Author Note: Hmmmmm, I wonder who the tortoiseshell is?
And please leave a review, I kinda fell discourage right now...
Chapter 1
"Jaykit get up!" said a small gray-pelted kit.
"Get off of me Stormkit," complained the small, yet strong gray-tabby kit Jaykit.
"Come on Jaykit today a bright sunny day and you been sleeping forever, so WAKE UP!"
"Okay, okay keep your claws sheathed," yawned Jaykit as he spoke.
Jaykit and Stormkit side by side padded out of the nursery. Dovewing, their mother, left them for a while, so she could go and have a walk in the forest. "I can't believe Dovewing didn't let me go with her!" complained Stormkit, "she knows I will be okay, because I'm old enough now."
"No, you aren't," grunted the familiar voice of their father Bumblestripe, "your only five moons old with one more moon to go until you're ready."
"But…," started Stormkit.
"Come on Stormkit let's go and play" said Jaykit as he pushed his brother closer to the nursery.
Jaykit waited for Bumblestripe to walk off to the Lionstar's den on the highledge. Lionstar, thought Jaykit with a feeling of nausea. He thought he could feel something tugging on his mind, but he couldn't quite get a grasp on it.
"Jaykit, I got an idea," said Stormkit suddenly, "we can sneak out of camp if we use the passage through the dirtplace.
"Really?" asked Jaykit.
"Yep," replied Stormkit, "well, I'm pretty sure it will work."
The two kits slowly padded to the dirtplace. All cats greeted Jaykit like he was a very old friend not just a five-moon old kit. Little did he know, the reason for this was because of his extraordinary similarity with the last medicine and Lionstar's brother, Jayfeather. As the kits approach the dirtplace, they started moving faster, excited by the thought of seeing the forest.
"No one's there," commented Stormkit, because he was the first to reach the place.
"Then let's go," squealed Jaykit with excitement as they got closer to the forest every kit's biggest wish.
After what seemed like eternity to the two kits, they were finally out in the forest. The kits, without noticing, wandered away from the camp. Jaykit's and Stormkit's noses were filled with the scent of the forest as the padded daringly forward. The kits were enjoying themselves until they picked up a unique scent. It wasn't the scent of a cat or prey.
Fox, popped suddenly into Jaykit's mind. "I think we should go back to camp…." started Jaykit.
Too late though, as a red fox popped out of the bushes behind them, Jaykit was already running away until he heard the anguish screech of his brother, "Jaykit, SAVE ME!"
*Transistion*
Jaykit was back at camp with every cat starring at him with amazement of how he survived a fox attack. Jaykit somehow made it back to the ThunderClan camp and was able to tell Lionstar what happened. Lionstar immediately sent out two searching parties and sent Jaykit to Leafpool, so she could take care of him. Jaykit, SAVE ME, kept on coming into Jaykit's mind. What have I done, Jayfeather asked himself, I should never have left him….
Suddenly he was not in the medicine cats den, but on stones beside a pool with many stars in it. "Welcome," murmured a beautiful tortoiseshell she-cat.
"Wh, who are you?" stuttered Jaykit.
"All you need to know that I am a friend and that your brother is will not be joining the stars tonight."
"Wait," said Jaykit as the she-cat slowly faded away.
When Jaykit opened his eyes he saw Stormkit in front of him, a feeling of relief swept over him. "You're awake," said the clan medicine cat Leafpool, "as you can see Stormkit was saved just in time by Bumblestripe's patrol."
So she was right, thought Jaykit, the she-cat said he would not join the stars. "He's okay now if you're wondering, but it will take him a few days to recover," said Leafpool guessing the reason for the Jaykit's worried face.
"Will we be able to become apprentices now?" asked Jaykit with the fear of being held back another moon, but he knew he had to be punished in some way.
"That will be for Lionstar to decide," replied Leafpool.
*Transistion*
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge!" called Lionstar.
Sandstorm was the first to appear along with Cloudtail and Brightheart. Dustpelt padded out of the elder's looking like he just woke up. One by one warriors padded out from the warriors den. Leafpool and Cherrypaw, her apprentice, came out from the medicine cat's den. Molepaw sat obediently behind his mentor, Thornclaw. After Lionstar saw that a considerable amount of cats had gathered he continued, "It is to my knowledge that two of ThunderClan's peskiest ever kits have reach their sixth moon."
Jaykit and Stormkit, who finally recovered, came bounding forward. Both kits were surprised that they were allowed to become apprentices without punishment from their "adventure" as everyone called it. "Stormkit, from this day on until you receive your warrior name, you will be Stormpaw."
"Stormpaw, Stormpaw, Stormpaw!" the whole clan cheered.
"Squirrelflight," continued Lionstar.
"You have proved yourself a worthy mentor once before," said Lionstar as he nodded towards Foxleap, "and you will be able to do so again with Stormpaw."
Squirrelflight and Stormpaw padded forward and touched noses.
"Jaykit, from this day on until you receive your warrior name, you will be Jaypaw."
"Jaypaw, Jaypaw!" cried the clan.
"And I myself will be in charge of your training," said Lionstar as he padded down from highledge to touch noses with Jaypaw.
This is the beginning of another path, thought Jaypaw. He wondered where these thought was coming, but as usual he couldn't get a grasp on it.
