It has been two days moon since the Gathering and Pebbleheart and her other kits had came and checked on the three. Breezeheart had decided to stay with her, Thorntail and Firepaw.
"We can move him now, but gently." Thorntail told her. Snowstar and Breezeheart carried Firepaw, while Thorntail had his herbs.
Once they got to camp, the noticed that most of the clan was surrounding the Nursery Entrance.
"What is going on?" Thorntail asked, running up to the cats.
"Crowscar's kitting!" Mewed Brackenpaw.
"Put Firepaw in my den and stay with him. I got Crowscar to deal with." Thorntail ordered.
"I'll stay with him," Growled Pebbleheart. He went over to Thorntail's Den with Firepaw in his jaws. Snowstar went to the Nursery entrance and found that Crowscar had three kits, one tom-kit and two she-kits.
"Their perfect!" Purred Crowscar.
"Of course," Meowed Crowscar's mate and one of the former kittypets, Tawnycloud.
"Let's go on and name them." Mewed Crowscar. Snowstar and Thorntail padded back a few pawsteps to give the mates some time together.
They decided on naming the dark gray tom, Darkkit. The silver tabby is Fernkit and the pale brown tabby she-kit is Acornkit.
"It's good to see the clan growing. New kits are always good sign, but not when most of her kitting I wasn't there, and that the tom seems so weak." Thorntail commented to Snowstar.
"He'll grow strong like his sisters, you'll see." Meowed Snowstar and went off to the Medicine Den where Pebbleheart was waiting for her.
Three moons has passed since Crowscar's kitting and Snowstar was waiting until her kits and Mistcloud's and their mentors came back. Snowstar has been expecting another of her's and Pebbleheart's kits, so she had to stay in camp. It was kinda boring, not being able to do anything, but Crowscar's kits kept her busy while Crowscar was out with her mate.
Tawnycloud hared to the entrance with his apprentice at his side. The other mentors came back to camp with their apprentices with them.
"Riverpaw did well, I think they are more than ready to become warriors." Pebbleheart quietly announced.
"I will make a ceremony now then." Snowstar hopped on top of Highrock. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around for a clan meeting!"
Once all of her clan had gathered, she continued, "It will be time to announce our new warriors. Our seven apprentices have trained enough to become full-trained warriors. Brackenpaw, Firepaw, Mistypaw, Dustpaw, Snowpaw, Cloudpaw and Riverpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
All apprentices meowed "I do," All sounded strong, except for Mistypaw who mewed it quieter.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Firepaw, you will be known as Firefeather. StarClan honors your Bravery and Cleverness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan." 'Since his first Gathering, he's been stronger than the rest of his denmates. I am so proud that he is one of my kits.' Snowstar thought, with a small purr.
She had named the others, Brackenlight, Mistystripe, Dustheart, Snowclaw, Cloudpelt, and Riverheart. As the clan chanted, Snowstar heard something near the clan entrance. 'It may just be prey, but I will look just in case.' Snowstar noticed that Mistystripe was looking slightly that direction, once she went off Highrock.
"I'll look, the warriors are suppose to look after the queens and elders after all," Mistystripe whispered to Snowstar and Snowstar watched as Mistystripe stalked over there.
"Invasion!" Growled Ferretpelt, who was near the entrance.
Snowstar was kept in the Nursery, while her deputy, Pebbleheart shot out orders. She could only hear screeching of the cats outside.
"Will they come in here? ThunderClan was always rough." Mewed Acornkit.
"No my dear. The warriors won't let that happen and the warrior code states that no warrior harms a kit." Crowscar reassured her kits. Then she turned over to Snowstar, "I don't know why Flowerstar attacked us, I thought ThunderClan is friendly, after Cloudstar died.
"It's not just ThunderClan, I smell ShadowClan as well. The clan had been enemies since the dawn of the clans, but I never expected this to happen." Then a pain came through Snowstar. She only felt this kind of pain once before and recognized it well. 'My kits can't be coming now!'
"Darkkit, you are quick. Go find Thorntail and hurry."
The dark kit ran out with Snowstar in pain, the kits frightened and Crowscar fighting off warriors who now crashed through the walls of the Nursery.
