I am making a risk on this chapter, but if it succeeds it should be great. BTW there are several time skips.


"Sweetmint!" Exclaimed an orange cat.

"What do you want, Blazeheart?" Asked Sweetmint.

"I got a prophecy." Answered Blazeheart.

"What is the prophecy?" Asked Sweetmint.

"Only the sweetest and the sky can save the fox." Replied Blazeheart.

"Sorry I don't know what the prophecy means, but try to get used to solving things on your own." Said Sweetmint.

"Why?" Asked Blazeheart.

"I gave you your name so early because I am slowly dying from an unknown illness, and I may die anytime." Replied Sweetmint sadly.


A white she-cat with orange ears was in the nursery with her two she kits and her black and orange mate.

"Brightwish what should we name them?" Said the orange and black tom.

"Orangeback, I think we should name the white one Sweetkit after Sweetmint. Do you agree?" Said Brightwish.

"Sweetkit is a wonderful name for her." Agreed Orangeback.

"What should we name the pale orange one?" Asked Brightwish.

"We should name her Dawnkit because she is as beautiful as dawn." Replied Orangeback.

"I agree." Brightwish Agreed.

They licked their kits and when Orangeback was about to leave He stepped back in.

"Sweetkit, Dawnkit, I will always protect you." Said Orangeback.


"Sweetkit please come over here." Pleaded a pale orange she-kit.

"Dawnkit, I'm coming." Said Sweetkit.

"Hurry!" Exclaimed Dawnkit.

"Ok." Replied Sweetkit.

"Sweetkit, I dare you to follow the sunhigh patrol out of the camp and not come back until sunset. If you succeed I will eat one of Blazeheart's herbs." Said Dawnkit.

"I accept the dare." Said Sweetkit.

"Hurry or you might miss the patrol." Said Dawnkit.

"On my way there." Said Sweetkit.

The patrol was about to leave and Sweetkit got there just in time. She waited until Honeypool's tail disappeared until sneaking out after them. Sweetkit was amazed by all the trees and smells. She didn't watch where she was going and after a while she tripped into a hole. She climbed out and continued walking around until she saw a giant beech tree and I smelled a mouse. She decided to try to catch it because she was hungry. She was heading towards it when she got stuck in crumbling dirt. She slowly sank and she was to scared to yowl for help.

She later found herself in a tunnel and soon she saw a reddish cat approaching so she hid. He seemed to be calling for help. She was found by him soon afterwards. Sweetkit was very scared and when the reddish tom said his name was Foxpaw she remembered the story of the lost apprentice. She was never told the apprentice's name, but she knew he was real. The apprentice was a paw for two moons when he sank into crumbling dirt. Nobody was able to pull him out, and he was never seen again. She thought that he might be the missing apprentice because he had an apprentice name, and it didn't seem like and other clan cats were around.


"Wake up Sweetkit."Foxpaw said.
