Surprising chapter. :) Enjoy! (Spoiler: Death at the end of the chapter)
Mudpaw came back into the Clan, spotting Adderpaw and Skypaw eating prey together. He ran to them. "I'm back!" He said. Adderpaw looked back and licked him. "I missed you, and Skypaw told me where you went." Adderpaw purred. She looked into his eyes, and turned back to her prey. She grabbed a thrush from the fresh-kill pile and gave him it. "You need to eat." She begged.
Mudpaw smiled and took it. "I have to go on a journey to find a new Clan." he paused, and ate a bite of the thrush. Then he continued,"And I can't go alone, Adderpaw, you must come, with me." He purred. Adderpaw looked at him. Her throat swallowed up so much because she was so pleased. She licked him and said, "I'll come." And walked away to the hollow. Mudpaw said a quick bye to his brother and ran after her.
Adderpaw purred once he came in. "But... what about Featherstorm and Waterlily?" She asked him. Mudpaw laughed. "So what. We'll be warriors when we come back. You don't have to worry. Now, lets train with our mentors." He said.
Fernpaw and Lilypaw smiled. "Guess what! Peachstar told me I'm going to become a warrior today!" Lilypaw said, smiling. Adderpaw and Mudpaw smiled. "Yay!" Adderpaw shouted. Lilypaw purred and ran to her mentor who was waiting for her. Peachstar smiled and mewed, "We're going to sunhigh patrol, come." She said, and walked with Lilypaw on her tail.
Adderpaw and Mudpaw smiled and followed out, together. Adderpaw looked at him. "When everyone is asleep at moonhigh, we need to talk." Adderpaw said to him. Mudpaw nodded. He looked to see Featherstorm and Waterlily together, sharing tounges and raced over to them with Adderpaw following.
Waterlily scented her apprentice and turned to him. "Hello! We were just getting ready for a hunting patrol. Go fetch , Lilypaw, Breezewatcher and Peachstar are on a border is also ready to become a warrior, and Daisypelt's kits are almost six months." Featherstorm told them.
The two nodded. Mudpaw said, "I'll get Spottedeyes." And ran to the Warriors den.
He saw Spottedeyes sleeping, so he went to wake him up. "Spottedeyes! Wake up, you have to go on a hunting patrol!" He told the tired she-cat.
Spottedeyes woke up. She smiled at him and mewed, "Hello Mudpaw." And got up, and patted to the deputy. Mudpaw raced to his mentor.
The five went along to the forest and looked into it. Mudpaw sniffed, he smelt dog! "I smell dog!" He yowled. He looked to see a dog huffing near dark red eyes looked at them like he was about to murder them in a second. He walked over to them a bit, and reached out his paw, and all cats knew that ment death. "RUN!" Featherstorm ordered. Mudpaw ran, not worrying about anyone else. Then he saw four cats, Spottedeyes, Waterlily, Featherstorm, and himself, but not Adderpaw! He turned and saw Adderpaw trying to climb a tree, but the dog almost murdered her. "ADDERPAW!" Mudpaw screamed. He would fight for his mate, he would. Mudpaw ran near Adderpaw. The dog caught him and started to run towards him. Mudpaw ran away from the dog, and noticing a kittypet.
Adderpaw climbed down and noticed the kittypet. The dog ran for it. He climbed on the she-cat and tried to bite her. The kittypet managed to get the dog off of her. She sank into his pelt and bit everything she could. The dog was dead. She smiled at the five and said, "Howdy. I'm Song, and you probably thought I'm one of those house cats. And you must be the warriors. I am a loner, and I'd love to become a warrior. Visit anytime, your welcome into my home." And she ran back into her home, an abandoned Twolegs Place. Mudpaw looked at Adderpaw. Featherstorm nodded. "You two could go, rest. We'll hunt." He said.
The two ran to camp. Adderpaw and Mudpaw smiled. "That will be the first cat we pick up for the Journey." Mudpaw said. Adderpaw nodded. "Come on, lets rest. Remember, we meet at moonhigh." She croaked, and then cuddled in her nest and fell asleep. Mudpaw purred and fell into deep sleep.
A while later, Mudpaw and Adderpaw were gathering moss for the elders. They gave it to them, then they heard, "All cats that are old enough to catch they're own prey come here for a Clan meeting!" Peachstar yowled. Mudpaw and Adderpaw ran to the Clearing.
"Fernpaw, do you promise to never break the warrior code?" She asked the tom.
Fernpaw nodded. "I do, Peachstar." He said. Peachstar smiled, "I hope StarClan looks down at this wonderful apprentice. Fernpaw, your warrior name will now be Fernclaw." Peachstar said.
"Fernclaw! Fernclaw!" The Clan cheered. Fernclaw purred.
Next, Peachstar looked at Lilypaw. "Lilypaw, do you promise to never break the warrior code?" She asked her apprentice.
Lilypaw nodded. "I hope StarClan will look down at this apprentice, I now name Lilypaw, Lilycloud!" She yowled.
"Lilycloud! Lilycloud!" The Clan cheered. Then Peachstar looked at her only queens kits. "Mosskit and Bluekit have reached there six moon, and we would like to welcome them as a full ThunderClan cat. Mosskit, your name will now be Mosspaw with the mentor, Breezewatcher. Spottedeyes loves having apprentices, so she will take Bluekit, and she will be known as Bluepaw now." She said.
"Mosspaw! Bluepaw! Mosspaw! Bluepaw!" The Clan cheered. Daisypelt licked both of her kits.
"Help!" Screamed a voice coming from the elders den. Mosspaw, Bluepaw, Fernclaw, Lilycloud, Adderpaw, and Mudpaw ran in the Elders den.
"Whitepelt won't move!" Fallenbreeze said. Skypaw raced in there. He looked at Whitepelt.
"He's dead." Skypaw moaned sadly.Our first leader can't be dead! Have fun in StarClan..Skypaw prayed silently.
The Elders den came to a silence. Whitepelt had created the Clan. They would never came to life without him.
Peachstar looked into the group. "He hunts with StarClan now." She said sadly.It shouldn't have happened, why StarClan? Whitepelt wasn't extremely old.... but why? She silently asked.
