Chapter 1

The tom had cuaght Flare by surprise and had easily pinned him. Flare started to bat and claw the cats face, afriad that he might get killed by a rouge. Then a caught the cat's scent. I know this cat! Berry! "Hey get of me!" Flare said as Berry let go. Flare pushed him of and Berry looked proud. "You didn't see that comeing, did ya?" He asked Flare. "Yah, yah" Flare mumbled.

Later on, While they were on a walk, Flare described to Berry what had happened before Berry decided to pounce on him. Flare and Berry were good freinds, even though Berry can get a little... Moody. "So, your trying to chase a she-cat named 'MoonStar'?" Berry asked. "Yah, but you kinda got in the way of that." Flare replied. "Oh. Sorry." Berry said. "Oh, it's okay. I'll find her..." Flare mumbled.

They were still walking when Berry deicided to stop. He kinda frowned, but looked angery at the same time. He then sat down and gave huge sigh, stareing at some flowers up ahead. Not again. I can finally smell MoonStar's scent trail! Flare thought. "Hey, uh, something wrong Berry?" Flare asked in the kindest voice he could use. "I'm Fine! Can't you see?!" Berry snapped. Flare was shocked for a moment. "Fine! Be that way!" Flare snapped back and stromed of in the direction MoonStar's scent led to.

Flare finally found a bush that was obviosly used for a few days. He sniffed it and there were three other scents apart from MoonStar's.Okay. This is a little odd. Why does she want me here. Why did I follow her in the first place? Then a she-cat came out of the bush, takeing Flare by surprise. It was Moonstar. "You!" Flare said shocked. "Yes, it's me. It took you long enough to get here. I look to see if you were following me, and you're getting pummled by some rouge." She told Flare. Flare stood emberased for a moment. Why is she talking to me like that? I barely even know her and she's talking to me like she knows me! "Well, are you just ganna stand there, or are you ganna come in?" She asked Flare. He had't relized that she was now holding the bush open for him to walk through. On the other side there was a camp with a giant slainted rock pointing to the sun in the middle. 'Wow." Flare said. "Hey! Aren't you listening? Or are you going deaf? Do wanna come in and train to be prepaired for incedents like earlier, or have the most boreing life of doing nothing?!" MoonStar snapped at Flare. "Okay! Okay! I'm going. Jeez." Flare replied. This cat is really getting on my nerves now. Flare thought as he walked in and hung his head. "There will be three others to train with. I don't wanna see any bickering from you four. Okay?" Moonstar told him as she walked up to him from the bush."And don't hang your head like that. It will give you a bad back." She continued as she walked past. Why didn't she even introduce herself? Flare thought as he straightened his neck. "Oh," MoonStar stopped and tuned her head to look at Flare. "My name's MoonStar if you forgot." She told him. "My name's Flare." He toled her. "I already know who you are." she replied. "If only you remembered me." She mumbled as she turned back and walked into a den. Flare heared her mumble, but decide not to ask what she meant. But I do remember you! What do mean? Flare gave up on the thought of trying to find iut what she meant.

"Hi!" a strange brown and white cat with red hair that had black tips said as pounced in front of Flare. "Ah!" Flare yelped in surprise. "My name's Jasper! What's yours?" He said cheerfully. Flare noticed the purple music note necklece Jasper had. "M-my name's Flare." He stumbled. "Nice to meet you." He said. "Why do you have girly hair?" Jasper asked. Flare had gray long hair that went down the side of his face. He also had red and black striped legs that led to white paws. "I do not!" Flare snapped. "But it's so long and it goes down the side of your face like MoonStar's." Jasper replied in a childish voice. "So what?!" Flare snapped back. Seriosly?! Is he isulting me when i barely even know him?!_Flare thought. _I mean, really, who does that?! "Hey! I'm talking to you! Can you here me?" Japer said. Flare was lost in thought and hadn't noticed Jasper untill now.

But, before Flare could say anything, a she-cat walked up to them. "Hey! Jasper. Leave him alone. It's his first day!" She said. She had black hair that was short in the front and went down the sides of her face. She had ginger colored legs with whit front paws and black back paws. She had a black strioe down her back that faded out as it got thicker and so did her chin. She had a red heart necklece on her. "You don't need to be so rude to this cat Jasper." She said as she cuffed his ear. "Okay! Okay! I'll stop now. It was just a question..." He said. When he left the she-cat turned to look at Flare. "Dont' mind Jasper. He tends to be a little... Childish, at moments. Well, this is our little camp. I hope you find this place comfotable. My name's EagleHeart by the way. What's yours?" She asked. "My.. Uh... My name..." Flare stumbled. "My name! My name is Flare." He finally answered. EagleHeart gave a small laugh. "Well, it's nice to meet you Flare. I look forward to training with you. But don't take it easy on me. You wouldn't like what MoonStar would do if she found out." She told him and she walked away.

MoonStar. There's something so familiar about her, but what?! Flare thought.
