Chapter 23

Snowpaw groggily opened her eyes. It has been almost a moon since the attack on Forestclan, and Snowpaw's shoulder is nearly healed. She still walks with a slight limp, but can run and jump like any normal cat. She sighs and started to get up, mindful of the other sleeping apprentices around her. None of us will be apprentices for much longer,

Snowpaw was on the dawn patrol,, and it was her first day of being a normal apprentice again. For most of the moon, she had been cleaning the elders' ticks and replacing beding for cats, all really easy tasks that her shoulder could handle. Besides that, she did swimming therapy by swimming in the lake.

The day had dawned gray and rainy, but Spring was in the air. Birds still tweeted and chirped, and trees with fresh-smelling flowers dotted the Thunderclan territory.

Snowpaw padded out of the apprentices den. She was going along with Sweetwind, Aspenpaw and Gingerpaw, and their mentors, Morningstar and Owlclaw. Isn't that a little weird? Having both the deputy and leader gone on a patrol?

"Ready?"Sweetwind asked Snowpaw.

"Yeah, sure."she replied, then the creamy she-cat lowered her voice."But why are both Morningstar and Owlclaw on patrol?"

Sweetwind shrugged."Beats me. Alright. Here come Aspenpaw and Gingerpaw. They are getting a tour of the territory as well today, so Morningstar asked Blazeheart to be in charge."

"Oh."Snowpaw realized why both the leader and deputy were going. Aspenpaw and Gingerpaw had arrived, and the six cats headed out of camp.

Once out of camp, Morningstar and Owlclaw picked up pace. Sweetwind and Snowpaw did too. What's the rush? Do Windclan cats not like getting wet? Snowpaw herself didn't really mind the rain, so long as it wasn't pouring.

They started heading towards the Thunderclan territory first, the gentle hill sweeping down towards the trees. I wish I could hunt in those trees, Snowpaw thought longingly.

The stream that marked the edge of Windclan's boarder line was overflowing with water."We might have to have warriors check on this daily,"Morningstar muttered to Owlclaw, who nodded.

Snowpaw and Sweetwind started marking the border, and Aspenpaw and Gingerpaw were listening to their mentors about Thunderclan. After Owlclaw and Morningstar were done giving their speeches, they headed for the Riverclan boarder.

The cats stopped just short of the marshy ground, and proceeded to mark their side of the territory. Again, the leader and deputy gave long speeches about Riverclan, and started going into Shadowclan as well. This is pointless.

"Sweetwind!"Snowpaw called for her mentor."Why don't we go back to camp and do some training?"

"That's a great idea, Snowpaw."Sweetwind had bounded over to her."I was getting a bit board myself."

So, the two she-cats headed back for camp. Snowpaw's paws were tired and weary from her first day back. But I know that if I didn't start now, when would I start? And, then my warrior ceremony might be delayed!

Snowpaw and Sweetwind headed home in almost complete silence. The grassy hills were wet with rain, soaking Snowpaw's pelt through. Today might actually be a good day for some hard core training. She thought as they padded home.

Once Sweetwind and Snowpaw got home, most of the clan was already out doing patrols and such.

"I'm going to get some breakfast. What do you want, Snowpaw?"Sweetwind asked.

"Um...maybe a rabbit?"she replied.

"Okay."Sweetwind dashed off, and she had a quick word with her son, Quillpaw. Both were mourning for the death of Winterpaw and Sleetfur.

Snowpaw spotted Briarpaw running hurriedly in camp. She had a wad of herbs in her mouth, and was running into the nursery. Only one cat would be having kits; Ferncloud!

Snowpaw charged out of camp, eager to find Blazeheart and inform him that his mate was giving birth. He's most likely battle training with Whitepaw, so I'll go to the shallow valley.

She raced towards the training area. If Blazeheart wasn't there, she didn't know what to do! Maybe I'll just have to look for him later, if I don't find him now.

Snowpaw crashed through the moor grasses. Thank goodness! Blazeheart was there with Whitepaw.

"Blazeheart! Ferncloud is having kits!"Snowpaw interrupted.

"What?"Blazeheart looked shocked."Then I must return to camp immediately! Whitepaw, go hunting!"Blazeheart turned around and left. Snowpaw looked back at her brother.

"You almost done with your training?"she asked him.

He nodded."Yes, but I can teach you some moves, you know."

"I would really like that. Thanks Whitepaw,"Snowpaw meowed greatfully.

"Okay. So how much do you know?"he asked, his blue eyes glancing at a bird overhead.

"Well, Sweetwind was going to teach me the dodge-and-swipe, but she never got around to it."

"Oh,"Whitepaw meowed, his eyes clouding with confusion.

"What's wrong?"Snowpaw asked him.

"That's the battle move I just did,"the white tom mewed."I guess we can do that, if you want to,"

"Oh thank you Whitepaw! I was hoping you'd say yes!"Snowpaw brushed her pelt against her brother's.

"Well, I wouldn't want you to not become a warrior with Bronzepaw and I,"he said in her ear softly.

Snowpaw nodded."Show me the move!"

"It's really simple. When a cat attacks you,"he paused, beckoning with his tail for Snowpaw to attack him."Simply dodge and swipe at them."

The creamy she-cat lunged for her brother, who dodged her attack at the last second, and then swiped at her paws, causing her to loose her footing. She rolled to a stop.

"That seems easy enough,"she meowed, getting up and shaking out her pelt."Let me try it on you. Just remember my shoulder,"

"Of course. I'd only go easy on you anyway,"Whitepaw smirked. Snowpaw narrowed her green eyes and attacked him, but this time, she bowled into Whitepaw.

"Now are you going to take it easy on me?"she asked, pawing his face. Both were purring with laughter.

The white tom pushed her off."I was only joking!"

"Yeah sure. You only said that because you know I am tougher than you,"Snowpaw meowed, When he attacks, I will do the dodge-and-swipe on him!

Whitepaw attacked just as quickly as Snowpaw had, but this time, Snowpaw tripped him. He was quick to get back on his paws, though.

"You are NOT tougher than I am! Look who got their shoulder injured in the fight!"Whitepaw spat angerly.

Geez Whitepaw. I thought we were just playing around! "That just means I'm also braver! I fought many warriors to get it this bad!"Snowpaw replied bitterly. If it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he will get!

"I've had to save you in so many circumstances I'm starting to think that I'm more like your mentor trying to stop you from doing something stupid!"Whitepaw growled.

Snowpaw crouched defensively."Well at least I'm not stupid!"

Whitepaw flattened his ears and attacked Snowpaw. She screeched and started running. God help me! Why are we even fighting? Suddenly Snowpaw had an idea. She faced Whitepaw, her green eyes narrowed in anger. If this doesn't work, I'll attack him with my claws!

"Why are you going to attack me?"Snowpaw asked, crouched in case she needed to run again.

Whitepaw narrowed his blue eyes."Why am I attacking you? Because you called me stupid."

"I thought real warriors didn't fight."she mewed, sitting up.

"They don't. They only fight their clanmates who are in love with a tom from another clan!"he roared.

Snowpaw's eyes widened in shock."What? How do you know about me and Hawkfire?"

"I see it,"he hissed, walking in a large circle around Snowpaw."I see it every time you see him!"

Snowpaw shook her head."My business with Hawkfire is none of yours."

Whitepaw stopped in front of her and relaxed."I just don't want to loose my sister to a tom from another clan."

Snowpaw spat angerly,"Are you just trying to cover up your anger?"

"What? No!"Whitepaw flattened his ears and narrowed his eyes."I just thought since you have the best chance at becoming deputy, maybe you should think about your actions before you complete them."

"Deputy? I will gladly leave that position up to you, Whitepaw. You deserve it more than me,"

"No I don't!"Whitepaw stepped closer to Snowpaw."I've seen the way Blazeheart looks at you. He sees mom in you."

Snowpaw shrugged."So?"

"So you should think about what to do and what not to do,"Whitepaw meowed, and then said,"I'm sorry for attacking you. I just got out of hand."

"Yeah, you better be!"Snowpaw pushed him over and started padding back to camp. Whitepaw followed, neither saying anything more all the way home.

Once Snowpaw and Whitepaw had returned camp, it was almost sunset. Snowpaw had just finished a vole with Hawkfire, and told him about how Whitepaw acted towards everything, but then how nice he was on the way home.

"Do you want to go see Ferncloud's kits with me?"Snowpaw asked Hawkfire.

"Sure!"he replied. The two cats got up and padded over into the nursery.

There lay Ferncloud, and three tiny bundles at her tummy.

"What are their names?"Snowpaw asked her.

"This is Pinekit,"she gently placed her tail on a large gray mottled tom with black spots,"This is Tawnykit,"she nosed a small tawny she-cat with black spots,"And this is Leopardkit."she nudged a golden tom with black spots.

"They're cute."Snowpaw meowed, happiness swelling inside her that more kits had been born. Birdfeather's kits and Tigersong's kits were eyeing the newer ones with keen interest.

"Mama, when can we play with them?"asked Poolkit.

"Soon, little one."replied Birdfeather.

"When is 'soon'?"Dustkit asked.

"Don't know. Come on. Back to bed."meowed Birdfeather.

Ashstar's kits, Shadekit, Mistkit, Blackkit, and Smokekit peered out from behind a bush. They were playing an usually loud game.

"My turn my turn!"Blackkit shouted.

"Quiet!"Tigersong snapped."Let Ferncloud rest."

"Okay,"Shadekit meowed in disappointment.

Snowpaw and Hawkfire left the nursery, and quietly Snowpaw whispered in his ear,"One day, I hope that will be us."He nodded in response.

"Goodnight, Hawkfire."Snowpaw circled her nest and fell asleep.

"Snooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwpaw...SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWPAW..."

A soft voice was beckoning Snowpaw."What?"

"Remember, 'The snow will not bring frost into the world, but sun. If they are careful, then Forestclan shall be saved; but beware! Danger and heart-break lurk at every turn! The Snow Flake shall bring the light to save them all.'

"WHAT?"Snowpaw called, but the cat was already gone. She was in Eternalclan's home, but Snowpaw knew she wasn't dead. She tried to find the owner of the voice, but Snowpaw was just too slow. For the rest of the night, she spent it hunting in Eternalclan.
