"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather around the Tree Stump for a Clan meeting!"

Angelkit heard it sure enough. At first she was all excited about becoming an apprentice, but now she was nervous. Together the three of them padded forward, crowds of cats slowly growing as they gathered around the stump of a tree.

"Angelkit, Lunarkit, and Butterflykit, come up here please." Anxiously the sisters went, pushing through the cats and leaping onto the stump. The white-gray WindClan leader smiled warmly at them, "These kits are ready to be apprenticed..."

"Butterflykit, until you have become a warrior you will be known as Butterflypaw. Fiercefang, you are ready for an apprentice, I expect you to pass your fighting skills and loyalty to this apprentice." A crystal white tom came up to her and they touched noses.

"Lunarkit, until you have become a warrior you will be known as Lunarpaw. Blotchedsnow, you are ready for an apprentice, I expect you to pass your hunting skills to this apprentice." A beautiful tortoiseshell and white she-cat stretched her nose towards Lunarpaw.

"Angelkit, until you have becom a warrior you will be known as Angelpaw. Pureheart, you are ready for an apprentice, I expect you to pass on your loyalty and bravery to this apprentice." Angelpaw ran up to him, then, their nose collided with a thump!

(AN: recognize Pureheart from anywhere? I'm just gonna tell you...it's Purekit!)

Pureheart, Angelpaw's father, cooed with his ice-coated voice, "Calm down young one..." The crowd of cats cheered and congratulated them on becoming apprentices. Angelpaw blinked her ice-blue eyes shyly as they continued to chant.

"W-wait wait!" Stormingstar quieted them, "The meeting is not over yet, Crystalpaw has given up her warrior training to become a medicine cat apprentice(AN: I'm too lazy to rewrite it up there...XP)." Shocked silence was the answer.

A beautiful silver white she-cat flattened her ears shyly in the crowd. "Bogweed will train you starting from tomorrow." Stormingstar nodded towards the mud brown medicine cat. There were stunned murmurs rippling through the crowd.

Did anyone approve of her becoming one? "But she has the heart of a warrior!" A protest was flung at them, but the speaker was unknown. "It is her own choice." Stormingstar stated in the most calm manner, "It is never your place to judge others."

Angelkit watched Crystalpaw tense in the crowd as her parents gave her disapproving looks. She frowned, what was so wrong about it? She decided from that moment...she would try and make friends with the seemingly coy she-cat.

As the cats were dismissed, she padded over to Crystalpaw and purred, "Hi! I heard you wanna become a medicine cat...aren't they awesome!?" The crystal-shaded she-cat smiled softly, her amber eyes aglow. "R-really? You think so? I think so too!"

Angelpaw looked up at her father, "Dad--" "Shh...watch me and learn that way." Pureheart murmured, crouching down onto his haunches. A rustle in the bushes made his ears stand straight up, red alert. As sudden as the rustle, a hare shot out from the bramble patch.

Pureheart chased after it, running as if the wind itself was carrying him, his lean muscles rippled underneath his snowy pelt as he trapped the hare underneath his paws. "And, that's how you catch a rabbit, stealth, speed, and strength."

Angelpaw 'oohed' and 'ahed' in amazement. "Now we will learn about Clan scents and such." She nodded eagerly and trotted after him, going deeper into their territory. "Smell that?" She pretended she didn't know at all, but it was the scent of RiverClan.

The smell she had scented yesterday.

Where she had met Sorrowpaw...Angelpaw shook her head furiously to clear her mind off of him. "Is something wrong?" Pureheart asked her, watching his daughter violently swing her head. "Um hehe...it's nothing...this scent seems familiar..."

Angelpaw remarked. It was not just because she had smelled it the day before, but another reason was as if she had really lived in RiverClan before. Pureheart interrupted her thoughts by adding, "ShadowClan is beyond RiverClan, we cannot go there."

"But perhaps at the Gathering you can scent them out. I'll ask Stormingstar if he could permit you apprentices to go." Pureheart's eyes clouded for a moment, as if he was thinking of something, "Come on, we're going to the border with ThunderClan."

Angelpaw nodded and followed him as they padded to a merry river, whistling like a brook. She struck her paw through the surface and shivered at its icy touch. She another paw inside the singing water. "This is fun!" She exclaimed.

Pureheart shook his head, looking at her strangely, "You're acting like a RiverClan cat!" Angelpaw swiftly withdrew her paws and blushed a dark red, "Er..." Her father smiled a small smile and flicked his tail in the direction past the river.

"That there is ThunderClan. Can you smell their scent?" Angelpaw's blush faded, now concentrated on her learning. She took in a deep, soothing breath before mewing aloud, "Is something wrong with me? Or have I smelled this scent before?"

An image of a silver she-cat with golden tinges appeared in her mind. Angelpaw growled in frustration, "I don't think I'm feeling well today." Pureheart had a look of defiance in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, "Then maybe we should cut lessons shorter?"

Angelpaw agreed steadily, "Perhaps." The two of them turned around, heading towards their territory, "I'll give you more examples. You shouldn't be hunting yet since you're not feeling good." Although masked, she could tell there was some gladness in his voice.

Was she really that ill today? Maybe it was because he liked to hunt...?

Angelpaw's mind kept wandering to Sorrowpaw and her dream. Her thoughts also walked to the inicident with her father. What was going on? "I think I'm just sick." She told herself. Although having already agreed she was imagining things, she could tell something was going on.

And she was gonna find out...

Angelpaw padded randomly around, nose sniffing the air for her father's scent. "Ugh, this is taking forever." The sun was already setting on the horizon, its beautifully colored beams poured light onto her fur, making it shine heavenly.

Angelpaw grinned, as much as she'd like to stay in beauty, she had to find out what was going on. That was one her nose caught a scent, a familiar scent, five scents...The smell reached beyond some pines, it was an unexplored area of their home.

Without hesitation, Angelpaw continued her search, slipping pass the sweet smelling evergreens and avoiding a rose bush full of prickly thorns. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw five figures, white ones along with tortoiseshell-hued, sometimes mixed.

But one thing was for sure, among all of them, a pure white cat was definatley their leader. It was pretty obvious they were in some secret meeting. Angelpaw slided as quiet as she could into the shadows, but close enough for her to see the happening.

A gasp escaped her lips when she identified the leader of them.

Pureheart.
