"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the highrock for a Clan meeting." Yowled the Swiftclan leader, Runningstar. He was a tall and pure white sleek tom-cat with a scar aross his chest. At once all the Warriors and two Apprentices headed out of their dens and some warriors came from just stacking up the freshkill pile.
"What's going on?" Asked Clearpath.
"I hope nothing bad." replied Gingerfoot.
"We have spotted Lakeclan Warriors in our territory once again these past moons. I and every other cat I'm sure is getting angry about them killing our prey and taking it for themselves. i think it's about time we have a chat with them." Meowed Runningstar. "I am going to bring three Warriors and my trusty Deputy, Mosspelt with me to Lakeclan. The rest of my Warriors and the apprentices shall guard the camp from any unwanted guests." Runningstar added.
"Runningstar?" A Warrior asked.
"Yes Ashclaw?" Asked Runnngstar as he looked down at the tom-cat.
"What if Lakeclan attacks your group. Shouldn't you bring more Warriors?" He asked, but Runningstar shook his head.
"Why don't we wait for the gathering." Meowed Windpool. Runningstar started to get frushrated.
"Do you want to lose prey? Because the gathering is too far away. We need to take actions before they start attacking our can!" Hissed Mosspelt, who padded up to stand beside his leader.
"I agree with Mosspelt." Meowed Reedpaw. Windpool laid her tail on her Apprentice's shoulder to hush him up.
"Be quiet, Reedpaw!" Hissed Windpool. Runningstar sighed and turned to look at Mosspelt, who nodded to him, then he turned back to his clan.
"Fine. I'll take two more. But I decided to make Reedpaw and Whitepaw Warriors, we leave at Sunhigh." Meowed Runningstar. Reedpaw and his brother Whitepaw had huge smiles on their faces.
"Really!" Cheered Whitepaw, who sat in between Ashclaw and Reedpaw.
"Yes, so come forth fellow Apprentices." Meowed Runningstar. Reedpaw and Whitepaw did what they were told and padded up on top of the High rock. Mosspelt had already joined Gingerfoot, Clearpath, and Hazelfur down below.
"I can't believe this, can you?" Reedpaw asked his Kin, Whitepaw.
"This is what we have been training, so hard for, remember." Whitepaw shot his older Kin a smile. When they made it to the top, Runningstar greeted them with a warm smile. Meanwhile, Ivykit poked her head out of the Nursery. Her leafy green eyes grew wide with shock. All those warriors and the Leader in one place.
I wonder what they are doing? Ivykit wondered out of her den and into the crowed of cats.
"Ivykit!" Ivykit heard her name being hissed out. She turned to see her father, Mosspelt.
"What are you doing out of the Nursery?" Mosspelt asked in a harsh tone, which made her flinch.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what everyone is doing." Meowed Ivykit. Mosspelt sighed before sitting down beside his kit.
"You can stay as long as you are quiet. Reedpaw and Whitepaw are about to be made Warriors." Meowed Mosspelt as he licked his kit's forehead. Ivykit and Mosspelt had a close relationship. Most Toms didn't bother with their young after they're old enough to be Apprentices. Mosspelt cared so much for his only Kit that it would kill him if he lost her.
"I, Runningstar, leader of Swiftclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these Apprentices. Both have trained hard to under stand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn." Meowed Runningstar.
Runningstar. Ivykit's eyes glowed with joyment.
"I have seen Windpool teach you her skills very well." Meowed Runningstar. Reedpaw nodded. "Reedpaw, Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?" Runningstar asked Reedpaw.
"I do." He replied.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Reedpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Reedheart. StarClan honors your Strength and your Honesty and we welcome you as a full warrior of Swiftclan." Reedpaw, now Reedheart dipped his head in return and stepped back, so his younger Kin can earn his name.
"And Whitepaw, I have watched Gingerfoot train you vary well in my spaire time and I trust that she has tought you well. " Whitepaw nodded. "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?" Asked Runningstar.
"I do." Replied Whitepaw.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Whitepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Whitestone. StarClan honors your Independence and your Intelligence and we welcome you as a full warrior of Swiftclan." Whitestone, once Whitepaw dipped his head to his leader like his kin had done.
Reedheart and Whitestone padded down from the highrock and at once the Warriors along with Ivykit padded up to them and started to cheer their new names.
"Reedheart! Whitestone! Reedheart! Whitestone!" They cheered on.
Mosspelt padded into the Nursery with Ivykit to find Silverpool running around the Nursery in panic mode. "Oh, Ivykit!" Silverpool cried out as she saw her kit. She ran and started to smother her with licks. "Where have you gone to my kit?" Silverpool asked after licking Ivykit, so much.
"I went to watch Reedpaw and Whitepaw become Warriors! They're now called Reedheart and Whitestone!" Ivykit cheered.
"Mosspelt, did Runningstar get mad that she wondered into the clan meeting?" Silverpool asked. Mosspelt licked his kit's ear before answering.
"No, she was, so quiet I dout he noticed." Replied Mosspelt.
"So was that all, Runningstar did?" Silverpool asked.
"No. Runningstar is taking Ashclaw, Clearpath, Gingerfoot, Twanyfur, Hawknose, and I to Lakeclan to ask why they are trustpassing in Swiftclan territory. We leave at sunhigh." Meowed Mosspelt.
"Oh no, Mosspelt do you think he will try to attack Riverstar and her clan?" Silverpool asked in her worry tone. Mosspelt shook his head and sighed.
"I'm not sure. He has changed these past moons." Mosspelt meowed to the pretty silver Queen. One of her front legs was completely white and her eyes were brown. Mosspelt turned back to Ivykit.
"You go to sleep now. I'll be leaving at sunhigh, so I wont bve here when you wake up, but I'll return as promised." He rubbed his cheek on Ivykit's cheek before leaving his Kit.
Ivykit looked over at the other Queen, Rosepelt. A pretty she-cat with tan fur and a white v shape spot on her chest layed aleep in the back. She was going to have Hawknose's kits soon. There was another Queen named Flowerfeathers. She was the second oldest, Silverpool being the oldest of the three. Flowerfeathers had Runningstar's kit a while last moonhigh. They didn't have their eyes open yet. Flowerfeathers was the grumpiest Queen in the Nursery. She was a calico she-cat with yellow eyes. She laid awake feeding her kits near Silverpool. "Ivykit, you heard your Father. Let's get some sleep." Meowed Silverpool as she laid down beside her kit.
"Okay." Replied Ivykit as she snuggled in with her Mother.
