Okay, I promise that the next chapter will be a contest you all aren't expecting. This time though, we're going to be finishing up the standard starting contest. With a twist, of course, because this contest wouldn't be complete without one! Hope you're all having fun!

THE WINNERS

Third place goes to Featherkit by Wilder123! Loved the name, have a Feathertail plushie!

Second place goes to Splashkit by Hazelcrowe! Very original, try a Leopardstar plushie!

And first place goes to Whispkit by Scarheart of Darkclan! Don't feel silly, I'd have thought the same thing! Take a Spottedleaf plushie!

Everyone else, take home a stuffed mouse!

THE CONTEST

Now, see those three names up there? You're going to make them into warrior names. Trick is, I'm going to tell you how that kit gets her warrior name and it must then be based off of that. Read carefully, you don't want to skip any rules and get disqualified!

THE STORY

(I will call her Paw instead of choosing a single of the winning names)

As a kit, everyone believed that Paw would be taken as the next Medicine Cat Apprentice. She was too sick and weak to be a warrior, if she even lived through her kit-hood. But, in a twist of fate, a different cat was taken as the Medicine Cat's Apprentice; Lilypaw, a strongwilled and happy cat.

Even more surprising, Paw lived to be eight moons old. Her health didn't get any better, though it didn't get worse, and she never seemed to get any more filled out. Always skinny and sick. Still, she was given to Mosstwist to train to be a warrior.

And train she did, when she wasn't nest bound or confined to the camp, until one day, something happened...Three kits were missing from the camp, having snuck off earlier in the day, when a large storm passed over. There was hail, there was thunder, the entirety of the forest floor was covered in churning water.

All of the patrols were called back.

Paw kept looking.

Even when she was struck by a falling branch, slicing open her left flank and leaving her limping, Paw pushed foreward. Because no kit deserved to be given up on, even when all thought they would lost.

She found two kits that night; the other was forever lost. When she was given her warrior name the next day, she was promised one of them as an apprentice.

RULES

1. Only one name for each winning kit name. This means a total of three names per person.

3. Try not to send in names that have already been sent.

4. You don't have to send in the reason for the name but it would be appreciated.
