Thunderstar dashed into Shadowstar's den, and tumbled over her. He took a big breath.

Shadowstar hissed, "What was that for? I was having an excellent dream!"

Thunderstar panted as he managed to say, "Cherrypaw got hurt!"

The ShadowClan leader stood up. "What?!"

The gray tom nodded. "Some cat must have attacked her, I don't know who though... I didn't take a sniff." He told her. He should have scented it, it was probably a rouge though, but who?

"Blueberry!" Shadowstar yelled as she headed into the Warrior's Den. Blueberry blinked a few times. "It's still night time..."

Shadowstar shook her head as she pulled him out. "No time. Some cat attacked Cherrypaw!"

Blueberry gasped. "Who would do such a thing to such a sweet cat?"

The three started to run off to the crime scene.


Cherrypaw awoke, and started to move, but the pain was just too much for her to handle. "Ugh..." She groaned. The she-cat couldn't move... what was she to do now?

Soon, a starry she-cat appeared in front of her. The apprentice grinned. "Silverpelt!"

Silverpelt smiled. "Hello, Cherrypaw." She purred, in her normal, calm voice. "I see you got quite an injury there."

Cherrypaw nodded. "And there is no medicine cats in the forest..." She sighed.

Silverpelt smiled. "Yet, Cherrypaw. Yet."

The apprentice smiled. "There is gonna be a medicine cat soon?"

"One has already been brought to the forest. The rest will come at a later time."

The brown she-cat smiled. "Yes! Can they heal me? Who are they!?"

The she-cat chuckled and sat down next to the apprentice. "They are still in training to become a warrior. They will decide they want to take the path of a medicine cat later. I cannot tell you who, though."

Cherrypaw smiled and nodded, she understood. I hope that is not me...I wanna be a leader so badly! I'm to strong to be a medicine cat. Sure, it'd be fun, but the life of a warrior is better. She thought.

"Well Silverpelt, I would love to chat, but I better get to sleep, this'll take a while to heal itself, I don't know if I'll make it." Cherrypaw told her.

Silverpelt chuckled. "That is why I was here, young Cherrypaw. You have much ahead of you, you can't afford to have this terrible wound."

The starry cat touched noses with Cherrypaw. Cherrypaw had turned starry. Was Silverpelt making her a StarClan cat?

Soon, she let go. Cherrypaw was back to normal, and all healed. She still smelled like the enemy, though.

"Thanks, Silverpelt!" She said, and licked the starry cat's cheek, though it felt like licking thin air.

The three cats, Thunderstar, Shadowstar, and Blueberry came. They gasped as they saw Silverpelt, and bowed down. Silverpelt blushed. "Oh, please."

Thunderstar ran up to her, Shadowstar and Blueberry following behind. "She's not hurt..." Blueberry said. Shadowstar groaned.

Silverpelt rolled her eyes. "I just removed her injuries. Scent her, though."

Thunderstar took a sniff. "WindClan!" He shouted.

Cherrypaw stood up. "Windstar did this to me?!"

The starry she-cat sighed and looked to the ground as she shook her head in disappointment, as she disappeared back into StarClan.

"Are you fit enough to attack, Cherrypaw?" Thunderstar asked. The apprentice nodded.

"Would you two be ever so kind, and fight with us this dawn?"

The two nodded. "We'd be honored to fight with one of the strongest Clans, Thunderstar." Shadowstar said.
"Great!" Thunderstar said. "Now, get some rest. You can sleep in our camp for the rest of the night. Remember, we are waking up very early.

The cats walked back into the camp.

"You can stay in the Apprentice's Den with me, Blueberry." The apprentice told him. The white warrior nodded. "Thank-you, Cherrypaw."

The two cats walked in the Apprentice's Den. "I have two nests, so go in whatever one you like. I like to switch it up sometimes, so that's why I have two." She told him.

The cat nodded, and went into the one nearest to him. "Thanks again, Cherrypaw."

Cherrypaw went in the other one, and the two almost drifted into a sleep, but Cherrypaw then talked about how excited she was for the battle tomorrow, that they just had to talk about it.

Thunderstar looked at Shadowstar. "Let's go to my den." He told her. She nodded as she followed him in.

They entered the small den. "Cherrypaw stays in here once in a while, if she has a nightmare, or if she just wants to stay, or something silly like that, so you can go in her nest." He told her. He walked into hers.

Shadowstar nodded. "Thanks." Cherrypaw's was a little small, but she was able to deal with it.

"Goodnight, Thunderstar."

"Goodnight, Shadowstar." The gray tom replied.

"I..." She took a big breath, then smiled. "I love you."

The gray tom quickly turned to her and saw her smile, and smiled back. "Oh you rascal." He giggled. "I love you too."

She jumped over to his nest and giggled. "Night."

"Yeah.." He chuckled.
