Here is the updated version of chapter 5
I only added on to the ending of the chapter and added on to one of the sentences a tad bit, like one word.
as usual I do not own warriors but everything else is mine
The world was a dark blue almost black. Dim starlight washed over the forest full of shadows. The forest was dark, still, and deadly quiet.
It almost seemed like the forest was dying. Dark spots of dried blood, as well as fresh crimson speaks of blood were littered all over the leafy and pine filled forest floor. There were a feint flashing image of limp bloody bodies splayed out all over the forest floor.
"Greykit, wake up," a voice hissed in his ear.
Opening his blue eyes he saw Runningkit leaning over him, her green eyes filled with excitement even her white fur was bushed out in excitement. Behind her Frostkit was grooming his pelt, clearly calmer than his sister was.
"Runningkit, did you have to wake me up?" He asked slowly rising to his paws.
"Yes!" She meowed.
After a few moments he realized what she was so excited about. They were becoming apprentices finally. Also she had woken everyone up but his brother, Blackkit.
"I wonder who our mentor's will be?" Runningkit meowed tilting her head at Greykit before turning to her brother.
"I'm sorry to tell you Runningkit, but I only know who my mentor is because I want to be a medicine cat and also because Icythorn made it clear I was going to be her apprentice.. Maybe our mother knows or Shadowstorm knows because after you woke them up, they went to go talk to Pepperstar about something.." Frostkit meowed pausing from grooming his thick pelt.
"Greykit any guesses?" She meowed turning back to him.
"Maybe one of us is getting Pepperstar as a mentor.." Meowed a sleepy voice from behind him.
Turning he saw that his brother was blinking the sleep out of his eyes before stretching. Out of the four of them he looked the least ready to become an apprentice. He still had plenty of kitten fluff and he was still much smaller than them, but it was clear he would become an apprentice whether he was still small or not. As well they clan did not have a choice, because if they said no to him becoming an apprentice; then they'd have to deal with four six moon old kits who all were ready and wanted to become apprentices together.
"What it could be a possibility that one of us gets to be his apprentice.. After all he now can take another since Robinsong became a warrior a little over a moon ago.. Even so chances are we are most likely going to end up as an apprentice of some warrior in this clan who doesn't already have an apprentice.." Blackkit meowed.
It was almost sunhigh and the clan seemed to be busy as ever. Pinestorm had yet to send out the next patrols and was staring at the meeting rock. After a little while Pepperstar leaped onto the rock.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the leader's rock for a clan meeting!" Pepperstar called to the clan.
Runningkit was still full of energy as she had been when she woke him up, but her fur was now smoother. Beside him his brother stared past Pepperstar and was looking into the trees, while Frostkit sat calmly between Blackkit and Runningkit. He himself couldn't wait till he became an apprentice but tried his best to remain calm.
"We are gathered here to name four kits into apprentices. Frostkit step forward." Pepperstar meowed.
Calmly Frostkit walked forward and looked up at Pepperstar. Greykit could help but notice Frostkit looked like he was trembling with energy or something of that nature. Pepperstar blinked before continuing on.
"Frostkit has chosen the path of a becoming a medicine cat and Icythorn is ready to take you on as her apprentice.. So from this day on you shall be known as Frostpaw till you receive your full medicine cat name." Pepperstar meowed.
Then Frostpaw and Icythorn touched noses. After that the ceremony continued on with Runningkit getting Bluefoot, and me getting Rockpelt. Finally it was my brother's turn to become an apprentice.
"Blackkit step forward," Blackkit padded till he was in front of Pepperstar, "From this day forward till you receive your warrior name you shall be known as Blackpaw, and you shall be my apprentice" Pepperstar meowed.
Just as Blackpaw was about to touch noses with Pepperstar, the majority of the clan interrupted in disbelief. Not because Blackpaw was now an apprentice because of his small size, it was for another reason that Greypaw didn't expect. It was because Pepperstar was taking another apprentice.
"For StarClan's sake silence! I am your leader and my word is law! Blackpaw is my apprentice, and there is nothing you can do to change my mind! If you believe I shouldn't have another apprentice because I am older than the elders you can go talk to Skystar of SmokeClan who is older than me and has another apprentice." Pepperstar hissed standing tall over Blackpaw and glaring at the cats who clearly the ones who believed Pepperstar shouldn't have another apprentice.
The whole Clan went silent and stared at their leader. Blackpaw was trembling in fear beneath Pepperstar. After a few heartbeats of clanmates looking at each other they glared right back at Pepperstar.
"Pepperstar it is not that your old really, but is this is not the best time for you to take another apprentice.. Rosestar is way worse than Echostar.. And Rosestar is doing a lot of the same things as Echostar as well as much more.. If that kit gets a mentor it really should be someone else.. Anyways isn't he a bit small to even become a apprentice?" Rasped Sweetsky fluffing out her matted white fur.
"What are you getting at?" Pepperstar meowed tilting his head.
"That kit is way too small to even be apprentice.. He'd be the first target in battle because of his small size" Sweetsky rasped staring Pepperstar in the eyes.
"And to have him not become an apprentice with his brother would just be cruel" Pepperstar flashed back at the elder.
"Still, he's small as a three moon old kit! There is no way he will survive a moon as an apprentice seeing how small he is!" Sweetsky snapped.
"Why does my size matter! And I know I'm not that small! What kind of Clan is against there own Clanmates! Well, what is wrong with me becoming an apprentice just because I'm small for my age?" Blackpaw hissed suddenly looking like he was one the verge of tears and lashing out in anger.
"Enough of this! He is becoming an apprentice today, and if you have a problem with me being his mentor you can talk to me in private, I'm tired of all this fighting and this last thing we need is the clan to be similar to the way it was when I was a kit through my early leadership or start to turn into StoneClan which would be worse seeing how they are starting to be considered rouges.." Pepperstar meowed before lean down and having Blackpaw touch noses with him to complete the ceremony that had been previously interrupted.
Only time could tell if Pepperstar's decision was the right one. Then again only time could tell of what both StarClan and StoneClan had instore for all of them. Soon nothing would be the same as how it had been for moons, soon it may look similar of how it had been during the time of NightClan and SmokeClan's war; but worse since all of the clans are going to get involved in one way or another.
Soon the true plot will begin, well you have to wait till gathering for it to begin, but were getting closer, well no the half moon is were the true plot begins prophecy wise, but the gathering is were we'll meet one of the antagonist and the actual war will become official
Feel free to review
also hopefully soon I'll start getting more chapters done quicker
