Three moons had passed since Rusty had joined Thunderclan. He now took on the name Fireheart and served his clan the best he could. Sandpaw hadn't turned up and Fireheart felt terrible. Redtail had completely ignored Brindleface after what had happened. Fireheart wished that he didn't have to cause this much chaos.
The next morning Fireheart woke up and climbed out of the warriors den. Redtail assigned Fireheart to his hunting patrol. Fireheart agreed and followed the group outside the camp. He padded around the forest in search of prey. He sniffed the air and he picked up mouse scent mixed in with the smell of fish. Rusty was confused and followed the scent. The scent was coming from the river and he could see some cats. Rusty hid behind a tree and watched.
After Sandpaw left Thunderclan, Riverclan took her in and there she had a new set of training skills. She was supposed to be given her warrior name today. The other cats by her at the lake were Mistyfoot, Stonefur, and Mossflower. "I can't believe your going to be a warrior today! You get to be in the same den as us!" Mossflower purred. "I know, it's going to be great. Riverclan is better then those kittypet Thunderclanners" Sandpaw remarked.
Mistyfoot sighed, "I don't feel comfortable talking about other clans behind there back." Sandpaw looked at her, "Alright fine." Stonefur flicked his tail and traveled back to camp, leaving the three.
Fireheart quickly padded back to the group. Redtail saw him, "Couldn't catch anything?" Fireheart shook his head. "But I learned something.."
The patrol returned to camp and went to Thistlestar's den. A little kit watched them. "Bramblekit? What are you doing?" a squeak sounded behind him. "Just watching camp" Bramblekit meowed. Tawnykit, his sister, nodded. She sat beside her brother and nuzzled his shoulder. Tigerclaw returned from the border patrol and padded over to his kits. "Daddy!" Bramblekit meowed. Tigerstar nuzzled his kits. He padded inside to his mate, Goldenflower. "Hello my dear" he purred and lapped her ear. Goldenflower purred, "Hello Tigerclaw."
Thistleclaw growled at the news. "We need to pay Riverclan a visit." He padded outside. He announced the news to his fellow clan members. "Riverclan is taking in Thunderclan cats, who knows what secrets they could know! If Riverclan can't control themselves, then we'll make them!" Thistleclaw snarled. "We will attack soon."
"Daddy, I want to fight!" Bramblekit meowed. Tigerclaw shook his head, "You're still a young kit, but soon you'll be ready." Bramblekit sighed, "Ok daddy." Tawnykit yawned and climbed into Goldenflower's nest and slept beside her. Goldenflower wrapped her tail around Tawnykit. Bramblekit yawned and crawled in beside Tawnykit.
Sandstorm stood outside the warriors den. She had gotten her name and knew she had to wait and watch camp this night like all new warriors do. She felt like someone was watching her by the river today. She sighed and watched camp.
