TWILIGHTKIT

"Twilightkit, do you promise to uphold the ways of the warrior code as you train, and follow the will of StarClan?" Spiritstar boomed. "I do." " Then from this moment on, until she has earned her warrior name, Twilightkit will be known as Twilightpaw. Her mentor will be Mistyshimmer. " As the newly named Twilightpaw prickled with excitement, the surrounding cats chanted the new apprentice names. "TWILIGHTPAW! FALCONPAW! MUDDYPAW! STORMPAW!" Slowly the crowd dispersed, and Falconpaw, who was just as excited as Twilightpaw, came over to talk to her. She was still staring up at the Skyledge where Spiritstar had renamed her.

FALCONPAW

"Hey, Twilightpaw!" "Yes?" "Something weird is going on! Featherfrost, Olivebreeze, AND Spiritstar are in her den!" "Really?" "Yeah! Let's go check it out!" As the two apprentices raced across the clearing, Falconpaw's mind was reeling. Could this have something to do with us? Olivebreeze is Twilightpaw's mother. "Huh!" Falconpaw hadn't meant to gasp aloud. Twilightpaw glanced at him to make sure he was alright, then hid in the bracken near Spiritstar's den. Could this have something to do with the prophecy?

TWILIGHTPAW

As they hid in the bracken, Twilightpaw crept a bit closer to the den entrance. She began to hear voices.

"But Featherfrost, you made the prophecy sound so clear."

"Spiritstar, I only revisited the signs today. I misinterpreted the smoke, thinking it was a storm."

" And the pool of mud?"

" I had thought the twinkling stars were leaves. When I looked closer, I saw that they were definitely stars. Now that I think of it, I could have sad it was a shining pool of twilight." The last thing Twilightpaw saw before backing up was her mother's quivering tail. It's me, not Muddypaw. Its Falconpaw, not Stormpaw. We are the cats in the prophecy. "C-come on," she managed. "Let's get some sleep."

How do you like THAT, huh?
