Ch.6

Hookfish, Farstone, Carrotpelt, Acorntop, and Robinpaw were dead. The horrible bout of greencough had rocked RiverClan's core. Last night both Hookfish and Robinpaw gave their last breath. Farstone had died when the sickness had first came, just a couple of days after Farstone's death Carrotpelt had died and following him was Acorntop. The sick warriors crowded the medicine cat den and Sunray knew it was just a matter of time before the other clans started to prey on RiverClan's weakness. Kalefrost, Bubblefur, Yellowfoot, and Dodgepaw were also sick.

Tanstar slowly walked out of her den and Sunray immediately saw the sickness in her eyes. Sandyfur walked up beside him, "She lost her eighth life from the sickness."

Sunray's jaw dropped open. Ever since he was born he had always thought that the great RiverClan leader would outlast him by moons, now seeing her like this… he wasn't so sure.

Tanstar's voice trembled, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey come for a clan meeting!"

All of the healthy clan cats gathered around.

"As most of you know, Hookfish is dead. I say these words before the body of Hookfish that he may hear and approve my words. The new deputy of RiverClan will be Kalefrost," Tanstar coughed.

Kalefrost raised her head, "I am honored to be chosen as RiverClan's next deputy, I will try to serve you as long as I can."

Tanstar nodded her head at her new deputy, "Until Kalefrost recovers from this sickness Emberstone and Hopefrost will organize the patrols. Also, Halffoot, do you want to give up the life of a warrior and retire to the elder's den?"

Sunray looked at the old black tom as he croaked, "I do."

Tanstar dipped her head to him as the clan cheered, "Halffoot, Halffoot, Halffoot!"

Sunray wearily padded towards the warrior den.

"And one more thing!" Tanstar called out over the clearing. "There are two apprentices that are ready to become warriors!"

Sunray immediately turned around and spotted Reedpaw. Dodgepaw was beside her and even though both of the apprentices were tired, their eyes were gleaming with anticipation.

"Dodgepaw and Reedpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" Tanstar asked.

"I do!" both of the apprentices choursed.

"Than by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names. Dodgepaw, from now on you shall be known as Dodgefish. StarClan honors your determination and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan. Reedpaw, from now on you shall be known as Reedwhisker. StarClan honors your courage and persistence. We welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan!"

"Dodgefish, Reedwhisker, Dodgefish, Reedwhisker!" the clan cheered.

All the sudden a shriek echoed through the camp and Sunray looked at the camp entrance. His eyes widened at what he saw. The attack that RiverClan was dreading for moons had just started.


A/N: DunDunDun... hey at least Ch.7 will be up shortly! And just remember to reveiw! Now to think of it I think that the name Reedwhisker was used in one of the origional warrior books... oh well, just to let everyone know this is a different Reedwhisker...
