Whitestar jumped on the highstone and all the cats where already there "there was almost a battle between oceanstar and lightningstar" he hissed to his clan "even though there litter mates they still fight like kits" a voice called foxpaw turned around to see deadheart "yes and i would like cinderpelt to take this over" he called as the ashed pelted she-cat bounded on the highstone "cats of stoneclan as you know i would not be around forever. So it is time i took a apprentice. I have choosen a cat who has shown courage and quick thinking. Your next medicine cat will be spottedpaw. Foxpaw saw her friends green eyes flash with excitment but saddness she then thought when spottedpaw was a kit she wanted to be a warrior " spottedpaw do you accept the post of apprentice to cinderpelt" whitestar mewed spottedpaw stared at cinderpelt for a heartbeat "i do" she mewed "then at half-moon you must travel to the moonstone to be accepted by starclan before the other medicine cats" cinderpelt yowled "the good wishes of all of stoneclan will go with you" whitestar mewed as he padded into his den followed by cinderpelt and lionheart. Tigerpaw bounded up to spottedpaw "hi" he mewed as Foxpaw and Blossompaw approached the two cats. Spottedpaw looked at Tigerpaw she nodded and padded over to Ravenkit who was watching with Redkit and Goldenkit she padded into the nursery after the kits. " HEY FOXPAW" cloudtail hissed as he padded over to her "i would like you,tigerpaw and blossompaw to come with me on a dawn patrol" he mewed "ok cloudtail" the three cats mewed
Foxpaw sprited over to the entrance of the camp when she saw the patrol waiting for her "sorry" she mewed cloutail padded over to her and layed his tail on her shoulder "its ok now come on brownfurs waiting" he mewed foxpaw raced after him. The dawn patrol reached the lightningclan border cloudtail sniffed the border "lightningstar is right look" he hissed as foxpaw saw prey at the border with tufts of fur in the prey. Brownfur's ears twitched "i hear yowling" he yowled as he bounded over to the yowling followd by cloudtail and foxpaw,tigerpaw and blossompaw. The patrol saw oceanstar and lightningstar fighting along with there clans. Lightingstar had oceanstar pinned to the ground he was about to slice her neck open with his sharp claws. Then he was stopped when iceclans deputy mudstripe pounced on lightningstar and bite his neck. Oceanstar noticed the patrol her eyes where a dull blue. Brownfur nodded and ran at the battling warriors along side with cloudtail then tigerpaw mewed "no matter what we will make this out alive" they nodded as they ran down the hill leading to the battling cats. Foxpaw pounced on a grey and black tom they restled until lightningstar knocked foxpaw of him "get up nightfur" he yowled as he was about to pounce on the ginger apprentice when a white tom pounced on him first it was cloudtail. Foxpaw turned around to find tigerpaw at the edge of the cliff fighting jetpaw. Foxpaw sprinted at jetpaw biting his neck when foxpaw felt a sharp pain in her back as she turned around to face the attacker it was bluepaw. Tigerpaw pounced on jetpaw he bite his neck and paw as the black tom yowled in ran at foxpaw but Foxpaw was quicker the ginger she-cat jumped over her and ran nearer the cliff. She stopped dead when she reached the edge but bluepaw wouldn't stop "NO STOP" foxpaw hissed but the siamese she-cat wouldn't. foxpaw ran at bluepaw but this time bluepaw pinned her down her eyes flared with anger. Blossompaw turned around to see the cliff about to fall because of the weight of bluepaw and foxpaw "GET AWAY" she yowled but was pinned down by a fluffy cream she-cat. It was to late all blossompaw saw was bluepaw looking over the cliff edge and a ginger paw hanging on to the cliff edge as Jetpaw pulled bluepaw away "retreat lightningclan retreat" lightningstar called and with that the lightningclan cats limped of then Brownfur limped over to cloudtail who was talking to oceanstar " my clan are greatfull for what you have done" she mewed. "it was nothing we" cloudtail mewed when Brownfur ran over to the cliff edge with blossompaw staring over the edge. Oceanstar sent her clan back to camp with a flick of her tail and cloudtail and oceanstar padded over to the cliff edge.
Foxpaws heart was beating fast as she hung from the cliff edge when she saw blossompaw holding her paw with her teeth."FOXPAW" cloudtail yowled with the help of oceanstar and blossompaw they pulled the frightened apprentice up. Then they cats where sat under a cliff above them and a huge rock fell. Brownfur grabbed foxpawby her scruff but her ear was caught underneath it. She yowled in pain "TIGERPAW" Brownfur yowled as the tabby bounded over to them. His dark blue eyes stared at foxpaw "is she" he stammered "GO GET CINDERPELT" cloudtail hissed but as he turned around a ash pelted she-cat was sprinting over to them at full speed with a her calico apprentice spottedpaw "what happened" she demanded quickly cloudtail exclaimed she orded spottedpaw to fetch some poppy seeds and some other apprentice nodded and bounded of
"will she be ok" cloudtail demanded cinderpelt nodded "we will take her back to camp until then its up to starclan". Brownfur and Cloudtail carried foxpaw back to camp blossompaw,tigerpaw and spottedpaw where walking with cinderpelt "how did you know we where in trouble" tigerpaw mewed "we didn't we where collecting some herbs when we scented stoneclan cats and we heard a yowl must have been foxpaw" spottedpaw mewed as she looked at cinderpelt she nodded. When the cats returned Whitestar and Lionheart bounded over to them when they saw a limp foxpaw " what happened" Lionheart yowled so tigerpaw exclaimed to the deputy. Onewhisker bounded over to them her eyes widened in fright "don't worry shes ok i will keep her in my den for a few moons and she should be ok" cinderpelt mewed Onewhisker helped brownfur and cloudtail carry her daughter into the medicine cats den.
It was a moon ago since the fight with lightningclan and iceclan when foxpaw got Goldenkit and ravenkit all got there apprentice names redpaw her mentor was firestripe goldenpaw and her mentor was greyfoot and ravenpaw his mentor was icefur. Tigerpaw and crowpaw padded into the medicine cats den when they saw foxpaw laying in a moss bed in the corner of the den. Her ear was all torn and her eye was scratched "hi" crowpaw mewed "hi crowpaw, tigerpaw" foxpaw mewed "you ok" tigerpaw meowed "yeah my ear is stinging" she mewed then cinderpelt padded into the medicine cats den "i see you have visitors foxpaw she mewed with amusment. Foxpaw nodded "im glad to have visitors than be ignored" she hissed cinderpelt nodded "i bet it is" she gave her some poppy seeds to ease the pain "alright you two let her rest" cinderpelt hissed as she chassed the cats out As foxpaw fell asleep she saw a creamed she-cat with a brown stripe going down her back and a ginger she-cat with brown splotches sat on a rock that looked like the highstone with fire behind them.
