Hey lovelies! I know this story might seem like it came out of nowhere, but the lovely That anime-cartoon fangirl inspired me to do a story based off of my StormClan challenge: What Goes Around. It sounded like a great idea, and I want to give her the credit she deserves for the idea of making it into a story.
Most of the names came from the top of my head because they felt fitting for that cat (as I did with What Goes Around).
I do hope you enjoy!
Rabbitpaw huffed in annoyance as Silverwing scolded him for "one again" breaking the code when he at a mouse on the hunting patrol. The pale silver, almost white, she-cat could tell he had stopped listening a while ago. Her darker silver tail lashed and her golden eyes narrowed.
"When will you learn that we have a Code for a reason? I understand you're not Clanborn but that doesn't excuse you from acting like a spoiled-rotten kitty-" Rabbitpaw almost didn't even bother trying to hold back the snarl by the time his mentor caught what she was about to say.
Go on. He mentally challenged as he glared at her. Say it. The whole clan already knows my mother was a former kittypet, go on and say it.
Instead Silverwing turned away and beckoned him with her tail. He reluctantly followed, his dark amber eyes narrowed on his mentor the whole time. Before they got to ShadowClan's camp, she stopped and looked at him.
"I'm going to tell Echostar you are not to go to the gathering tomorrow. I'm restricting you to camp for the next two days, and I want you to do whatever the elders tell you to do, do you understand?"
"What? That's not fair!" He spat, the fur on his hackles raising.
"It's not fair that you ate prey that could have gone to Applestorm either. She has newborn kits she needs to take care of, and that prey could have helped her produce more milk for Amberkit, Shadekit, Beekit, and Pinekit. There's no other queens there to help her either, ever since your mother, Jade-" she shook her head and quickly corrected herself. "Doetail moved out of the nursery." Before he could even think about continuing to argue with her, his the pale silver she-cat nudged him towards camp.
"Go to the apprentice's den. I need to tell Echostar, Wolfspirit, and Doetail to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't go sneaking out of camp." Rabbitpaw inwardly cringed at the thought of Wolfspirit, the deputy, keeping watch on him. It wasn't like Wolfspirit was a mean cat, or even hated him and his mother's bloodline, it was just the tom had a very intimidating build that probably would send actual wolves running to their queen-wolves. Actually, no, he doubted that, but it didn't change the fact he was glad Wolfspirit wasn't his mentor. Smug little Kestrelpaw could keep the deputy.
As Rabbitpaw made his way to the apprentice den, he was stopped by Wildpaw and Hazelpaw. Though he and Hazelpaw weren't always off on good terms, he was glad to see his best friend, Wildpaw. The messy-furred brown tom had always been able to read Rabbitpaw's emotions so easily, something the cream and brown apprentice hated.
"What fox stole your vole?" His pale, almost sickly looking, green eyes looked his friend over.
"Silverwing scolding me for nothing again." He answered.
"She's been doing that a lot lately."
"Yeah. She acts as if I'm nothing but an annoying burr in her pelt." He huffed, sitting down outside the den with the two cats. Like always, Hazelpaw was doing more listening then talking. He was waiting for her say something about "you should be listening to Silverwing and maybe she wouldn't scold you" like she always did by the end of the conversation. Instead she only remained quiet. Rabbitpaw secretly was hoping she finally decided to stop that whole bunch of annoyance he heard way too many times before from her.
By the time the sun had started to set, Wolfspirit and Echostar had already scolded him for breaking the code, Doetail pleaded with him to try to behave himself, and he had to bring prey to the elders after checking them for ticks. As he laid down his head to go to sleep, he cursed Silverwing's name. Right now he hated her with all his heart. This was going to be his first gathering, this was going to be the gathering after he was made an apprentice, and she ruined it for him. He found himself opening his eyes, only to find he wasn't in his den. He was is a strange marshy forest he had never seen before, even though the scent reminded him so much of ShadowClan.
"You must be careful of the path you choose, little one. We don't want you to have to learn your lesson the hard way." He whipped his cream and brown head around to see Duskfoot, the tom who had been the first to welcome Doetail when she was still known as Jade. He never got to meet Duskfoot himself, for the tom died the day before Rabbitpaw had been born.
"What do you mean I'll have to learn my lesson the hard way?" He didn't want to seem like he was challenging the tom. He respected the smokey black tom more then he could ever admit.
"Just let us guide your paws, trust the stars, and remember the Code that keeps us apart from loners and rogues."

Here's Chapter one and the alliances! I will be doing this one a bit differently then I've done my other stories, so bear with me on this.
Also, Dash was a rogue, Sammy a kittypet. Jade/Doetail and Rabbitpaw are pure kittypet, and were just in dumb luck to get accepted into ShadowClan. Rabbitpaw will be your example on why you shouldn't break the code.
