Chapter 5

"Let me explain."Frecklestar mewed nervousily. The whole of Forestclan wanted to know who this tom was and what he was doing here."Listen. I decided that Rainwhisker, this handsome tom, shall be my mate."

"Outrages!"Jaywhisker growled."Maybe this is what your doing wrong."

"Yeah. So you were meeting in secret?"Thistlejaw mewed.

"Um...yes. Foreststar was right. But now we have a spy for Waterclan."Frecklestar said happily.

"I still don't trust him."Blazeheart hissed."I'm going hunting."he walked off with Jaywhisker and Thistlejaw. Snowkit just stared at the massive tom. He was huge!

"Do you think he's nice?"Briarkit asked nervously.

"Let's find out."Whitekit went up to the grey and white tom."Are you friendly?"he mewed.

"Of course!"he mewed in reply. Rainwhisker started playing with the kits. All of them except Snowkit, who hung back. I don't trust him...he's here against the warrior code! Snowkit thought as she stalked off. Briarkit came up behind her."What's wrong, Snowkit? Rainwhisker is a lot of fun! You should join us."

"He's not Forestclan. He's pure Waterclan. I cannot trust him. Where are you going?"Snowkit said.

"I want to be Forestclan's next medicine cat, so I'm helping Nettletail. Wanna come?"

"Sure. Why not?"Snowkit padded off behind Briarkit, glad to be back with her sister.

It has been one moon since Rainwhisker came to the Forestclan camp, and Waterclan quickly found out he was a spy. Snowkit and Heatherkit are meeting eachother for the very first time.

Snowkit yawned. She was three moons old now; three more and she'd be an apprentice! Suddenly, more excitment coursed through her; Heatherkit and Ravenkit were probably going to open their eyes today! Snowkit rushed over to the sleeping lumps of fur, and waited. A groggy, but still sweet, Cloudfeather, looked at her.

"Let them sleep, Snowkit. I know you're as excited as I am, but they're kits."Cloudfeather meowed softly, as not to wake the kits. Snowkit went back to where she and her siblings slept.

"Hey sleepyheads!"she yowled."Wake up!"Snowkit leaped onto Whitekit."GET UP YOU LAZY FURBALLS!"she yowled again."C'mo-"Cloudfeather cut her off.

"SNOWKIT!"she growled."QUIET!"Snowkit sneered at Cloudfeather, and went out into camp. All five of her siblings followed.

"What do you want?"Whitekit growled, speaking for the other four.

"There was a rabbit on the fresh-kill pile! Look!"Suddenly, everyone of the five kits ran for it, dragging it off the fresh-kill pile, and ploping down in the middle of camp to eat it.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"Emberkit purred."You were right, Snowkit. Yummy rabbit!"the others nodded their agreement.

After her breakfast, Snowkit padded back into the nursery, where Heatherkit was opening her eyes.

"HEATHERKIT!"she snapped happily. Cloudfeather only rolled her eyes. Heatherkit opened pretty, blue eyes. Snowkit blinked. Only a moment after, Ravenkit showed blue eyes as well; a reeacuring trait for the family.

"Who are you?"Ravenkit asked. Heatherkit nodded.

"I am Snowkit. I can show you two around!"she meowed happily.

"Don't go outside of camp, though."Cloudfeather warned.

"We won't!"Snowkit chimed. Snowkit led them around camp, talking about each of the dens, and how they came to be that way and such.

"So what do you guys think?"Snowkit asked.

"I like where we live!"Heatherkit meowed.

"Me too!"Ravenkit agreed.

"Did you know that my mother was the first leader of Forestclan? Frecklestar is the second."Both kits' eyes widened.

"Wow. I wish my mother was the leader!"Ravenkit mewed. Heatherkit nodded, but just stayed silent. Snowkit listened to the conversations around them, mainly warriors talking about patrols and mates and such. Then her ears snapped back, picking up words Briarkit was saying.

"-just me, or does Snowkit show WAY to much intrest in Heatherkit and Ravenkit?"

"I agree. We're her family, not them!"Thunderkit sneered.

"Go easy on her. I agree with Briarkit, but she can have friends. I think it's because she named Heatherkit, that's why."Whitekit meowed, letting his wiser, more pleasant side show.

"I have to go."she meowed to the other kits, and stalked off to join her siblings. Ravenkit and Heatherkit looked crestfallen.

"I like Heatherkit and Ravenkit! They're nice!"Snowkit reasoned.

"Yeah? Well, I think you're...obsessed!"Briarkit sneered.

"Am not!Snowkit retorted.

"Hey! Easy, easy. Nobody saying anything. Snowkit, back off, though, ok?"Bronzekit meowed.

"Fair comprimise."Snowkit said. Soon a fun game of mossball was underway; Heatherkit and Ravenkit watched, but didn't ask to join. Snowkit sorta didn't want them to; she and her siblings had made the game; and were bigger and tougher, anyway. The other two were only a moon old. Finally, the game ended, Snowkit's team winning; again.

It has been three more moons, and they're apprentices! Yay! But there's still hard feelings...

Frecklestar leaped onto Highrock, and called out,"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highrock for a clan meeting."her belly was swollen with the promise of new kits, but they weren't due for another quarter moon."Today is a day for celebration. Foresetclan gets its first apprentices today. Whitekit, Snowkit, Emberkit, Bronzekit, and Thunderkit, please come up here."

"What about Briarkit?"Twigstep growled.

"You'll know in a minute. Be patient. Anyway,"Frecklestar mewed, adressing the clan,"from now on, until you recive your warrior names, you shall be known as Whitepaw, Snowpaw, Emberpaw, Bronzepaw, and Thunderpaw. Blazeheart, you are ready for an apprentice, and I hope you pass on your great courge and skill to Whitepaw."Whitepaw went up to Blazeheart and touched noses with him."Rainwhisker, you are ready for an apprentice, and I hope you pass on your smarts and loyalty to Snowpaw."Snowpaw growled and grumbled as she touched noses with Rainwhisker. He shot a glare at her. "Thistlejaw, you are Emberpaw's mentor and I hope you pass on your extrodenary hunting and battle skills to her."Emberpaw touched noses with the senior warrior."Bronzepaw, your mentor is Twigstep."Bronzepaw touched noses with the other senior warrior."And lastly, but not leastly, Thunderpaw's mentor is Ferncloud."Thunderpaw touched noses with Ferncloud.

"Whitepaw! Snowpaw! Emberpaw! Bronzepaw! Thunderpaw!"the clan cheered. Snowpaw purred with happiness at hearing her name called.

"But we're not done. Briarkit and Nettletail, please come up here."Frecklestar stepped back to make room for them.

"Cats of Forestclan! As you know I will not be around forever, so it's time I took on an apprentice. Briarpaw shall be my apprentice because I have seen her natural gift and talent in working with herbs. Your next medicine cat will be Briarpaw."Nettletail said proudly.

"Briarpaw, do you except the post of apprenice to Nettletail?"

"I do, Frecklestar."

"Then at the half moon you must travel to the Sunstone with the other medicine cats to be exepted by Eternalclan."Nettletail mewed to her apprentice.

"The good wishes of all Forestclan go with you."Frecklestar mewed.

"Briarpaw! Briarpaw! Briarpaw!"the clan cheered.

"Whitepaw! Snowpaw! Emberpaw! Bronzepaw! Briarpaw! Thunderpaw!"the entire clan was cheering. Heatherkkit and Ravenkit yowling Snowpaw's name the loudest. As Snowkit looked around camp, she locked eyes with Rainwhisker. By the way he looked at her, she could tell, something wasn't right.
