Robinpaw trashed her head, reaching for a clump of reeds. Rippleheart yowled and noticed the differences. Thick short fur of Robinpaw. Long thin glossy fur of Rippleheart. The deputy lunged at the reeds and grabbed the base. She was able to drag the she-cat on shore, her ginger belly and paws coated in mud. Robinpaw held the reeds tight in her jaws.

"Huuuuuuuuh..." Groaned Robinpaw. Rippleheart helped the kit hack and spit out the water in the apprentice's lungs.

"Le'me (Lemme/Let me) get Rainfur!" Worried Rippleheart dashing toward camp, dragging the robin-pelted cat.

"What? What's this? Did she try and fish? Did she fall? Did she grab reeds to save herself!?" Meowed Rainfur, his creamy pelt shivering in terror and fear.

"Yes. Yes. And yes." Rippleheart replied calmly. Her gray fur dripped with water like Robinpaws'.

"Myyyyy lunnnnngs..." Groaned Robinpaw.

"Oh no. Reeds! The reeds hold high toxic! Poppy seeds, yarrow, juniper berries," he said. He ran to his den and gathered the herbs. (Look at Med cat uses aj warrior cats. Wordpress .com) (No spaces)

He quickly had the apprentice eat the yarrow. And quickly it reacted for the gray-brown and ginger cat and she cringed. She dashed from camp and coughed. As she vomited she limped back to camp. A firey tom padded to her.

"Are you okay...? I'm Firepaw." He mewed. Robinpaw nodded curtly. Rippleheart and Rainfur nodded for Robinpaw to come to the apprentice's den. The fire colored apprentice followed.

The cats found a mossy fresh nest with feathers and rabbit fur in it.

"Wheeere did youuu get the rabbit's fffur and fffeatherzz...?" Croaked Robinpaw, looking up as she curled into the small nest.

"We don't only hunt fish, we hunt other things too." Softly whispered Rippleheart. Rainfur nodded, his shaggy cream pelt shaking as he walked to Robinpaw with the herbs.

"Eat these." He said pushing the juniper berries and poppy seeds to her. She nodded and lapped them up.

Robinpaw

"We have a new denmate!" Excitedly meowed Firepaw.

"Who!?" Asked a young female voice, maybe my age. I groaned. My lungs hurt.

"Didn't you go to the gathering?" Firepaw asked. I noticed he was talking about me. I thought about his coat, glossy and ginger, a slight dark stripe running up his muzzle from his nose. His eyes, were yellow, hint of golden in them, too.

"No." She responded irratatedly.

"Graypaw." He growled. Graypaw, that's her name. I thought.

"What!?"

"Robinpaw!"

"Robinpaw!?"

I wondered if she had seen me. Probably not.

"Scent that ShadowClan?" He growled. "Rippleheart will tell you."

"Stop that talking!" Snapped Rippleheart. "Graypaw, you know how reeds are poisonous, but Robinpaw bit them! Quiet down so she can sleep!" I was happy my mentor cared for me. I watched Rainfur and Rippleheart pad off. Then I saw a white she-cat with a gray belly staring at me. Ohhh, glaring at me. I shook my head and said,

"You must be Graypaw."

"Yes, thank you very much!" She said. Firepaw looked at her like, Stop talking to her that way! But she then made heart eyes.

My heart suddenly dropped. They were going to be mates. I wouldn't get to be Firepaw's mate. Firepaw walked to me and sat down. I folded upward into a sit instead of a lay.

"Heeay!" I said half laughing when I felt his flank touching mine. I blushed in shock and Firepaw quickly was jerked away by Graypaw.

"Stop it!" Whisper growled Graypaw. "Your touching her! I'm your future mate, not her!" I heard the whisper of disgaust. I saw Graypaw look at me and I growled,

"Listen. I could've just died. Your yapping about being mates, when your mangy kits!" The words hurt my lungs to say this about Firepaw. He looked hurt. I mumbled, "It's the truth."

"What ever. No one cares about you." Purred Graypaw, and stalked out with Firepaw.

4 Moons Later

"You are now declared, Firewhisp, Grayflower, and Robinthorn." (Oohhhh haha you thought it would be Robinfang!)

"Firewhisp!" Howled the cats. I smiled.

"Grayflower!"

"Robinthorn!"

The caterwaul rose above the gathering and Rippleheart, Rockytail, and Mistyfoot, purred with delight about their apprentices.

"Also, we have another announcement." Lakestar said. Mistyfoot walked from the base of the mossy stone up to Lakestar. Her muzzle was finally growing white. Firewhisp watched his mentor in sadness and I tipped my head to the side.

"Mistyfoot is ready to join the elders. She has served our clan with great honor. With her six lives left, StarClan has agreed to take five of them, and she will forward be a normal cat." Lakestar's blue-gray blazed under the blistering red-orange sun.

"Mistyfoot's grace, Mistyfoot's grace!" Chanted the clan. My ears twitched. I was a warrior! But... I looked at Firewhisp, who's sight was fixed on the white she-cat Grayflower. Her gray silver belly brimmed her scar on her side. I let out a hiss when the clan's gathering broke.

"I trusted you!" I shouted, lashing my tail. Firewhisp looked at me in terror and he noticed he wasn't watching me like he promised. Grayflower's mouth formed a grim smile.

"I-"

"No. Don't say anything. I love you, you idiot! And you pick this flea-brain!?" I launched myself at Grayflower and pinned her. She wriggled under my strength but I had too much weight. Then Firewhisp said,

"If your doing this, what ever! I love you too-" Firewhisp stopped when Grayflower launched me off. "But Grayflower and I have plans." Grayflower grinned and curled her tail around Firewhisp's shoulders. I felt hot tears stinging my eyelids.
