Thanks for reading and reviewing I tried to fix as many mistakes in this chapter as I could but I'm sure I probably missed some. Also Starlight Cloud if you're reading this thanks for bringing my attention to my Stormfur/Skystorm mess up. It wasn't intended so I'm guessing that the name Stormfur popped into my head and I typed it down on accident. Anyway onto chapter 2.
Chap. 2
Skystorm woke up after what seemed like forever to Silverfire poking her
"Brackenwhisker is back from Mudfur's den" Silverfire says when she opens her eyes all the way
"What did Mudfur say?" She asks getting up to look at her son
"She gave me some herbs to take and told me to come back to take them every day. She thinks I may be getting whitecough" Brackenwhisker says looking down at the ground
"Well than it's a good thing she's treating it now" Skystorm says "with leaf-bare almost here we're going to need our best hunter." She adds licking him on the cheek. They all get up and walk out into the clearing in time to see Rippedstar jumping onto the highbranch
"Looks like he's about to call a clan meeting" Silverfire says "I wonder what it's for" she adds
"Rosekit is six moons old now, Rippedstar must be making her an apprentice" Brackenwhisker replies
"That's only half of it" Skystorm mumbles under her breath as they sit down. Brackenwhisker doesn't seem to hear her but Silverfire shoots her a confused glance. Skystorm opens her mouth to answer but gets cut off when Rippedstar speaks
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highbranch" he calls waiting for all cats to surround him. When the last cat has taken a spot he speaks again
"I'm calling this meeting for two reasons" he begins looking around "one reason is troublesome, one reason is happy." He adds his gaze resting on Skystorm "we will begin with the troublesome news, Skystorm will you please tell the rest of the clan what you have told me" he says and everyone watches her as she gets up and walks to stand beside the tree
"Today I was catching a vole near the Riverclan border and I smelled the scent of Shadowclan on our side of the border" she said watching as every cat became tense
"But what would be so important that Shadowclan has to pass half way through our territory to see Riverclan?" Ivyleaf asks confused
"I'm not sure but that's why I want every single cat to be on lookout for anything unusual" Rippedstar answers nodding for Skystorm to go sit back down. "Now onto a happier subject Rosekit is ready to become an apprentice" he says nodding to Rosekit.
"Rosekit" he says and Ivyleaf pushes her forward until she runs to the leader on her own "from this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be Rosepaw" he says and all of the apprentices start chanting her new name. When they stop chanting Rippedstar speaks again "I ask Starclan to watch over you and guide you until you find in your paws the strength and courage of a warrior" he says looking at the sky before setting his gaze on Silverfire.
Silverfire" he says and Silverfire steps forward looking slightly confused "you have shown the clan many times that you are a great and skilled warrior" he says and her eyes shine with pride "Thunderclan now asks you to prove yourself as a great mentor. I trust you to pass all you have learned to Rosepaw and help her become a warrior the clan can be proud of" he finishes.
"I won't let you or Thunderclan down Rippedstar" Silverfire says before touching noses with her new apprentice. Rippedstar jumps down and goes to sit in a patch of sun in front of his den while the rest of the clan goes to congratulate Rosepaw on her apprenticeship. Skystorm walks to sit next to him in the sun
"We better enjoy the warm sun while it's still here" Rippedstar says as she sits down
"Yes we should." She answers "Brackenwhisker seems to be getting a case of whitecough" she adds watching as Brackenwhisker goes into the warrior's den. Beside her Rippedstar sighs
"Already the first case of Whitecough?" He asks "we've barley just begun leaf-bare" he adds shaking his head
"Mudfur checked him today and confirmed it" Skystorm says laying down "she predicts he'll get over it soon though" she adds
"I have a feeling this will be a difficult leaf-bare" Rippedstar says also laying down watching his clan continue with their duties as usual
"I think we'll be ok, our clan is strong" she answers. Skystorm was hoping that what she had said could also help ease his mind of what she had told him about Shadowclan.
"Perhaps you're right Skystorm" he says licking the top of her head "I think we will do just fine" he adds getting up and walking into his den. Skystorm gets up and walks into the warriors den to curl up next to Brackenwhisker and continue her nap that had been interrupted
I know this was another really short chapter but I haven't had very much time to type anything yet. Chapter three and everything after it will hopefully be longer. Leave Reviews and all that good stuff and thanks for reading.
