Otter raced down the streets of the Town, laughing. "You can't catch me!" she called to her mother, Silver. " Oh, I'm to old for that, and you know it! "Silver panted. "Oh, come on, mom!" " NO. I am sorry, but it is time to return to the ruins. " "Fine..." When they arrived at their home, Otter yawned and got attacked by  kits! " OH, NO! KITS! I'M GONNA DIEEE... " she fell over dramatically, making Crane, Moth and Birch squeal with delight!
"Sorry, kits, I have to sleep." Otter apologized as she wove her way into the ruins of a Library.
Otter bounded along a trail of water. Then she realized she was SWIMMING! A starry cat bumped into her. " AHHH! HELP! " "Calm down. I was wondering when you would come."  spoke the glittering feline. " My name is Leopardfeather. " "Hi... I'm Otter." " Otter, I just tell you something. You must leave your mother and your little siblings, or they will die. " "WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" " No. I am not crazy. You must come to RiverClan. " "RiverClan?! That's a wild group!" "Do I look evil?" " No. So? " " I am the RiverClan medicine cat. " "Oh... fine. I'll do this. You have no idea what you're putting me into, Leaopardfeather. And I need to tell Silver I'm leaving! Oh, she will not be happy. And I barely know you, and you're sending me to who knows where! And-" "Stop, Otter. This is what you must do. I cannot let him come for you. Do not tell Silver or the kits-they will be heartbroken."Otter's eyes glittered with fear." Who-" she woke up abruptly. Otter gulped in air as she gazed at the gray-blue fur of Crane, the soft brown pelt of Moth, and Birch's twitching tail rustling the soft moss beneath the orange Shelf that sheltered the  kit's  nice green bed. Then she turned over to her mother, whose soft flank was rising and falling as she snored softly.  She leapt reluctantly over the bump of the Door and into the forest as she slowly walked away from everything she'd ever known.
          CHAPTER ONE 
Otter dodged past a huge Monster as she dashed across the smelly Monster Track. She tried to think of it as a game like Silver always advised her when crossing the Monster Track, but she could not understand how that could work. There were Monsters everywhere! She was flooded with relief as her paws made contact with grass once again. "I MADE IT!" Otter hollered, then studied her paws, embarrased. She sounded like a kit! Otter trotted across lush fields of waving grass, and through wet, soggy marshes. She  stopped in a mossy clearing and caught a squirrel for breakfast. As she crunched through the and flesh, she wondered where she must go next. Maybe that Leopard-something would come back if she fell asleep again! She closed her eyes and drifted away. She heard a voice, but it was not the sleek medicine cat. This was a tom. "Ah. I knew you would come." " W-who are you?! " Otter stammered. The tom was battle scarred, with a torn ear and a scar across his cheek. His voice was loud and commanding, and his eyes glinted with evil. Otter screeched at herself inwardly to WAKE UP! The tom suddenly vanishes from eight and instead a pine forest lay ahead of her. She hauled herself to her paws and marched in bravely. "Hey! Who are YOU?!"   cried an unfamiliar, unfriendly voice. "Careful, Skunkpaw" spoke a slightly kinder voice. Two cats stepped into the light, one small black-and-white tom and a larger ginger she-cat. "Hello. I am Flameclaw, and  this rude apprentice is Skunkpaw." " H-hello... I'm looking for RiverClan, " Otter stammered. The she-cat looked surprised. "Well, we're ShadowClan. You are very close!"  she   flicked her tail in the direction of a river. "That's the RiverClan border." " Oh, thank you, Flameclaw! " Otter streaked across the wet marshes and dodged lines until she arrived at the river. Then, she took a deep breath and dove into the frigid waters. "AHHH HELP!" She was actually in trouble this time. " I'M DROWNING! " Suddenly a sleek shape wove through the water. Then everything went dark.
                       CHAPTER TWO
Otter blinked awake. "Huh? where am I?" "Shh, you're okay. You're in RiverClan camp, and I'm the medicine cat, Turtlenose." A brown and orange she-cat gazed at her with distant amber eyes. "Leopardfeather said a black she-cat would come." Otter sat up with a start. "Leopardfeather? Where is she?"  Turtlenose twitched her whiskers in amusement. "Oh, young one,  Leopardfeather is dead." " What?! " Otter yelped. "But I saw her!" Turtlenose shook her head, exhausted. "Dead cats go to StarClan, and StarClan cats can visit dreams. Leopardfeather was my memtor." A call rang through the crisp leaf-fall air. "Let all cats old enough to swim join here beneath the highrock for a clan meeting! " Otter peeked out of the  reed-woven den, which was lined with what looked like every plant on earth, to see what was going on. A small, lithe gray tom stood on  a tall, reddish stone which she guessed was the highrock. Many other cats say together beneath the looming shadow of highrock. There were gray cays, brown cats, ginger cats, russet cats, black cats and a white cat with a bent tail. The gray cat on the rock glanced towaeds the medicine cat den and unexpectedly beckoned her with his tail, a releived look in his eyes. Otter reluctantly passed forward, her paws making no sound on the moss-strewn earth. "Hello, Otter. Welcome to RiverClan. I am Rainstar, and this is my deputy, Pebbletail." He angled his ears towards a russet- furred she cat with soft green eyes. "This is your warrior ceremony." Yowls of protest arose from the crowd of gathered cats. "She hasn 't had any training!" " She just got here-by drowning! " " Rainstar, what are you doing , taking in a rogue? " Rainstar raised his tail for silence. "Otter, so you promise to keep the warrior code and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?" " I do, " Otter mewled shakily. "Then, by the power of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this day forward you shall be called Otterstream." " Otterstream! Otterstream! " one lone cry  rang out. "Otterstream! Otterstream!" Other yowls rose up . Otterstream glowed with pride. This was her name. This was her home. This was her clan.
