The Tail of A Warrior Cat…Get it? Tail?

3rd Pov

Leopardspot looked over the edge in horror. "Heatherstripe!" She cried out in agony. The two were sisters.

The fox took this a chance to attack. It used its tail to unbalance the two kits and sent them tumbling off its back. The fox got into position, ready to kill Leopardspot. Leopardspot turned around just in time, and her surprised look turned into a snarl.

"If you thought that you would get away with killing my sister," she growled, "Then you're WRONG!" Leopardspot jumped on its back, putting deep scratches near its spine. Then she rolled of its back, biting the fox's furry hind leg. Leopardspot then gave the fox a deep and powerful bite in its neck. The two kits cheered. They stopped as soon as the fox fell to the ground, dead. Soon after, they erupted into even louder cheers. Pancakes and Waffles once again stopped as soon as a gray cat, slightly larger than them, carried them into the forest.

Leopardspot caught up with the mysterious cat. "What do you think you're doing Graypaw?" She hissed. Unfortunately for him and the kits, he stumbled over a bramble, tripped, and dropped both of the kits onto the ground.

"I-I didn't see you there Leopardspot," he stammered. "I just thought that these two might be from another clan."

Leopardspot rolled her blue eyes. "What type of kit is dumb enough to stray outside of all four of the clans' territories?"

"Uh… A dumb kit?" Graypaw replied.

Leopardspot rolled her eyes again at the tom. "The answer is none. These two are kittypets," she told Graypaw sternly. "They must go home.

"But we need more apprentices and you know it! Petaldust and Echomist are already senior warriors, but they still have to do apprentice duties! Even you have to do them every once in a while!" Graypaw blurted out.

Petaldust poked her head out from the bushes. "He's right Leopardspot," she said.

Leopardspot ignored her. "Iceflower's and Brightpool's kits can be apprentices," Leopardspot argued.

"Four apprentices aren't enough." Graypaw argued back.

"Yes they are!" Leopardspot snapped.

"So? We should try to have as many apprentices as we can. We'll have an advantage over the other clans," Graypaw replied.

Leopardspot sighed. "That's true," she admitted. "Alright, alright, let's see what we can do."

Back at camp…

Silverkit giggled as she and her two best friends, Mistykit and Firekit, raced across the clearing, away from her father, who was currently chasing them. "He's gaining on us!" Firekit shouted. Mistykit let out a terrified noise but didn't drop the mouse that they stole.

The mouse that the three had stolen was the mouse that Blackstripe, her father, was eating. They headed towards the nursery, so that they could be in the protection of Iceflower, her mother, but instead of crashing into a bundle of white fur, they crashed into a bundle of tortoiseshell fur.

Graypaw's Pov

Silverkit, Mistykit, and Firekit crashed into Leopardspot. "Watch where you're going kits," I sneered. The kits scrambled onto their paws and rushed towards the nursery. Then, Blackstripe appeared. "Have you seen those three troublemakers?" He asked. "They're in the nursery," I muttered.

He gave a quick "Thanks", and sped off towards the kits.

"Why so hard on them?" Leopardspot asked. "Who?" I asked, confused. "The kits. You always treat them like they're better than you," she stated. "That's because they are. Stonefire, my father, loves Mistykit and Firekit better than me. He doesn't have a choice though. Their mother is still alive. She'll notice if he loves me more. It's not like he actually loves me anyway," I say coldly.

"Oh Graypaw, he does love you. You just remind him of your mother," Leopardspot said.

"Yeah, right," I said.

"Why hate Silverkit though? She isn't even related to you. You two also use to play with each other a lot. Even when you became an apprentice you still hung out with her," Leopardspot said, obviously wanting to know something.

"That has completely nothing to do with this, okay!? We just got into a fight yesterday, and I don't want to talk about it!" I growled.

"I'm just worried about you! I'm your mentor!" Leopardspot hissed.

"If you want to know so badly, then fine! Silverkit wanted to be a medicine cat! She's a brilliant fighter and she's wasting her skills! And she chose Mistykit and Firekit to be her friends instead of me!"

I spun around and walked towards the apprentice den, not waiting to hear her reply. I crawled on top of my nest. I clawed at the wall; I could do anything in here anyway. There aren't any other apprentices. I closed my eyes, willing the sleep to overcome me.

Pancakes

"Where are we!?" I cried out. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," Waffles said. Pppth. What an overprotective brother. I can't say that I don't like it though. :D We followed Leopardspot as she walked around the place that she was from. All of the sudden, three cats our age appeared and bumped into Leopardspot. The gray cat that picked us up earlier hissed something at them, and the three cats scrambled onto their paws and sped towards one of the dens that surrounded us. Leopardspot led us toward a den filled with several types of herbs and left us to wait there for some so called "Medicine Cat".

Sparkleleaf's Pov

I walked into my den to go grab some catmint so that Windclan's medicine cat had enough for the upcoming leaf-bare, just to see two kits that were covered in blood and scratches sitting in the den, patiently waiting for me. "Woah! You two must have been attacked by a fox or something!" I exclaimed. I fetched some cobwebs and dock to stop their bleeding and to make their sore pads feel better.

"I feel better already!" One shouted. "I feel better too!" The other shouted. "Well, good for you. Stay here while I go do something really quickly," I ordered. The two kits both groaned. Hah! They think that they can get out. Well, I prove them wrong.

Silverkit's Pov

Graypaw turned so mean after Firekit and Mistykit were born! Before Mistykit and Firekit were born, he never sneered, or scowled, or anything! It's like it kills him to see me having fun with them! It's not that big of a deal… Right?

Leopardspot's Pov

I slowly walked into Breezestar's den. "Breezestar? Are you there?" I quietly crept in. "Leopardspot, did you even hear what I said? Well, I said NO COMING INTO MY DEN! Now GET OUT!" Breezestar grumpily yelled.

"But this is important!" I exclaimed. "Please listen!"

"FINE! But make it quick!" Breezestar made shooing motions with his paws. "Go on," he yawned. "Well, two kittypets were found battling a fox, so Heatherstripe and I went to go help," I explained. "And where is Heatherstripe?" Breezestar asked.

"Um… let's just say that she's in Starclan now," I said, slowly backing out the den. "WHAT!? Leaf-bare is coming soon! We can't afford to lose anymore warriors!" Breezestar shouted. "W-Well maybe we could recruit the two kits that were battling the fox? They're almost old enough to be apprentices," I suggested.

Breezestar thought about it for a while. "All right," he shrugged. Then he got of his lazy butt and climbed on top of his den. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey please approach the high rock."

Most of the cats were already out by the time he spoke his words. "We will have to kits join our clan and become apprentices. Sparkleleaf, send them up."

The Thunderclan medicine cat did as she was told. "Nightshadow and Bramblefeather, you should come up too," Breezestar instructed. The two warriors looked at each other excitedly and sat next to Breezestar. Pancakes and Waffles did the same.

"Pancakes, until you have received your full warrior name, your name shall be Snowpaw. Waffles, until you have received your full warrior name, you name shall be Stonepaw. Nightshadow and Bramblefeather will be your mentors," Breezestar announced. "Snowpaw, Stonepaw, Snowpaw, Stonepaw..." Thunderclan cheered.

"In addition, Silverkit, Mistykit, and Firekit will also be apprentices," Breezestar mentioned. "Firekit, Mistykit, Silverkit, do you promise to defend your clan no matter what happens?"

Firekit's yes was heard through all of the forest. Mistykit let out a tiny "I do," and Silverkit just nodded her head. Most cats just snickered or giggled, but I noted that Graypaw was still scowling scornfully. Not at Silverkit, but at Mistykit and Firekit.

"Silverkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name,you will be known as Silverpaw. Mistykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mistypaw. Your mentor shall be Blackstripe. Firekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Firepaw. Your mentor shall be Echomist," Breezestar added.

Sparkleleaf ran up to the Thunderclan leader and whispered something into his ear. "Oh, yes, and Silverpaw will train as a medicine cat. Her mentor shall be Sparkleleaf," Breezestar said.

Gasps of shock went through the camp. Then yowls of protest rose from my clanmates. "Silverpaw can't be the medicine cat!" "She's wasting her skills!" Graypaw smirked at Silverkit when a cat said that. "She's a brilliant fighter! Why would she choose to be the medicine cat?" "Is this because Sparkleleaf is growing old?" That comment pissed Sparkleleaf off. Sparkleleaf glared as hard as she could at the cat who commented on her age.

"Well, even if you don't like it, Silverpaw is the one who gets to choose," Breezestar said, defending the clan's newest medicine cat apprentice.

Now it was time for Silverpaw to smirk at Graypaw. Graypaw scowled once again and stalked towards the apprentice's den.

Graypaw's Pov

Well. I'll have to clean up the mess that I made in the apprentice's den to make room. Ugh, what the heck? I'll just do it later. Or, make the other apprentices do it. I smiled coldly at my smart thinking. Then, I lied on my nest to continue my sleep that got interrupted by their ceremony. Then, I opened my eyes, finding myself in the Dark Forest like always…

Mwuahahaha! Cliffe! I tried to make it as dramatic as I could. Yeah…. Well, actually there is no cliffe because I still have more to write about in this chapter…

Bloodclaw's Pov

It has been centuries since Hawkfrost, Brokenstar, and Tigerstar's death. But the clans have never expected us to get back at them, did they? Like last time, we are recruiting warriors from the clans. But, this time, we are brainwashing the ones that we recruited. They shall act more cruel and vicious than they were before, and this time, they will also be brainwashed into coming to the Dark Forest willingly. We've also found a way to disguise our scent and hide our pawprints, so we may have an advantage…. MUAHAHAHAH! Oh, Graypaw's coming. I better start training him.

3rd Pov

In the Dark Forest…

Graypaw pounced on Bloodclaw and waited patiently for him to strike back, but he didn't. Just as Graypaw stopped paying attention, Bloodclaw shook him off made a disapproving look.

"You cannot be distracted. The enemy will attack every time they have a chance! Now, let's work on getting a group of cats off of you all at once…"

A/N so what do you think? I tried to make it the longest that I could. Hope you liked it! Also, I don't need reviews or comments to write another chapter, but they would be appreciated.
