Chapter 7:

Blossompetal: Hey Spottedleaf! You're back!

Spottedleaf: Hi!, how was Mosskit?

Blossompetal: She left when I pointed out she was half RiverClan...

Spottedleaf: Oh.

Blossompetal: Just read.

Blossompaw woke up to find chattering outside. She padded out to find cats talking about the gathering the night before.

"WindClan have no reason to accuse us of stealing prey!" Mysticgaze yowled.

"We should battle at once!" Foxclaw agreed.

"There will be a battle at once!" Spiderstar announced.

"I shall take the apprentices and their mentors, Kinkfur Sagewhisker can come too. The backup patrol will have Lilybloom, Lightbounce, Tigerstripe, Weedfeather, Splashfur, Heatherpelt, Cherryfire and Littlesong. You will go around the long way." Spiderstar also added a tiny bit after.

"Clan dismissed." And leapt off Highrock to gather his patrol.

Blossompaw bounded up with Rosepaw on her heels. Once she got there Blossompaw went to go stand by Jaysong, who pushed her pelt onto Blossompaw's encouragingly. But Blossompaw still felt nervous. Then Spiderstar said it was time to go. Blossompaw ran behind Jaysong and they soon reached the border. Spiderstar led the way to their camp and yowled the battle signal. Blossompaw leapt onto Fallowpaw, a new apprentice and started clawing her back.

"Lilypaw!" Fallowpaw cried and soon a white apprentice was coming.

Front claws still in Fallowpaw, she swung her back legs out to claw Lilypaw's face. Lilypaw yowled in terror and ran away. Then she returned. This time she swung her back legs out and gripped her back claws into Lilypaw's face. Firm grip, she swung her around and threw her on the ground. Lilypaw got up and ran as fast as she could. Still gripped on Fallowpaw, she swung her back legs in and jumped up to tear meat, skin and fur out. Fallowpaw shook Blossompaw off and ran. Blossompaw saw Rosepaw being attacked by Prickleface. With a yowl of fury she leapt onto Prickleface and clawed him. He whimpered and ran off. Then Swiftstar called retreat. Spiderstar left WindClan's camp with a triumphant yowl. Once they got back to camp Spiderstar called a Clan meeting.

"I, Spiderstar, leader of ThunderClan, call down my warrior ancestors to look down on these two apprentices. Tabbypaw and Fernpaw had trained hard to learn your code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Tabbypaw, Fernpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, do defend the Clan with the cost of your life?"

"I do." Tabbypaw vowed.

"I do." Fernpaw echoed.

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names. Tabbypaw, from this moment you shall be known as Tabbypelt. StarClan honors your braveness and forgivingness, and we welcome you was a full warrior of ThunderClan." Spiderstar turned his gaze to Fernpaw then continued.

"Fernpaw, from this moment you shall be known as Fernwing. StarClan honors you faith and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

The Clan cheered,

"Tabbypelt! Fernwing! Tabbypelt! Fernwing!"

"In tradition of our ancestors, Tabbypelt and Fernwing shall keep a silent vigil until dawn." He took a deep breath and continued.

"Clan dismissed." And retreated to his den.
