Chapter 5

"I'll miss you. You were the best mentor I could ever have. I cannot believe you're dead... Why did you have to go? Why? Why? Why? I'll, I'll never forget you. You were old, but still... You were the best mentor ever. Good bye Brokenclaw..." Velvetblaze cried. Echostar dipped her head at Brokenclaw. Lilynose was the only elder now. Only she wasn't going to bury her, Velvetblaze and Echostar would help her.

Dawnstream was shocked. She really was. He was old but he still had 2 or 3 years to go. He was a strong one. Velvetblaze, Echostar and Lilynose dragged Brokenclaw's limp body to the forest. The moon was high now and Flamestorm and she would have to sit silent vigil and guard the camp until dawn.
She nodded at Flamestorm and sat silent.

Dawnstream's eyes were red and tired. Nightfall had told her he brought their nests from the apprentices den and settled it into the warrior's den. Soon, after Briarpaw and Lightpaw became warriors, the den would need a little expanding. Dawnstream's nest was next to Nightfall's and Flamestorm's while his was behind Crowfoot.

The kits had just woken up and already were playing. Sweetkit wasn't playing with her brother's she'd rather talk to her mother and keep her company. Dawnstream and Flamestorm sleepily walked to their dens. Dawnstream heard Wildfur sort out the patrols. Nightfall wasn't going anywhere so he kept on sleeping beside Dawnstream. She loved his warm body beside her. She soon fell asleep.

"Dawnstream!" a dusty black and white kit shouted. Dawnstream looked at the kit. Was this kit from StarClan?
"Who are you, little one?"

"Little one, if I was alive I'd be older than your queens. So. I'm not really a little one. My name is Thrushkit."
Dawnpaw's ears straitened. "Thrushkit? Wasn't that Echostar's kit?"
Thrushkit nodded. "Indeed."
Dawnpaw was hoping for more than just an answer. Why did Thrushkit visit her?
"Why are you here? Do you have a message fore your mother?"
Thruskit shook his head. "No, I can visit her. I visit her most of the nights. I am here to talk to you. StarClan kits don't usually do this but since you heard about me, I came instead. Beware, another cat will come through you and your mate. You will have to choose one."
Dawnstream's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
Thrushkit faded away.

"Wait! Come back. I don't understand!"

Dawnstream woke up and realized Echostar had just called the clan. Flamestorm was still sleeping. "Wake up!" she hissed. Flamestorm opened his eyes and nodded. He and Nightfall padded out with Dawnstream following.

Flowerpaw was neatly groomed and her eyes were shining. She didn't care anymore of having to be a warrior later.

"Flowerpaw, do you promise to protect your clan even at the cost of your life?"
Flowerpaw nodded. "I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From now on your name will be Flowerstreak. StarClan honors your courage and skills. We welcome you as a full member of FireClan." Echostar bowed her head and Flowerstreak licked her shoulder quickly. She padded infront of her littermates.

"You may be warriors before me, but my ceremony is all about me! Hmph!" she skipped away in happiness.
Dawnstream's eyes flashed with anger. "I felt bad for her about the warrior thing. Now I take that sorrow back!" Nightfall nudged her.
"Don't you worry. She's just mad. She's trying to point out the good stuff to you, that's all. Now let's go hunting?"

Dawnstream sat up curling her tail. "Sure."
They both padded out and headed for twolegplace. Nightfall told her he knew a secret cave under the bushes. They would talk to each other there and sometimes take a nap. They had a nest there.
They climbed in the cave and cuddled. "I love you, Dawnstream. You have no idea, how much I do."

"I love you, too." They both fell asleep in the dark.

Hey, anyway, I decided I'm going to put a chapter 6 too. Some people begged for it. (yeah right) I just wanted to put it on, I already had it, so I didn't want to do it later or else that would show me being lazy! GRRRR! KK bye!
