunt in the other clans' territory. This is also why all the clans' leaders end with "star." And... that's really all you need to know."

Starpaw was surprised but also seemingly happy that her new friend told her about the backstory of the clans.

Before Starpaw could have the chance to speak, a she-cat jumped on her.

Bluepaw meowed in anger and tried to get the she-cat off Starpaw.

However, Bluepaw's efforts were in vain as the she-cat kicked Bluestar in the stomach really hard and turned her focus back on Starpaw.

The she-cat meowed fiercely, "A kittypet like you shouldn't be allowed in this clan! You don't have the warrior blood in you to hunt!" She then got ready to scratch Starpaw right on the face, but before she could, Starpaw kicked the she-cat off her and growled.

Starpaw crouched down and prepared herself to pounce on the she-cat. However, just before she could, a voice spoke up out of no where.

Starpaw glanced to the side and saw her leader come through the crowd and meow, "Well, not bad for a kittypet... not bad at all. But, would some cat tell me why there is a fight going on this early in the morning and let alone in our very own clan!"
