Just fyi, my story will be in six parts, each with six chapters. At the beginning of each, I will list the updated allegiances. With the prologue, possibly an "interlude" and an epilogue, I have planned out thirty-seven or thirty-eight chapters.

The listing of the allegiances every six chapters is just for clarity for you readers as the allegiances will change drastically from part one to the conclusion of the story. Enjoy!

Warriors: Power of One:

Part Two, Chapter Seven

With stunning agility, Sunpaw flipped her torso through the air as she arced over Cinderpaw. Her best friend turned, but too late to stop Sunpaw's back leg from knocking her legs from under her. As Cinderpaw lay in a heap, Sunpaw crouched over her.

"Well done, Sunpaw!" exclaimed Brackenfur. "Who taught you that move?"

Sunpaw purred with pride as she began to clean some of the sand off Cinderpaw's fur. "Hazeltail taught it to me about a moon ago before she became a warrior. I've been practicing it in secret, just so I could surprise you."

Brackenfur looked pleased at the progress his apprentice was making. Silverpaw and Thrushpaw looked amazed, and Sorreltail nodded in agreement as Squirrelflight said something about how her daughter would soon be a great warrior.

"It was executed wonderfully. I should ask Hazeltail to teach the clan her move," Cloudtail pondered. "We can always use new battle moves."

"Hazeltail is brilliant," Cinderpaw mewed. "As are you, Sunpaw. I think it will take me a while to learn a move like that, and I'm almost ready to be a warrior."

"I'm not too far behind you," Sunpaw protested. "And you're as advanced a fighter as any cat, though I think I may have you beat when it comes to hunting," she teased.

It was true. Sunpaw was an excellent hunter, just as her mother and grandmother before her. Sandstorm, Squirrelflight, and Sunpaw were three of the best hunters in the clan. Her brother Toadpaw was the fighter. He had already mastered everything Ashfur had taught him, and had even beat Mousewhisker and Berrynose at the same time. His strong legs allowed him to leap a long distance into the air and climb easier. He used those elements in his fighting style to his advantage, and always seemed to come out on top.

Her brother Runningpaw wasn't without talent as well. Already he was as fast as any WindClan cat, second only in the clan to Spiderleg. And her sister Nightpaw might just turn out to be the best medicine cat ThunderClan had ever seen. Needless to say, Sunpaw was proud of her family. Each one of them was special, and each one of them could do no wrong in Sunpaw's eyes.

After showing the new apprentices, Thrushpaw and Silverpaw a few more standard fighting moves, the apprentices and their mentors headed out of the sandy hollow by the Ancient Oak used for training and made their way back to camp.

Once there, Sunpaw and Cinderpaw took a mouse from the fresh kill pile and joined Runningpaw and Poppypaw who were already sharing a vole.

"I wonder what it would be like to be a medicine cat and have a mate too?" wondered Poppypaw out loud, gazing over at Brightheart and Cloudtail who were sharing tongues near the medicine cat cave. "Do you think she feels guilty?" Poppypaw asked.

"Shame on you, Poppypaw," meowed Cinderpaw. "Brightheart and Cloudtail were together before she became the medicine cat, which by the way is only a temporary position for her. Once Molepaw and Nightpaw are given their medicine cat names Brightheart has made it clear that she will step down."

"Get your fur out of a storm, Cinderpaw," Poppypaw said. "I only asked a question."

"Yes, well your question was rude," Cinderpaw retorted. Sunpaw and Runningpaw stared awkwardly at their food as the conversation had quickly staled.

Thankfully there was a distraction as Berrynose came through the camp entrance and Honeypaw yowled in happiness, "Berrynose! I've saved you a spot next to me!" The tom obliged her, clearly enjoying her unreserved affection.

"StarClan, those two make me sick," said Sunpaw. "Cinderpaw, if I'm ever that smitten with a tom, please promise to scratch some sense into me."

Cinderpaw purred, but Runningpaw looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong with those two showing affection?"

"I think their spectacles go beyond showing affection," Sunpaw argued. "Just look at them, making moony eyes over each other."

All four cats stared at the couple. Berrynose looked back after a moment and said, "Can we help you?" Quickly, all of them looked away.

"I should have expected you to say something like that, Runningpaw," Sunpaw said to her brother. "I've seen the way you've been hanging around Silverpaw. Since the day she was made an apprentice, you haven't stopped bothering her."

"I'm not bothering her!" Runningpaw protested, "We're friends. Friends spend time together."

"That's what they all say," Cinderpaw pitched in. All the she-cats purred.

"Whatever," Runningpaw said.

Just then, Toadpaw approached the group of apprentices. He had just gotten back from a border patrol on the ShadowClan border with Brambleclaw, Ashfur, and Sandstorm. Sunpaw saw her father go and sit next to her mother and Sorreltail.

Toadpaw sat down next to her, exhausted. Sunpaw offered him some of her mouse. Toadpaw bit in, gratefully. "Long day so far," he explained with a mouthful.

"Tell me about it," Sunpaw said understandingly. "I'm tired already, and Stormfur wants me on the WindClan border patrol after sun-high."

As if on cue, Stormfur and his mate Brook padded up next to them. "Are you almost ready to go?" he asked.

Sunpaw nodded, and she and Runningpaw joined Stormfur, Brook, and Birchfall as they went to remark the border with WindClan. Before they could leave, Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight called for them to wait.

Sunpaw's parents approached them and pulled them aside from the group. Brambleclaw looked at his children. "We just wanted to tell you how proud of you we are," he explained. "It's not every father that gets to say his children are each extremely talented, and all in different ways."

Squirrelflight agreed, adding, "We want you to know that we love you. And we'll always be here for you when you need us. We hope you know that."

Sunpaw and Runningpaw nuzzled their parents. "We know," Sunpaw said.

Brambleclaw broke away, "Now go remark those borders! They aren't going to remark themselves!"

Sunpaw smiled to herself. Her father could be gruff at times, but she knew he loved her and her siblings. He didn't spend a lot of time with them, but Sunpaw understood as her father was the clan deputy. Brambleclaw's responsibilities kept him from having much free time. Her mother had distanced herself from her kits when they first became apprentices so that Sunpaw and her siblings could grow independent on their own, and now Squirrelflight had an apprentice of her own to worry about. Still, the few moments her parents were able to share with them meant a lot to Sunpaw, and she knew her siblings felt the same.

Sunpaw took the rear as her patrol wove its way through the forest to the border. This certainly wouldn't be her first time on the WindClan border since she and her siblings had had their adventure with the WindClan apprentices, but Sunpaw couldn't help but think of the other Sunpaw and Heatherpaw. Neither had been at the Gathering following their escapade, but in the two that had followed, Sunpaw or her siblings had seen them and even visited with them, though nothing was spoken of the badger.

Now, as they reached the WindClan border, Sunpaw breathed in the scent of the moorland clan. The patrol followed the stream border away from the lake, making sure to renew the scent of ThunderClan on their side of the stream along the way.

At a certain point, Sunpaw began to notice the scent of WindClan getting stronger. The other cats on her patrol had noticed it too. Stormfur began to walk more briskly, and the others matched his pace, Birchfall's limping making a peculiar noise as he rushed himself to keep up with the patrol.

A cat came into view, running at full speed chasing a small brown shape across the stream. A smaller cat, probably an apprentice Sunpaw assumed, chased a rabbit across the stream and into ThunderClan territory. Ignoring the water, he caught up to the rabbit and bit down, ceasing the rabbit's struggle.

"Hey!" Stormfur shouted. "That wasn't yours to take, apprentice."

The dark gray tom looked at Stormfur with scorn. "I chased it from our side. Just because it crossed the border doesn't mean it wasn't WindClan prey."

Cheeky little cat, Sunpaw thought, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Well it isn't now," Birchfall argued, "Who's territory are you on? ThunderClan. That makes it ThunderClan prey. Birchfall walked forward as if to take the rabbit from this apprentice. The apprenticed bared his fangs and hissed. Birchfall's fur rose.

"Sootpaw!" called another voice, from across the stream. A tortoiseshell she-cat, a light brown tom, and a ginger tom were walking to the edge of the stream. Sunpaw recognized the tortoiseshell as Tawnyfur, Heatherpaw's mentor.

Sootpaw glanced at Tawnyfur and his other clanmates, but did not budge.

"Sootpaw has taken prey that doesn't belong to him," Stormfur explained.

"Of course it belongs to him," said the ginger tom. "He caught it."

"Silence, Weaselfur," Tawnyfur said. "Sootpaw leave the prey and come back across. That's an order."

Hesitantly, the small apprentice kicked his catch with his forepaw and trudged back across the stream. Tawnyfur spoke diplomatically, "ThunderClan, we apologize for the misunderstanding. Please accept the rabbit as a gift ensuring further good will between our clans."

Sunpaw could appreciate the way Heatherpaw's mentor handled the conflict. Stormfur seemed to agree. "We accept," he said.

Tawnyfur turned and walked away, the light brown tom following behind. Weaselfur and Sootpaw lingered, glaring at the ThunderClan cats. "You're all a bunch of cats that don't belong anywhere," Weaselfur hissed, "Kittypets and loners, exiles from other clans, cripples, and foreigners."

Birchfall and her brother looked like they were about to jump across the river and slash Weaselfur's throat. Sunpaw herself felt livid, anger beginning to blind all her other, more reasonable thoughts. But Stormfur and Brook seemed hardly phased. "Let's go," Stormfur said, just as the group heard Tawnyfur yowl back for Weaselfur and Sootpaw. Birchfall picked up the rabbit, and the patrol began to finish the job they had set out to do.

Sunpaw let her fur relax as she thought about what Weaselfur had said. In a way it was true. Stormfur was born to a RiverClan queen, and Brook had been born in the Tribe of Rushing Water. Birchfall would have a limp for the rest of his life, and there were many cats that had been born kittypets or were descendants of kittypets. There were even some in the clan who did not have warrior names. Brook, Daisy, and Millie had all chosen to keep their names they had been given at birth instead of accepting a ThunderClan name. But that didn't make any of the three she-cats less worthy ThunderClan warriors. Brook was a wise and skilled hunter. Daisy had helped to raise her and many other kits. Millie had returned to ThunderClan with Graystripe and was now preparing to be a mother for her kits soon to be born. The cats in her clan had many different backgrounds, but that didn't make Sunpaw see her clan as weak or inferior. Sunpaw was convinced that these varieties and differences only made her clan stronger, and more of a threat to the other clans. That was why so many cats hated ThunderClan. They were afraid because ThunderClan was stronger.
