Sorry about these cats… there were too many and I really wanted to start the next gen. of ThunderClan. I left some older cats like Brakenfur and Cloudtail for ya though! Now I'll stop blabbing here is Warriors: The Next Gen!
A pretty black and white spotted she-cat with green eyes emerged from the medicine cat den. She padded over to her siblings, Blackoak (formally Blackpaw), and Icestripes (formally Icepaw).
"So how's warrior life?" she asked as she sat beside them.
"Much better than apprentice life that's for sure!" Blackoak meowed. "No more having to clean Graystripe's ticks! Or fix the queens' nests!"
"Stay away from there!" Spottedpaw heard Dovewing shirked to her kits, Sprinklekit, Owlkit, Heartkit, and Echokit. They were trying to enter the former apprentice's den. Her four kits padded over quietly, but Owlkit protested.
"We wanted to see Pantherpaw! He was going to teach us some cool moves!" the kit said.
"Oh no he isn't! Not in his condition!" Cinderheart meowed coming up from behind.
It was leafbare and many cats were sick with white or greencough. There was not catmint and little tansy. Not much to work with. Many cats had already died from it. Many cats were also sick (sick cats are Pantherpaw, Ivypool, Millie, Ferncloud, and Sorreltail).
It has also been about five moons since Leafpool was forced to leave.
"So how's apprentice life?" Icestripes asked, teasing. Spottedpaw didn't glare but smiled.
"You do know that me, being a medicine cat apprentice, are basically a medicine cat and don't really have apprentice chores." She meowed and then smiled again. "Oh yeah, you know with Silverpaw being the only apprentice you two will have to do some apprentice chores, right?"
"What? Bramblestar can't do that!" Icestripes mewed.
"Sure he can." Dovewing butted in, a few tail-lengths away. "When Ivypool and I just became warriors we had to do chores because there were no apprentices, be lucky there is at least one." Spottedpaw giggled at her brothers. She then stood up and padded back into the medicine cat den.
"Jayfeather?" she meowed after padding in.
"What is it, Spottedpaw?" he asked.
"Shouldn't we be leaving for Moonpool?" she asked her mentor.
"I guess so. But maybe you should only go, last time we both went Bumblestripe and Thornclaw died." He meowed.
"But…Jayfeather…" she trailed off and stared at the floor. She was hoping to get her medicine cat name tonight.
"Spottedpaw…" he said his voice sorry as he read her mind. "Just because you don't have your name doesn't mean you're not a real medicine cat. I promise that as soon as this sickness is over, you will get your name… Just don't tell anyone, I'm not really supposed to tell you."

Spottedpaw trudged through the snow on her way to Moonpool. The air was crisp and chilly and she could see her breath. She made out the scents of Tansyheart and Willowshine. During the past few moons Littlecloud had died from old age and greencough. And Mothwing, well she didn't really come to Moonpool anymore. She also picked up the scents of Krestelflight and Mintpaw coming from the WindClan direction. As normal the medicine cats met up together and traveled up to Moonpool. They stared at the pool… it was frozen!
I will NOT update on weekdays until like June 10th when I get out of school. I will be updating on Sundays, Saturdays, and Fridays though. Also I will NOT UPDATE until I get at least 3 comments on the chapter! So…. R&R PLZ!
