A/N: Nice long chapter this time :) Sorry about all the short ones :/ Also, this book is almost done (this is book 1) and once I'm done I think I'm going to change the book title to- SunClan: Book 1: Rising. So I'll put out a warning on every chapter and I'll also have it under my profile. So if you are a guest and/or don't have this book 'favorited/followed' make sure to write down the new title!
Thank you:
Dapplepelt- I agree :/ thanks for your continued support! :)
Lovepaw- thanks for your support :D
Guest- wish granted, yes she does :) You'll learn who she's probably going to get in this chapter :)
So onto the chapter!
Ch.18
Blizzardfur had moved to the nursery just days after the battle. She was pregnant with Vineclaw's kits. Just a moon after Blizzardfur moved into the nursery, her daughter, Spottedsky, gave birth to a she-cat, Poolkit, and a tom, Vinekit. Brookrun stretched in the sun outside of the warriors den.
"Hey, Brookrun, want to go on a hunting patrol?" Beehive called out. "I'm leading it and Bushtail and Owlsight are coming, too."
Brookrun nodded and pounced over to where the patrol was waiting by the camp entrance. Beehive dipped his head to her and the cats silently disappeared into the undergrowth. Brookrun scented a mouse and slowly crept towards it. She prepared to pounce when a light ginger she-cat pounced on it and killed the mouse in one bite. Brookrun snarled at the she-cat and got into a fighting stance. Right before Brookrun leaped she caught a whiff of the she-cats scent. It was strangely familiar and Brookrun relaxed.
"Mandy? Could it really be you?" Brookrun asked.
The she-cat starred at Brookrun. "Brooke?"
"Brookrun now, I'm a warrior of ThunderClan!"
All the sudden a screech echoed from behind Brookrun. The rest of Brookrun's hunting patrol had spotted them.
"Brookrun, do you know this cat?" Beehive snarled.
"Yes, this is my sister, Mandy," Brookrun replied evenly.
"What's she doing on our territory?" Owlsight asked.
Mandy's voice shook, "Well, I was wondering where Brookrun was. I…I checked ShadowClan and well they said I would find her here. I was… well I was hoping I could… join ThunderClan."
Bushtail spoke next, "Let's take her back to camp, Honeystar will decide."
Brookrun walked next to Mandy, Bushtail took up the front and Beehive walked on the opposite side of Mandy. Owlsight took up the rear.
A couple of minutes later the patrol had arrived back at the ThunderClan camp and Brookrun led Mandy to Honeystar's den. Swampmud accompanied them along with Beehive.
"Who's this?" Honeystar asked as she starred at Mandy.
"This-" Swampmud was interrupted by Honeystar.
"Let the rogue speak."
"Uh… my name is Mandy, and… uh… I'm Brookrun's sister, and I was wondering if I could join ThunderClan," Mandy stuttered.
Honeystar considered Mandy's request. "Why do you want to join ThunderClan?"
"Havana, my mother, died and Brookrun's pretty much my only family… so I didn't want to live all by myself," Mandy stated.
"Seems like a good reason, Swampmud, Beehive? What do you think?" Honeystar asked.
"We do need more warriors," Beehive nodded.
Swampmud snorted. "Loyal warriors, we need clanborn warriors!"
Mandy then talked again, "I wasn't really hoping to become a warrior, I don't like fighting and all that stuff. I was wondering if I could become a medicine cat apprentice."
Honeystar's eyes widened, "Fetch Hawkherb." She told Beehive.
The grumbling silver tabby entered Honeystar's den a minute later.
"What is it Honeystar? I have things to do, Vinekit has a cough and Cowtail has a belly ache!" Hawkherb snorted. "And what's a rogue doing here?"
Honeystar rolled her eyes, "This is Mandy, Brookrun's sister. She wants to join the clan and… well; she wants to be a medicine cat."
Hawkherb sighed, "Well, it would be nice to have an apprentice and since Poolkit and Vinekit don't seem to be interested and I'm getting older… ok, we'll give her a go."
Honeystar dipped her head to the medicine cat. "Mandy, I'll hold your apprentice ceremony now."
Brookrun turned to go out of Honeystar's den and Mandy followed her.
"How did Havana die?" Brookrun asked her as Mandy groomed her pelt.
"This tom named Dagger murdered her before he went off to live in WindClan," Mandy sighed.
Brookrun dipped her head. Havana had been a good mother to her.
Honeystar leaped up to Highrock and let out the familiar call, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around Highrock for a clan meeting!"
Leafshine joined Brookrun and Mandy next to the Highrock.
"Leafshine, this is my sister, Mandy," Brookrun introduced them. "Mandy, this is one of my best friends, Leafshine."
Leafshine said hello to Mandy and Mandy returned the gesture.
Honeystar then continued after all of the cats had gathered. "Brookrun found a rogue inside the ThunderClan border today. Apparently, the rogue was her sister, named Mandy. Mandy wishes to join ThunderClan as a medicine cat apprentice. I have listened to her story and Hawkherb agrees with me. Mandy will become ThunderClan's next medicine cat! Mandy, step forward."
Mandy took a step forward and Honeystar continued.
"Mandy, from now on until you receive your full medicine cat name you will be known as Sandypaw. Hawkherb, you are ready for an apprentice and Sandypaw has decided that she wants to follow in the path of a medicine cat. Sandypaw, your mentor will be Hawkherb."
Sandypaw licked Hawkherb's shoulder and Hawkherb returned the jester.
"Sandypaw, Sandypaw, Sandypaw!" the clan cheered.
Honeystar continued, "Blizzardfur has given birth to two kits, Acornkit and Glacierkit. I will need to discuss Glacierkit's future with my warriors, he was born blind."
"Acornkit, Glacierkit, Acornkit, Glacierkit!" the clan cheered.
Brookrun knew the poor kits pain. Tomorrow she would check on the kit, maybe Honeystar would decide that Brookrun could mentor Glacierkit. Brookrun stretched in the evening sun before checking on Sandypaw to see if there was anything she could do for her sister.
A/N: Poor Glacierkit! :O Do you think that StarClan will give him some gifts so that he'll become a warrior too? Do you guys like Sandypaw? You know how to answer... give me a reveiw! And I added an updated all allegiance below :) Thanks for reading
