Hey guys, I'm back! This is the last chapter, but after this I'm gonna write an epilouge and then I'll start the sequel.

"Ratpaw, Ratpaw, wake up!"
The brown apprentice groggily opened her eyes to Whitepelt nudging her side.
What happened?
Oh, right.
Her side was covered in cobwebs, and so were the scratches on her head and belly. Ratpaw noticed Tsunamipaw had cuts on his back and half of his right ear was missing. Whitepelt had a scar above her left eye and Ashfur's front legs and right side were pretty beaten, too.
"Here, drink this," Ashfur pushed a water-soaked piece moss towards her. Ratpaw struggled to her paws and licked at the moss.
"Are you well enough to travel?" Tsunamipaw asked her anxiously.
Whitepelt gave him a dirty look and swiped at his ear playfully. "Don't ask her that!" She scolded.
"Why?" He asked.
"No, its fine," Ratpaw mewed, ignoring the sharp pain in her side.
"Let's leave," Ashfur said, "Here, lean on me."
Ratpaw accepted his offer and let him support her. "Let's go," She growled.
As the four cats approached the city once more, they hesitated. What if they had another run-in with the Scavengers? But if they didn't go through the city, how would they get back to the ThunderClan camp? Leaf-bare was rapidly coming on, and they did not want to be caught in the city for an entire season.
Ratpaw drew in her breath. "We have to go through," she sighed.
Whitepelt nodded and walked in front of the group. They followed her. Soon, they were back with the noise and confusion of the city. The group walked on until nightfall, and found a good place to sleep in a dark alley. When they awoke again, they immediately set off, wanting to get home. At dusk, the towers were finally beginning to thin out again and They cats knew they would be with Ravenpaw and Barley again by Moonhigh.
"We need to hunt," Whitepelt said reasonably.
"Nonsense," Tsunamipaw replied, "we'll hunt when we get to the Clans' old home."
"Tsunamipaw," Ashfur whispered, "we need to hunt now."
Tsunamipaw sighed. "Alright. Whitepelt and I will hunt. Ashfur, stay with Ratpaw. We'll bring both of you something."
A few minutes later, Tsunamipaw returned with a mouse and a vole. "Here." He gave the vole to Ratpaw just as Whitepelt came up with a sparrow and another mouse. She gave the mouse to Ashfur and ate the sparrow herself. Tsunamipaw chewed on his mouse.
"Come on." Ratpaw heaved herself to her paws and Ashfur was right there to steady her. Tsunamipaw and Whitepelt stood too.
Sure enough, when Moonhigh came, Ravenpaw and Barley's came into view. The black cat was out hunting and spotted them.
"Hey there!" He called. Tsunamipaw bounded over.
"Can we rest here for tonight?" He asked.
"Of course!" Ravenpaw said like Tsunamipaw didn't even need to ask for permission to spend the night.
When all the cats had settled down, Ravenpaw demanded to all the details of their journey. Considering the fact that Ratpaw had fallen to slep in the straw and hay, Ashfur and Tsunamipaw told him the story. Whiteplt drifted off to sleep halfway through their story-telling.
When dawn came, the cats set off once more. By Sunhigh, the ThunderClan territory was in sight. A border patrol of Thornclaw, Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Brackenfur was out and spotted them. Squirrelflight gave Ashfur's shoulder a break by letting Ratpaw lean on her. Squirrelflight took Ratpaw to her sister Leafpool, and her sister's mentor Cinderpelt.
Only after both Cinderpelt and Leafpool had had a good look at her was Ratpaw allowed to go to Firestar to tell him where they had been. The wise ThunderClan leader nodded thoughtfully after her story.
"Ratpaw, you are a loyal ThunderClan apprentice. This journey proves to me that you deserve to become a warrior. Tsunamipaw too. Go grab some fresh-kill and I'll start the ceremony."
At dusk, Firestar called the Clan together. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here!"
Tsunamipaw and Ratpaw stood on the rock with Firestar. The leader told the Clan about the journey the brother and sister had shared with Whitepelt and Ashfur. At the end of the story, Firestar asked, "Now who says that these two apprentices don't deserve to become warriors?"
No one said anything, not even Spiderleg and Grasspaw.
"Then I call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon these two apprentices and let them become a warrior in their turn. Tsunamipaw, from now on, you shall be known as Tsunamiwave. Ratpaw, from now on, you shall be known as Silkshine, in honor of your mother, Maple's wishes."
"Tsunamiwave! Silkshine!" The Clan chorused.
"How did he know about Maple and her wanting to name you Silk?" He whispered.
"He told me to tell him everything," Silkshine replied.
