AUTHOR'S NOTE

This is based off of a challenge I wrote for the Children of the Shadows forum. I decided to make a full story out of it :D Also, I'm aware that this is a cliche for the Warriors fandom, but I'm going to write it anyway. Also, this is a bit of a side story for my Tribe story, Sins and Virtues. Expect the name to be changed at some point.

A small, thick furred kit peered out from the shadows that was the nursery. Her red fur was unable to be seen while the black fur fit in perfectly with her surroundings, and her amber eyes seemed like two glowing beacons in the dark. She was crouched close to the ground, watching as her sister pranced around the clearing for the first time.

The two sisters were complete opposites when you looked at them. The red kit's sister was silver with white paws, ears, tail tip, and almost golden eyes. The warriors watched as the kit turned her wide eyes around the clearing, taking in all of the ruins that made up their dens. No cat turned to look at her red-furred sister.

Lonekit looked back at the kit and flicked her tail; a silent encouragement for her to creep out from the nursery. Foxkit's eyes quickly scanned the clearing once again before she followed her into the clearing. The looks on the warrior's faces changed as soon as they saw Foxkit. Their eyes narrowed and they turned to murmur to each other. Foxkit's ears caught parts of conversations.

"Look at her fur…"

"She'll never blend in…"

"Stick out like dog scent…"

She flattened her ears against her head as Lonekit padded farther into the clearing. She ignored the murmurers targeted at her sister as she went towards a ginger she-cat with green eyes that was a bit smaller than the other cats in the Clan.

"Hello," she meowed. "I'm Lonekit."

The cat nodded at her. "I'm Amberpaw," she meowed.

"You're an apprentice?" She nodded. "Who's your mentor?"

"Goldenapple," the cat flicked her tail towards a small, russet colored she-cat that both kits turned their eyes too. She was sitting next to a sandy colored she-cat and was one of the first to start talking about Foxkit. "The cat next to her is Roseleaf." Well, that answered that question. Amberpaw looked back at Lonekit. "Want to meet the other apprentices?" A smile grew on Lonekit's face and she nodded happily. Amberpaw stood up and led her towards a den, leaving Foxkit behind.

Foxkit sat down and looked around her. A few cats were still casting glances over at her, but most of them were just ignoring her. She looked at the towering ruins that made up the dens and were almost completely covered in moss. She watched as a pure white she-cat padded out of a den and looked at the bright red she-kit. She padded across the clearing to join her. "Hello, Foxkit," she meowed.

Foxkit's ears perked up. "You know my name?" she nodded.

"I'm Moonleaf, the Medicine Cat."

Foxkit tilted her head. "Medicine Cat?"

Moonleaf nodded again. "It means that I take care of cats when they're injured or sick."

"But what if you get attacked or…. Something?"

The Medicine Cat purred. "We learn some fighting moves," she meowed. "Only enough to protect ourselves if we have to. But most cats wouldn't dare attack a Medicine Cat." She quickly looked around. "Where's Lonekit?"

"Amberpaw took her to meet the other apprentices."

"Without you?" Foxkit nodded. Moonleaf murmured something under her breath, but Foxkit was paying attention to the light and gray tabby tom appeared on top of the structure that towered above the rest of the camp.

"May all cats old enough to walk the stones join here beneath the Ancient Tower for a Clan meeting," he meowed, his golden eyes shining. Cats left their dens and gathered around him. Lonekit padded out after Amberpaw and a few other apprentices. A brown she-cat with black paws and a light gray she-cat left the nursery. The brown she-cat, who Foxkit knew was Heartfall, glared at her.

She couldn't help but notice that that was all her mother seemed to be doing to her.

"Get back to the nursery," she meowed. "You're not old enough," Foxkit nodded and bounded back to the shadows of the nursery. Willowlight, the other she-cat ignored her as the red she-kit passed her. Foxkit peeked out of the den and watched the meeting, waiting for Lonekit to join her and watched Moonleaf pad over to the den she came from and sit outside of it. Instead, she listened as the cat at the top of the tower started speaking. His voice carried across the clearing, easily reaching the kit's ears.

"We have gathered here today to watch two apprentices become warriors." His eyes looked into the crowd. "Featherfire, Spiritbreeze, are Songpaw and Waterpaw ready to become warriors?"

Another voice that was harder for Foxkit to hear spoke. "Songpaw has trained hard and is ready to give anything for MossClan."

A quieter voice, that Foxkit was surprised that she could still hear, spoke next. "Waterpaw isn't originally from this Clan, but he is as loyal to us as any other cat."

The cat on the tower nodded before looking up to the sky. "I, Sparkstar, leader of MossClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand your noble code, and we commend them to you as warriors in their turn." He turned his eyes to just below the tower. "Songpaw, Waterpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," the two voices rang out clearly across the clearing.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. Songpaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Songshade. StarClan honors your strength and wit, and we welcome you as a full warrior of MossClan." Sparkstar leapt off of the tower, and a few moments later Foxkit heard him again. "Waterpaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Waternight. StarClan honors your strength and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of MossClan."

The Clan started chanting the new warrior's names. "Songshade! Waternight! Songshade! Waternight!" I can't wait to be a warrior! Foxkit thought as she murmured the names along with the rest of her Clan, not wanting to get caught by Heartfall.

In her excitement, she forgot about the fact that Lonekit was never sent back to the nursery.
