Willowkit bounced around the camp clearing noisily, playing with her kin. She quietly snuck up to Robinkit and jumped right on him. Robinkit jumped up with a jolt. He was pinned down by his sisters weight! Robinkit fought his way out and suddenly Gingerkit jumped onto him! Willowkit looked up at Rustkit who was sun bathing happily. She quickly, but quietly ran up behind him and pounced.

"Hey!" he screamed, and at then realized it was only his sister.

"Whoa, someone's in a bad mood." Willowkit frowned.

Rustkit got up and followed his sister over to their wresting siblings.

"…and you'll never get a chance this time! The almighty Tigerstar will take over all of ThunderClan! And you will suffer at your own stupidity!" Robinkit was mewing when Willowkit trotted over. Poor Gingerkit was trapped under her brother. After all, Robinkit had been the largest kit in Squirrelflight's litter.

"Tigerstar? No, it must be a mistake. I thought he was dead…or is he?" Willowkit turned to see her father, Brambleclaw. Robinkit quickly got off of his sister. Brambleclaw nosed him.

"You have great fighting skills…but don't practice on your sister. Not a good idea." He paused, "you can use them on your mentor in a few moons."

"Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey come for a Clan meeting under the Highledge!" Firestar yowled. Brambleclaw lead his kits into the nursery. Squirrelflight came rushing over. She nuzzled up to her kits and settled down near the entrance to the nursery so she could here the meeting. Willowkit listened eagerly.

"Silkkit, you are old enough to become an apprentice. You are finally 6 moons old. In my powers in StarClan, you shall now be known as Silkpaw." Firestar rested his muzzle on her head and she licked his shoulder respectably in return. "your mentor shall be Berryfur. Berryfur, you are ready to take on your first apprentice, Your mentor was Brambleclaw, and he taught you courage and great fighting skill. I hope you can make a great warrior out of Silkpaw."

Every one chanted 'Silkpaw! Silkpaw' in one, clear meow.

Berryfur's face lit up with pride. He had just become a warrior a few moons ago, there was so many other senior warriors to choose from. He walked over to Silkpaw and they touched noses.

"When are we going out to train?" Silkpaw asked eagerly.

"How about tomorrow at dawn." Berryfur suggested.

"ok! I can't wait till then!" mewed Silkpaw and ran off toward the apprentices den.

Dawn…the next morning.

Willowkit looked around the clearing. Berryfur and Silkpaw had just left the clearing. She turned around to see Gingerkit sitting behind her.

"Come on. Let's follow them." Willowkit mewed.

Gingerkit nodded and they scampered quickly out of the clearing before anyone could see them.

Willowkit put her nose to the forest floor. She quickly found the scent of Berryfur and soon spotted them. Berryfur was meowing, but she couldn't quite understand him…

She got closer.

"So Silkpaw, what kind of tree is this?"

"um…an oak tree?"

"Yes! Right. What about this one?"

SNAP!

Gingerkit froze.

"Shh!" Willowkit hissed quietly. "if you can't be quiet, you'll have to leave."

Gingerkit had stepped on a twig. She looked down at her paws.

"Sorry."

"This is rare training we could get, and then we could become warriors faster." Willowkit growled.

Willowkit looked up. Berryfur and Silkpaw were gone. She opened her mouth to scent where they had gone, but an even stronger, new scent flooded into her.

"what is that?" she asked herself quietly. Suddenly, big dark figures came into view. Cats. Not ThunderClan. Uh-oh. This was not good at all.

She quickly hid in a near by bush where Gingerkit had been sheltering. Lots of cats were running full speed towards camp.

"We have to warn them!" Gingerkit squealed. She looked scared. Willowkit could smell her fear scent.

"Come on."

Back at camp…

"Where's Willowkit and Gingerkit?"

"I don't know." Rustkit replied.

Squirrelflight looked worried.

"Brambleclaw!"

"Brambleclaw's on patrol."

Squirrelflight looked up to see Cloudtail.

"oh…well then. But have you seen my kits..?" she dug her claws into the ground.

"No I hav-…"

A loud yowl sounded in the front of the clearing.

RiverClan.

"RiverClan? But why would Mistystar attack?" Squirrelflight asked.

Soon the clearing was raging with war.

It wasn't Mistystar who was leading ht attack it was….
