Sorry about the wait, but I wanted reviews before I posted again. Five reviews per chapter starting now! I want a total of 15 before I post again!


Half a moon had passed since Shrewpaw, Silverpaw, and Lightpaw had been made apprentices. Leafpool was on her way to the Moonpool with Jayfeather. Littlecloud met up with them shortly after they left the ThunderClan camp.

"Leafpool, where have you been? In the last six moons, you have been here once. Are you a true medicine cat or not? Where were you, and what were you doing?" Littlecloud asked.

"Why should I tell you? You don't need to know! It's none of your business, and it's none of ShadowClan's business. Leave me alone." Hissed Leafpool, running ahead.

"Sorry Littlecloud. Leafpool's been a bit stressed. Silverpaw, Lightpaw, and Shrewpaw have been a pawful. Especially Shrewpaw. He took his sisters exploring at two and a quarter moons, then clawed his sister Lightpaw's eye badly when they were five moons. They became apprentices a quarter moon ago. Those kits have been nothing but trouble." Meowed Jayfeather.

"Who's their mother? Firestar didn't say when he announced their birth at the Gathering six moons ago." asked Littlecloud.

"She doesn't want the other Clans to know. It's a ThunderClan secret. I won't say." Jayfeather answered. They arrived at the Moonpool. Leafpool, Barkface, Kestrelclaw, Mothwing, and Willowtail were already there.

"Well? Are we going to share tongues with StarClan or not?" Leafpool asked impatiently when they arrived. Without waiting for a reply, she lapped up a few drops of water. The other medicine cats did the same thing, except Mothwing who curled up to sleep normally.

"Greetings Leafpool. I know one answer you seek. You must decide if your love for Ashfur is strong enough to stop being a medicine cat. You may still help Jayfeather and be with your family. Many cats take the path of a warrior. Jayfeather can handle being a medicine cat without you. He helped Lightpaw. StarClan approves either choice." Meowed Spottedleaf.

"Can Jayfeather handle being the only medicine cat? He is blind." Asked Leafpool.

"He can see in dreams, and he knows ailments and remedies by scent and feel. You will always be there to help. You may become a warrior if you wish." Answered Spottedleaf, disappearing. Leafpool woke up and hurried to wake Mothwing before the other medicine cats began to stir. Then she went to Jayfeather and prodded him with her paw until he woke up.

"Let's go home, Jayfeather. I must speak to Firestar." Meowed Leafpool.

"Why? What happened? Is the Clan in trouble?" asked Jayfeather.

"I'll tell you why on the way. I must speak to Firestar, Brambleclaw, and Ashfur. I guess you should be there too. This concerns you." Leafpool meowed quickly, picking up speed. Jayfeather kept up easily, so Leafpool moved even faster. Realizing that Leafpool wanted to get home as soon as possible, Jayfeather went even faster, increasing the pace some more. Leafpool happily followed.

"Firestar! I must speak with you!" called Leafpool when she stepped into camp. Firestar looked up, nodded, and signaled with his tail for Brambleclaw and Leafpool to follow him into his den.

"Go find Ashfur." Leafpool whispered to Jayfeather, "Then both of you come to Firestar's den. This concerns both of you." Jayfeather nodded, and Leafpool padded into Firestar's den.

"Well? What is it? What has StarClan told you?" asked Firestar.

"If you wait a minute, Jayfeather and Ashfur will be here. Then I'll explain." Answered Leafpool.

"Ashfur?" replied Firestar, sounding confused.

"Yes. This concerns him. He needs to be here." Leafpool meowed. Jayfeather and Ashfur came in. Leafpool motioned with her tail for Ashfur to sit next to her. Firestar's eyes narrowed.

"Does this concern the entire Clan? Or just Ashfur?" asked Firestar.

"In a way, the Clan will be affected. Mostly me, Ashfur, and Jayfeather." Answered Leafpool.

"What is it?" Firestar sighed.

"I want to become a warrior!"
