Hi everyone!

I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while!

I have just been with finals coming up, but I will still try to update as soon as possible!

Now here is Chapter 19 (can you believe that this story has 19 chapters now? Cause I can't!)

Enjoy!

"From this moment on you will be known as Darkpool!" Crowstar yowled. The newly named warrior licked her leader's shoulder and he rested his head on her head. Darkpool took a step back and gazed up at her father with joy.

"Darkpool! Sleekflight! Leafstorm! Silvermoon! Shadeclaw!" The clan cats cheered into the warm greenleaf air.

*this is a perfect day* Darkpool sighed.

"We shall remain strong until the end the clans," Crowstar yowled. "This meeting is officially over," Crowstar jumped off tall rock and padded towards Heathertail. Heathertail gave birth to three kits who were made apprentices there moons ago. There was Hawkpaw who was a gray tom with ice blue eyes, Wolfpaw who was a dark grey she cat with amber eyes, and last was Sunpaw she was a small cat who looked almost identical to her mother. She had blue eyes.

"Darkpool! Come and join us!" Sleekflight called by the fresh-kill pile. He and Leafstorm were sharing a large hare. Darkpool padded over to them.

"Why isn't Silvermoon eating with us?" Darkpool asked. She had noticed her sister a few rabbit hops away eating with Shadeclaw.

Leafstorm shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know why."

" Maybe she just wants to have time with her new mate, " Sleekflight meowed. His voice for deeper but he still had that playful gleam in his eye. Darkpool settled beside her brothers and took a large bite out of the hare's hunches.

Crowstar approached the newly named warriors after they finished eating, "it is the clan tradition that you will keep vigal until dawn," he paused. "But since there is so many of you we are going to split it up, Darkpool you take watch tonight with Silvermoon and Sleekflight. So that leaves Leafstorm and Shadeclaw to watch tomorrow night," Crowstar meowed. Darkpool nodded along with the other warriors.

Darkpool stared in wonder at the stars. She never really paid that much attention at the Silverpelt when she was younger. She wasn't allowed to talk unless there was an enemy attacking camp. Silvermoon also stared at the stars while Sleekflight was taking his guarding duty seriously. His amber eyes focused on the moor that was turning silver by the moon. The moon was almost full so that meant that there was going to be a gathering soon. Darkpool hoped she was coming so she could be announced to the clans. Darkpool remembered the first time that she went to the gathering. She was so young and naive. Darkpool's siblings were always playing pranks on each other. Darkpool remembered the time when she jumped on Sleekflight -Sleekpaw back then- and told him to say that Darkpool is the best sister in all the clans and he is a weak brother. After that Sleekpaw put fire ants in her nest, luckily Leafpool found out and told Sleekpaw to switch nest with his sister but he refused. So then Leafpool ended up switching the nests and Sleekpaw got bit multiple times. Sleekpaw never did that again.

Darkpool struggled to keep her eyes open. She felt a tail tap her shoulder and saw that it was Sleekflight. He pointed his nose upwards to the rising sun. Crowstar passed by them with the dawn patrol.

"Go and get some sleep," he ordered as he walked past. Darkpool nodded and headed towards the warrior den. She saw three nest, she smelled them and realized that they were new. Darkpool settled into one of the nest and put her tail over her muzzle and fell asleep.

Darkpool woke up and saw the sun overhead. She stretch and opened her mouth into a massive yawn. Almost all the warriors were outside. Only Darkpool and Sleekflight remained. Darkpool nudged her brother.

"Come on, I think we slept long enough."

Sleekflight got up and headed outside following Darkpool.

"How was the vigal?" Leafpool asked.

"Long," Sleekflight answered opening his jaws for a yawn.

"Heathertail wants to see you," Leafpool meowed and headed towards a patrol waiting for her.

Darkpool and Sleekflight headed towards Heathertail, who was waiting by tall rock.

"Darkpool I want you to go on a hunting patrol with Crouchfoot, Larkwing, and Breezepelt,'' She meowed. Then Heathertail turned towards Sleekflight, "You go on a border patrol with Leaftail, Furzepelt, and Brindleheart. And take Leaftail's apprentice Wolfpaw," Heathertail ordered.

Darkpool dipped her head and went to find the cats she was supposed to go out with.

Darkpool headed out of camp with the cats. Larkwing's apprentice Hawkpaw was was talking to Crouchfoot's apprentice Sunpaw. Breezepelt was leading the patrol to a flat grassy area where rabbits were very common. Darkpool smelled rabbit and signaled the patrol with her tail to be quiet. They weren't at the grassy field yet but the black she cat saw no reason why they couldn't stop for a minute and hunt. She crept quietly and slowly towards the rabbit. The rabbit was busy eating leaves off of a bush when the wind changed direction and Darkpool's scent carried over to the rabbit. The prey lifted his head and bolted. Darkpool shot after it and was aware of a gray cat running beside her.

"I try to run the rabbit into your paws," Darkpool meowed to Hawkpaw.

He nodded and dropped back a little to let the she cat over power it. Darkpool have a sharp turn and the rabbit turned and ran towards Hawkpaw. Hawkpaw pounced on the prey. The rabbit have a shriek right before Hawkpaw killed it. Darkpool walked over to the apprentice.

"Nice job," Darkpool meowed.

"Thanks! We did it together," he meowed back, his ice blue eyes full of happiness.

The two cats headed back to the patrol and continued to hunt.

Silvermoon

Silvermoon was out gathering herbs. Kesterflight was sick and Woodpelt was too worried about his old mentor to leave him. Woodpelt needed someone to gather herbs and Silvermoon volunteered. The silver she cat was with Shadeclaw. They were down by the lake gathering catmint and feverfew along the banks.

"What do you remember about your mother and Hopkit?" Silvermoon asked her mate.

Shadeclaw took a moment before replying, "I remember the scent of Gorsetail's fur and how she would purr when Hopkit and I would try to fetch her a vole. That was her favorite thing to eat, vole."

" What about Hopkit? " Silvermoon asked. She knew it was a hard topic for him but she didn't know what else to talk about.

"I remember his fur and his eyes when he pretended to be innocent," Shadeclaw laughed as he remembered a story. " I remember this one time when he put poppy seeds in Gorsetail's fresh-kill. He did that because we didn't want to take a nap. She did fall asleep and Hopkit and I tried to stay awake but then we fell asleep," Shadeclaw meowed.

Silvermoon laughed at the story, "did you get in trouble for it?"

Shadeclaw shook his head, "No, but we decided not to do it ever again."

They were quiet for a minute, focused on nipping the herbs out of the ground.

Shadeclaw spotted a large clump of feverfew in the lake and went to go get it. On accident he splashed his mate. Silvermoon looked up and shook her pelt. The silver cat slapped her paws against the water and splashed Shadeclaw. Shadeclaw looked up and stared at Silvermoon.

"Hey! What was that for?" He hollered.

"You splashed me!" Silvermoon hollered back.

"That was an accident!"

" Yeah right! " Silvermoon meowed.

Shadeclaw splashed his mate again, "That is a splash that I did on purpose the other one was accidental."

" Well so is this! " Silvermoon chased her mate in the shallow part of the lake splashing him.

Shadeclaw turned to Silvermoon and started chasing her. He spat water at her and flicked his wet tail at her.

Silvermoon laughed and ran with Shadeclaw only a mouse length behind her.

Suddenly Shadeclaw disappeared. Silvermoon looked around for him and started to worry that he fell into the deep part of the lake. She headed towards some reeds, whipping her head back and forth. Suddenly Shadeclaw jumped out of the dress and pounced on Silvermoon. She fell backwards into the water getting soaked. When Silvermoon got up she glared at tabby tom and pushed him into the water with her head. While Shadeclaw was in the water Silvermoon ran towards the bank. Shadeclaw jumped up out of the water and also went to the bank. Silvermoon laughed at the sight of her mate, his fur was sticking up in every direction. Shadeclaw flicked her with his tail. The two cats picked up the herbs and headed back to camp with their fur brushing.

I will do my best to update soon!
