Also this chapter is a little longer then the rest. Hope you guys like them this long, if so tell me so i can make them longer.

And just so people know I read every review, and i'd be happy to answer any questions you have with this series

Now on to the chapter!

Chapter 6

Bent down, gliding across the grass, barley touching the ground as he stalked his prey. The new-leaf sun shown through the leafless branches. The mouse was eating a walnut by a tree root, the tom crept forward slowly trying to make sure he didn't touch the ground. His tail shot out straight. The small cat focused so hard on the mouse he didn't notice his tail was swaying slightly above the ground. It hit a leaf and the cat froze. The mouse looked up suddenly afraid. Heart pounding, he quickly pounced before the mouse could run away. Swiftly, he bit the prey's neck and brought it back torwards where his mentor was sitting.

"Great catch Scarpaw!" Silverwater exclaimed, "Wow you learn fast, lets take the prey back to camp Sharpstar is holding a meeting at sun high".

Scarpaw was out training with his mentor, and a few other warriors to make sure no one went missing. Scarpaw understood Sharpstar's concern, but he thought this was getting a little rediculous, but two more cats did go missing. It had been a couple moons since the day he and Darkpaw got apprenticed and the harsh cold of Leaf-bare had just ended and new-leaf was days away. All Scarpaw could do or think about now was his training and, he thought he was doing pretty good with it. Scarpaw's ears flicked impaitently as the other warriors went to gather their prey.

Once they approached the entrance to the Lightningclan camp Scarpaw heard the yowl of Sharpstar coming from the tip of the branch. "Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey, Join here beneath the Clan Branch for a clan meeting." He waited for everyone in the clearing to clump together before he continued. Scarpaw sat down next to Darkpaw and Flamepaw. "Though we've had a lot of deaths in the past moons, I'd like to aknowlage the most important part in a clans lives". He looked over to the nursery bouncing with kits. "Diamondkit, Brightkit, and Fallingkit, have reached their sixth moon and its time for their apprentice ceremony". Diamondkit bounced to the middle of the clearing followed by the excited Brightkit. Fallingkit however looked very nervous almost as if he was worried he would do everything wrong. Riverkit and Lakekit ran out of the nursery and their mother, Lilyglow, trailed behind. Hollowwish looked like she was ready to get back to her warrior duties.

"Diamondkit, Brightkit, and Fallingkit, from this moment on until you recieve your warrior names you will be known as Diamondpaw, Brightpaw, and Fallingpaw. Diamondpaw your mentor will be Slowgaze. Brightpaw your mentor will be Shiningthorn, and Fallingpaw your mentor will be Endlessflame". As all the cats in the clan cheered and chanted for the newly named apprentices, two of the three nervously touched noses with their new mentors.

Diamondpaw however steped back and called out. "Wait!" all the cats in the clearing froze and listened intently. "I don't want to be a warrior". Scarpaw heared a slight gasp from Diamondpaw's mother. "I'd rather be a medicine cat!"

Sharpstar thought for a moment then said "Alright then, Honeycloud step forward" Honeycloud did what she was told and Sharpstar continued "Honeycloud do you except Diamondpaw to be your apprentice?"

Honeycloud hesitated for a heartbeat then meowed "I'd be glad to have you for an apprentice".

Diamondpaw ran over to her new mentor and touched noses, as the rest of the clan chanted for the new medicine apprentice.

As Scarpaw chanted, he caught the eye of Honeycloud. That she-cat kept staring at he and Darkpaw. Scarpaw leaned closer to the black tom and whispered "Hey do you think we should see what Honeycloud wants with us?"

"No I think she'll talk with us when she wants us". Darkpaw replied flicking his ears, annoyed.

"Doesn't her staring make you uncomfortable when she stares at us?"

"Yeah I guess your right, lets go". Darkpaw whispered a goodbye to Flamepaw and waited for all the cats to leave the middle of the clearing. After what seemed like moons the two apprentices padded torwards the medicine cave. Once inside both toms overheard what Honeycloud and the new medicine cat were talking about.

"Okay" (happy K-nine? :P) Honeycloud said, "Before you can help me with anything we need to go to the Moon River to get Starclans approval" After Honeycloud was done speaking, she noticed the scuffling near her den, "Yes, who are you and what do you want?"

Scarpaw was the first to walk into the open, "Hi Honeycloud, can we speak with you?" Darkpaw stud next to him now.

Honeycloud's eyes widened as she realized it was the two apprentices, "Yes of course come in, Diamondpaw would you go out and play with the other apprentices.

"Okay" Diamondpaw mewed already bouncing out of the den.

When Scarpaw made sure that the young she-cat had left the cave he practicly yowled to Honeycloud, "Alright, what do you want with us and why do you keep staring at us in the camp?"

Honeycloud sighed and focused her gaze on something other than the black and ginger toms, "Because, you two are part of a prophecy I was given about four or five moons ago". The next thing she said sent a shiver down Scarpaw's spine, "Lightning will gather two, a dark scar shall pierce the frost that will rule all. You two are a part of the prophecy and I had another dream that said you had speical powers unknown to Starclan, Lightningclan, and yourselves."

"We have powers?" Darkpaw echoed

"Yes!" Honeycloud sent a wave of anger torwards the young cats, "and you must find out your powers before our clan is destroyed!" She finished with a sense of urgency in her tone.

Without another word the two sprinted out of the medicine cave and out into the forest of Lightningclan. Luckily there was no one guarding the camp so they could slip out without being detectded.

"Alright where do we start?" Scarpaw asked feeling a bit nervous.

"More importantly, how do we start?" Darkpaw retorted jumping over a fallen tree.

"Well lets try jumping. Leap as high as you can over that tree okay?" Scarpaw asked.

"Alright you first" Darkpaw prompted.

Scarpaw bunched up all his musles and leaped with all his might. He barley skimmed the top of the fallen dead tree and landed clumsly on the other side. Quickly getting off and shaking all the dirt of his ginger pelt Scarpaw called out to Darkpaw, "Okay you next!" Without a reply Scarpaw saw Darkpaw jump lightly over the tree, but Darkpaw got his foot caught on a loose branch and was sent tumbling on the other side. Scarpaw ran up to him, "You alright?"

"I'm fine" Darkpaw mumbled licking himself before he continued, "Guess jumping isn't it".

Scarpaw sighed and nodded thinking of what to try out next. "Lets see, I know none of us can read each others mind, cause we would have noticed that a long time ago. Um..." Scarpaw sat there for what seemed like moons of thinking.

Then Darkpaw walked up to him, "Could we try fighting? One of us could have major skills in battle?" Darkpaw questioned, but before Scarpaw could reply the black apprentice inturrupted him, "Lets do it. You know with our claws sheathed".

Scarpaw nodded and both apprentices padded to the training clearing. Once they arrived they both immeditly got into a fighting position. Scarpaw pounced and landed squarely on Darkpaw's shoulders. Darkpaw heaved but couldn't throw him off, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground with Scarpaw on top. Darkpaw kicked with his hind legs, claws sheathed, and Scarpaw was flown off. Without waiting until Scarpaw got up Darkpaw charged. Scarpaw stepped to one side and tripped Darkpaw before he could do anything. Darkpaw quickly got up and dodged Scarpaws next attack and Scarpaw now lost his balance and fell on his side. Darkpaw raised his tail to stop battling and both apprentices sat down panting. They looked at eachother and silently agreed that neither of them had any special skills as a fighter.

"Okay with that out of the way, how about we try speed?" Scarpaw asked trying to keep his mind confedent.

"Alright, lets race from here to the river".

Both of them stood up and got ready to run. Scarpaw yelled, "Go!" and the two apprentices sprinted off torwards the clan river. Scarpaw looked over his shoulder as he ran and couldn't see Darkpaw anywhere. He looked in front of him and saw Darkpaw about seven foxlengths away and growing. Scarpaw tried with all his might but could keep up with the black tom, and kept trailing farther and farther away. Gliding across the ground barley touching it Scarpaw wondered how Darkpaw ran that fast. Once at the river Scarpaw could see that Darkpaw was already there. Scarpaw ran up to him and breathed heavily. Darkpaw didn't look as if he had just ran and won a race, he wasn't tired at all.

"Great... Starclan!" Scarpaw exclaimed still tired, "You... can run extremly... fast without getting tired?"

Darkpaw looked at the ground and gave his chest a few embarassed licks before he realized what just happened. He suddenly started bouncing up and down like a little kit who just got out of the nursery. Darkpaw opened his mouth, but seemed speachless. Scarpaw was happy they found his best friends power, but he was a little jealous. Why am I jealous, Scarpaw told himself, I'm sure we'll find out my power before the sun sets.

"Um, I dont know what to say but congrats now we know what your power is. Now we just need to find mine" Scarpaw said trying to hide the fact that he was envious.

Darkpaw shoke his head, trying to return to reality, "Alright how about, swimming? Since were near the water and all". Darkpaw's voice shook excitedly Scarpaw could only imagine what it would feel like to discover a hidden talent.

"Alright," Scarpaw said sounding nervous when he thought of the idea of swimming.

"You'll be fine" Darkpaw mewed putting his tail around the ginger toms shoulders.

For the rest of the day, until the sunsetted the two cats ran around Lightningclan territory trying to figure out Scarpaw's special power. Everntually it was getting late, and after about ten more tries they hadn't figured it out. Darkpaw gradually grew tired but kept going, Scarpaw was getting nervous, jealous, and doubtful. At the end of the test for climbing, that was another failiure, Darkpaw meowed, "Hey Scarpaw, its getting late and we won't find your power by being tired. Look I know your dissapointed, but we'll try tomorrow and everyday after that until we find it. We will not give up".

"Okay Darkpaw, I agree" Scarpaw's voice shook a bit, but he kept it steady as he finished, "Lets head to our nests".

Scarpaw followed Darkpaw torwards the camp, tail drooping. When Darkpaw slipped through the thorn barrier Scarpaw quickly and quietly scooted away hoping Darkpaw didn't turn around and made sure he was there. Scarpaw decided to hunt, he just needed to get away for a while and be in his own thoughts. The moon was rising and the wind was picking up speed. Scarpaw could tell it was going to rain anytime soon. Sneaking up to a mouse, Scarpaw lightly glided across the grass, and pounce taking a swift bite to the neck. He flinched as a drop of rain landed on his head. It had started to pour down rain but Scarpaw didn't pay much attention to it. He was dissipointed, I knew I wasn't special from the moment I put my paws in this territory, He thought what made me think I had a special power!

Scarpaw turned to see the bushes rustling and the last thing he saw, was darkness.

Sorry about the cliff hanger, I thought I wrote a little too much in this chapter.
