Hi kittens! I know a lot of you are wondering what I'm doing writing another story. Well, I'll tell you. I am extremely addicted to these books even though I have been reading them for years. So I wanted to do a story about it. I am just coming up with things in my head, so it may not be too good. I also wanted to shout out to SwiftbirdTC! You should go check out her/his warrior cat name generator. I think it's awesome. Also I came up with some of these names from her/his name generator.
One evening in the Windclan camp, a small brown and black spotted tabby was giving birth to two beautiful kits. The young she-cat was called Pebblepelt. Her mate's name was Cinderclaw. Cinderclaw is a black tom with a white muzzle. He's fairly large and is also the clan's deputy. Sadly, he could not be with Pebblepelt since he was out hunting. The Windclan Medicine cat, Graystorm, was chewing up a few leaves of borage for the young she-cat.
"Pebblepelt, stay calm. I'm fixing you a borage poultice. Breathe." Sang the sing-song voice of Graystorm. The three kits finally were born fully. Pebblepelt and Graystorm started to lick the kittens clean. Pebblepelt decided to wait until Cinderclaw could see his kits to name them. Graystorm gave her the soft chewed-up leaves of borage. He explained that the borage would help her make more milk for her kits, as well as make her milk better for them.
The two kits nuzzled up to their mother's stomach and began suckling. A good sign for the kits. The small balls of fur were purring slightly, though the purring was getting louder. There was one tom and one she-kit. The first tom was a big, brown tabby. He had glittering green eyes and a long tail. The she-kit was a small, pure black, little kitten. She had bright blue eyes with fairly long legs. Soon, an apprentice named Stormpaw, a small gray cat, came up to Pebblepelt and asked if she would like him to go fetch Cinderclaw for her. Pebblepelt told him that she would love it if he would. The apprentice ran off and returned a few minutes later with the mate of the new mother. Cinderclaw raced into the small camp and into the bracken bush nursery. Cinderclaw left the young gray apprentice in his tracks. Stormpaw was panting heavily and was slumped on the ground. Cinderclaw saw his beautiful mate and kits and yowled with joy. The call startled the clan leader, Crowstar. Crowstar ran into the nursery, ready to pounce. Crowstar was a gray-black tom. His mate Leafpool, ran into the nursery after him. (If you guys don't know these two, I suggest that you read the books in order. These two are my favorite characters. I know Leafpool was a medicine cat and all, but I don't give a care in the world about that) The kits started to mew and cry out. Pebblepelt curled her tail protectively around the small bundles of fur. Cinderclaw whisked around to face the 'intruders'. He relaxed a moment later as he noticed that it was just the leader.
"Sorry, Crowstar. I didn't mean to startle you. I'm just so happy that these kits are finally here!" Cinderclaw exclaimed. He dipped his head toward his leader. Crowstar blinked in understanding. He and his mate padded out of the cozy nursery. Cinderclaw and Pebblepelt decided to name the kits right then. They named the brown tabby tom, Bramblekit and the she-cat was named Nightkit.
Let's skip six moons later.
"May all cats old enough to catch prey, gather under Highledge!" Crowstar's voice rang out to the camp of Windclan. A few fox lengths away, stood the five kits, being groomed by their mothers and fathers. Nightkit, Bramblekit, Sootkit, and Dapplekit all stood outside of the nursery. Their mothers' grooming their little pelts. Sootkit was a gray cat with small black spots all over his body. Dapplekit was a slender kit with big cream colored blotches all over her silver-gray pelt. The kits were all extremely excited about this day. Mudkit was sitting calmly by Graystorm, the Clan's Medicine cat.
"Tonight, five kits will become apprentices. The first, Bramblekit." All of the kits padded up to the Highledge. "Bramblekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you are made into a warrior, you will be known as Bramblepaw. Your mentor will be Swiftleg. I hope Swiftleg will pass on all she knows on to you." The tortoiseshell warrior padded up to the Highledge and stood by her new apprentice.
"Swiftleg, you are ready to take on a new apprentice. You have been excellently trained by Ashfoot, and have shown yourself to be strong and loyal. You will be the mentor of Bramblepaw, and I expect you to pass down all you know to Bramblepaw." The gray-black, leader says. Swiftleg presses her nose to the small apprentice's nose.
"The second kit is called Dapplekit. Dapplekit, you have reached the age of five moons, even though it is not the usual age to be apprenticed, Graystorm has had a message from Starclan, that you must be apprenticed at the age of five moons. Dapplekit, it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you are made into a warrior, you will be known as Dapplepaw. Your mentor will be Stormfur. I hope that Stormfur will pass on all that he knows to you." The gray warrior pads up to Dapplepaw.
"Stormfur, you are ready to take on your first apprentice. You have been trained well by Featherheart, and have shown yourself to be swift and intelligent. You will be the mentor of Dapplepaw, and I expect you to pass down all you know to her." Crowstar says excitedly. Stormfur and Dapplepaw touch noses for a few seconds.
"The third kit will be Sootkit. Sootkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is now time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you are made a warrior, will be called Sootpaw! Your mentor will be your older brother, Driftcloud. I hope that he will pass down all that he knows on to you. Driftcloud, you are ready to take on your first apprentice. You have been trained well by your father, Cloudeye, and have shown yourself to be kind and loyal. You will be the mentor of your brother, Sootpaw, and I expect you to pass on all that you know to Sootpaw." The slender clan leader said. The young warrior and the new apprentice touched noses, but you could see a tear slip out of both of the brothers eyes.
"The fourth kit to be apprenticed tonight, is Nightkit. Nightkit, you have reached the age of six moons old, and it is now time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you are made a warrior, you will be known as, Nightpaw. Leafpool will be your mentor. I hope that she will pass down all that she knows to you. Leafpool, you are ready to take on another apprentice. You have been trained exceedingly well by Cinderheart, and have shown yourself to be brave and kind. You will be the mentor of Nightpaw, and I expect you to pass down all you know to her." Crowstar said. The black apprentice and the tabby she touched noses briefly.
"Bramblepaw! Dapplepaw! Sootpaw! Nightpaw!" The clan exclaimed excitedly.
The gray medicine cat jumped up to the Highledge and began to speak.
"I wish to apprentice an apprentice, and have chosen the right one. Cats of all Windclan, as you know, I will not be around forever. So, it is time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown loyalty, kindness, and intelligence. Your next medicine cat will be Mudkit!" Graystorm exclaimed. Mudkit was a slender, brown spotted kitten. He also had blazing green eyes.
"Mudkit, do you accept the post of apprentice to Graystorm?" Crowstar asks.
Mudkit replies with;"I do" The leader nodded to the new apprentice and stepped back, so that Graystorm could speak.
"Then at the half-moon, you will travel to the Moonpool to be accepted by Starclan in front of the other medicine cats." The medicine cat says calmly, though you could see a twinkle of excitement in his eyes.
"May the good wishes of all of Windclan go with you." Crowstar says loudly. Graystorm and Mudpaw touch noses with each other. The clan yells out the new medicine cat apprentice's name.
"Mudpaw! Mudpaw!" The five new apprentices all beamed with pride, though you could tell that not all of the apprentices were as happy as others. (A.N. Ahem, *cough* Sootpaw *Cough*)
The four apprentices met up with the two already apprenticed apprentices. Mudpaw padded into the Medicine Cat den and began to talk to Graystorm. The other apprentices were talking to the older apprentices. The two older apprentices were named Crowpaw and Featherpaw. Crowpaw was a grey-black cat like his father, Crowstar. He had a long tail and was extremely sleek. Featherpaw was a tabby she-cat and was very long tailed. Featherpaw led the way into the apprentice den and then showed the new apprentices around the rest of the clan, including her father's den. Sootpaw soon walked off, bored of the older apprentices. His brother padded to his lonely side and licked his ear.
"Hey. What's wrong? Is it about me being your mentor?" His smooth voice whispered. The younger brother pushed his brother off of him and stalked away from the larger warrior.
"Stupid idiot. I wish he had never even bothered to save me. I wish my father had never died." The gray warrior mumbled. He stalked of to sit beside the three other new apprentices at the entrance tunnel. He sat down beside Nightpaw and Bramblepaw.
Again going to do a time skip, but this time only to morning.
It was finally sunup in the camp. The four apprentices had finished their vigil and were allowed to go to bed. All four padded into the apprentice's den. Sootpaw curled up in a moss nest beside Nightpaw and Dapplepaw. Bramblepaw curled up near his sister Nightpaw. They slept until sunhigh.
When they woke up, Driftcloud was waiting for Sootpaw by the fresh-kill pile. Stormfur and Swiftleg were there waiting for the apprentices to awaken from their slumber. Nightpaw couldn't see Leafpool anywhere. She padded up to her mother and prodded her side with her little paw.
"Mom, have you seen Leafpool? I haven't see her anywhere." Nightpaw mewed to her mother. Her mother shook her head no and shooed her away. Nightpaw walked over to the elders den and asked if they had seen Leafpool. They said they hadn't, but they did tell her to check the leaders den. They also asked her if she would bring them some fresh-kill. She nodded and ran toward the fresh-kill pile, but before she got there, a ball of fur landed on her, taking the breath out of her.
"Oof" She exhaled. Once the death ball of fur got off of her, she noticed that the furry death ball was only Bramblepaw and Sootpaw wrestling.
"Stop it at once! You stupid furballs ran into Nightpaw!" A strict voice came from the medicine cat den area. Graystorm padded up to the apprentices and bit the scruffs of their necks and moved them off of the startled Nightpaw.
"Come with me, Nightpaw. I'll help you with that scratch" Graystorm said, after glaring at the two sulking apprentice through slit eyes. The two apprentices said that they were sorry and padded to their mentors. Nightpaw had just noticed the pain in her shoulder, when she realized that her shoulder was bleeding. She limped into the Medicine den and lay down in a nest of moss beside the elder, Dovewing. Dovewing was snoring softly, as she slept. Graystorm padded into the storage area of the medicine den. Mudpaw comes back with a few poppy seeds.
"Hi, Mudpaw. What are the poppy seeds for?" She asked her friend. The young medicine cat put down the seeds.
"They're for Littlecloud. He's having trouble sleeping, so Graystorm asked me to bring him some poppy seeds" He replied. He picked the little seeds back up, and headed out of the den, exiting the entrance. Soon, Graystorm, came back into the main den carrying some cobwebs. He had also brought out a stalk of goldenrod. Graystorm sets the cobwebs on Nightpaw's shoulder and starts chewing up the goldenrod.
Well, I hope you liked it! I really just came up with this on a whim, so I understand that it may not be the best story ever... but I hope you like it! I don't mind flames at all. I'm a pretty tough person, when it comes to being insulted and dissed. I don't mind at all. Please give me feed back and suggestions. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this little story.
Bye Bye,
