Chapter eight

Ravenwing had never been more happy in his life. He lay beside Hollyleaf sharing tongues with her. Sandstorm and Firestar's kits Redkit, a red tom with green eyes, Mosskit, a pretty tabby that looked like Leafpool except she had blue eyes, and Duskkit, a light ginger tom with pale green eyes, were playing outside the nursery with Greystripe and Millie's kits, Briarkit, Bumblekit and Blossomkit. Their camp had been ablaze with fire only two days prior. Hollyleaf had been distracted ever since.

"Hollyleaf what's going" Ravenwing asked her.

"Promise not to tell" she whispered.

"I promise." He whispered back. Hollyleaf took a deep breath.

"Ashfur tried to keep me and my brothers trapped in the fire. Squirrelflight, the only way she got him to move was to reveal a secret she kept from everyone, even Brambleclaw" Hollyleaf said softly.

"What was it?" Ravenwing pressed.

"We're not Squirrelflight's kits. Leafpool and Crowfeather from windlcan are our real parents" Hollyleaf whispered hoarsely. "Me and my littermates should never have existed, we broke the warrior code just by being born".

"No, you didn't. Whatever they did, it's in the past Hollyeaf. You never did anything wrong, who cares who your parents are, I mean take Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt for example, their father is Tigerstar. You can't help who your parents are. I kow it must've been a shock, but you're a brave, beautiful young cat, let it go. If you don't something bad will happen" Ravenwing told her.

"Ashfur's going to reveal it at a gathering" Hollyleaf's voice was full of panic. "What if Firestar banishes us"

"He won't, let Ashfur blab, it'll only make him look like a fool" Ravenwing gave her ear a comforting lick.

"Ravenwing!" Barley hissed urgently. He had just gotten back from hunting with Daisyheart.

"What is it?" Ravenwing turned to look his best friend.

"Daisyheart, she-she's expecting my kits!" Barley was aglow with pride and happiness.

"That's great Barley!" Ravenwing gave his friend's cheek a quick lick of congratulations.

"Also Brambleclaw told me, Squirrelflight is expecting his kits and is moving to the nursery." Barley added, before walking away.

"Thunderclan will have plenty of kits, that's for sure" Hollyleaf murmured.

"I wish Honeyfern could be among them" Ravenwing sighed, the she cat had given her life to save Brairkit's from an adder that had gotten into camp.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the skyledge for a clan meeting" Firestar's familiar call brought everyone to the clearing. Ravenwing and Hollyleaf sat up to watch.

"Looks like Icepaw and Foxpaw are becoming warriors, I was wondering what Foxpaw was going to do since Squirrelflight is his mentor." Hollyleaf said.

"Foxpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life" Firestar asked.

"I do" Foxpaw replied.

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you our warrior name, from this moment on you will be known as Foxleap" Firestar turned to Icepaw.

"Icepaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?"

"I do"

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name, from this moment on you will be known as Icecloud".

"Foxleap, Icecloud, Foxleap, Icecloud" the clan cheered.
