Chapter 13
I decided to double post again for the long weekend.
Gingerear felt the cold night winds buffet her fur. I can't wait till sunrise. She shivered as she looked to Icefrost.
Her sister was shifting her paws as she stared at the forest beyond. A bit of light was coming up, showing that sunrise was coming.
Blizzardpaw came out with Mudpaw. Behind them were their mentors, Maplefur and Spiderleg.
"Cold vigil?" Blizzardpaw asked.
Mudpaw had a scornful look on her face. She whispered something into Blizzardpaw's ear. Blizzardpaw flicked his ears as he listened.
Gingerear glared at her. Mudpaw had been made an apprentice three quarter moons before Gingerear and Gingerear had already become a warrior.
"See ya!" Blizzardpaw ran off and Mudpaw ran to follow. Their mentors slowly walked after them, knowing they were going to have to make their apprentices wait.
Cloudtail came out of the hollow with Skykit, his daughter, Whitenose's kit from her latest litter.
Gingerear looked to her little cousin who mewed, "Can I hunt with you, Cloudtail?"
"No, go back to Whitenose."
"But I want to hunt!" Skykit complained.
Cloudtail rolled his eyes. "I was just like you as a kit, but I bothered Firestar. Now go back to Whitenose, don't get into trouble, okay?"
"I'll try." Skykit padded off.
"So, how are ThunderClan's two newest warriors?"
"Great!" Icefrost mewed happily.
"Go sleep,"
"Thank you, Cloudtail!" Gingerear ran into the camp and almost turned into the apprentices' den.
Icefrost followed and meowed, "We go to the warriors' den."
"Right," Gingerear yawned as she headed to the warriors' den.
Both fell asleep, but for Gingerear, she had no dreams of StarClan.

Gingerear awoke without StarClan's guidance. Moonstream's words rung in her ears.
Gingerpaw mewed, "Why do you come to my dreams and not Starheart's? She's your mother."
"Starheart's destiny has been fulfilled. She no longer needs me to help her through life. Her destiny was fulfilled from the moment Firestar changed her name." Moonstream answered.
Gingerear stayed down with her head on her paws as she thought; does this mean my destiny is fulfilled?
Gingerear got up and went to Starheart's grave. Have I fulfilled my destiny, or is there more that StarClan wish me to do?
As Gingerear padded away she could have sworn she heard a voice whisper, The path StarClan have laid out for you goes much further.
Gingerear stared back at the grave. Maybe my destiny isn't complete quite yet.
her eagerly.
