Chapter 10:
Blossompetal: Thank you Stuck in a mirror and Suntalon for reviewing! You guys rock!
Spottedleaf: Whatever.
Blossomleaf: Just read.
Blossomleaf couldnt believe it. Attacking ShadowClan was not a good idea. Blissfur and Bloomsong had been made warriors before. But she was snapped out of her thoughts when Featherstar called a meeting. It was probably Flowerkit and Petalkit's apprentice ceremonies. Moons earlier, Rosepelt had given birth to two of Littlesong's kits.
"I would like to name the battle patrols for when we attack ShadowClan."
"When will we attack?" Blissfur called out.
"The day after the Gathering, since we couldnt attack at dawn today." Featherstar replied.
"Isn't that breaking the warrior code?" Blossomleaf gasped.
"No, the warrior code says the truce is on the day and night of the Gathering." Featherstar retorted.
"So who are in the battle patrols?" Lilybloom asked.
"Kinkfur, Sagewhisker, Slimefoot and her sisters, Blossomleaf and Stormclaw, me, Blissfur, Bloomsong, Littlesong, Foxclaw, Spottedclaw and Mysticgaze." Featherstar decided.
"I would also like to announce two new apprentices." Featherstar announced.
"Us?" Petalkit cried, looking at her sister.
"Yes, you." Featherstar retorted with amusement.
Petalkit and Flowerkit stepped fowards. Petalkit was trembling with excitement. When they were close enough Featherstar began. Blossomleaf couldn't help but notice Petalkit's reddish pelt, and she couldn't help but feel happy when she noticed Petalkit and Rosepelt's identical fur. Flowerkit has the reddish pelt too, but she has tabby markings.
"Petalkit, from this moment until you recieve your warrior name, you shall be known as Petalpaw." Petalpaw's eyes shone at her new name.
"StarClan, I ask that you guide this new apprentice, set her paws on the path that she needs to follow." Featherstar looked up at the sky.
"Blissfur." Blissfur gasped when her name was called.
"Blossomleaf was your mentor. I expect you to pass on all that she taught you." Blissfur padded over to greet her new apprentice, then led her to the edge of the circle.
"Flowerkit." Flowerkit bounded up to Featherstar.
"From this moment until you recieve your warrior name, you shall be known as Flowerpaw." Flowerpaw shivered as her new name was anounced.
"StarClan, I ask for you to help this young apprentice to become a warrior." Flowerpaw shivered again at the thought of the starry cats watching her.
"Bloomsong." The brown warrior didn't look suprised.
"You shall mentor to Flowerpaw. Foxclaw was your mentor, and your father, and I expect you to teach your apprentice what He taught you." Flowerpaw shivered when Bloomsong padded up to greet her apprentice.
"If you want to be an apprentice, you have to stop shivering!" Bloomsong exclaimed with a twitch of her whiskers.
The Clan burst into mrrrows of laughter.
"I also must decide who shall go to the Gathering." Featherstar muttered to herself.
"Who are going?" Petalpaw cried.
"Apprentices, mentors. Every young warrior.
By that I mean the warriors made at least 10 moons ago." Featherstar explained.
Blossomleaf couldn't believe it. She was going to the Gathering! She couldn't help but notice how Stormclaw was always padding after Blissfur all the time. She also felt suspicious how Featherstar chose who was going to the Gathering a day before the Gathering. Blossomleaf was snapped out of her thoughts when a battle yowl sounded. Blossomleaf grabbed Petalpaw who was nearest to Blossomleaf and herded her into the nursery, Flowerpaw following. She ran out to face Ivypaw.
"Ivypaw?" Blossomleaf stammered.
"Ivyfall you mouse-brain!" She snapped back.
Ivyfall then leapt onto her and clawed her. Blossomleaf saw Rosepelt kick Ivyfall off her. Softwing leapt onto her but Rosepelt rolled over, squishing her. Softwing screamed and ran to attack Fernwing. Toadspring jumped onto her then murmured in her ear,
"Meet me the night after the Gathering at FourTrees." And ran off to help his Clanmate.
"ShadowClan! Retreat!" And Hawkstar ran away, his Clanmates on his heels.
Fernwing was lying in the middle of the clearing, moaning in pain. Silverfern ran up to her and carried her to the medicine den. Tabbypelt looked at his sister, horrified. Featherstar was splayed out by the medicine den. Blossomleaf guessed she was losing a life. Ivyfall was still pinned down by her sisters, Bloomsong and Blissfur. Blissfur was murmuring desperatley to her sister, while Ivyfall thrashed about, yowling. Blossomleaf padded over to the sisters and put her paw on Blissfur's. Blissfur nodded and let go. Ivyfall got up and ran out of camp, hissing. Blossomleaf herded them to the warriors den, settled them down and padded to her nest and lay down.
Poor Blissfur and Bloomsong... Review for them please!
