Here is the update, despite major writer's block I did it! Some important stuff happens in this chapter!
time skip…..
"Thunderstorm! Thunderstorm!" the clan called. Falconflight was sure she was cheering louder than everyone else. Thunderstorm beamed at the clan as she leaped down.
"Well done Thunderstorm," meowed Falconflight happily.
"Thanks!" Thunderstorm purred, happiness shining in her eyes.
"Well there won't be any new apprentices for a moon," Falconflight noticed.
"Ugh you mean I'll still have to check the elders den?" groaned Thunderstorm good naturedly.
"Yep," meowed Violetpool, "congratulations Thunderstorm."
"Thanks," meowed Thunderstorm plainly. She tried to walk away but Falconflight signaled her to stay.
"She doesn't mean to," whispered Falconflight and Thunderstorm nodded.
"I know it's just that UGH!" Thunderstorm meowed as Violetpool walked away to talk to Firefur, Greenclaw purring loudly as she walked by him. Falconflight didn't want to say it to Thunderstorm but Greenclaw would probably laugh at any other options for a mate.
"Why don't you talk to him?" Falconflight suggested. Thunderstorm nodded and walked over to Greenclaw.
"Hi Greenclaw," Thunderstorm meowed.
"Hi Thunderpaw, I mean Thunderstorm, congratulations!" Greenclaw meowed.
"So do you want to hunt?" Thunderstorm asked awkwardly.
"No thank you, I'm going on a border to the SunClan with Sorrelpool, Mudtail, Grasstail and Lightningfoot," Greenclaw muttered.
"Can I join?" asked Thunderstorm hopefully.
"No, sorry it's full," Greenclaw meowed.
"Oh okay, um see you later?" Thunderstorm meowed.
"Yeah, see you," Greenclaw meowed walking away quickly. Falconflight watched all this in dismay, feeling bad before Thunderstorm stormed over.
"'Go talk to him' you said, he doesn't even remember my NAME! I was just made a warrior! He called my name with the clan!" Thunderstorm hissed.
"Sorry Thunderstorm," Falconflight muttered.
"It's fine Falconflight, let's just go see the kits," Thunderstorm grunted walking away.
"Oh okay," Falconflight meowed, but she hated the idea. In her rage at Eaglekit she hadn't gone to the nursery in a moon. As she walked in she saw Tidekit and Nightkit got up and ran over to her.
"Falconflight is that you?" Tidekit asked poking her.
"Yeah it's me," Falconflight meowed guiltily.
"Where were you?" asked Nightkit.
"Did you go away from camp again?" asked Silverkit running up to her.
"Can I have my badger ride now?" asked Eaglekit.
"Here, no, and of course not!" Falconflight meowed.
"Good to see you Falconflight," meowed Sparrowclaw.
"Hi Sparrowclaw," Falconflight meowed.
"Why can't you play badger ride?" asked Eaglekit.
"Oh let's see…. because you accused me of murder and tried to banish me!" Falconflight hissed.
"Also aren't you supposed to wait two moons to have a badger ride?" asked Tidekit.
"No! It doesn't doesn't matter!" Eaglekit meowed defiantly.
"Yes, it does," meowed Gingerstripe.
"Fine," Eaglekit grumbled. Falconflight glared at the kit but Thunderstorm was more sympathetic.
"Let's play leader!" she suggested.
"Yes!" I'll be Silverstar!" Silverkit meowed.
"I'll be Tidestar!"
"I'll be Nightstar!"
"B-but I want to be Eaglestar!" whined Eaglekit.
"Eaglekit can be leader instead of me," offered Silverkit.
"Thanks, I'll be Eaglestar!" Eaglekit meowed.
"I'll be Silvertail!" Silverkit meowed. They played leader for a while, Falconflight teaming up with Nightkit and Thunderstorm with Tidekit. Falconflight remembered when she would visit Thunderstorm as a kit and play leader, Crowsong would join in and Volewhisker would probably come in and nag Falconflight in some way or another. She wasn't sure what was better, now or then? Nightkit's fake war cry snapped her out of her flashback. They tussled for a while before Falconflight told the kits she had to leave. As she stepped out of the nursery she found Volewhisker by the fresh-kill pile.
"A bunch of kits tire you out?" he asked jokingly.
"Quiet," Falconflight hissed playfully.
"So that's a yes then?" Volewhisker pressed.
"Fine, some kits tired me out!" Falconflight admitted.
"Eaglekit still annoying?" he asked.
"Will she ever stop?" Falconflight responded.
"Good point," Volewhisker meowed.
"Share?" she asked taking a mouse from the pile. Falconflight came to realize something as they ate, no matter what things had been like, she liked her life.
Time Skip….
"Tidekit from this moment until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Tidepaw. Blazetail, you were mentored by Stonefang and are ready for your first apprentice, I hope you will pass your skill and courage on to Tidepaw. Nightkit from this moment on until you have earned your warrior name you will be known as Nightpaw. Volewhisker, you were trained well by Sorrelpool and our ready for first apprentice, I hope you will pass your loyalty and skill to Nightpaw," Claystar meowed
"Tidepaw! Nightpaw!" the clan called. Falconflight was happy watching her young siblings become apprentices but wondered why Volewhisker got an apprentice and she didn't.
"Congratulations!" Falconflight meowed as Volewhisker walked past with Nightpaw.
"Thanks!" Nightpaw meowed happily.
"Thank you," Volewhisker meowed, "you'll have an apprentice next I bet!"
"I wonder why I don't have one now…." she wondered to herself or at least she thought it was to herself.
"Well I guess because you can't mentor your kin," Volewhisker meowed.
"Huh? Did I say that out loud?" Falconflight asked guiltily.
"Yeah you did, aren't you happy for me?" Volewhisker asked.
"Yeah! Of course!" Falconflight meowed quickly.
"Good, see you Falconflight," Volewhisker meowed not seeming entirely convinced. "Come on Nightpaw I'll show you the territory!" As Volewhisker walked off with Nightpaw close behind Falconflight watched them, I really want an apprentice, I wonder what it's like to train a cat, Falconflight thought before joining a patrol with Greenclaw, Mudtail, Blazetail and Tidepaw.
"Isn't this so cool Falconflight?" Tidepaw asked.
"Shouldn't you be exploring the territory?" asked Falconflight.
"Blazetail says that patrolling the border will get me familiar with territory!" Tidepaw explained.
"Okay…." Falconflight meowed, deciding when she had an apprentice she'd start with the territory. If I ever get an apprentice after the whole fox thing, Falconflight worried. When they got to the WindClan border she saw Windyleaves, unfortunately he saw her.
"Falconflight!" he meowed running over after the patrol started to leave.
"What? Just because you and my sister are mates doesn't mean I'm your friend!" she hissed back.
"Relax, I just want to know if Violetpool's okay, I heard there was a fox your territory," Windyleaves meowed.
"Falconflight come on!" called Mudtail.
"Hold on, there's a warrior about to cross the border! I'll finish him off!" she responded. Then she turned to Windyleaves, "Yeah she's fine, stop to talk again and I'll turn you into crowfood!" Falconflight spat. Windyleaves nodded and turned to leave. Falconflight caught up with her patrol.
"Who was it?" Greenclaw asked.
"I don't know, some LeafClan cat," Falconflight lied.
Back in camp…..
"He was worried about me," Violetpool sighed when Falconflight told her what had happened.
"He's a LeafClan cat, who stopped to talk to me on the border! He thinks we're friends!" Falconflight meowed, annoyed how Violetpool couldn't see the point of the situation.
"He's my mate who was worried about me!" Violetpool retorted, "he's a good cat if you give him a chance."
"Yeah and while I'm at it I'll give every cat from another clan a 'chance'!" Falconflight growled.
"It's not like that!" protested Violetpool.
"Then what is it like?" Falconflight spat.
"You know what you feel for Volewhisker, I feel the same way about Windyleaves!" Violetpool meowed.
"Volewhisker isn't in another clan!" protested Falconflight but she could feel how weak her retort was.
"Would you care?" asked Violetpool. Falconflight paused and said nothing.
"Good, say I'm right and I'll forgive you," Violetpool meowed playfully.
"Never!" Falconflight purred Falconflight they jumped on each other at the same time and accidentally collided heads. When Falconflight woke up Pumpkinpelt was standing over her.
"What were you thinking?" he asked angrily.
"Oh I don't know….something," Falconflight meowed.
Time Skip….
It was the kits' apprentice ceremony, Sparrowclaw's kits: Shiningkit, Mountainkit and Stripekit had been born a quarter moon ago. Tidepaw and Nightpaw watched, eager for new denmates. But Falconflight's heart beat the loudest, she was sure of it. Today she would either get an apprentice or have to wait another six moons. Claystar signaled Silverkit by her side. Gingerstripe eyes her filled with happiness.
"Silverkit from this moment on you will be known as Silverpaw, Violetpool you are ready for your first apprentice, I hope you pass down your loyalty and compassion to Silverpaw," Claystar meowed. Then the next cat made Falconflight hope she had to wait another six moons.
"Eaglekit from this moment on you will be known as Eaglepaw, Your mentor will be…"
"Not me, please not me," muttered Falconflight.
"Falconflight."
Do you like the twist? Falconflight got an apprentice!(laughs evilly) How do you think VioletXWindy will play out? Hopefully I'll update soon! -Birdfeather
