"Who are you?" Cindersnow demanded.

"I-I'm Con, and I want to join!" the small brown tom had ginger stripes and blue eyes. "Can I join your Clan? Please?"

"How did you hear about us?" Jayflight asked. How does he know? Cindersnow privatly agreed.

"I heard some rouges talking about others forming a Clan, and I scented Indigo with your group...and I know where Indigo lives! Here!" Con replied, puffing out his chest in pride. He looked about seven or eight moons old. "I also wanted to know if my friends could join..."

Then, right behind him, a bunch of cat shapes appeared. One was a blue-gray, and looked like a kit. One was a calico. One was brown with black ears, and one was a bright yellow. Yet another, a black tom, also came, and two snowy white she-cats followed.

"That's...a lot." Cindersnow mewed. "What are your names?"

The blue-gray kit smiled. "I'm Blue!" she chirped. "Like a bird!"

"My name is Cherry," the calico replied. "And this is Arraine." She pointed with her tail to the brown and black she-cat.

"My name is Gleaming," the black tom mewed. "This is Bella."

"I'm Snowy!" one of the snowy she-cats told Cindersnow, while the other said "I'm Lolo!" at the same time.

"And I'm Con!" the brown and ginger tom spoke up again."We want a loving home and family, so please don't turn us away!"

"How come there are so much of you?" Jayflight demanded from beside Cindersnow. "Well...we've all met up some how. Bella and I knew eachother, Cherry and Arraine knew eachother, Snowy and Lolo knew eachother, and Gleaming found us, like Blue."

Cindersnow inspected each of them again. Snowy and Lolo both looked almost exactly the same, except Snowy had a gray stripe down her back and Lolo had a gray stripe going from her neck to the top of her head. Both had green eyes.

"I wont turn young cats away," she decided. "Feather, you will now be Featherkit. Blue, you will be Bluekit. Cherry and Arraine will be Cherrykit and Amberkit. Gleaming will be Gleamingkit, Bella will be Brightkit. Snowy will be Snowypaw, and Lolo will be Lightpaw, and Con will be...Ceaderpaw." Cindersnow decided. "Now, we need three mentors... Jayflight, you will mentor Ceaderpaw. Indigoheart, you will mentor Snowypaw and Shardwhisker will mentor Lightpaw."

Jayflight, Indigoheart, and Shardwhisker padded up and touched noses with their apprentices, each looking a little nervous except for Jayflight. He mentored Ravenwing back in FloraClan, Cindersnow thought as she looked at her mate.

Snowypaw and Lightpaw padded up to Cindersnow after the ceremony. "Cindersnow, right?" Snowypaw questioned, and Cindersnow nodded. "Yes, what is it?"

"C-can you show us around the cave?" Lightpaw asked.

"Of course!" Cindersnow whisked her tail to the two she-cats and padded over to the boulder. "this is where we were thinking about making the gaurd post and the meeting area. The leader would go on the top and call the Clan together."

"Are you going to be the leader?" Snowypaw asked.

Cindersnow shook her head. "I can't lead... I'm sorry. Anyway," she continued briskly, "lets go over to the nursery."

After the nursery was apprentice's den, then warriors, elders. After that Cindersnow showed them the other four caves. "And thats all!" she wrapped up.

"What will you call the Clan..?" Lightpaw asked.

"Uhhhh... we haven't decided on that. Maybe when we pick a leader," Cindersnow replied. This is all too rushed...

Brightkit bounded up to Cindersnow. "I'm almost as old as them!" she mewed. "Why am I stil a kit?"

Cindersnow glanced at the younger she-cat. "Well, here, you wait until you're six moons old before becoming an apprentice. Maybe in a week you'll get your turn."

"That...makes sense," Snowypaw told Cindersnow. "It's not fair," Brightkit pouted.

"Cheer up!" Cindersnow mewed, flicking her tail at Brightkit's nose. "Why don't I tell you three and the rest of the kits and Ceaderpaw about Clans while Jayflight leads a patrol to determine some borders?"

Jayflight padded up. "Of course. I'll take the three apprentices and Indigoheart, and Shardwhisker." He called out the names of the two new mentors and they rushed over. "Let's go determine borders... who will hunt?"

Ravenwing, Bluemist, and Redswirl volenteered and the two patrols left the cave, leaving all of the kits, Cindersnow, and Gypsylight.

All of the kits bounced around Cindersnow as Ravenwing padded over to the warrior's den to sleep.

"This is going to be a longgggggggg day," she groaned.

Jayflight's Patrol

Indigoheart was Jayflight and the rest of the patrol's guide as they treked through the canyon. "Where to?" Jayflight asked.

"I think we should set the borders on the trails leading up, and any possible areas to get down," the inky she-cat replied firmly.

Ceaderpaw rused over. "What about that area?" he asked, pointing with his tail. Ever since getting his apprentice name his shy attitude had changed into a happy, socail tom.

The area he'd suggested was steep but there was a very narrow path leading down. "Good eye!" Indigoheart praised. "I hadn't realized that was there, and I've lived in this area my whole life."

Ceaderpaw beamed while Snowypaw grinned at him and pushed him over. "Show-off!" she teased when he jumped onto a husky log on two legs.

"Let's go!" Lightpaw orderd to them- she must have seen Jayflight's patrol getting way ahead of them as they padded over to the narrow path.

This is almost like Clan life, Jayflight thought as he looked around. "How do you set markers?" Shardwhisker asked.

"Well, you-" Jayflight was inturrupted by Indigoheart, who bursted, "You spray onto the area you wnat and make a scent line to keep out other cats! I did that as a loner." Then she realized Jayflight had been talking. "Oh- sorry!"

Jayflight shook his head. "It's fine."

Lightpaw bounded up to Jayflight. "Are you 1 year old?" she asked, and when Jayflight shook his head, she continued, "Then your an old cat!"

Jayfeather rolled his eyes as Snowypaw let out a purr of laughter, as well did Ceaderpaw. "Lolo-Lightpaw, don't speak to Jayflight like that!" Shardwhisker growled.

"So-rrie!" Jayflight heard the word spoken to him for the second time in ten minutes. I'm just a warrior, not their Clan leader!

Back at the cave

When Cindersnow estimated that Jayflight's patrol was about halfway done, Gyspylight trotted down to where Cindersnow was currently being suffocated bye a mass of kits. "Helppppppp," she groaned.

"Nothing can save you now!" Featherkit yowled as she leaped on top of Cindernow, bounded away, and repeated the proccess.

Gyspylight, rolling her eyes, joined in the 'game'. "Help!" she yelled when Brightkit and Bluekit bowled her over.

Leaping up, Cindersnow saw that Gypsylight was very good with the kits. I'll have to ask her about if she ever had kits later, Cindersnow decided.

She saw her change about three minutes later, when the kits became bored and scampered off to the nursery to check it out. "I'm almost an apprentice!" was the last call she heard as Brightkit followed the other kits inside.

Cindersnow turned to Gypsylight. "Have you ever had kits before? You seem to be very goo dwith them."

Something flashed in Gypsylight's eyes but the she-cat shook it away. "No, I've never had kits before," she replied.

"Okay..." But Cindersnow knew it was a lie, and someday, she would find out what it was.

Suddenly, Jayflight's patrol came back with one new cat. "Who are you?" Cindersnow asked.

The rouge smiled. "Word gets around fast..I'm Gem and I'd like to join your Clan."

Who is Gem? What's going on with Gypsylight? You'll see soon! I'll be writing the next chapter...
