Suntalon: YAY! I got reviews! Thank you guys SO MUCH!

Chapter 14

Ivyclaw raced towards the medicine cat's den, it had been three days since Ivyclaw and Dovewing had figured out most of the prophecy, and now Ferncloud was having her kits.

Ivyclaw raced into the den and saw Jayfeather and Briarlight picking up some old looking herbs. Panting Ivyclaw mewed "Jayfeather, Ferncloud, kits, now, Hurry!" Jayfeather dropped the herbs, and beckoned for Briarlight to follow.

Ivyclaw watched them disappear into the Nursery, and she noticed Dustpelt pacing outside.

Jayfeather picked up some borage leaves, and ordered Briarlight to pick up some Marigold leaves. Then Jayfeather followed his nose, into the Nursery. Jayfeather could feel Ferncloud convulse, and a wet kit suddenly plopped out.

"Just three more Ferncloud come on!" Ferncloud heaved again, and two kits came, and then another. Jayfeather nosed a kit over to Briarlight, who instinctively knew what to do. Jayfeather could sense Daisy licking a kit and Ferncloud licking one. Jayfeather bent down his head and licked a small tom until he was all dry.

"What will you name them?" Jayfeather asked. Before Ferncloud could reply Dustpelt came barging in, knocking over Daisy, and pushing Briarlight out of the way. Jayfeather mewed to Dustpelt "You have two she-cats and two toms." Dustpelt began to purr and he asked "Have you thought of names for them yet?"

Ferncloud said "Well I have two names, but I think you should name the two toms." Dustpelt looked down at his kits and said "I think this dark brown tom with light green eyes Darkkit, and this little tom reminds me of Longtail, so Longkit." Ferncloud purred and said "Good Longkit and Darkkit. I think this little she-cat will be called Frostkit, and this one Leafkit, because it reminds me of Leafpool."

When Ferncloud said Leafkit Jayfeather couldn't help but turn away, even though he couldn't see the kit he knew it was her.

Jayfeather padded out of the nursery to leave the mates in peace. Jayfeather felt a twinge of jealousy; every cat seemed to have a mate except him. Jayfeather shook his head clear of the thoughts, he was a medicine cat, he couldn't fall in love.

Jayfeather mewed to Briarlight "I want you to go over the stock, then you can have the rest of the day off, I am going for a walk." Jayfeather could feel waves of curiosity coming off of Briarlight, but she just replied "Okay" and then Jayfeather padded away.

Lionblaze watched as Jayfeather walked out into the forest, the whole clan was happy about the kits, but Lionblaze felt sad. His kits were all grown up, well still apprentices, but grown.

Lionblaze Walked over and sat down next to Cinderheart and they began to share a mouse. Lionblaze suddenly felt happy again, at least he has Cinderheart.

Ivyclaw was still petrified with the thought of killing Lionblaze. Although Ivyclaw had been out on a hunting patrol she had only caught a mouse and a vole.

Ivyclaw dropped her catch and watched Cherrypaw and Molepaw grab some prey and drag it to the nursery where Ferncloud had just had her kits. Ivyclaw was snapped from her day dreams when Firestar called a meeting "Let all clan cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting."

Ivyclaw padded to sit next to Bumblestripe who let out a little purr as she sat down. "Today" Firestar began "I make two new warriors. Cherrypaw and Molepaw step forwards." Ivyclaw felt a surge of pride for her apprentice, she had taken Molepaw out on his final assignment a day ago.

Flashback

"Molepaw you hunt by the Shadowclan border and Cherrypaw you hunt near the Riverclan border." Ivyclaw followed her apprentice and soon found a kill of his, a mouse. Ivyclaw had followed Molepaw and she watched as he hunted a sparrow. He leapt very high for his size, and killed the bird with a swipe to the neck.

Her apprentice had caught three mice and a sparrow. "Good job, you'll be a warrior soon." Ivyclaw and Dovewing had in fact gone to Firestar that night and asked about their ceremony "Of Course" Firestar mewed.

End Flashback

"Molepaw do you promise to up hold the warrior code even if it costs you your life?"

Ivyclaw watched her apprentice take in a deep breath and mew "I do!" Firestar continued "Then from this moment on you will be known as Moleclaw!" "Moleclaw, Moleclaw, Moleclaw." Ivyclaw chanted with the rest of her clan.

"Cherrypaw do you promise to up hold the warrior code even if it costs you your life?" Dovewing held her breath as her apprentice replied "I do" "Then from this moment on you will be known as Cherryblossum." Dovewing purred and chanted "Cherryblossum, Moleclaw, Cherryblossum, Moleclaw!"

Jayfeather heard the names be called, and reluctantly he joined in the chanting "Cherryblossum, Moleclaw, Cherryblossum, Moleclaw!" as the chanting died down Firestar flicked his tail for Brambleclaw to come up. Jayfeather suddenly was interested as he heard the scrambling paws of the deputy. "Well!" Brambleclaw began, but he was cut short as a screech blasted though the clearing.

Lionblaze watched Brambleclaw step up to the Highledge. Suddenly Lionblaze saw Dovewing whirl around, and as did Lionblaze, when a screech erupted through the clearing. All cat jumped up in defense, ready to attack.

Lionblaze hissed, hackles raised, and was surprised to see Windclan cat come stumbling in, in fact it was Ashfoot the deputy. "You've got to help!" she rasped "Some clan has attacked, I don't know which one their scents are all you've got to help us!" at that Ashfoot collapsed.

Lionblaze watched Jayfeather rush over and have Briarlight help him drag her towards the medicine cat den. Lionblaze's attention was turned to Firestar as he talked "Okay I want Brambleclaw, Lionblaze, Bumblestripe, Brackenfur and Heatherpaw, Ivyclaw, Sandstorm, and Amberpaw to come with me. On back up patrol I want Thornclaw, Sorreltail, Dustpelt, Millie, Greystripe, and Blossomfall."

Lionblaze padded over to where his patrol was, and he noticed all three of his kits excited for battle. Lionblaze suppressed a purr of amusement, and then he heard a cat whisper his name Lionblaze saw no one and then the voice said this is the first battle that you must fight alone, but soon my friend Starclan will be with you.

Lionblaze raced through the forest, thinking over what the voice had said, and then it hit him, Lionblaze's blood ran cold, this was not a clan alive, but this was the first attack of the Dark Forest.
