    It was a long journey past multiple territories. She had never seen so many cats in one spot without a fight in the crowd. Waterstorm had never had a real clan to stay in, just some rogues here and there to help with the loneliness. Her parents died when she was still a kit and her siblings had all gone off to join other clans so she had no close family to stay with.
    She was unfortunately raised by a human waste site so she was a bit weird. She could somehow control water with her mind and had grown a beautiful pair of glistening blue wings. This did not bother her until she first saw a real clan. None of them had wings, or were blue. From then on, she knew she was different, but this didn't bother her as she had always been an outcast. Then she found the dwelling of river clan. Caverns and waterfalls made the scenery stunning and as Waterstorm approached the caverns, she thought "I want this to be my new home".

    Waterstorm was not one to judge and this kitten seemed very nice. She got nervous though, when the leader approached her. She figured this was the leader because of how the other cats reacted around her. Waterstorm immediately knew this was the best clan to join, as the cats that had greeted her, greeted her with kindess and happy tones. "My name is Waterstorm and my business is finding my first permanent home." She tried to say this calmly but she stuttered a bit with excitement and fear. These cats looked ready to fight, yet they were being so nice to her. Waterstorm had never had a family before but if she was going to have one, this was the place to look. Once she realized that this cat named Ivylee had said hi, she said "Hello Ivylee, I'm Waterstorm, as you might have heard, and I was hoping that I could somehow join this clan. I was never made for life as a rogue." Waterstorm sat in her own mind a bit, just waiting for the leader to reply.

    Waterstorm thought for a moment. She never thought about having a nickname but she consider Splash, as she loved the water and it was one syllable. It sounded wonderful to her. "Splash. My nickname is Splash." she said confidently. Waterstorm knew she would have at least a few friends in this amazing clan.

    Splash thought for a moment. "I haven't eaten anything today. Maybe i'll ask for some food." Her stomach grumbled at the thought of a nice meal. "I would like a small meal, if there is something to eat." She hadn't seen any prey around here but the water told her that these cats probably ate fish more than anything. Splash had never had fish before but it had to be good if these cats were able to eat so much of it that they're coats were becoming glossy. She had had a friend who was a rogue and lived off of fish so she knew the perks but trying it exited her.

    "No." she replied. Splash was getting very exited. "But I'd love to try it!" She took a small bite and it tasted like nothing she'd ever had before. It was truly delicious and she had finished the scaly prey rather quickly. She hoped this wasn't rude, but no one seemed to min so she followed that up with "Wow! That was amazing! I've been living off scraps and mice for so long that I couldn't even remember what good prey tasted like." Splash wasn't a bad hunter at all. The problem was she didn't want to tread on other's territory so she had to live off of human food scraps and small mice from their houses. That meal had been a great relief to her and she was happy to do anything now. "So... Is there anything I could do to help around here?" She had no idea what clan cats did all day so she was curious.

    She noticed the pup off in the distance while munching on a small fish. This small creature was trying to fly with her wings but every time, she fell and got tears in her eyes. Waterstorm, a winged creature herself, knew the struggle of learning to fly and this trespassing pup didn't seem to realize what he was doing. Waterstorm quickly flew over to him and asked a simple question, "What are you doing on Riverclan territory? And, if you want to fly, don't spazz your wings, you're not an insect. What you need to do is swish them with care and finesse." she added. Waterstorm was very curious as she was a new member of Riverclan and this was her first trespasser.

    "Well, I wasn't trying to be rude but flapping your wings aimlessly isn't going to get you anywhere. I can show you one of the best ways to do it if you would like." The tone of voice in the pup irked her and she had had to keep her paws rooted to the ground when he said "Riverclan?" Waterstorm knew this would have happened but she didn't realize what it would actually be like. "Riverclan is a proclan group who hunts fish instead of those weird other creatures that can't breathe underwater. We are a peacful lan but not one to mess with in the event of war."She added that extra bit just to get the point across that this pup shouldn't be rude on her turf.

    "I know you're lying to me and my nose detcts a whiff of Stormclan, eh?" She said with a hint of a laugh. "So what is it that you are practicing, Mr. Half-decent nose?" She said sarcastically. She knew that he was trying to fly and that he was trying to act tough but she didn't want to be too mean. This pup had cried every time he tried to get in the air.

    "I'm Waterstorm, new member of Riverclan and an ex-rogue." The pup was starting to cry and Waterstorm couldn't help but try and comfort the pup. "You'll eventually get the hang of flying and don't worry, we have no reason to hurt you, you have not done anything bad." she said, trying to help calm him. He wasn't crying but there were definite tears in his eyes.
