Everyone stared at the strange cats with new interest. "How old are you?" Lightningstar asked. "We're both 6 moons old." Honey said. "Well, let me consult with my deputy." Lightningstar said. Honey looked hopefully at the clan. Fawnpaw's father walked over to the leader and sat down beside her. "Should we?" Lightningstar said in a whisper that Fawnpaw could barely hear even though she was so close to them. "Well, we do need more apprentices." Acornclaw said. "Ask them if they were ever in a clan, we can only have pure blood here." Acornclaw continued. That's reasonable thought Fawnpaw. The clan had nothing against loners, (since the twolegs had left long before Fawnpaw, or any cat in the clan was born) it was just loners had never understood clan life. Lightningstar had a few loners in the clan when she was a kit, but all of them either left or betrayed the clan. "Ok," Lightningstar said "I'll ask them." "Have you been in a clan before?" Lightningstar said. "Yes, we were in ClearClan. We left because Darkstar took over and killed everyone who denied him, including our parents. Our mother got us out heartbeats before she got killed by Rockpaw, Darkstars old apprintess. Rockpaw was our friend when we where kits, but Darkstar corrupted him. His name now is Rockblood." said Honey. Lightningstars eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't another clan help you? WaterClan would always help us when we need it." Acornclaw said, astounded. "No, ThornClan just sat bye and their leader, Floodstar, even gave his clan to Darkstar! And FernClan got destroyed." Honey said. Lightningstar said "Wow, than of coarse you can come into our clan! We'll have your apprintess ceremony tomarrow. Welcome to SeasonClan, Honeypaw and Forestpaw."
