Warriors AU: P1

It's happening, folks! I'm trying to restrain myself from yeeting y'all into the unknown, and therefore writing this similar to the first book. (This is a Forest Territory book because hhhh the Lake Territory has way too many spoilers)
Map is above for viewing! :D

Doc was stretched out in the sun in his garden. Well, his housefolks' garden. He yawned, flicking his ears back, then looked up at the darkening sky. His housefolk didn't mind him staying out past dark, as long as he came inside by daybreak.


As long as he didn't leave the yard.


He flicked his ruined left ear subconsciously, a tuft of fur brushing against his empty eye socket as it drifted away in the light wind. He'd gotten his scars from a gang of horrible strays, ones with collars spiked with dog teeth, cats that were so obviously malnourished you could clearly see their rib cages and spines. Doc hissed quietly to himself, thinking about those cats, they had given him his scars.
Since then, he'd decided he wouldn't be overpowered like that again. He hunted, he climbed, he trained himself to be a lot stronger. He was already huge for a tomcat, with wide shoulders and stout yet nimble legs. When Stress, his sister, had met him, she'd commented he could've passed for one of the wild cats she'd heard of.


Back in the present, Doc shook himself, leaping up onto the fence with ease. He enjoyed watching the shadows in the forest dance with the sunset.


What he had not been expecting was seeing three shadows, cat silhouettes, emerge from the dark of the forest.
Doc narrowed his eye, lowering himself into a pouncing position. He flicked his tail expectantly as he watched the trio near.
Flicking his ears erect and forward, he managed to pick up bits of their conversation.


"I'm sure he'd be a worthy edition to ThunderClan, Voidstar! Absolutely positive, love."


Doc balked. That was his sister's voice! And who was Voidstar? What was ThunderClan? Was Stress talking about him?


A second voice spoke. "I do not doubt you, Frostpaw, but are you sure he would join our Clan in exchange for the comfort of being a kittypet?" This was who Doc assumed to be Voidstar. And why was he calling Stress "Frostpaw"? Had Doc been mistaken in recognizing her voice?


"Well, this seems like it'll be fun, so let's just go talk to him and stop going back and forth about it!" Said a third, mischievous voice. One of the shadows came bounding towards Doc, quickly followed by the two others.


Doc leapt down from his fence, swishing his tail. He sat down and began grooming.
His ears picked up pawsteps a few moments later, and he looked up.
Before him was his sister, a beautiful chocolate brown cat with patches of striped silver fur. Next to her was a large cat, admittedly not as large as Doc, who still towered over him. This cat had a glowing star-like marking in the middle of his forehead, black, almost purplish fur, and unusual purple eyes. He had a large X-shaped scar on his face. Next to him was the third cat, a very small dirty blonde tabby with long messy fur and gleaming dark brown eyes.
Stress purred happily and rubbed her face on Doc's chest. He smiled and purred as well, nuzzling her neck.
The small blonde arched a brow, tilting his head a little.
"Were you two... Kittypet friends or something?" He asked, sitting down.
Doc snorted. "Stress is my littermate, wild cat. And we might as well introduce ourselves." He suggested. Stress nodded, stepping back.
Voidstar made an ahem noise. "I am Voidstar, leader of ThunderClan. This is my apprentice, Sandpaw," He flicked his tail at the small dirty blonde cat, "And this is Frostpaw, who you knew as 'Stress'."
Doc nodded, taking in this information. "I'm Doc. Are you going to tell me why your here?"
Internally, Doc had just noticed how remarkably calm he was being about this.


Frostpaw smiled. "So, we're here because I told Voidstar that you could be a powerful addition to ThunderClan. And now we're here to ask if you're in." Her eyes sparkled with hope.
Doc blinked slowly. "Before I either accept or deny your offer, mind explaining what the stones is 'ThunderClan'?" The scarred cat prompted.
This time, Sandpaw spoke up. "ThunderClan is one of the four clans of the forest. The other three are ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan. We hunt and live in wild like proper cats."
On that last sentence, Sandpaw's tone was very clearly scoffing.
Doc grunted. He glanced over his shoulder at his house. Well, I can always come back if I don't like it. He thought. Doc turned back to the three cats. Frostpaw's hopeful, pleading stare. Voidstar's questioning look. Sandpaw's I dare you grin. Doc sighed.


"Alright. I'm in."
