A sharp breeze ruffled the air and brought the scent of pine trees and the musky water from under the moss. The dapples of sunlight that came through the area hit the newly grown grass. Quick movements of brown moved in some parts as mice hid in the holes in the ground. In the damper parts, lizards scuttled along the sides as frogs croaked to one another in the small pools. At this, a silver furred she-cat burst into the area, grabbing hold of a frog in her jaws. That, was me. I was finishing my assessment from Nightfoot. I had already caught a mouse, three lizards, and now a frog. How much more did I need to catch for her to be satisfied? Also, I needed to be back in Thunderclan territory soon. My mentor there, Leafbreeze, was said to be planning to have my assessment tomorrow.

"Great, two nights without sleep." I thought

I walked away carrying my frog and dug it in the soft mud near it.

"Excellent work Silverpaw."

I jumped as a black she-cat walked over to me, her green eyes full of happiness.

"You have done excellent for your assessment. Let's get this prey back to camp and I'll tell Rosestar that you passed." Nightfoot said

My eyes widened in happiness. I was becoming a warrior today! But, only for one clan. I had no true clan since I had two clans as my home. I was Silverpaw of Shadowclan and Flowerpaw of Thunderclan. I was still happy that day as I walked through the marshy territory of Shadowclan. The few patches of sunlight hit my silver pelt. I entered camp through the thorn tunnel. I saw Pebblespot enter the nursery to see his mate. Crowflight was expecting his kits and was accompanied by Mosspoppy, who had Foxclaw's kits. I watched as Nightfoot ran off towards Rosestar's den and I ran into the apprentice's den, where Blackpaw was enjoying a lizard.

"Why are you so jumpy?" She asked

"I passed my assessment!" I shouted

"Really! That's excellent Silverpaw!"

I turned and saw Blackpaw's sister, Lizardpaw. The two black she-cats were complete opposite. Blackpaw was a bit grumpy at times, didn't like to ask for help, liked to boast about her skills. Lizardpaw was so full of life and a bit modest at times, but was open to new things.

"All cat who are old enough to catch their own prey, gather under the Low Branch for a meeting!" Rosestar called

"That's for you!" Lizardpaw said

I smiled in happiness as I exited the den. As I left, my head hit the brambles that were surrounding the camp.

"Watch out." Rainheart said

I smiled sheepishly. I shook my head and sat inside the crowd next to Nightfoot and the medicine cat den, that smelled of pine needles. I looked up at Rosestar, who proudly sat atop the low hanging hazel branch where she sat to make annoucements.

"Every time I do this it makes our clan stronger. We gain a new warrior and with that a new possible mentor and an excellent fighter and protector of our kits. Silverpaw, step forward." Rosestar said

I happily walked up to the Low Branch and sat next to Rosestar. Her tortoiseshell pelt shining in the sunlight that escaped from the trees empty patches.

"I know you have not always been around, but when you are, you have shown excellent dedication and strength to Shadowclan. Silverpaw, from this day on you shall be known as Silverpool. Starclan honors your strength and loyalty and welcomes you as a full warrior of Shadowclan."

"Silverpool! Silverpool!"

I couldn't believe it! I was a full warrior!

"Now, there is a cat who's been waiting to become an apprentice." Rosestar said

I stepped down from the perch and walked over to my clanmates. How much I wished I had a sibling or a parent in this clan. But, I didn't. I was here half of my life and the other half in Thunderclan, where I had my father to praise me. My mother died of an attack from Riverclan since we supposedly ''stole prey''. Why would I even eat fish?

"Sunkit, come forward." Rosestar said

A ginger she-kit followed Mosspoppy out of the nursery and out into the open. Sunkit was finally six moons and I could see the happiness in her eyes. Sunkit ran away from Mosspoppy's grasp and over to where Rosestar was.

"Sunkit," Rosestar began, "It is time for you to become an apprentice. From this day on until you have gained your warrior name you shall be known as Sunpaw! Your mentor shall be," She studied the clan cats, "Earthpelt."

The tom's eyes widened. He seemed way too young to be getting an apprentice, but, he proudly stepped forward and up to his apprentice.

"Earthpelt, this is your first apprentice. I am trusting you will pass down your wisdom and patience to Sunpaw." Rosestar said

"Earthpelt! Earthpelt!"

The ginger she-cat leapt down as I saw the replacement deputy, Pebblespot, walk towards me. Since our actual deputy, Shadetail, was in the nursery with Littlefang's kits. I had never heard of a deputy having kits, so it was kinda weird that it happened.

"I want you to find Rainheart, Littlefang, and Mosspoppy." Pebblespot said

I nodded and ran into the warrior's den. I saw that my nest was already being made by Rainheart and Nightfoot.

"Wow! Thanks guys!" I shouted

"No problem Silverpool." Nightfoot said, "We know that when your vigil is done, you won't want to make your own nest."

I kindly nodded as I walked over to my new nest. Pine needles and moss were nice and fresh and it smelled freshly of my territory.

"Rainheart." I said, "Pebblespot wanted me to find you so he could bring a patrol out for hunting."

"Who did he want?" He asked

I thought of what Pebblespot said. I repeated the names and Rainheart nodded.

"Well, Mosspoppy is probably with Sunpaw. Littlefang might be in the nursery."

"Okay. I'll check the nursery. You check the apprentice's den." I said

I left and headed towards the nursery. I ducked under the low branches and went into the darkened nursery. The two she-cat's black pelts were almost gone in the minimal amount of light. I did manage to see their eyes and their outlines. I heard Ashkit squeal next to Shadetail as Ravenkit and Graykit tumbled around in the rear of the nursery. There was another outline next to Shadetail.

"Littlefang?" I asked

The cat looked up and it was Littlefang. The tom walked up to me and I said-

"Pebblespot wants you on a hunting patrol with him, Mosspoppy, and Rainheart."

Littlefang nodded and nuzzled his kit. We left the nursery and I spotted Rainheart with Mosspoppy in the camp. Pebblespot was coming towards the group as I pointed my tail to the group. I went back to the warrior's den and I laid down in my fresh nest.

"Now, tomorrow I get to go through this again." I thought

"Well, let's go." Pebblespot said

I watched them leave and I entered my den. I wondered what was occuring in Thunderclan right now.
