I DO NOT OWN THE WARRIOR SERIES

PROLOGUE

It was a fairly sunny morning for leaf-bare. A few clouds hung in the sky, but not so many that it might snow. Warriors were coming back and leaving for patrols and apprentices were coming back and leaving for hunting. It was a fairly good day.

Cinderheart looked down at the three kits next her belly. One was a bright orange, one was grey and one was pure white. She had named the orange one Emberkit, the grey one Smokekit and the white one Snowkit. Smokekit and Snowkit were she-cats, and Emberkit was a tom. Cinderheart gave the orange tom a long stare, 'Cats are sure to expect that they are his kits.' She thought.

Poppyfrost tilted her head and asked for the millionth time, "So who is the father?" She was laying comfortably in her nest while her two kits played.

Cinderheart sighed, "I've told you, I'm not telling anyone who the father is." She flicked her grey tail protectively over the sleeping trio, "And even if I did tell you, it wouldn't be that exciting." Her eyes flickered to a large orange tom sitting just outside the warriors den, 'Well, to you it wouldn't be that interesting.'

Poppyfrost gave her a long look before sighing, "Oh well, I guess I'll never get it out of you." She turned her head as Cherrykit squealed.

"Molekit bit my tail!" Cherrykit whined.

Molekit bristled, "Did not! You stepped on it with your clumsy paws!"

Poppyfrost looked at Cinderheart enviously, "You're lucky yours are still quiet." She got up and stretched, "Come on kits, I think Dustpelt might want some extra help expanding the apprentices den.

"I'm going to build the best part of the apprentices den!" Molekit boasted before darting out of the nursery.

"Second best is more like it! My part of it will be the best!" Cherrykit called after him before also leaving the nursery.

Poppyfrost followed after them, at the entrance of the nursery she looked back at Cinderheart, "They are growing up so fast, in a couple moons they will be apprentices. And in four moons your kits will be apprenticed too." She purred, "They will all grow up to be fine warriors.

Cinderheart rested her head on the moss, "I hope so." She murmured quietly, "I hope you all become fine warriors."

And with that, she fell asleep.

I hope you all liked this, please review and tell me if I should continue. :3
