"Shadowclan Retreat!!!" Cloudstar hissed. Goldenpaw wiggled away from a apprentice she had been fighting. Her clan mates were already dashing up the hill to safety.
She was about to follow them when she felt a ton of weight land on her. She hissed in fury as she turned to see a bright colored tom looking down at her.
Goldenpaw lashed out a paw as she scraped her claws over his muzzle. He screeched in pain, while stumbling off her. While that happened she jumped up and made a dash for the shadowclan camp.
She made it there without anymore distractions. Cloudstar has already called a clan meeting when she snuck threw the camp entrance. "Cats of Shadowclan! We are gathered here right now to acknowledge who made it threw this terrible moon!" Cloudstar yowled. " for that we will make three new warriors!!" Goldenpaw's heart lifted.
She looked around the camp and her eyes settled on the four apprentices. "Quarrelpaw, Crowpaw, and ravenpaw!" Goldenpaw's heart sunk at the sound of her three littermates becoming apprentices and not her. "Quarrelpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect this clan even at the cost of your life?" Cloudstar said while bounding down the rock. "I do." Quarrelpaw mewed shakily. "Then from this day forth you will be known as Quarreltail, The clan honors your bravery and wisdom." He bent and touched his muzzle to the newly named Quarreltail's head. In response Quarreltail licked his shoulder.
It went the same with the other two. Crowpaw became Croweyes, and Ravenpaw became Ravenclaw.
"You three will sit vigil tonight all together." Cloudstar finished. Then she flicked her tail in dismissal. The clan cats chanted their names. Goldenpaw looked to make sure no one was watching her than she slipped out without getting seen.
Outside of the thorn tunnel she headed for the stream that borders Thunderclan. Goldenpaw looked down at her reflection when she got there. She was a regular golden tabby with a white underbelly and white tail tip.
She heard something move in the bracken. She got into a crouch and stealthily moved closer to the noise. It rustled one more time, than out stepped a muscular tabby tom. She hissed and her fur stood up. Then she noticed it was Bracken from the barn. "What do you want!?!" Goldenpaw mewed, trying to make her fur lie flat. " Why are you out here all alone young one?" He said with curiousity in his voice. "Why would you want to know, you're…. you're just a stupid barn cat!!" She turned ready to stalk away when she heard a rumble coming from the sky. Goldenpaw crouched, eyes widened in fear. 'Did I upset starclan for saying that to that mangy feline?' She wondered. Than something went falling from the sky, landing in the stream, splashing water everywhere. She felt something tug at her fur like claws. They were dragging her towards the water that was blood red. "HELP!!!" She yowled as it slung her against a rock, trying to pull her to the river.
