This is another chapter of this epic story where Frostkit tries to find out who killed Goosewing...

Snowpelt led her kits out of the warriors den. They headed back towards the nursery. Dapplestar sprang toward them. "Apprentice and Warrior ceremony!", she mewed. Snowpelt dipped her head politely and wrapped her tail around her kits.

"We're going to another ceremony", she whispered. Frostkit and Gemkit squeaked with surprise and cuddled with Snowpelt.

A dark brown tabby tom approached them, narrowing his eyes slightly when he saw that Frostkit and Gemkit had blood stained on their fur.

"What did you do to them?", he growled to Snowpelt. Snowpelt looked at him with shimmering green eyes and mewed, "They happened to get some blood on them from Goosewing".

The cat settled a little and his expression changed from mad to surprised to delighted. "My kits!", he burst out. He licked Frostkit and Gemkit's ears.

"I'm Goldenheart", he meowed. Oh. Goldenheart, as in my father?

Gemkit looked at Goldenheart with hostility. "You betrayed us!", she snarled. Goldenheart twisted out of the way as Gemkit leaped at him.

Goldenheart looked confused.

"No I didn't!".

"Yes you did", Gemkit shot back.

"Gemkit, I think your talking about Mapleshade not Goldenheart", Snowpelt said, warmly. Gemkit looked embarrased and shrank beneath her pelt, trying to look as small as she could. "Come on let's go to the ceremony", Frostkit mewed, impatiently. Snowpelt and Goldenheart nodded and they headed toward High Rock.

"Rainkit you will be Rainpaw and your mentor will be Spotteddust. Blizzardkit you will be Blizzardpaw and your mentor will be Archsnow. Finchkit you will be Finchpaw and your mentor will be Bouncefern and Hailkit you will be Hailpaw and your mentor will be Owlwing".

"Starclan, do you have permission for me to make Rowanpaw and Bramblepaw warriors? Rowanpaw, do you promise to uphold our clan honor and fight for your clan even at the cost of your life?" Rowanpaw nodded. "Then Rowanpaw, you will be Rowanclaw".

"Bramblepaw, do you promise to uphold out clan honor and figh for your clan even at the cost of your life?" Bramblepaw unsheathed his claws and nodded. "Then Bramblepaw, you will be Bramblefur".

"Rainpaw! Blizzardpaw! Finchpaw! Hailpaw! Rowanclaw! Bramblefur!"

Frostkit crept out of camp. She was going to figure out who had killed Goosewing. Suddenly five shadows appeared and said, "Frosssstkit, you will die tomorrow". Frostkit shivered and kept on walking. Soon she saw a light grey she-cat with friendly blue eyes. Frostkit approached her, warily and mewed, "H-hi". The light grey she-cat twisted her head around and stared at Frostkit. She sniffed. "Well you would be good for taking. You have strong muscles, and very nice fur. And Riverclan does need more kits", she said to herself. The cat leaped at Frostkit, snatched her towards a small building, and tossed her towards the entrance. Frostkit landed with a thump and crawled to her feet.

Tired, she padded into the building.
