a/n: I don't own Warriors. Each chapter of this story will follow one of Leafpool's kits (See my 'Blood of Forbidden Love' trilogy). The first chapter will follow Featherkit (the kits are made into apprentices in the first chapter). I just have one, teeny weeny problem…Twilight. This story will not be based from Twilight.

Warriors: Rise of Three

Featherkit yawned and stood up, the fur on her back bristled with excitement. Whitetail lay beside her and Crowfeather was on the other side of the nursery, eating a rabit. Featherkit bounced over to him.

"Guess what?" She stood on her paws teetering back and forth happily.

Crowfeather rolled his eyes, amused. "What, Featherkit?"

"Hey, you rolled your eyes! Guess I just won't tell you…" She turned away, her tail straight up in the air. Crowfeather stood up and picked her up by the scruff of her neck, placing her in front of him.

"No, you're going to tell me," Crowfeather looked into his daughters eyes. They were laughing at him.

"Not until you say sorry." Crowfeather purred with laughter. She was always this difficult. Crowfeather bowed to his daughter, rolling his eyes. She purred and mewed laughter.

"I apologize, oh great Featherkit!" He rose, meowing his amusement.

"Crowfeather, you're silly. Okay, I'll tell you. I'm going to be apprenticed!"

"I knew that already! Why didn't you just remind me?"

"Because…my way was funnier!"

"Oh yeah?" He picked her up by the scruff of her neck and sat her by the nursery. "We'll see how funny Leafpool thinks it is! Barkface! I'm going hunting by the river!"

"Allright!" Barkface winked at him. Out of WindClan, only he knew that Leafpool was the mother of Featherkit.

Crowfeather picked up his kit and snuck her out of camp. The moorland seemed to go on forever before they arrived at the border of WindClan and ThunderClan. Leafpool, Shadowkit, Winterkit, and Rosekit weren't to be found and Crowfeather sat on the WindClan side, impatiently waiting their arrival. A twig snapped on the WindClan side. Crowfeather stood up and looked over at the ThunderClan side, Featherkit at the WindClan. Suddenly, Featherkit mewed and Shadowkit rolled off her as Crowfeather looked over. Rosekit and Winterkit followed out of the bush. Crowfeather stepped onto the WindClan side and stared at his other three kits.

"Where's your mother?"

"She's not with us!" Winterkit chimed in. Leafpool leaped out of a bush on the ThunderClan side, tackling Crowfeather to the ground.

"You heap of foxdung, Leafpool!"

"Uh, Crowfeather!" His kits purred. He rolled his eyes and Leafpool jumped from his back. Greeting her with a lick on the forehead, he ventured to his kits, who were restling and playing tag around a bush.

"So…you're all being apprenticed tonight?" He already knew the answer, but they thought he didn't.

"Yep! I'm going to be ShadowPAW now!"

Firestar jumped onto the Highrock, his eyes glittering at the sight of Leafpool, curled up to her kits.

"Let all old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting. Today, we honor four kits who will now become apprentices. From this day forth, until they earn their warrior name, these two will be called Rosepaw and Shadowpaw. Squirrelflight, you are ready for you first apprentice. You had a good mentor in Dustpelt and I expect you to carry on the skills he taught you to Rosepaw. Brambleclaw, you are also ready for your first apprentice. I expect you to carry on the traits I taught you to Shadowpaw. Winterkit has chosen a special place among ThunderClan. She will follow in the footsteps of her mother and become a medicine cat. Leafpool, you are ready for your first apprentice and I expect you to not go easy on your daughter and carry on Cinderpelt's teachings to her. Meeting adjourned."

Shadowpaw bounded up to Brambleclaw and touched noses with him. Rosepaw stayed where she was and Squirrelflight came to her, Rosepaw reluctantly touching noses with her mentor. Winterpaw nudged her mother and curled by her side.
