Stripepelt's destiny

== Prologue ==
Stripepelt watched the cats looking at her, as she plummeted down from the rocky cliff. She felt as if her moment was coming and she knew when she touched solid earth she'd be done for. Everything she had lived for was now about to end as she felt herself touch hard rock. She watched as her vision became and blur and all she could see was pitch black. "Stripepelt," said the voice of a tom that Stripepelt easily recognized as Pepperpelt. The tom was deputy when she had joined Windclan and she has witnessed his death. "Stripepelt! Get up! Your in Starclan!." Pepperpelt said.
Stripepelt opened her eyes to see the black and white tom looking at her. He looked as thou he were made of flame and had a starry pelt and around him other cats that had the same starry pelt and looked as if they were made out of flame were around him. "Welcome to Starclan Stripepelt." Pepperpelt purred.
== Chapter 1 ==
The scent of milk filled a brown and black tabby she-kit's nose. She woke up beside her mother who was curled up in deep sleep. The she-kit pushed herself to her feet and tried to search for a different scent. She caught the scent of a mouse and nearby and followed it. Mother won't mind if I catch something. She'll probably be proud of me. The she-kit followed the scent and ran up the stairs of the abandoned twoleg nest. They made a eerie nose every time the she-kit stepped on one. After going up the stairs, the scent was very strong. The she-kit followed it outside and her gaze locked on the mouse. Don't escape me mouse! She crouched down feeling her paws press the heavy ground before pouncing on the mouse. She landed on the mouse silently and bit its neck. Yay! Mother would be proud. The she-kit grabbed the mouse and ran inside joyfully. She ran to her mother and played the mouse down beside her. "Mother! Look what I caught!" The she-kit yelped in joy.
Her mother was now awake and looked at her catch. "Yes Stripe. That is a good catch."
She lowered her head to sniff the prey and nodded for them to eat. Stripe bounced in the air and she gulped down the head and body. Her mother looked happy for her "Now Stripe, I'm going to hunt. Please stay here."
Stripe nodded, wishing she could hunt.
== Chapter 2 ==
Stripe sat down watching her mother leave the corner they lived in. She sighed. Stripe felt the stiff floorboards and scanned the area for more prey. If her mother couldn't catch one, Stripe would. Stripe sniffed the air smelling a few mice. Suddenly, Stripe felt tried and lay down asleep.

Stripe was in a field of grass. Dashing through it at a speed like a racing car. Stripe felt her paws touch the soil and felt freedom run through her. Her eyes caught a sand yellow she-kit about her age. She was playing in a patch of dandelions letting them go on her. "Hello," Stripe managed to say. Her eyes rested on the other she-kit and she did not rely. Stripe wondered why and rested her paws on the grass. Stripe saw ants and blades of grass sticking up from the ground. "Wow." She mewed. Suddenly she felt her mind whirl and she woke up on the damaged floor of the abandoned twoleg nest. "Here Stripe." Her mother purred dropping a hare at her paws. Stripe nodded biting into it noticing her mother chew on a thrush. Stripe sighed eating the prey.
== Chapter 3 ==
4 moons later, Stripe was sitting down outside her home scanning the area for danger. Her eyes darted around and she opened her mouth to take in the scent. Stripe's eyes locked on a nearby grey-black cat. Her fur looked almost like a wolf and Stripe felt her fur prick up. "Who are you?!?" Stripe threatened. The cat turned to Stripe and padded away. Stripe grew relieved and padded inside. Her mother was lying on some leaves. "Mother, I saw a clan cat!" Stripe meowed.
"Ok. Remember what I told you. They can get aggressive if they catch you stealing there prey." Stripe's mother mewed.
"Yes mother." Stripe worshipped.
She lowered her head before suddenly the wolf-coloured cat bounded in, the cat released her claws and struck them at Stripe's mother. "Gingerstream! You have no right to live here!" The cat hissed.
Her gaze was burning with fury and Stripe was scared to death. Stripe crouched away watching her mother being attacked. She felt helpless at the sight. Stripe heard her mother's cry as she clawed the wolf-coloured cat. Stripe watched as the cat blew a deathly blow at Gingerstream killing her. The cat retracted her claws and stepped towards Stripe. "Sorry about that? Was she your mother?" The cat sounded with a deep tone.
"Ye...yes." Stripe stammered.
"Hmmmm. You seem like the right sort to be in Veilclan." She said.
Stripe looked in fright. "M...me? Join the clan of someone who killed my mother?!?" She stammered.
"Well, you seem like the right sort, I'm Wolfstar, leader on Veilclan." Wolfstar mewed.
Stripe looked at her for a moment "I'll join." Stripe said. Her tone was full of confidence and Stripe felt like she was being lifted up.
"Ver well. Follow me."
"Ok" Stripe watched as Wolfstar padded off. She followed feeling a feeling tingle in her veins. Stripe had heard about Starclan from her mother yet she felt as if cats of stars were watching her. She felt like a clan cat.
== Chapter 4 ==
"Is she a loner? She looks like one, eating mice and she is very skinny."
Stripe felt her paws touch the ground and scanned the clearing. Cats were watching her as she sat down staring at a large rock that seemed like it reached to the sky. Stripe watched as Wolfstar said her new name. "By the honer of Starclan, I pronounced Stripe with her apprentice name Stripepaw! Your mentor will her Aspenheart." Stripepaw watched as the cats cheered her new name. "Stripepaw!" She heard a black cat say. Beside her a grey she-cat with white spots licked her in affection.
Stripepaw looked up at Aspenheart. "I'll train you to be the best warrior you can be." Aspenheart purred.
Stripepaw nodded watching the other cats cheer and shout her name. "Clan meeting dismissed." Wolfstar said with a flick of her tail.
Stripepaw looked down seeing a light grey she-cat about her size edge towards her. "I'm Silentpaw." She mumbled.
"Ohh thats a nice name." Stripepaw purred. 
Silentpaw nodded and open her mouth to say "Let me show you around." 
The two cat first went towards a place were some plants were growing and at the very edge, a small running waterfall. "This is the warriors den." Silentpaw remarked.
They then went to a place were at the very end there was much more plants then the front. "Apprentice den." Silentpaw said. 
They then went to a place covered with ferns and grass. "Nursery." Silentpaw said.
==Chapter 5==
It had been two weeks and Stripepaw had done some training. All the cats of Veilclan were gathered around the highrock as Wolfstar yowled. "Today our clan is disbanding. Tough times are falling upon us and there is no way this will work." 
Stripepaw looked around seeing Silentpaw look up and Weeppaw, a black tom, hide himself. "I command us all to leave this territory!" Wolfstar shouted.
Stripepaw watched as the cats parted and, shaken with fright, she followed them out of camp. She watched as her mentor walked off with a few other cats. "I'm joining Spiritualclan." Silentpaw said, Stripepaw could tell she was fighting back the tears as she said farewell. "See you someday, maybe in battle." Silentpaw said.
"Very well Silentpaw! May Starclan light your path!!" Stripepaw said and she walked off out of Veilclan's territory, she was alone. 
Well I might as well hunt. Stripepaw thought. The sun held it's self high as she finally caught the scent of a mouse a field of grass beside the twoleg fence. The grass was fairly shorter then what Stripepaw was used to yet she didn't care, she had herself. Stripepaw crouched down following the scent trail. She finally saw the mouse, it was trying to make an escape to the forest yet Stripepaw pounced on it. She hoped she had caught it yet it ran away. "Fox dung! I could have caught that!" Stripepaw growled.
"Whats that?" Stripepaw heard a unfamiliar voice say.
"It's a clan-cat Sapphire!" Stripepaw heard another voice say. 
She turned her head to see a blue-grey she-cat with a green kittypet collar and a grey tom. The kittypet had amber eyes and the tom, green. "What are you doing so close to our home!" The kittypet said in a voice that didn't appear menacing.
"My clan disbanded kittypet!" Stripepaw screamed.
"Who are you to call my sister a kittypet clan cat!" The tom yowled the Stripepaw saw he had a red kittypet collar. 
"Why should I be afraid of you kittypets!" Stripepaw yowled. 
As if they were clan-cats, they released there claws and the both of them pounced on Stripepaw. Stripepaw tried to dodge them as one of them pushed there claws onto her back. "Get off!" Stripepaw yowled as she shook herself.
"Never!" Said the tom as she let go white the she-cat clawed at Stripepaw's right ear on the back leaving the bleeding scar. 
Stripepaw tried her best to fight yet the two kittypets started clawing at her back until she felt the weight lifted. She got up and turned her head to see a pretty grey and white tabby battling them. Stripepaw watched as both kittypets ran off. "Yo--- you saved me!" Stripepaw mewed in joy.
The tabby turned her head. "What are you doing close to Windclan?" 
Stripepaw looked. "I came from the forest over there." Stripepaw pointed with her tail to the forest behind her. "My clan has disbanded."
The tabby looked. "Would you like to join Windclan, by the way I'm Stormfeather." 
== Chapter 6 ==
Stripepaw looked. "I'm Stripepaw and sure, now were is Windclan?" 
Stormfeather purred, "Follow me." 
Stripepaw nodded Stormfeather lead Stripepaw through an alley way in twoleg place to a thunderpath, the thick black stripe made Stripepaw nervous. "Be careful here." Stormfeather said. 
Stripepaw nodded as she saw the monster brush past, it fluffed up her and Stormfeather's fur. "Ok follow my lead." Stormfeather said.
Stripepaw nodded yet she was shaken with fear, she didn't want to cross this. She watched as Stormfeather laid her paws on the thunderpath and so did Stripepaw. It was rough and made Stripepaw uncomfortable and was brought back to battling the kittypets. She crossed the path with Stormfeather at her side and they stopped on moorland grass, this was were Stripepaw would settle. Stripepaw stood close to Stormfeather until they reached an opening in the ground were the camp was. She went in followed by Stormfeather. "Slatestar!" Stormfeather yowled, "I have someone who can join!" 
Stripepaw shuddered as a grey tom with one leg missing walked to Stormfeather. "Who's this?" He asked. 
"Stripepaw, I found her across the border. Her clan has diabanded." Stormfeather said. 
The grey tom looked, this gaze was blank and hard to read. "Stripepaw, would you like to join Windclan?" Slatestar said. 
"Ye-yes." Stripepaw shuddered. 
"Very well." Slatestar said. 
He bounded over towards a rock leaping out of the ground. "Cats old enough to catch there own prey, please gather around the high rock." Slatestar yowled. 
Cats gathered around the high rock including Stripepaw who sat down beside a white fawn she-cat called Milkpaw. She caugh sight of a black she-cat with scars looking like tabby stripes yet they were a bright red. Stripepaw sighed as Stormfeather put some cob-webs on the wound on her ear as Slatestar begin, "Today we have found a former clan-cat near our border and she wants to join Windclan as a apprentice." 
Stripepaw heard murmuring and felt even more frightened then ever. She was a stranger here. 
"Stripepaw!" Stripepaw heard Slatestar yowl, "Do you promise to learn the way of the warrior code?" 
"Yes." Stripepaw said, she dipped her head in respect. 
"Very well, you have been accepted as a full apprentice of Windclan, your mentor is Cinnamonleaf." Slatestar yowled. 
Stripepaw watched as Cinnamonleaf, a tortoiseshell and ginger she-cat padded over to her. She rested her muzzle on Stripepaw before walking away. Stripepaw sighed. "Meeting dismissed." Slatestar as he leaped down. The cat parted away and Stripepaw followed Stormfeather to the apprentice den. 
"Here is were you'll sleep." Stormfeather said.
