Warning: Old

Ocean woke to the sounds of paw steps heading toward her. She sat up and a young pale grey she-cat was standing right in front of her! Behind the cat was a golden tom with ember eyes, and a dark tabby cat.

"What are you doing in Thunderclan territory?" asked the she-cat. "Thunderclan?" Ocean was amazed at the fact that real life forest cats were standing right in front of her! "Let's take her back to camp and let Firestar decided on what to do with her." The tabby tom meowed. The golden tom nodded and nudged Ocean back on her paws. "Follow me" he growled. Ocean obeyed and started having second thoughts about these wild cats. Maybe they're not what I thought they were, she thought. With one cat, in front of her, and the other two following behind her, she was being guided through the forest to a small tunnel.

"Go!" the brown tom ordered and Ocean squeezed through the small tunnel. Once inside, she was surprised at the amount of cats inside! There were dens on all sides! Soon, cats started coming out of their dens and staring at her, wondering why there was an unknown cat in their home. "Firestar!" the grey she-cat called, then a handsome ginger tom appeared on a rock ledge. Ocean was fascinated by him and didn't realize that he was walking right toward her! This must be Firestar, she thought.

"Who is this, Lionblaze?" he asked. "We found her dozing in our territory, she isn't from the other clans, she must be a loner." the golden tom answered. Then Firestar looked at Ocean. His eyes gone wide, as if he recognized her. His expression soften,"Come with me." he told her. Ocean was surprised that he was so calm. Ocean followed him to his den, and she sat down along with him.

"Are you Ocean?" he asked. Ocean was shocked at the question, how did he know her name?! "Y-Yes" she answered. He closed his eyes for a minute, then reopened them, "I've been expecting you, I was an old friend of your father." he meowed. Rusty! Ocean remembered her father's friend, before he went into the forest to join the wild cats!

"You were Rusty, weren't you?" Ocean asked, he nodded, smiling. "He said you might venture out here, you seem to make a great warrior." he said. Ocean looked at him, excited. Warrior?, she thought, I'm going to be a warrior!
