Silverlark, thanks for the good pointers. I have made some changes about Stormpaw, and the prologue.

souleaterwarriors, I'm glad you like it so far

anyways, on with the book


Moonpaw sat in her nest thinking about the Shadowclan patrol from earlier today.

"Who was that apprentice earlier.. I know he's from Shadowclan, but maybe I could get to know him at a gathering.. No, that's a bad idea, cats aren't supposed to have friendships in other clans.."

The scent of blood hit Moonpaw's nose as Foxleap and his apprentice, Cherrypaw limped into camp.

"What happened?" Molepaw asked padding to his sister.

"Border skirmish with Windclan." She mumbled. She followed Foxleap to Jayfeather's den, where Graypaw and Briarlight were sorting herbs.

"Jayfeather left to go find some catmint" Graypaw said. "Cats start to catch greencough around this time. What can I help you with?" Graypaw stood up and inspected the wounds.

"Briarlight, can you hand me some cobwebs and marigold?" The medicine cat apprentice asked. Briarlight scooted herself across the den to where they kept the cobwebs and marigold. As she dragged herself back and gave it to Graypaw, Jayfeather walked in smelling blood and herbs.

"What happened, and what herbs are you using?" He asked his apprentice and assistant.

"Border skirmish, and we're using cobwebs and marigold for bleeding and scratches." The small apprentice answered.

"Good job" Jayfeather said impressed by how quickly his apprentice learned.

Squirrelflight padded in a few heartbeats later.

"I'm having kits!" she announced.

"Oh that's great!" Graypaw and Briarlight said in unison.

"They're Bramblestar's." She finished. "For real this time."
