Chapter #8 The Sign -
Blackpaw was almost a full warrior, only a moon or two more with Sootfur and she should be a warrior by Leaf-fall. She was great at running and rolling away from a enemy cat. She could climb and leap so well that Sootfur claimed she was a gift from StarClan... She was great at digging up mice and voles too. Which she taught to the other apprentices. All the cats that were apprentices when she became a apprentice where now warriors and new kits were being born. Squirrelflight had a her litter of three kits a little more than a moon ago, with Ashfur or Brambleclaw, nobody really knew. The Twolegs seemed to stop a little on what they were doing and seemed to want to wait till New-Leaf. Oaktree learned a bit of fighting moves from the new apprentices and elders. Ravenwing and Blackpaw seemed to get closer each day or, Blackpaw is dreaming. Everything was going good for ThunderClan so far.
"Hey Leafpool, having any trouble?" Spiderleg asked, "I could help."
"No not at the moment, but thanks anyways!" She gave his ear a quick lick and then walked off into Cinderpelt's den.
Spiderleg walked to the nursery to check up on his mate, Whitefrost. She was expecting a litter very soon and he wanted to make sure she was a comfortable as possible.
"Everything seems to be going well, the forest is starting to grow back and prey is coming too." Ravenwing told Blackpaw.
"Isn't it great?" She asked happily, "Everything is lovely and beautiful!" She started to dance around. Ravenwing laughed and joined her.
"Let's go hunt!" The black cat suggested after a moment of dizziness.
"I'm beat... This is the third bird I've caught next to the two mice and a vole!" Blackpaw whined.
"May I ask you a question?" Ravenwing asked.
"Well you just did..I'm kidding. Go ahead."
"Where did your scars come from, a heroic battle?" He asked looking at the right side of her face.
"No, a thorn bush, I got stuck in one when I was really little. If my Mom and Leafpool didn't help me I would of got more injured and I would of bled to death..." She looked at her paws and secretly thanked StarClan for giving her life.
"Oh..." They picked up their prey and walked back to camp.
'Who should be the next warrior?" Firestar asked BrambleClaw
"How about Littlepaw? Or Wrenpaw, she's been training for moons!"
A light breeze flew into the cave. A few leaves flew in and a certain thing caught Firestar's and Graystripe's eye and right then and there they knew who was to be the next warrior.

Then a owl flew away from the den, his wings creating a small breese and more leafs flew into the cave. A black pettle fell from his beak to the ground next to sleeping Ravenwing.
