Chapter Two
Bramblepaw sprung to her paws looking around in alarm when she saw that water was flooding the tunnels. She turned towards Blackpaw to wake him up, but was surprised to see him already up.
"Everyone's got to get out!" Rainstrike yowled poking his head into the den and waded over to them.
"Okay," Bramblepaw meowed and waded passed him followed by all the other apprentices who were trying to remain come. Bramblepaw herself was really scared and had a sinking feeling that something bad was going to happen. Suddenly shelost her footing and disappeared under water since the cave was quickly feeling with water. Suddenly shefelt someone drag her back to the surface and she coughed up sherealized that the cat who had pulled her out of the water was her father. Soon she felt hard ground under her paws and realized that they were out of the cave. She looked around relieved when she spotted her sister coughing up water beside Shimmerpool. Then her heart sank, because one cat she didn't see was her mother and another one was Rockstar.
"Rockstar and Palefloweraerie still in there," Darkpetal suddenly yowled looking worried.
"Me and Earthclaw will look for them," Grayscar reassured his mate and dove back into the tunnels followed by Earthclaw. Only a few minutes had passed before they returned dragging Paleflower and Rockstar out behind them.
"A-Are they dead?" Darkpetal asked her eyes filled with dismay.
"Yes, they must have drowned," Earthclaw meowed bowing his head in grief.
"No!" Bramblepaw choked out and ran over to her mother collapsing beside her. She was barely a ware of her sister and clan mates settling around her to grieve for the two fallen cats.
"They will always be in our hearts," Earthclaw meowed sadly.
"We must go, you still have to receive your nine lives," Shimmerpool reminded him and got to her paws.
"Okay," Earthclaw meowed and followed Shimmerpool out of camp.
After her father left Bramblepaw curled up beside her mothers body and gazed blankly at her paws. Without meaning to she fell asleep and when she woke up her father was just entering the camp with Shimmerpool.
"Everyone I have received my nine lives," Earthclaw yowled.
"Earthstar, Earthstar, Earthstar!"everyone yowled gazing up at him.
"There is something I would like to do, my first ceramony as your leader," Earthstar yowled. "Stormpaw step forwards," he yowled.
Stormpaw stepped forwards looking nervous.
"I, Earthstar, leader of Tunnelclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn," Earthstar yowled pausing before continuing. "Stormpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend the clan even at the costs of your live?" he asked.
"I do," Stormpaw meowed.
" Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Stormpaw, from this moment you will be known as Stormcloud. StarClan honors your courage, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Tunnelclan," Rockstar yowled.
"Stormcloud, Stormcloud, Stormcloud!" everyone cheered.
"Now, before I dismiss themeeting I would like to name the deputy, Grayscar will be the new deputy of Tunnelclan," he yowled.
Sorry this chapter is short and it went a little fast, but the next chapter will be longer.
