Cinders From Fire Will Save The Clan
Summary
What if Fireheart had been on the Thunderpath instead of Cinderpaw, and what if Fireheart had become Yellowfang's apprentice, but somethings are worth breaking the code.
Cinderpelt's Confession
Cinderpaw walked out of the apprentice's den followed by her brother, Brackenpaw. Glancing around, she spotted Sandstorm talking to Bluestar. 'Probably about my training.' Her former mentor, Fireheart, had become crippled forcing him to train as a medicine cat, and Sandstorm had become her new mentor. 'Maybe I should ask Sandstorm to take me hunting.' She thought, as she gazed up at the sky, where the sun was high in the sky showing that it was sunhigh.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting" Bluestar yowled, making her glance over to see Bluestar standing on top of the Highrock. 'I wonder what this meeting is about?' She thought, going to sit under the Highrock beside her brother, out of the corner of her eye she noticed Fireheart limping out of the medicine den followed by Yellowfang.
"I would like to welcome two new warriors to the clan, Cinderpaw, Brackenpaw step forward" Bluestar meowed, and Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw stepped forward as Bluestar had instructed.
"I, Bluestar, leader of ThunderClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices, they have worked hard to learn your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn" Bluestar meowed, pausing for a minute.
"Cinderpaw, Brackenpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan even at the cost of your Clan?" Bluestar says, staring down at both Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw.
"I do" Cinderpaw meowed, hearing her brother echo her.
"Then from this day forwards you will be known as, Cinderpelt, StarClan honors your bravery, and loyalty and welcomes you as a full warrior of ThunderClan" Bluestar meowed, turning to Brackenpaw.
"From this day forwards you will be known as, Brackenfur, StarClan honors your bravery and strength and welcomes you as a full warrior of ThunderClan" Bluestar meowed.
"Cinderpelt, Brackenfur, Cinderpelt, Brackenfur" warriors started to yowl.
Cinderpelt smiled almost not noticing Fireheart limping up to her and her brother. "Congratulations you two" Fireheart meowed, from behind her making her turn towards him. She had always had a crush on him, and even though he was training as a medicine cat now, that wasn't going to keep her from confessing her feelings.
"Thank you, can I talk to you alone in the forest?" Cinderpelt asked him, her heart pounding.
"Sure" Fireheart meowed, his eyes filled with concern before he turned and limped into the forest. Cinderpelt waited a few minutes before racing after him finding him by an oak tree.
"Fireheart, I've got to tell you something" Cinderpelt told him.
"What is it Cinderpelt? Is something wrong?" He asked her, watching her with worry in his eyes
"Fireheart, I love you" Cinderpelt whispered, and Fireheart just sat, staring at her with wide emerald green eyes.
