I know I haven't updated in a while sorry I've been busy lately.
Breezefeather
The gathering was in a few nights and the clan was buzzing with excitement. Owlstar was now in the nursery expecting more kits and soon Mossnose's kits, Hawk-kit and Ivykit would be apprenticed. Bumbleheart sat next to Breezefeather and his litter mates while across the clearing Lilykit, Stormkit, and Featherkit were playing with Golderfur's kit, Aspenkit.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join me beneath the Meeting Stump for a clan meeting. Today we'll announce two new warriors, Larkpaw and Mousepaw please come forward. Grasstail do you think Larkpaw is ready?"
"Yes Owlstar she is."
"Thank you now Runningwillow how about Mousepaw?"
"He is ready."
"Then from this moment on Larkpaw you'll be known as Larkclaw. StarClan honors your fighting skill and kindness. Mousepaw from this moment on you'll be known as Mousetail. StarClan honors your strength and bravery. Now Hawk-kit and Ivykit please come forward. Each of you have reached the age of six moons and it's time that you're apprenticed. Do you promise to uphold and protect the warrior code even at the cost of your life?"
"I do", the kits said at the same time.
"Then from this moment on until you become warriors I give you your names, Ivykit from this moment on you'll be known as Ivypaw. Barktail will be your mentor. Dimstorm taught you everything you know and I expect you'll teach Ivypaw the same. Hawk-kit you'll be known as Hawkpaw. Your mento will be Sandwing. Her mentor, Berryfrost, has taught her well and I believe she will pass on these skills to you. The meeting is now over!"
"Aww I wish I got one of them." Breezefeather chuckled at her brother's remark.
"Don't worry Darkpelt Lilykit, Featherkit, and Stormkit will be old enough soon. You can mentor one of them."
"Yah I guess well I'll see you later"
"Where are you going?"
"Oh, um I'm going hunting with Larkclaw. I kind of promised her to hunting with her later. And well now is later." Breezefeather nodded her head.
"Ok then see you later."
Maplewing
It had been two days after ShadowClan was taken over. Yellowflower, previously known as Yellowstar, had given her nine lives back to StarClan and was now in the elders den. Maplewing and Marshclaw had avoided each other for obvious reasons. The mottled she-cat had seen the dampened spirits of the newest members of ThunderClan. Maplewing saw the brown tabby tom jump onto the Leader's branch and she guessed that he was going to call a clan meeting.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join me beneath the leader's branch for a clan meeting. I've seen that you're sad, but have an idea. In the next few days after the gathering, we will have a competition. This competition will have three categories; hunting, fighting, and tracking. Also it has come to my attention that three kits are to be apprenticed. Isn't that right Yellowflower?" His lip curled when he said her name. The old dark grey she-cat glared at him and looked like she would argue but, she didn't.
"Yes Oakstar the kits are Morningblaze's."
"Ok then um Morningblaze's come forward. If you don't mind me asking what are your names?" The biggest kit stepped up. She was a cream tabby cat with blue eyes.
"My name is Morningkit and this is my brother, Snowkit and my sister, Sunkit." The she-cat pointed to a smaller white tom and a tan she-cat.
"Ok thank you now Sunkit, Morningkit, and Snowkit please come forward. Sunkit from this moment on until you become a warrior I give you your name, Sunpaw. Your mentor will be…him over there." Oakstar pointed to Marshclaw.
"Me", he questioned.
"Yes you um…"
"Marshclaw."
"Yes you, Marshclaw. Snowkit you'll be known as Snowpaw. Your mentor will be her over there, next to um…Marshclaw."
"For your information my name is Cinderflame and I think you should get around to knowing everyone's names. Also I can't I expecting kits soon so I can't mentor Snowpaw."
"Well that's a lot of sass for a warrior but, your right I will. I guess Snowpaw's mentor will have to be one of my own warriors. Willowsong you shall mentor Snowpaw. Now for Morningkit from this moment on you'll be Morningpaw and your mentor will be that lucky cat right there." He pointed to a spotted she-cat near the Leader's branch
"Firstly my name is Spottedtail and secondly I already have an apprentice. How about you choose Icestorm right over here to be a mentor."
"Ok then Icestorm, Morningpaw will be your apprentice then. Clan dismissed." The three new apprentices seemed delightful as the headed to the apprentice's den. Maplewing sat down and rested for the rest of the day.
Marshclaw
The tom stepped back in surprise when Oakstar pointed to him.
"Marshclaw."
"Yes you, Marshclaw. Snowkit you'll be known as Snowpaw. Your mentor will be her over there, next to um…Marshclaw." Marshclaw saw his mate scowl.
"For your information my name is Cinderflame and I think you should get around to knowing everyone's names. Also I can't I expecting kits soon so I can't mentor Snowpaw."
"Well that's a lot of sass for a warrior but, your right I will. I guess Snowpaw's mentor will have to be one of my own warriors. Willowsong you shall mentor Snowpaw. Now for Morningkit from this moment on you'll be Morningpaw and your mentor will be that lucky cat right there." He pointed to a spotted she-cat near the Leader's branch
"Firstly my name is Spottedtail and secondly I already have an apprentice. How about you choose Icestorm right over here to be a mentor."
"Ok then Icestorm, Morningpaw will be your apprentice then. Clan dismissed." Marshclaw watched as the three new apprentices bounded over to the apprentice's den. He saw his clan mates stare at Cinderflame in happiness.
"You're having kits? Why that's wonderful! Whose are they?" Cinderflame's mother, Darkwhisper, congratulated her. Marshclaw saw a longing in her eyes and he understood. She missed her father, Mossflight, Yellowflower's brother. Marshclaw had joined his mate and the stood side by side.
"Well their Marshclaw's kits." More friendly comments came from all the cats around. Nightpelt, his father, and Darkrose, his mother, had come to the front of the small crowd.
"My son I'm happy that you are having kits soon and I hope for the best for the both of you."
"Thank you mother. Now I think we should have Cinderflame rest for a bit. What do you think?"
"I'm ok with it", was all she said as the settled down for the rest of the day.
Dewfur
"Let all cats old enough to swim join me beneath the rain rock for a clan meeting. Today we'll announce two new warriors and three new apprentices. Mouse and Lily please come forward. I, Ash, leader of our small group of loners, call upon your warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warriors in their turn. Mouse and Lily, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do", they both said at the same time.
"You are both now full members of our group. Now Reed, Hazel, and Rose please come forth. You are old enough to become apprentices and train in our ways. Rose, Trout will mentor you. Hazel, Night will be your mentor. Finally Reed, Cloud will mentor you. Now Frost will organize patrols."
"Hey Dewfur." The golden eyed tom turned to face Lily. In the sun light her white and tortishell fur glimmered.
"Hey how are you?"
"Oh, I'm good how about you?" , then she
"I'm good, sorry though I can't stay long. I was about to go hunting with Sharp."
"Oh, ok see you later I guess." The new warrior looked disappointed and bounded away.
"Ready Dewfur?"
"Yah I guess where should we go?"
"I have a place to show you come on." They ran through the golden fields dotted with green trees. Finally they reached an area with willows circling something.
"Ok all I see are willows everywhere. Sooo what did you want to show me?" Sharp smiled.
"Follow me", she then walked through the long leaves. The sun had begun to sink giving off a fiery glow. Carefully he followed behind the she-cat. When he came through the other side he saw a small pond with lily pads and the bird's songs began to die away. Soon the moon glowed above and now fireflies shined all around. Together they sat under the beautiful sky with the stars glistening from above.
"It's so…perfect tonight. I love it. I-I love you Dewfur." The tom gazed down at Sharp.
"Sharp I love you to. Do you want to be my mate?"
"Y-Yes I do I would love that Dewfur." Then under the stars they rested with their perfect moment but, they were not alone.
So what do you think? It's not the greatest story and I'm no fan of my own writing. Anyway I hope you like it. Sorry for any spelling mistakes and please review.
