Hi everybody! I don't even know why I am updating. If anybody cares, I am sick with the flu.
(Later)
"Cherrypaw, Dapplepaw, get up!"
"Huh?" Cherrypaw mumbles sleepily.
"Look what you did, Cherrypaw! They are waking us up only so they can groom us like crazy!" I jump on my sister and start pummeling her belly with my front paws, claws sheathed of course.
"Ah! Get off of me!"
"Never, you traitor!" I keep attacking her and she goes limp pretty soon. "Oh my Starclan! Cherrypaw, are you ok?! I'm sorry if I hurt you, I was just playing! I should have known you were still too weak to play-fight after a day like today. Please, don't leave me like Whitekit did, you are my sister, please!" I start sobbing into her fur. "Please," I start at a gentle lick on my shoulder. I turn to see Crowfeather standing over my shoulder.
"Leafpool is getting Jayfeather right now."
"It's too late, she's gone." Crowfeather starts grooming my fur with great delicacy. Jayfeather chooses that moment to burst into the apprentice den with our mother close behind.
"Move away, let me see her!" Jayfeather orders. I reluctantly move away from my sister's body but I stay as close as I can. I feel a tail on my shoulder and see Leafpool on my right and Crowfeather on my left. "She doesn't smell dead but she isn't breathing. Crowfeather, crouch down so we can get her onto your back and to my den, there's something weird going on here. Leafpool, help me gently lift her, um, body onto Crowfeather." Leafpool gently picks my sister's body up by the scruff and, with the help of Jayfeather, slowly levers him onto our fathers back. "Dapplepaw, stand on his left and make sure our sister doesn't fall off. Leafpool stand on the other side." Oh, so now is when he decides to acknowledge we are related! Shut up!
Jayfeather rushes out of the den ahead of us calling out to Briarlight, "Briarlight, get four new nests made, quickly!" We follow more slowly, emerging out of the den to see the whole clan gathered here.
"Get away, make room for them!" Calls Firestar from the Highledge. The clan clears a path for us but they are still pretty close, trying to figure out what is happening. We pad over to the medicine den slowly, making sure my possibly dead sister doesn't fall off my father's back. Once we get to the medicine den, Crowfeather gently crouches down and slides Cherrypaw into a nest.
"Dapplepaw, Leafpool, Crowfeather, you guys can stay here tonight while I try to figure out what is wrong with Cherrypaw."
"I'll go tell Firestar," I offer. Because I am not becoming a warrior without Cherrypaw!
"No, Dapplepaw, I'll …"
"I said, I will go." I cut off my father and reply in a steely voice. I then get up, walk out of the den and up to the Highledge. "Firestar, may I enter?"
"Yes you may." I enter the den and sit down. "It is almost sun-down,"
"Firestar, can I please wait until Cherrypaw is better, or we know if she is truly, dead?" I whisper the last word quietly, not wanting to believe she is dead.
"Yes, you may. I will still have Lily and Lark's apprentice ceremony though."
"Ok, thank you Firestar."
"You are very welcome young breeze."
"Wait, what?"
"Nothing."
"Ok…?" I pad out of the den with Firestar right behind me.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather hear beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting." Almost immediately, cats start pouring out of dens, giving me questioning glances as I head to the edge of the clearing so I can watch the ceremony. I am only watching because I am probably the only friend of Lily and Lark in the clan. "We now have a ceremony to perform that shows our clan is strong. Lily, Lark, please step forward. These two cats have asked to join Thunderclan and train to become warriors. Their father, Ravenpaw, and their mother will be arriving in a couple moons."
Mews of surprise at Ravenpaw's name erupt from the clearing. "Quiet! Lily, is it you're wish to join Thunderclan and train as a warrior apprentice, even at the cost of your life?"
"It is."
"Then I call Starclan to look down upon this rouge as I give her a new name. Lily, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Lilypaw. Thunderclan welcomes you as an apprentice. Bumblestripe will be your mentor. Bumblestripe, you are ready for an apprentice and I hope you pass down everything you learned from Mousewhisker onto Lilypaw. You are honored for your integrity and knowledge."
Firestar then does the same to Lark, naming him Larkpaw and giving him Goldenlight as a mentor. He then announces, "I was going to also give Dapplepaw and Cherrypaw their warrior names but something seems to have happened to Cherrypaw and Dapplepaw has requested not becoming a warrior until Cherrypaw can or she is officially declared, dead. Even though they still have apprentice names, they do not have to have any more training because they passed their last assessments. Dovewing and Lionblaze no longer have apprentices'. Meeting dismissed."
"Lilypaw! Larkpaw! Cherrypaw! Dapplepaw!" I head back to the medicine den and curl up in an open nest.
"Here, eat these poppy seeds then go to sleep." I chew up the black seeds and mumble 'Thank you.' To Jayfeather before falling into a dark sleep.
Ok, I had a really long AN on here, which was me complaining about stopping this fanfic for a while unless I get a review but I decided not to bore you with it. If you review by tomorrow night, you get a Dapplepaw plushie; if you review within 2 hours, you get a Cherrypaw plushie; if you do either of these things or try to figure out what &#&&^$*^$**)()^^$! # $%*() is I will update Christmas day and/or sooner!
