Ok, here we go. Hope you like :)

Chapter 6

Bramblestar padded into his den with Onestar. Together they sat, their faces grim.

"LionClan must prevail," Started Onestar. "We must defeat Hawkfrost."

"Agreed. But how?" Bramblestar asked.

"With Hawkstar leading, he will show no mercy."

"He will indeed fight to the death."

"Thank StarClan we have two medicine cats."

"But neither have an apprentices! They will need one to help them."

"But who? Sorreltail has already told me that all four of her kits wish to be warriors."

"Is there anyone else expecting kits?"

Bramblestar paused. Leafpool was. But he couldn't say that aloud.

He sat up with a jolt. Berrykit, Mousekit, and Hazelkit were going to be apprentices! How could he have forgotten?

"I have to apprentice three kits," He hurriedly told Onestar. "I must go."

Onestar nodded, and watched Bramblestar pad out of his den.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!"

He heard Hazelkit squeak in excitement, and saw Daisy grooming Mousekit.

"Berrykit, from this day on until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Berrypaw. I will be your mentor."

Berrypaw squealed in excitement and touched noses with his mentor.

"Mousekit, from this day on until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Mousepaw. Spiderleg- Where is Spiderleg?" He asked. Cats looked from one to another to try and spot the long-legged warrior.

At that moment, Squirrelflight burst into the clearing, carrying a dead Spiderleg.

All cats gasped in shock. Ferncloud screeched, "No!"

"We found him near ShadowClan-" Reedwhisker began, when Ashfur shouted, "Why did you kill him, traitor?"

Murmurs broke out among the cats, and glanced at Reedwhisker.

"He was NOT killed by Reedwhisker!" Squirrelflight snarled. "We found him near ShadowClan border. He was still alive, but on his way to StarClan. His last words were the description of a ThunderClan cat who ambushed him."

Bramblestar growled. "Who?" As cats gasped at the thought of a traitor being in their Clan.

Squirrelflight straightened her back, and announced, "Spiderleg said this cat was a grey cat, with darker flecks. He then said, 'Ash' before he died."

Ferncloud wailed. The cat fit her description. "Ferncloud would never kill her own son!" Dustpelt hissed protectively.

"But Spiderleg said 'Ash.'" Bramblestar murmured. Cats growled and looked to Ashfur.

In an instant, Ashfur leaped at Squirrelflight. His claws ran down her stomach. Squirrelflight screeched in pain and collapsed. Ashfur then ran into the forest, in the direction of TigerClan camp.

"Squirrelflight!" Leafpool shrieked. Bramblestar looked to Cloudtail and Thornclaw. "Chase him, make sure he is banished!" The two cats left quickly.

Squirrelflight lay on her side, blood pooling around her. Leafpool and Barkface were already with her.

"No… No…" Bramblestar murmured. Not Squirrelflight!

"She is in the paws of StarClan," murmured Barkface. Bramblestar sat by Squirrelflight and whispered, "Don't leave me! Please!"

Ooh, cliffy! Enjoy!
