CHAPTER 4
Pepperkit POV
Nearly 3 moons later
I woke to a noise in the clearing. I was the only one up besides Daisy our mother, who was sticking her head out of the nursery to find out what was happening.
"Bramblestar!" Yelled Lionblaze.
"One of Windclan's warriors was found on our territory and said he wants to talk to you."
Bramblestar came out of his den and looked at the entrance where the dawn patrol stood along with another warrior. He was very dark grey almost black, and looked familiar. But that couldn't be because I had never been out of camp.
Willowkit woke up and came to look outside with me just as bramblestar started to speak.
"Crowfeather, what were you doing on Thunderclan territory?" He asked.
"Please bramblestar, my clan no longer trusts me because Nightcloud and Breezepelt left after the war, they drove me out thinking I might not be loyal anymore, the only ones who stood up for me were the leader and deputy, so I wish to join Thunderclan."
Leafpool walked out of her den and saw crowfeather. She stared at him for a moment with a look of total confusion, anger, and maybe, hope?
"How can we know that he will be completely loyal to thunderclan?" Yelled Berrynose.
There were other murmured agreements but then crowfeather spoke again.
"I came here because I still love Leafpool! " He yelled. "And any clan that she is loyal to, I will risk my life for."
There was a collective gasp. Since I was born I had been trying to learn everything about the clan, we had learned from the elders that after they came back to the clans, Crowfeather abandoned Leafpool for Nightcloud of Windclan and never spoke to her.
So hearing that from him was very shocking for most of the warriors.
Leafpool after hearing this ran to him with the biggest smile ever on her face.
"I will allow crowfeather to join Thunderclan." Bramblestar yelled to silence them.
Crowfeather spoke again, "Thank you Bramblestar I promise to prove that I'm completely loyal to Thunderclan and..." He was cut off.
"But if you give us ANYreason to believe that you are not loyal, then you will be exiled from the clans!" Bramblestar yelled.
He agreed and Leafpool took him to make a nest in the warriors den.
Willowkit turned to me and said, "want to go help the elders and ask them for a story?"
We were the only ones, kit or apprentice that would help the elders willingly.
"Sure!" I said
We ran off to the den to help them, not knowing that we were being watch by more than one pair of eyes.
Nightkit POV
I woke up to find Willowkit and Pepperkit gone. It wasn't strange because they always go to help the elders. I usually go with them but I've been spending some time helping Jayfeather. I think he might ask me to be his apprentice! I hope so but he's so grumpy all the time.
Sandstorm, one of the elders said that he just needs a good apprentice to mellow him. Whatever that means. I like helping the clan and it would be great to share dreams with starclan at the Moonpool.
I walk to his den but he's gone. He said he needed more marigold because it's now late leaffall, and the plants are starting to die. I walk further in and see Briarlight sleeping in her nest and some of the herbs are a mess and it looks like he was in the middle of organizing them.
Maybe if I finish it for him he will make me his apprentice. So I get to work sorting the dead ones from the fresher ones.
I start with yarrow. We have quite a bit and I think we will be fine through leafbare. After I put it all in it's place, I move to juniper berries. Most of them are dead, and I make a mental note to tell Jayfeather. There are only three or four berries and I move them to a small scoop in the ground near the wall. Other than that he's done all of the other sorting.
It's weird there are many small scoops in this den just right for berries or seeds, and crevices in the walls perfect for leaves and roots. Next I sort poppy seeds. There are only a few of those as well and they will need to be collected before leafbare sets in. I finish sorting and take the dead herbs out to the dirtplace and when I come back Jayfeather is there.
"You did well Nightkit." He said
It was amazing he never said anything nice to anyone!
Before I could reply he spoke again.
"I have a question for you and it is very important that you choose you answer wisely". He said
"Alright what is it?" I asked, very exited about what he might ask
"Starclan have spoken to me and told me that you are the right cat to be my apprentice." He said
I gasped!
" Yes it would be so great to be a medicine cat apprentice!" I squealed
"Alright," he said slightly amused.
"I will tell bramblestar. You and you sisters are becoming apprentices soon."
He added
"Why don't you go spend time with them." And he walked away.
I couldn't wait to tell them!
Swirlkit POV
I smiled, I had fooled everyone into thinking I was still sleeping, when in truth I had been planning for hours. I woke Glitterkit and told her the plan.
Blackpaw was a pain sometimes and thought he was so much better than us. So we were going to put fire ants in his nest!
We got just outside the dirtplace entrance when Glitterkit froze.
"Did you hear that?" She whispered.
"Hear what?"
"Paw steps and lots of them."
"No, but..."
CRACK!
A twig snapped and some cat swore quietly.
"Let's get back!" Glitterkit whispered.
"Ok." I said
But She was already running back to camp.
As soon as I entered through the dirtplace, I saw Glitterkit make it to the nursery just before Windclan burst through the main entrance!
It was chaos! I had always wanted to see a real battle but I had to admit I was scared. Especially when Riverclan joined in. It was getting WAY out of paw, and I knew we were going to loose. But to make things worse I was found and picked up by a Riverclan Tom.
He headed toward the nursery
I was scared that he was going to take All of us. But then I heard another sound.
"I found an opening!" Yelled a Windclan warrior.
The Tom carrying me sped up and went around the side just as they were both attacked by Daisy and Sandstorm, who were both mad as badgers. It was funny to see the looks on the tom's faces and distracted me for a moment but I was back to worrying when I saw who the other Tom had in his jaws.
"Willowkit!" I squeaked
"Swirlkit? What do we do?! " She yelled but before i could reply two things happened.
Shadowclan ran into camp and joined the fight
And My sisters attacked the warriors holding us.
Pepperkit POV
We had been in the elders den for quite some time now. Our deal with them was always the same, we clean the den and fix the nests and stuff and they tell us one of their awesome stories.
We had just finished when sandstorm and greystripe started the story, about life in the forest when it was being torn down.
Sandstorm starts.
A long time ago, even before berrynose was kitted, the clans lived in a very different place.
Greystripe picks up.
It was way over the mountains in a place very much like this one. But, there was no lake.
We gasped. No Lake!?
"How is that possible?" Asked Willowkit.
"Well, young kits. There were streams and a Huge river that ran through parts of the territories." He said
Just then there was a commotion outside. Cloudtail, who was watching the entrance, barley had time to yell out a warning before tons of cats rushed into the camp! A cat yelled Windclan attack! And that is when the chaos started.
Daisy ran out of the nursery and called for us.
"Kits come here quickly!"
Sandstorm turned to greystripe and they shared a weird look before picking Willowkit and I up and dashing to the nursery.
We almost made it, but a Windclan warrior saw us and ran in our direction. Greystripe put me down and told me to run as fast ad I could to sandstorm, who had made it to the nursery with Willowkit. He turned to fight the other warrior and I ran to sandstorm.
When I got their she pushed me in and continued to stand guard by the opening.
My mother ran up to me and brought me to our nest. But something was wrong, Swirlkit was missing and Daisy was frantic! I turned to my sisters and we knew exactly what we had to do.
"We are the only ones who know all of her hiding places." Said glitterkit
"And she always said she wanted to see a REAL battle." Sighed Willowkit
"Let's go then!" Squeaked nightkit
We snuck through a hole in the back of the den and stopped dead in our tracks. Because right there was a Windclan warrior!
"Shh." I said quietly.
He hasn't seen us yet. Let's creep back into the nursery before he does.
Glitterkit was the last one out so she quickly ran back in. Then Nightkit. Then it was just Willowkit and I.
"Let's go at the same time." She whispered.
"Ok... Now." We tiptoed backwards because we had been the farthest out of the den. But with our luck, he turned and saw us.
"I found an opening!" He yelled as he ran toward us.
We tried our best to scramble in, but he grabbed willowkits tail just as we got to the hole.
He pulled her out of my reach so I ran through the hole and screamed.
"He's got Willowkit!"
Daisy turned around saw the hole and ran out the entrance to save her kit.
"Come on guys! We've got to help!"
It was common knowledge that daisy couldn't fight, because she had never wished to learn. So we all raced to the hole to help her. We couldn't fight either but four kits running at you can be a little overwhelming.
We found him walking away from the nursery only to find sandstorm and a Very angry queen. They started to fight and we looked for a way to help but then another Tom cat joined! And he had Swirlkit!
"Oh that's IT!" Willowkit screeched. "No one, takes my sisters!"
We all looked at eachother before yelling, "ATTACK!
