The Steps of a Warrior

Prologue
'Are you sure this is the one?' Three cats were sitting by a pool. One was lilac-grey, one scruffy brown and one black and white.

'I am sure.'

'And how will the one discover their destiny?' The black and white cat waved his tall tail a little, thinking.

'They will wonder into the territory and destiny and us shall guide the one's paws.' The lilac-grey cat, however looked worried.

'At least let Leopardclaw finish her warrior training!' The other two cats thought for a moment, and the old brown cat said:

'Very well, but as soon as She is a warrior, the one shall find her, and the prophecy shall be fulfilled. Then the three can save every cat.'

Chapter 1
Mouse Dung! Leopardclaw had, yet again, failed to catch a mouse. I'll never be a warrior if I can't hunt. Pearlwhisker looked at her apprentice, disappointed.

'Your stalking technique is good, but you got distracted and stepped on a leaf. Now try again.' Leopardclaw crossly started looking around, scenting the air. Rabbit! She dropped into a crouch, concentrating only on the rabbit. She was two tail-lengths away when the rabbit heard her. No! Leopardclaw raced after the rabbit. Pearlwhisker looked sadly at her paws. However, she was encoraged to see the rabbit hanging in her apprentices jaws.

'Well done, Leopardclaw!' Leopardclaw's eyes shone, she had caught her first prey! Thank you, StarClan.

'Come on, the elders will be hungry, we had better go and see to them.'
