Chapter 7-
Cloverkit leaped up onto Graykit. "This is Featherclan territory! Leave filitly Mudclan Warriors!" Cloverkit yowled. They had moved into their new home in their new territory. Flamepaw had found this very large hole in the ground, possibly carved out by humans long ago. The hole was deep, and very hazarderus at the top if you are standing on the edge. The good thing about the hole is that there are many dens and the high walls block at the harsh winds. The nursery was the closest to the ground. Right across from the Nursery, which was a fairly large den with all the kits, was the Elders Den. There was a large Warrior Den that was not far above the Nursery. You had to climb up a path to get to the Warrior Den. That was the same for the Leader's Den. Right in front of the Leader's Den was a ledge where Dapplestar would hold ceremonies. The Medcine Cat's Den was between the Elder's Den and the Nursery. There were many other dens but too small for a large group of cats to stay. In honor for Flamepaw finding this land, he had earn his warrior name which is now Flamepelt.
The Clans had been here for at least two moons. Snowpaw, or Snowfall, had found the Moon Fall. Moon Fall was a cave right behind a waterfall. You have to drink the clear water to speak to Starclan. A group of Rainclan warriors had found a spot for Gatherings. It was on an island with a border of trees. Cloverkit had never been to either of these two new places. She hasn't been pass the camp walls since their arrival to the Lake.
"Never! This was ours to begin with! Attack Mudclan!" Graykit yowled. Half of the kits charged at Cloverkit and her half. They were sent into battle. Suddenly, Cloverkit spotted her father and yowled happily.
"Spiritheart!" All the kits loved Spiritheart. They all charged at him and leaped up onto him.
"Well, if you want to attack," Spiritheart leaped up into the air, sending the kits flying. He shook his fur shaking the kits off. "I'm sorry kits, but I must be going."
"But why!" The kits whined.
"We have to get ready for the attack." It was true that there was a battle going to happen tonight. Brindleface has lost her kits, Shadowkit, Bluekit, Whitekit, and Snowkit and Featherclan has followed the scent into Mudclan's territory. Dapplestar has confronted Frogstar but he said he didn't have any of their filthy kits. Featherclan found out the truth and is planning to bring back the kits.
"We want to come!" Maplekit meowed.
"You are way too small to fight and besides, you mother won't let you." Spiritheart turned and walked over to the leader's den.
"That stinks! We always go hiding in the nursery while the big cats fight!" Cloverkit snuck away and out of camp. She climbed over some rocks and hid in the cracks. A group of cats passed by without her. It was a group of apprentices. Suddenly, a cat landed next to her in her hiding spot. "Dapplekit!"
"What? I know what you are up to." Dapplekit meowed, a look of concern on her face.
"I was just," Cloverkit searched for an excuse. She came up with none and ended up telling the truth. "Okay, so you got me! I am going to go get the kits!" Cloverkit puffed out of her chest.
"But how?"
"Easy. I sneak in the camp and find the kits. I'll lead them out of camp secretly and bring them back to Brindleface. If all goes wrong, I will be able to be saved by Spiritheart and his paltrol."
"Okay, sounds easy enough. Let's head out!" Dapplekit led the way out and deeper into Featherclan's territory. Cloverkit ran quickly beside her friend, sometimes slowing down for her. The sun was quickly setting when Dapplekit and Cloverkit came to the river that separated Mudclan and Featherclan. Suddenly, two cats jumped the river onto Featherclan's territory. It was Mudstep and another warrior who Cloverkit didn't recognize.
"Mudstep!" Dapplekit purred.
"Oh we can get so much out of these two kits!" The two warriors circled the kits. Cloverkit stood up with Dapplekit. "That is Featherclan's most favorite kittypet's daughter! Goose! My goosey goose."
At that moment, Cloverkit had enough of the mocking. She leapt at Mudstep who flung Cloverkit near the edge of the water. The second warrior walked over to Cloverkit, about to push her in the turning waves. The water moved fast and will take her out to the middle of the lake.
"Shadowleaf! Save her for another time! Wait until they come. We can get so much more." Mudstep laughed.
Shadowleaf looked at the deputy. Cloverkit seized her chance and leaped up. She stunned the warrior who stumbled back. Cloverkit leapt out of the way. Suddenly, she saw a silver flash that knocked the warrior to the ground. There were flashes of cats. Suddenly, Cloverkit saw the warriors fighting. Cloverkit ran over to Dapplekit and they found a bridge used by two legs to cross over the river. They scurried across it and headed towards the lake. Suddenly, Cloverkit heard the meowing of kits. Quickly, she crept towards the meowing bunch.
Cloverkit had found Brindleface's kits. She quietly lead the young kits across the bridge and back into their territory. Cloverkit and Dapplekit yowled together and Spiritheart looked over at the six kits. "Retreat, Featherclan!" The cats leaped across the river and ran back into the forest. Only five stopped. Four scooped up Brindleface's kits and hurried back to camp. The fifth cat was Spiritheart. "What were you thinking! Going to another territory for a warrior's job? Those cats have been getting on me because of the whole kittypet thing! They would have kidnapped you!" Spirthear scolded the kits as the lowered themselves to the ground.
"But, we wanted to be apprentices!"
"We follow a warrior code!"
"But, I didn't want to be teased anymore or," Cloverkit was quickly shushed.
"Back to camp! Both of you!" Spiritheart followed the sulking kits back to camp. Cloverkt felt as if her father would not like her anymore and she was further away from becoming an apprentice. At that moment, she just wanted to curl up and never get up. Never.
But she kept on moving, keeping match with Dapplekit.
