It had been a moon. Whitepaw had decided to leave and not stay at the clan and Thunderpaw was now Thunderstreak.

Rainpaw was already up at sunrise. Tigerkit had joined him, and they were walking around camp. Tearstar emerged from her den, and walked up to them.

"Good," she said. "I needed to talk to you two."

"What about?" Rainpaw asked.

"I'm going to advance you two and Firepaw today." said Tearstar. "You will become a warrior, and Tigerkit will become an apprentice."

"We will?" Tigerkit exclaimed excitedly.

Tearstar chuckled. "Yes, you will." "And a few other cats will advance too."

"That's great!" said Tigerkit. He ran off excitedly.

"Thank you Tearstar." said Rainpaw as we padded off proud. He knew he had passed his assessment.

Tearstar leapt on the highrock and let out a yowl. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the highrock for a clan meeting!"

All the cats in the clan stumbled into the clearing.

"Already?" Rainpaw hissed.

"Rainpaw, Firepaw, and Dawnpaw please step forward." Tearstar said.

The apprentices came forward. "I, Tearstar, leader of Fireclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." Tearstar continued.

"Rainpaw, Firepaw, and Dawnpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your lives?"

"I do." each cat said in turn.

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior names. Rainpaw, Firepaw, and Dawnpaw, from this moment you will be known as Rainfur, Firesong, and Dawnpelt. StarClan honors your courage, and we welcome you as full warriors of Fireclan."

"Rainfur! Firesong! Dawnpelt!" the cats in the clearing chanted warmly.

The three apprentices congradulated each other and then sat back down.

"Rainfur?" Jayfeather exclaimed. "You're name is Rainhead!"

"Well...yes." Rainhead said. "I changed it when I came back over here because I had disowned my old clan."

"But why did you disown them?" Dovepaw asked.

"Keep listening." Rainhead said.

"Tigerkit, Snakekit, and Shadowkit, please step forward." Tearstar mewed.

The three kits stepped forward.

"Tigerkit, Snakekit, and Shadowkit." Tearstar started. "From this day, until you receive your warrior names, you will be known as Tigerpaw, Shadowpaw, and Snakepaw. I ask Starclan to watch over you and guide you until you find in your paws the strength and courage of a warrior.

"Tigerpaw," Tearstar continued. "Your mentor will be Moonblaze. Snakepaw, your mentor will be Firesong, and Shadowpaw your mentor will be Dawnpelt."

The mentors came up and touched noses with the apprentices.

"Now Blazekit, Leafkit, Foxkit, Icekit, and Bellkit step forward." Tearstar said.

As the apprentices came forward, Rainfur worried.

"Do we have enough mentors?" he hissed.

"From this day, until you receive your warrior names, you will be known as Blazepaw, Leafpaw, Foxpaw, and Icepaw. I ask Starclan to watch over you and guide you until you find in your paws the strength and courage of a warrior."

"Blazepaw, your mentor will be Fallenleaf, Leafpaw, your mentor will be Rainfur, Foxpaw, your mentor will Shadowsun, Icepaw, your mentor will be Eagleheart, and Bellkit, your mentor will be Thunderstreak."

The remaining warriors came up and touched noses with the apprentices. As they sat back down, Rainfur wondered what they would do if there were more kits.

"Where is Moonblaze?" Rainfur hissed to himself. It had been a few moons since he became a warrior, and now he was wondering where his brother's mentor was.

He watched the elder Dustfang bring Eagleheart to the woods. He silently followed. He stopped in a bush downwind from them.

"I want you to meet someone." Dustfang told him. "Nightbird are you here?" he asked.

A black crow flew on a branch above them. "Hello my old friend and my new one." The bird spoke.

Rainpaw had never heard a bird talk before.

"H-hello I'm-." Eagleheart started but Nightbird cut him off

"Eagleheart, I know already." said Nightbird. Her black eyes fixed on him.

Eagleheart looked at Dustfang. "Dont look at me, I didn't tell her." said Dustfang

"Eagleheart, come with me. You too Dustfang." Nightbird spoke. She began to fly off and landed by a small pool of water.

Rainpaw saw Moonblaze slink off to the side but the other cats didn't seem to notice him.

Eagleheart ran up behind Dustfang.

"Look in the water." said Nightbird.

Eagleheart looked into the water. A moment later he stepped back. "It can't be!" he exclaimed. "Father?"

Rainpaw perked up. Eagleheart had seen his dead father in that pool?

"Yes it's me son." A voice spoke from the water."

"I-I" Eagleheart stuttered. "How did you really die?" he eventually asked.

"When you were a kit," the voice started. "Your mother and I were about to help form the clans with another cat, untill the wolf pack attacked. I told her to go back to the twoleg place. Don't be mad at her, please." the voice continued. "She lied to only keep you happy."

"Father, that did not make me happy." Eagleheart said "If she told the truth than I would understand."

"Eagleheart, it is time for me to go, help your mother take care of the clan...tell...tell..." then the voice disappeared.

Eagleheart looked at the pool one last time, than at Nightbird. "Thank you, Nightbird." said Eagleheart."

"You're welcome, Eagleheart." said Nightbird.

"Let's go back to camp, I'm growing tried." said Dustfang.

"Alright." laughed Eagleheart.

Nightbird landed on Eagleheart's head. "Take care of that old fool for me." said Nightbird.

"Ok." laughed Eagleheart. Nightbird then flew away.

"Come on!." yowled Dustfang.

"I'm coming." said Eagleheart.

They both walked back to camp. Rainfur slunk out of the bushes and padded back to camp after him. He would make sure to check this place out later.

He padded into the thorn barrier and walked up to Firesong. She looked very tired and it was almost moonhigh.

Rainfur walked beside Firesong towards the warriors den. "Now, you need to get rest." he said. "And don't wake up early for dawn patrol again tommorow."

She chuckled at his comment and gladly crawled into the warriors' den. She collapsed at the first available space of moss and instantly fell asleep.

Rainfur also chuckled at her being so willing to listen to him for once and curled up next to her.

He woke up, noticing Firesong had left. He followed her scent out to the forest. She picked up a black stone with swirls on it in her teeth. She padded off and laid it down on her mother's grave.

A burial stone Rainpaw realized. He felt a little guilty for sneaking around and he stepped out of the shadows and up to her. All of a sudden Icepaw ran up again. He sure had a way to interrupt things.

"What's that?" Icepaw asked.

"It's a stone of marble." Firesong said. "I just felt like something needed to mark mom's grave."

Rainfur nodded. "Then you might need this too. I found it out in the forest when I was a kit and was saving it for something special." He padded back and dragged a crystal out of a bush, picked it up and carried it. It glowed brightly in the moonlight, making everything seem warmer. "If a cat comes past here, they will know an honorable warrior was buried here." he said.

Firesong smiled and nodded, making a little hole next to the rock to make sure the crystal would be buried securely. "Can you take care of it cause I need to go back to camp," she said. And without waiting for a answer the flame colored cat left.

Rainfur padded up and continued to secure it. After he was done, he padded back to camp, feeling wierd. He didn't even stop to kill a mouse right beside him. He felt something was wrong, like he did when Blackout died and he needed to know what it was that was wrong.

He saw Firesong pad out of the medince den. Why was she in there?

Rainfur padded up to the clearing and up to Firesong. "Something wrong?" he asked, sensing her unease.

Firesong looked up at him and sighed. "Maybe... Maybe not. It depends on one's opinion and if it is true or not." She sighed and looked at the dirt.

"I wouldn't have an opinion if I didn't know what it was." Rainfur said.

"You wanna know?" she asked kneading the ground with her claws. She looked at him her eyes big. She took a breath without waiting for him to answer, "I went to Shadowsun to hope for her to tell me why I've felt so wierd latley and she told me her theory...she thinks I'm expecting kits."

BUM BUM BUUUUUUMMMM yeah lets go.
