voice that she tried to hide worry come out though it was still a bit shaky.

                                            "I-I'm Ginger from the horse barn across the lake." She said.

                                            "A barn cat! What are you doing here!?" Shouted out Rainwhisker.

                                             Ginger tried to see the cat but could only hear the cats voice among all the cats.

                                            "Hush! Rainwhisker do you think this cat is powerless? I came to the clan as a Kittypet!" Firestar's voice rang over the clan but it had no anger in it. Only power.

                                             "I well I" Rainwhisker bowed his head and didn't protest any longer.

                                              Firestar turned back to Ginger and spoke, "You will be safe and well fed with us till you make it home."

                                             "We are going to feed the fur ball too! It could catch a mouse if it layed down in her paws!" Rainwhisker had stood his tail lashing.

                                              "I can hunt my self!" Ginger said and twitched her ears toward where Rainwhisker stood.

                                                She leapt over the cats and hit him pin point on the shoulders. Rainwhisker shoved her off and bite down in her scruff. The tusled around and the other cats leap out of the wat. Ginger riped his ear but Rainwhisker was doing well too, and had bite onto the base of her tail and wasn't letting go. She raised her paw and scored his face. They seprated and hissed ready to leap again.

                                                Firestar's voice rang out, "That's it stop this!"

                                                 Ginger leap back and Rainwhisker limped to the medicine cats den. He had his head down and Ginger knew he felt his leader's scorn in his voice.

                                                 "Now does any other cat see her weak? She proved herself to me. She seems to be a warrior." Firestar looked around the cats from his spot on the High Ledge.

                                                Cats all a round talked in the little groups some words Ginger could make out while others were hard. Some seemed fine with her there and others seemed to hate the very smell of her. She looked around hopeing no one would run her out. She liked it here. It wasn't like the barn. And she could look at the stars when she slept. She had always liked the stars for some reason. There was no reason for it and her mother often called her silly but Ginger felt as some thing more was up there. Ginger looked up at Firestar who had waved his tail for them to listen. All the cats stoped talking and perked their ears toward him.

                                                "Ginger will stay till the morning then will be taken to our boder with 2 of our warriors. Spiderleg you can take her and pick the other to go with you." Firestar said then leap from the ledge and was followed in his den by a few of the elders.

                                                 Ginger looked over to Spiderleg who was standing tall and was looking at the cats around him who looked pleased to go with him.

                                                  "Yes uh Sootfur why don't you come?" Spiderleg said trying to sound powerful.

                                                  "Sure Spiderleg, I'll go." Sootfur said a lighter grey tom cat with amber eyes.

                                                   Ginger felt unaesy standing there not doind a thing or saying any remark to what the cats talked about. Gladness flowed over her as she saw Brackenfur walked over to her.

                                                    "Ginger you should stay there for the night" Brackenfur said pointing with his tail to a small clife hang over with scattered moss under it. "Don't worry Whitepaw will fetch fresh and more moss for you." he added.

                                                     "Yes, thank you. For every thing." Ginger said and steped under the hang over and pushed the old moss out.

                                                      "It's nothing now Have you ate today? the fresh pile is over there" He said pointing with his tail to a place a few fox-lengths away. The pile had mouses and birds and a few fluffy squirrels.
