Chapter 2

"Greetings, Froststar," replied the ShadowClan leader ignoring Froststar's anger.

"What are you doing here in our territory?" Froststar growled, not even trying to block some of her anger which was unusual.

"I am planning to make Snakerocks part of our territory, Froststar," mewed the ShadowClan leader.

"Snakerocks is not your territory! It belongs to ThunderClan, not ShadowClan, Darkstar!" Froststar retorted.

"Well, ShadowClan is all starving, so you should lend us some territory. Those monsters on their Twoleg things are scaring off all the prey, prey is scarce, Froststar," growled Darkstar angrily.

"We will never give Snakerocks to you, Darkstar! It was never yours, it was always ThunderClan territory," snarled a voice behind Firekit, it was Eagletalon who spoke.

"And what are you going to do about it?" It was Icepelt. She was sitting with Jaywing, Leafpaw, and Littlepaw.

Murmurs of agreement came from the ThunderClan cats. Firekit and all the others were still lying in the den, Firekit and Graykit's pelts touching.

"We will fight at the cost of our lives for Snakerocks, all our warriors are healthy, surely they'll defeat you," sneered Darkstar. Several of the warriors glared at Darkstar. But, he didn't care.

"All our warriors are wide awake, how about your warriors, they still look sleepy, like they just woke up," this time it was the ShadowClan deputy, Sharpfang who spoke up," All our warriors are for attack, ThunderClan is for hunting."

Firekit did agree, but that didn't mean ThunderClan was any weaker than ShadowClan or any of the other clans. Firekit wanted to get up and speak, but, he knew that he couldn't walk yet, he was still a kit, the rest of the kits couldn't walk either. Firekit made it to standing up, but before he could open his jaw to speak, ShadowClan already started the fight.

It was Sharpfang who made the first move followed by Darkstar, then the other warriors. But Firekit's eyes were looking straight at Froststar.

The white she-cat with light blue paws was fighting with another cat who had golden fur.

"Firekit, look!" Firekit looked at where Graykit was motioning to," Eagletalon is fighting off Sharpfang!"

Firekit saw Sharpfang and Eagletalon clawing eachother and biting each other's neck, was it possible that ShadowClan would actually win? Firekit decided to ignore the terrible thought. Firekit glanced at Froststar who was fighting a dark tabby, the dark tabby tried to pounce on Froststar but failed as the white she-cat side-stepped to the left. Then, Froststar bit the dark tabby's neck, and it yowled in pain and fled the battle.

Firekit looked back at Eagletalon and Sharpfang. Sharpfang was using his fangs as an advantage biting Eagletalon, while Eagletalon was using his long claws as an advantage clawing at Sharpfang. Both of their pelts were soaking with blood, and one of Sharpfang's claws were ripped out, probably caught in Eagletalon's pelt. Then a she-cat came and clawed at Eagletalon's flank one more time, and he fled. Why would he flee? My father is a great warrior, I thought he would give his life for the clan, but he ran away like a coward! thought Firekit.

Then he realized most of the ThunderClan cats were all losing, ShadowClan won! How could ShadowClan win? Now what do we do? We have to give Snakerocks to ShadowClan? thought Firekit. As if reading his mind, Froststar spoke," Very well, Darkstar. Snakerocks is now yours. But we will always fight again for the territory!"

Sharpfang and Darkstar purred with satisfaction as Froststar decided to let ShadowClan own Snakerocks.

As ShadowClan left the sun already rose completely, it was afternoon. The battle sure did take long, and Froststar actually let them have Snakerocks?

A voice sounded, it was Froststar,"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under Highrock for a Clan meeting. Sandkit, Graykit, and Firekit sat together in their den listening to the meeting.

"Clearpaw, Crowpaw, Leopardpaw step up please," Froststar informed the three apprentices.

"I, Froststar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Clearpaw, Crowpaw, Leopardpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your lives?"

"I do," Leopardpaw mewed.

"I do," Clearpaw meowed excitedly.

"I do," Crowpaw copied.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name: Leopardpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Leopardclaw. StarClan honors your determination and enthusiasm and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name: Clearpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Clearfang. StarClan honors your spirit and loyalty and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name: Crowpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Crowflight. StarClan honors your honesty and fighting skills and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Leopardclaw! Leopardclaw! Clearfang! Clearfang! Crowflight! Crowflight!" shouted the cats beneath Highrock.

As the meeting ended, Firekit thought why couldn't he already be an apprentice already, it had better happen soon! I've been waiting since I met Spottedleaf in my dream! I should probably tell Graykit and Sandkit about Spottedleaf today…If only I could walk with my legs, instead of having Nutpelt carry me!

Firekit decided to try, he stumbled a bit but he was making his way to Sandkit and Graykit.

"Hey Firekit! You finally learned how to walk! Me and Sandkit learned just a minute ago!" It was Graykit's cheerful mew.

"Graykit, we didn't learn a minute ago, we learned an hour ago," Sandkit reminded Graykit. Sandkit acted more and more friendly to Graykit everyday. Firekit stumbled next to them and wondered where to start.

Should I really tell them about Spottedleaf? Should I tell them about everything? My talk with Spottedleaf at Sunningrocks? I wonder if they'll understand or at least remember that I was once Firepaw, Fireheart, and even Firestar, thought Firekit.

"Firekit! Firekit! Hello? Firekit?" It was Sandkit," Were you daydreaming?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah just thinking, I guess you could say daydreaming," Firekit mewed. "Sandkit, Graykit, have you ever thought about your past?"
