Chapter 1: Peachpaw
A paw prodded Peachpaw's side.

She growled at the paw and turned over.

"Peachpaw!"

Peachpaw stretched her hazel eyes open reluctantly and stared into the annoyed face of Lightpaw.

"Get up!" Lightpaw snarled.

"Ok," she meowed quickly. Lightpaw was the prettiest she-cat in the Clan and every tom liked her. She was Mallowstar's daughter and since SkyClan was uniting with a group of cats that had come up out of the blue called BloodClan, Lightpaw was expected to fall in love with the BloodClan leader's son. The unision of the Clans had been Peachpaw's mother's idea. Her mother was deputy and was a very peaceful cat, and she didn't like to fight. Peachpaw didn't like to fight either, but she didn't like the prospect of being united with a Clan called BloodClan, which could potentially bring more fighting.

Lightpaw also had an everlasting grudge against Peachpaw.

"Your mentor wants you," Lightpaw growled.

Peachpaw shrugged, "Ok." She started padding from the den.

"What's wrong with you?" Lightpaw hissed.

Peachpaw cocked her head, "What do you mean?"

"You don't even retort, but I like that because nobody would dare defy me. I'm the leader's daughter."

Peachpaw rolled her eyes and continued out. She had heard that story countless times and she was not as intimidated by her than when they were kits.

Her mentor, Dawnfur, came up and meowed, "Get some fresh-kill. You, I, Rockclaw, Flowerfur, and Mallowstar are going to BloodClan territory to decide on the future Clan decisions."

Peachpaw's eyes opened wide with excitement. This was quite an honor and she was really surprised that Lightpaw wasn't going to meet her future mate.

She gave her peach colored fur a quick grooming and turned to Peachpaw for a friendly, light revenge for what had happened that morning.

"Bye, Lightpaw! I'm off to meet BloodClan cats. Have fun hunting!" Peachpaw smiled at Lightpaw and marched out of camp, waving her tail after the leader, her mother, a senior warrior, and her mentor.

''I'm so lucky to be meeting future Clanmates with some of the most elite cats in the Clan! ''she thought, bouncing on her toes as they made their way to unfamiliar territory.
