Chapter 1

I stepped through the bushes, my large black paws crushing the dry wood and breaking it into thousands of tiny splinters. Ahead, voices drifted to my ears on the gentle breeze.

"Welcome to the test." I meowed as I stepped casually into the clearing where nine cats huddled together close to the center.

"Who are you?" A dark furred cat stepped out of the group, fur brisling along his spine.

"Peace, Cole, I am merely the director of the test. I am Nightfoot, the deputy, or second in command, of LionClan. I have another name, but for now, I request that you call me by my official clan name, Nightfoot."

A reddish brown tom shoved a black-and-white tom and a ginger tom to the side. "Listen… Nightfoot," he spat the name like it was poison. "If you think you can just keep us here like this, you're wrong. I will go to the police and have you arrested!"

I laughed. "Such foolishness! The police won't help you. In a case you haven't noticed, you are a cat, and what would you say? 'I was turned into a cat by a crazy lady!' They would most likely send you to a mental hospital!"

"Then I shall kill you right now!" He snarled. My eyes darkened.

"You cannot challenge me, Nathan. I am a seasoned warrior! None of you can fight. Much less walk properly in these forms." I gestured to a white tom with brown patches. He was pacing the edge of the clearing and staring at his paws while he stumbled over his own tail and feet.

"I shall try." He charged at me, although he tripped over his new body and was pinned easily.

"You are here for one reason or another. The most common reason, we have some feud to settle or some things we must discuss. Maybe you need to get your feelings straight or you just need to learn some respect. But I believe that only two of you are here because I think that I would find it amusing to watch you struggle in the world of the warriors."

"Okay, but who's here for what reason?"

"That is for you to discover within yourselves." I answered.

"You don't know!" The white and brown tom accused.

"Yes I do know, for I am one of you, Derek. Follow me, all who wish to receive answers." I turned towards the LionClan camp.

"How will we learn about clan life?" Derek asked.

"Ask Chandler. He is familiar with the clans. Quite familiar actually."

All the cats' gazes turned to the black and white tom. He dipped his head in embarrassment. "Um... Nightfoot? What about our names? Macy, Santana, Jason, Derek, Nathan, Cole, Chandler. Those are not warrior names.

I nodded. "Valid point. I have forgotten that step. I can do you, Chandler, first, since you reminded me of this important step." I touched his head.

Your old name, Chandler, will not work in this world, I now name you Crow, in honor for your dark fur.

"I would prefer to keep my name," Santana meowed.

"But you cannot. You will already be a stranger." I retorted.

"I don't care!" She growled. "I wish to keep my name."

I narrowed my eyes. "Very well… But don't come running to me when your name gets you in trouble."

I repeated the process with the rest- of the testers.

Mouse (Macy)- Dark gray she-cat with vibrant green eyes

Santana- Tortoiseshell she-cat with blue-green eyes
