Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors…and I never will…
Okay!!!Heres the second chapter! I hope you are enjoying this. The next chapter has some forshadowing…Im not telling you for what though…
Chapter 1
"Alright Rabbitkit, you can be FireClan's leader, Sandstar. I'm Jadestar." mewed a pure white kit. The other kit, a soft fawn colored tom, shifted his weight from side to side.
"Icekit, you always get to be Jadestar!" he growled, referring to their clan leader.
"Do you really
want to be a she-cat?" mewed Icekit teasingly.
"No!"
growled Rabbitkit defensively. "Fine. I'll be Sandstar." He
wiggled his haunches and pounced on Icekit with tiny needle sharp
claws unsheathed.
"Feel my claws, Jadestar!" he yowled in a dignified battle cry.
"Never! This territory belongs to MoonClan!" yowled Icekit. She threw herself at Rabbitkit, meeting him in mid-air and bowling them both over to one side. The dust cleared to reveal a violent tussle of two writhing cats.
"Yrowowowow!" yowled Rabbitkit. "Keep your claws sheathed, will ya?"
"Wuss." growled Icekit playfully. She batted his head with a sheathed paw.
"Icekit! Rabbitkit!" a golden she-cat entered the nursery area, carrying a plump vole.
"Mommy!" yowled Rabbitkit. He bounded up to Icekit and Rabbitkit's mother, Palmheart. Icekit began to wash her dusty chest.
"Come, Icekit. I brought fresh kill for us." mewed Palmheart.
"Took you long enough." mewed Icekit stubbornly.
"That's enough! Come over here and eat!" Palmheart growled.
"Who died and elected you leader?"
Palmheart sighed. Icekit triumphantly took her share of the mouse. Palmheart spoke up again.
"Jadestar would like a word with the two of you in her den-"
"This isn't about the rock and the mouse and the elders den, is it?" mewed Icekit fearfully.
"What?"
"Never mind…"
Rolling her eyes, Palmheart continued.
"She thinks it's about time for you to be apprenticed." she mewed.
"Oh great StarClan! Really?" yowled Icekit.
"I-" came the quiet voice of Rabbitkit. Palmheart looked at him.
"Yes?" she asked, her eyes soft.
"I've decided not to be a warrior." continued Rabbitkit. "I…I want to be a medicine cat." Palmheart stared at him for a second.
"Alright." she said finally. "I'll have a word with Jadestar." She gave Rabbitkit's forehead a lick, and then hurried out of the clearing. Rabbitkit spoke.
"I'll bet Blackkit will be getting a mentor too, I mean-"
"Why do you want to be a medicine cat?" questioned Icekit. She couldn't understand why her brother would give up the life of a warrior to care for sick cats. She certainly would not enjoy that.
Rabbitkit stared around uncertainly, not meeting Icekit's eyes.
"I just don't think it's the right path for me." he mewed quietly. "I have always been interested in roots and stuff."
"Okay." satisfied, Icekit left the den and entered the main clearing.
"Hey Tanfur!" Icekit called. A young Siamese tom padded over to her.
"Hey Icekit!" he mewed. "What's going on?"
"I'm going to be an apprentice tonight!" Icekit meowed happily. "Maybe you could be my mentor…" Tanfur smiled at the little she-cat.
"That's for Jadestar to decide." he chuckled. "Well, I have to go on patrol." He pushed his strong head against Icekit's flank, almost making her fall over.
"Goodbye Mousebrain!" he mewed as he made his way across the clearing.
"Foxdung!" hissed Icekit in a friendly way, watching as her friend trotted toward another group of warriors; Skywing, the clan deputy and her father, a large white tom with a ginger tail and hood, and Dirtfur, an older dark brown tabby tom.
Icekit entered Jadestar's den, and saw the pretty tabby she-cat talking to Palmheart. As her mother left the den, she touched her tail to Icekits flank.
"Hello Icekit." mewed Jadestar. "Today you are six moons old."
"No kidding." mewed Icekit sarcastically. Jadestar blinked and went on.
"Tonight we will hold your apprentice ceremony." she continued.
Icekit rolled her blue eyes. Her so called leader was not telling her anything new.
"No kidding." she repeated. Jadestar stared blankly at her.
"Well, since you already seem to know everything," she mewed, "You can go back to what you were doing before."
Icekit's eyes brightened.
"Okay." she mewed. "Thanks Jadestar!"
As Icekit left the den, she felt her fur tingle. She was going to be an apprentice!
Haha how did you like my first chapter? Yah, Icekit's a brat, but she gets better. Right now I am listening to "Wings of a Butterfly" by HIM, who I do not own either. (Darn!) Reviews are appreciated!
