Hey everybody! I-really-hope-not here with another chapter! I'm sorry for not updating sooner, I had a bit of writer's block. Thank you so much for the reviews, it means a lot, and we reached 50! WHAT? I DID NOT EXPECT THIS, thank you all so much and I love you all so, so much! I would like to promote Winter's Storybook's forum, Children of the Light, it's awesome, and you'll have a lot of fun! Also, I'm thinking about doing an original fiction on Fictionpress, please vote on my profile about it, and PM if you want to submit an OC, I'll give you the form. And finally, I'm accepting commissions, so feel free to PM me about one. Now for the QOTD answers, I should have made this clearer, but the shadowed shape was a kit, and no one got it right, so you can guess again. Now it's time to get down to individual replies!

Snowcrystal of ThunderClan: Nope, good guess! But thanks about my brother.

Pondfrost: Thanks for the constructive criticism, and good guess, but not right.

Key of Light and Darkness: Thanks!

Candymouse22: Read on! :3 Good guess but no.

Dapplewing123: Thanks for pointing out what I need to do better on, and thanks for the compliment!

Ivyclaw of PineClan: Mudkit and the unnamed kit are the ones who died, Swankit and Tallkit are the one's who survive, hope this clears that up!

Pikawarriorcat: Me too, read on!

Silverstar of LightningClan: Yup, that was a stupid mistake of me, and if I ever need OC's I'll PM you!

Silverstar: Yes I do know...

Guest: Sorry, I'm not accepting anymore OC's, but I'll put Crowtail at the end of the waiting list.

Tallkit sat outside the nursery, it had been two moons since they were attacked by the badger, and only one and a half since Cinderheart had let them outside the nursery. Hollykit was helping Swankit with her exercises, her leg had healed, but now there was a massive scar there and she was constantly stumbling. Hollykit mewed something to Swankit and came bounding over as the white kit started walking to the elders den.

"Tallkit." The grey kit mewed seriously. "We need to talk."

There was a tense silence between the two kits before they broke into massive smiles.

"Did she fall for it?" Tallkit asked.

"Yes." Hollykit sat down. "Your acting was great, but-"

"It's my choice." Tallkit told her. "I don't want Swankit to blame herself."

"But you didn't want to leave!" Hollykit insisted. "It should have been me!"

Tallkit shrugged.

"You're her favorite sister." She muttered. "It would have hurt more."

Hollykit shifted uncomfortably.

"So." She said, changing the subject. "Who do you think your mentor will be?"

"I want Squirrelflight!" Tallkit said excitedly, embracing the subject change.

"Well I'm going to get Bramblestar!" Hollykit said proudly.

"Maybe you'll get Cloudtail!" Tallkit teased.

Hollykit scrunched up her nose at the thought of getting the grumpy white warrior as a mentor.

"Hollykit, Tallkit!" Cinderheart called. "Go get Swankit, it's time to sleep!"

"Awww!"The two grey kits whined, as they turned to face Cinderheart.

"I don't want any of that from you two." She said sternly. "Now go get Swankit."

The two kits cowered before their mother's silent wrath and ran to go get Swankit.

"Hi Hollykit!" The white kit exclaimed cheerfully as they padded into the elder's den. "Oh... hello, Tallkit..."

"Hi Swankit." Tallkit mewed back.

"Cinderheart wants us back into the nursery." Hollykit explained to the taller kit.

"Okay. Bye Sandstorm. bye Greystripe, bye Purdy." Swankit told the elders sadly.

"Good bye Swankit." Sandstorm said with a faint smile. "Now get going, you don't want to make Cinderheart mad do you?"

The kits started out of the elders den, Hollykit and Tallkit trailing behind Swankit to catch her if she stumbled. As they moved slowly across the clearing, Swankit pointedly ignored Tallkit. As soon as they were close enough, Cinderheart swept them into the nursery and washed them roughly.

"There." She said, releasing them. "Now go to sleep."

The three kit curled up into little commas in the nest, with Cinderheart's watchful gaze scorching their pelts.

"I'm sorry Swankit." Tallkit whispered for the thousandth time, and her sister ignored her for the thousandth time.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock!" Bramblestar yowled, as cast slunk out of their dens and into the clearing. "Today we have three new apprentices, Hollykit, Swankit, Tallkit, please step forward."

The three kits stepped up to Bramblestar, Tallkit stumbling slightly, much to Swankit's silent amusement.

"Hollykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time you are apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Hollypaw. Your mentor will be Ivypool. I hope Ivypool will pass down all she knows onto you." The silver and white tabby blinked with surprise. "Ivypool, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Cinderheart, and you have shown yourself to be courageous and loyal. You will be the mentor of Hollypaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."

Hollypaw practically bounced into Ivypool as they touched noses and walked to the edge of the group of cats.

"Swankit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Swanpaw. Your mentor will be Dovewing. I hope Dovewing will pass down all she knows on to you." The grey she-cat purred slightly. "Dovewing, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Lionblaze, and you have shown yourself to be enterprising and intelligent. You will be the mentor of Swanpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."

Swanpaw's nose touch with Dovewing was more controlled than Hollypaw and Ivypool's, and the white apprentice's blue-green eyes glowed with happiness.

Ew. Tallkit and Hollypaw thought. I'm glad I didn't get her. She broke Bumblestripe's heart, poor Swanpaw.

"Tallkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time you are apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name. you will be known as Tallpaw. Your mentor will be Bumblestripe. I hope Bumblestripe will pass down all he knows on to you." Bumblestripe looked more shocked than Ivypool and Dovewing together. "Bumblestripe, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to have forethought and intelligence. You will be mentor of Tallpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know on to her."

Tallpaw touched noses with Bumblestripe.

As she curled up in her new nest in the apprentice den, Tallpaw stared at Swanpaw's ears.

"Goodnight Swanpaw." She whispered. "Goodnight Hollypaw."

It had been the first night in forever that she hadn't apologized, and it seemed that it felt a lot better now that she hadn't.

Okay, I'm not going to bother you about the chapter, so let's get on to QOTD's!

QOTD1: Who do you think was the green eyed shadow?

QOTD2: What do you think of their mentors?

QOTD3: Are you having a good day? If not, I hope everything gets better and you don't have any responsibilities and can go sleep for a day.

I-really-hope-not signing off, I'll see you all next time on They Walk Alone! (Or maybe Weak Instead of Strong)
