I padded away from the Gathering place, Ashfuron my heels. I reluctantly gave his muzzle a lick, and walked forward, wincing as another shot of pain went through me.
"You ok?" Honeyfern asked me, concern in her eyes. Cinderheart was glancing at me to with concern. I easily faked a smile.
"Fine, Honeyfern." I murmured as I quickened my pace. Honeyfern frowned, but I ignored it. My mind was on Breezepelt. I begged Starclan he didn't see the fear on my face. He can't know I'm expecting kits! Especially when 3 toms are padding after me! Him, Mousewhisker, and Ashfur! Except, really, Ashfur really isn't 'padding' for me. He's forcing me to PAD after him.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Squirrelflight asked me, eyes wide with concern. I nodded anger bubbling through me. Leave me alone mom! I hurried ahead, forcing my paws to stay forward, eyes ahead. Here's a question...why did ASHFUR choose ME? I am definitely not the prettiest she-cat in the clan! I entered camp and went straight to the Warrior's den. I curled up in the nest and fell fast asleep. This was going to be a long night.
bing bob bo bing bob bo bing bob bo!
I woke up what seemed seconds earlier, and got out of the den, blinking in the sun. Squirrelflight was talking to Jayfeather and Leafpool, Honeyfern and Cinderheart next to her. I knew they were talking about me. YAY, I get to go talk to my aunt and brother! YIPPEE! I hurried over to where Bramblestar was.
"May I be on the Dawn Patrol?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Clan Meeting first." He mewed, climbing up onto Highledge.
"All cats old enough to catch their prey, gather beneath Highledge for a clan meeting." He yowled. Everyone immediately got into the area and Poppyfrost fussed over Molekit and Cherrykit. Bramblestar smiled and mewed,
"We will get to Molekit and Cherrykit's apprentice ceremony, as soon as I pronounce the deputy." We all waited.
"Hollyleaf is the new deputy of Thunderclan." He meowed, smiling down at me. My jaw hit the floor. Suddenly I knew that I was going to have Molekit. YAY!
"She will be mentor to Molekit once the ceremony is over." He mewed. Lionblaze with the first to congratulate me, nudging me affectionately with his shoulder, Jayfeather right after that, also nudging me. They were sitting right beside me.
"Molekit, Cherrykit, please come up to Highledge." Bramblestar mewed, as the excited paw steps went up to Highledge.
"Today we see one of my first duties of clan leader. The making of an apprentice. Molekit, step up." Molekit did, sending me a grin, making me purr in amusement.
"Molekit, you are now known as Molepaw. Hollyleaf, you are now ready for an apprentice. Brackenfur and Leafpool taught you great skills, and wish for you to pass these skills onto Molepaw." He meowed. I touched my nose to Molepaw's gently, as he did as well. This was going to be an awesome day.
"Cherrykit, you are now known as Cherrypaw. Brightheart, your time for an apprentice is long over due. Whitestorm and Cloudtail taught you well, and wish for you to pass these skills onto Cherrypaw." Bramblestar meowed, as Brightheart touched noses with Cherrypaw.
"Cherrypaw! Molepaw! Hollyleaf! Cherrypaw! Molepaw! Hollyleaf!" Bramblestar smiled, and dissapeared. Molepaw came toward me, pretty much just as I managed to set out 3 patrols! Yayz!
"Let's go see the borders." I mewed to him. Molepaw nodded excitedly, following me. The breeze whipped through my fur, and I shivered. Leaf-bare was near. Molepaw walked beside me, taking the sights in, his eyes widening. I slightly purred, remembering the first time I was out of camp.
Flashback
"Come on Jaykit! We have to find the fox!" I yowled at him. Lionkit pushed Jaykit in front of him, and I waited till the caught up. Jaykit sniffed the ground, his eyes darting around to see if there was any fox scent. "Guys do you smell that?" Jaykitwhispered. We shook our heads. Jaykit grinned. "It's fox scent!"
End Of Flashback
"Hollyleaf, you there?" Molepaw asked, whipping me out of my flashback.
"Just remembering memories." I murmured. I hadn't realized we were near the Shadowclan border. The musky scent of them made me wrinkle my nose in disgust.
"This is Shadowclan territory." I mewed to him. Molepawnodded. For some reason, memories whipped through me, in and out, as if this were my last day alive. Molepaw sniffed the air, as if remembering their scent. I purred and managed to mew,
"You wont forget their scent. They have a very, um, distinct scent." Molepaw flattened his ears in embarrassment. I nudged him affectionately, and started to pad toward Sky Oak. I glanced at Sky Oak. Yet again, numerous memories passed through me. Cinderheart'snear death, my nightmare of my own death, me tracking Lionpaw when he was meeting Heatherpaw. It all came back in a rush. I momentarily wondered what the heck was happening to me.
"You want to see something cool?" I asked him. Molepaw nodded. Taking a deep breath, a shot up the tree. I climbed up the tree and finally reached the top. I glanced back down at Molepaw.
"Wow!" He yowled, to make sure I could hear. I grinned at him.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" I yowled. A pigeon pearched on the tree, cawing. Getting in a hunter's crouch, I leaped on the pigeon and sunk my teeth in deep. The pigeon died, and I held it proudly in my jaws. I raced down the tree dropping it Molepaw's paws. Molepaw stared at the pigeon, stared at me, then to the tree, then back at me, eyes wide.
"Did Brackenfur teach you?" He asked me.
"Nope, I learned myself. Though Brackenfurdid help me. Anyways, this is Sky Oak, the highest tree in Thunderclan, or really any clan territory." I mewed. Molepaw nodded, his eyes serious. I beckoned my tail for him to follow me, as I made my way through the territory. I turned to look at Molepaw, but he was taking in the scene with his eyes.
"This is Riverclan territory." I mewed. Suddenly my heart started beating really fast. Riverclan cats! I thought. Molepaw stiffend beside me.
"Molepaw, go get Bramblestar, quickly." I ordered him. Molepaw nodded flying back to camp. I could just make out Mistystar, Beetlewhisker, Icewing, and Reedwhisker.
"Get off Thunderclan territory." I snarled.
"Thunderclan acts as if they're the kinf of the clans. Riverclan doesn't like that. Goodbye Thunderclan." Mistystar sneered, leaping at me. I dodged, feeling another cat get on top of me. I twisted, and Mistystar raked her claws over my ears. I yowled in pain, and saw more Riverclan cats, and Bramblestar. Mistystar's eyes were like a killer's. She hissed and sunk her teeth into my neck.
"Hollyleaf!" A voice wailed. Then my world went black.
