Here is the first real chapter. I accept reviews. Enjoy! :3 P.S. I forgot to add in the allegiances that Cinderheart is now in the nursery expecting Lionblaze's kits!
Bramble's POV
Bramblestar woke up quickly with his heart racing. Another nightmare, he thought. "Bramblestar, are you okay?" mumbled his mate, Squirrelflight.
"Yes, I'm just going out for a walk". He exited the den and looked at the camp, which was still stained with blood. At least the bodies are gone. Bramblestar walked down to the lake and thought about the Great Battle. Bramblestar has just received his nine lives, but Mistystar had six, Onestar had 4, and Blackstar was on his last life. Soon, Bramblestar thought about his nightmare. His father or brother didn't haunt it, but a strange brown-and-cream tabby she-cat with amber eyes did, one he had never seen before.
The clan cats that were trained by the Dark forest had been banished or reverted, but were not trusted. During the Great Battle, Ferncloud, Hollyleaf, Briarlight, and Blossomfall died and they were buried shortly after. Lilykit and Seedkit are six moons and you know what that means. Now back to the story!
Bramblestar walked back to the camp to see that everyone was up and about. Some new apprentices will make the clan a little happier, he thought. He sprang up on the high ledge and yowled,"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting! Will Lilykit and Seedkit step forward please?"
Bramblestar could see Sorreltail furiously licking the two she-cats. They both went up to the Highledge. Bramblestar signaled Lilykit to step forward first.
"Lilykit,you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Lilypaw. Your mentor will be Bumblestripe."
Then, Bramblestar nodded towards the tom. "Bumblestripe, you are ready to take on an apprentice, you had received excellent training from Mousewhisker, and you have shown yourself to be brave and clever. You will be the mentor of Lilypaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Lilypaw" Bumblestripe touched noses with Lilypaw.
Then, Bramblestar looked at Seedkit. "Seedkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Seedpaw. Your mentor will be …. Ivypool" Bramblestar could see the excitement and fear that shone in the she-cats eyes.
"Ivypool, you are ready to take on an apprentice, you had received excellent training from Cinderheart, and you have shown yourself to be wise and loyal. You will be the mentor of Seedpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Seedpaw" Ivypool, then, touched noses with Seedpaw.
Then, Brackenfur started the chant, "Lilykit! Seedkit! Lilykit! Seedkit!..." Soon the entire clan was calling the new apprentices' names. Bramblestar felt warmth and joy flood through him as the clan started looking normal, like before they went to the lake. Next, he went to the nursery and saw that Lionblaze was there tending to his mate. Jayfeather was also there, feeling Cinderheart's stomach. He looked up at the two toms.
"There are 4 kits" 4 kits! Bramblestar thought with delight. That was a very big litter. He turned and saw Lionblaze and Cinderheart staring at Jayfeather with disbelief. He congratulated them and went out hunting with Foxleap and Cherrypaw. Later, when he returned and snuggled with Squirrelflight. She turned to him and said," You did good today Bramblestar, you did good. Then, she faded into a deep slumber.

Bramblestar got up and walked out of his den. A loud yowl arose from the nursery. He rushed over there with Jayfeather and saw Cinderheart on the floor, in great pain, giving birth. Bramblestar let Jayfeather and Lionblaze through. He stepped outside and waited for it to be over. Soon, he heard the mewing of kits and looked inside. There were 4 kits, all fluffy and cozy, sitting on the floor of the nursery.
The first kitten was a snow-white she-cat with icy blue eyes. The second kitten was an all gray tom with a splash of ginger of one side of his face. His eyes were yellow.
The third kitten was a ginger she-cat with faint black stripes on her back. She had green eyes. The last kit was an extremely jet-black tom with large peculiar blood-red eyes. He got right up and hissed at Bramblestar, flexing his unnaturally large paws and claws in the process.
Please give me some names for the kits and a personality. The black one is mine, but you can still write about him. I will announce the contributors in the next chapter, but this is going to be a long contest because it takes me a while to write these. Also tell me if I should do long chapters and short chapters. Bye!
