Disclaimer: I own nothing. But Wildkit, Petalkit, and Cedarkit. There will be some swearing.
Wildkit: Yes. By me!
Me: Shaddup and get back into Thunderclan you liar!
Wildkit: But I'll be a 'paw'!
Me: And on with the story!
I sighed. Hollykit ran over to Petalkit and told her. Petalkit gave me a, 'really?' look and I shrugged. I licked Jaykit's ear and padded away to Cedarkit. "Okay. Nice job at helping me piss off Hollykit." I whispered. "What? All I did was scratch Lionblaze's ear." She whispered back stepping away. "Well first of all we're kits and Hollykit told me she wants to be a medicine cat. We can't let that happen. We already know she's gonna be a warrior. We might as well save Brightheart from that pain." I replied. Cedarkit nodded and padded into the medicine cat den to Lionkit. I padded back to Jaykit and meowed. "You should be a medicine cat." He jumped back. "Why? I want to be a warrior!" He hissed. "Well, you have great memory and if I ever get hurt you can save my life, like I saved you from falling that one time." I cooed. Jaykit blushed. "Okay. But, medicine cats can't have mates." He meowed sadly. "That's okay." I meowed. "I can fix that." Jaykit nodded,"Then I guess I'll be a medicine cat apprentice."
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet me under highrock!" Firestar yowled."We have 6 new aprentices to announce."
I raced out of the nursery with Lionkit and Petalkit at my tail behind them were Cedarkit and Hollykit with Jaykit at the back.
"Slow down!" Squirrelflight called but I didn't listen until I reach highrock when I did a brake check and Lionkit and Petalkit rammed into me.
Firestar chuckled. "Wildkit. Step forward. From this day on until you receive your warrior name you will be Wildpaw. Brightheart, you have been an honored member of Thunderclan, Wildpaw will be your apprentice."
I ran over to Brightheart and touched noses with her.
"Lionkit, you will be Lionpaw. Ashfur will be your mentor. Petalkit. You're Petalpaw and Sorreltail is your mentor. Hollykit is Hollypaw, Brakenfur is your mentor. Cedarkit, is Cedarpaw and Whitewing is your mentor. And finally Jaykit. You will be Jaypaw and Leafpool will be your mentor." Firestar announced.
They all touched noses with their mentors.
"Wildpaw! Lionpaw! Petalpaw! Hollypaw! Cedarpaw! Jaypaw! "
The clan cheered. Brightheart looked at me with her one green eye.
"So what are we doing?" I asked.
"Well we can either practice fighting with Lionpaw, Ashfur, Cedarpaw, and Whitewing. Hunt with Hollypaw, Brakenfur, Petalpaw, and Sorreltail. Or see the territory with Jaypaw and Leafpool." She responded.
"See the territory!" I chanted. Brightheart chuckled and nodded.
"Then c'mon." She purred. I ran up to Jaypaw. "I'm gonna see the territory with you!" I meowed.
He nodded and Leafpool and Brightheart exchanged glances before we left. They showed us around and I caught a squirrel. And Jaypaw learned some new herbs.
When we got back Hollypaw and Petalpaw were sharing a mouse, Lionpaw and Cedarpaw were practicing battle moves, and some warriors were sharing tounges.
"We'll need to make the warrior's den bigger." I overheard Brambleclaw say.
"Yes. We should. With six apprentices that will become warriors, we'll start working tomorrow." Firestar replied.
"Why not just make another den or a bigger camp." I muttered.
"What was that?" Sandstorm asked me.
"Uh. Well if you made another den or like dug out spots to make a bigger camp." I stuttered turning to them.
Firestar nodded. "That would be a great idea!" He purred. "Take that squirrel to the elders and get any prey from the fresh kill pile! You just gave me a great idea!"
I nodded and took the squirrel to the elders. "Mousefur. Longtail. I uh, caught a squirrel. Thought you might like it." I called.
"Finally. Some prey! I've been starving since dawn." Mousefur grumbled.
"Don't mind her. She's just being herself." Longtail reasurred me.
I nodded and placed the squirrel down. "Atleast it's a plump squirrel." Mousefur said.
"Well I'll be going." I said.
"Wait." Mousefur stopped me.
"Hm?"
"Your not like the other apprentices. Your not afraid of me like most apprentices are. Why is that?" I blinked.
"I don't know. But I should really be going."
With that I raced away from the elders den. "Cedarpaw! Petalpaw! Behind the warriors den now!" I meowed and ran behind the warriors den.
They raced after me.
"What is it? Why are we back here?" Cedarpaw pestered me.
"Bitch! Shut up! I think Mousefur might know our secret!" I snarled. Their eyes grew wide.
"What secret?" I heard a voice snarl. Petalpaw and Cedarpaw moved back towards me and revealed an angry Lionpaw and Hollypaw.
Their claws were unsheathed. I unsheathed my claws also and hissed.
"None of your buisness!" I snarled. "This has NOTHING to do with you!"
"If it affects the clan then yes it does!" Hollypaw countered.
My hackles raised and Hollypaw took a step towards me.
"Do it again. See what happens." I snarled. She took another step towards me and I leaped at her. I covered her mouth with my paw and turned to Petalpaw.
She nodded and barreled into Lionpaw, sending him crashing to the ground. Petalpaw leaped on top of him and covered his mouth with her paw.
Cedarpaw leaped over them and stood in front of the hiding spot.
" Now. I said that it was none of your fucking buisness. If you really want to know. Then you'll help me become leader and I'll help you with the future." I meowed.
Hollypaw mumbled something so I removed my paw.
"Why should we help you become leader? What if I want to become leader or Lionpaw does?" Hollypaw questioned
"That's not your destiny. Let's just say I know more than Starclan." I meowed.
Hollypaw and Lionpaw nodded. "Release them!" A voice meowed.
Cedarpaw was pinned to the ground by Mousepaw.
Cinderpaw stood right behind him. "Oh shit." I muttered. Cedarpaw whimpered.
"Then tell them to keep their noses out of my business." I snarled. "Let Cedarpaw go or it will be the last thing you do."
My bright blue eyes blazed like fire. Jaypaw padded over.
"What's going on here?" He asked.
"Jaypaw help!" Cedarpaw whimpered.
Mousepaw unsheathed his claws. He brought his paw to her face. Lionpaw squirrmed underneath Petalpaw. Mousepaw lifted his paw preparing to slash her face when Lionpaw leaped up and at Mousepaw. They rolled into the center of camp. Cedarpaw leaped up and we all got out to watch. Lionpaw easily overtook Mousepaw.
Lionpaw had him pinned and he spat,"You won't hurt her!" Cedarpaw blushed.
Brambleclaw leaped at them and picked Lionpaw off of Mousepaw. "My paw! My paw!" Mousepaw cried dangling his paw.
Jaypaw padded up and sniffed it. "Nothings wrong!" He muttered.
Petalpaw and I burst out laughing. Cedarpaw snickered. Mousepaw snarled and leaped up. He stalked to the apprentices den with Cinderpaw at his tail. "What was that about?" Brambleclaw demanded.
"Mousepaw was going to hurt Cedarpaw and Lionpaw stopped him. Simple." I replied calmly.
Brambleclaw nodded and padded away. "Thank you!" Lionpaw exclaimed when he had left.
"No worries. Just don't get on my bad side." I snarled.
He backed away a few steps. "This will be a fun few seasons." I muttered to myself.
That night I was walking into the apprentice den when I heard Cinderpaw whisper to Hollypaw, "We shouldn't trust her. We don't even know where she came from!" I smirked evilly and laid in the empty nest next to Cinderpaw.
"Hello." I said sweetly.
"What do you want?" She spat.
"I just wanted to sit with my friends." I snarled.
Cinderpaw shuffled away a bit. Cedarpaw fakely coughed at me. "Ahem!"
I bared my teeth at her and stood up. As I walked by Cinderpaw I brushed my tail on her face. I found another empty nest and laid down. I was between Honeypaw and Petalpaw. I sighed and closed my eyes. I drifted to sleep.
"Time to go to the gathering!" Firestar yowled. The clan trudged through the underbrush. When they reached the island I leaped over the log, not touching it at all. I heard gasps behind me. I leaped down and the gathering started soon.
Everybody was seated when we heard a yowl.
I turned to see a fluffy gray tom with dark gray stripes. "Graystripe!" Firestar yowled. He leaped over to him. A she-cat stood behind him.
After lots of explaining and greetings and news the gathering was over. Thunderclan was buzzing as we entered camp. "Graystripe! Yay! You're alive!" I heard cats say.
"Brambleclaw is the deputy now!"
My head pounded. I grabbed a squirrel and sat by the apprentices den, I took a small bite. Jaypaw padded up to me. "Wanna share?" I asked.
Jaypaw nodded and sat next to me. We ate in peace. It was wonderful. I purred.
