Eh…. This has been sitting on my computer for how long now…. I need to stop being so busy. Anyway here it is indulge yourself…

Disclaimer: …anybody have a witty comment I can borrow?

A light gray tom with blue-gray feet and blue eyes was resting on a sunlit log his focus aimed at the seasoned apprentice before him. The apprentice was a brown tabby tom with a white tip to his tail and amber eyes.

"No Whitepaw, you must draw in more energy I can still see your outline a bit," the gray cat spoke softly but sternly.

The fuzzy brown outline steadily grew back into a whole apprentice. "Rainfoot, can we stop for lunch I'm getting hungry and the sun is high up in the sky," Whitepaw asked eagerly.

Rainfoot stretched drawing his sharp claws across the bark of the old log. "Yes I suppose that's one of your problems, invisibility is a really hard power to work with when you're hungry." the tom jumped from the log landing softly on the grass. "But you have improved today you got most of your tail to disappear, good work," Rainfoot flicked his tail for his apprentice to follow back to the inner parts of their territory.

Back at the center of camp Whitepaw grabbed a mouse from the pile and trotted over towards the fallen log that housed the apprentices. That log had been there since the start of the clan, petrified and hollowed out it never got brittle or soft with age.

Whitepaw jumped op the top of the log and greeted his friends. A mostly white calico she-cat greeted him, "Hey Whitepaw saw your training today that was really good."

"We're you fooling with the seer's pool again?" he asked all too knowingly. Instead of answering she stuffed her mouth with the remains of her blackbird.

"In other words, yes," a silver tom purred his blue eyes filled with amusement.

The mostly white cat glared at him, "I was training Moonpaw, and my task was to find out what each of you were doing and I did."

"Calm down Lightpaw, he was just pulling your tail," Whitepaw said to his sister.

Lightpaw jumped off of the log and looked over her shoulder. "I wouldn't be saying anything or I won't tell you about the new one," she said batting her friends with new information.

"A new cat? Unlikely those are rare," Moonpaw scuffed.

"Did I mention it was a pretty she-cat?" Lightpaw asked before carrying on, "she's blue-gray, with very bright blue eyes, Snowstar and Shimmergate went to see her today."

"What about Seastep? The deputy always goes when there are new cats," Whitepaw pointed out.

"Yah him too," Lightpaw agreed curling her tail around her paws.

"Wait, you aren't supposed to use the seer's pool without Shimmergate around, you were snooping," Moonpaw pointed out playfully.

"So what if I was, at least I wasn't padding after Sapphirepaw this morning," Lightpaw said smugly looking pleased with herself.

Moonpaw glared at Lightpaw, "what I do on my free time is my own business, especially when it concerns she-cats," he hissed.

The grass around Lightpaw's feet grew rapidly and threatened to wind around her forepaws. Lightpaw shrieked and scrambled to get away her paws already tangled in the grass.

"Lightpaw!" a black cat grabbed Lightpaw by the scruff and removed her from the patch. The grass snapped and loosened their hold freeing Lightpaw from their grasp.

The black tom placed a scared Lightpaw on the ground and turned to face Moonpaw. "Moonpaw, I said never, never, use your powers on clanmates!" the tom's blue eyes bore holes in his apprentice.

"I'm sorry Nightshade," Moonpaw mewed quietly.

"You'll be taking care of the elders for a moon now," Nightshade demanded.

"Ok Nightshade," Moonpaw mumbled.

"And I expect you to do a good job with it too, no trying to run around this one."

"Yes Nightshade."

"Alright then," Nightshade looked down at the frightened apprentice, "are you hurt?" he asked in a soft tone.

"No Nightshade, I'll be fine," Lightpaw promised as she scampered up the side of the petrified log.

Nightshade gave the young apprentice a soft look and turned around and returned to his duties.

"Oh Lightpaw are you ok?" a concerned mew came from the direction of the fresh prey pile.

Lightpaw looked over to see Sapphirepaw running toward her as fast as she could. The string around her neck which held her small sapphire was bumping around from her fast pace making the dark blue eyed blue-gray she-cat quite the sight. She was definitely a pretty she-cat, and quite frankly Lightpaw didn't blame Moonpaw for taking an interest in the young apprentice.

"Yah I'm fine, Moonpaw gave me a scare though," Lightpaw purred.

"But boy did Nightshade let Moonpaw have it, and he's normally so nice, especially with his kits in the nursery," Whitepaw remarked.

"I wonder how Dawnlight's kits are doing?" Lightpaw asked. She had always been fond of kits and planed on having some of her own.

Whitepaw looked at his sister, "isn't it rare for seer's to have kits?" he asked.

Lightpaw nodded, "we're allowed too, it's just rare for some reason."

"Well..."

"All cat's old enough to use their powers please gather beneath Whiterock," it was Snowstar calling a clan meeting.

"It bet it's about the new cat," Lightpaw mewed heading toward the large white rock in the center of camp.

"We have gathered here today to discuss an apprentice that has been born to ThunderClan," Snowstar said from her perch at the top of Whiterock.

"ThunderClan? I though we normally received cat's from the tribe?" A small brown tom said.

"Yes Brownpebble we normally do, but times have changed and our four sister clans have moved back to their original territory around the lake now that the land has recovered from the battle that took Violetleaf's life.

"And about 6 months ago a cat was born to the leader of ThunderClan, Mysticpaw is her name, and she was given two powers, telekinesis, and flying," Snowstar told them. With the news the whole clan fell silent until Snowstar spoke once more her voice quieter this time, "just like Violetleaf."

OoOoOoOoO

The last bit of the setting sun was casting shadows all across ThunderClan camp. An eerie stillness had taken over the camp since Mysticpaw and Squirrelflight had really started training. It was almost as if the clan was waiting for something, and that something was closer than they could have imagined.

Mysticpaw gave her tail the finishing lick and stretched ready to go to bed. There were three other apprentices already asleep in the den. All three of them were Squirrelflight's and Brambleclaw's kits, Lionpaw, Jaypaw, and Hollypaw were sleeping soundly. They were a couple moons older than Mysticpaw and were being mentored by, Spiderleg, Ashfur, and Whitepelt. Everyone had been surprised what Whitepelt had been chosen to mentor one of the kits. Whitepelt had proven herself as a good mentor though and the clan had been apprehensive about her.

Mysticpaw finally settled beside the golden colored Lionpaw, who could have been Firestar's twin. Just before Mysticpaw let herself be taken by her dreams a new scent was added to the mix. Duskpaw.

Mysticpaw raised her head; he was searching for a place to sleep. Mysticpaw scooted over just realizing that she was stretched across three sleeping spots and called to him. "Over here."

Duskpaw looked slightly surprised at the offer but didn't say anything as he settled down on Mysticpaw's right side. "Thanks," he muttered slightly embarrassed that he was sleeping so close to Mysticpaw. She twitched her whiskers in response before letting sleep engulf her.

If you didn't figure it out Whitepelt is an older Whitepaw from the books….yah not much to say today…
