CHAPTER 5
"Silverpaw! Get off Sunpaw at once!" Came Firestar's yowl.
"I should kill you." Silverpaw spat at the quivering cat. "I don't care what you say about me, but leave Leafpaw and Pearlpaw out of this!"
"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan hereby exile Silverpaw in regret as she has broken the warrior-"
"Stop!" A she-cats growl rang throughout the clearing. Standing next to Silverpaw was a shimmering blue-grey warrior. She solidified, and the shimmering and the stars in her pelt vanished. She looked as if she was truly alive.
"Bluestar!" Silverpaw gasped.
"This has gone on for too far, don't you think, Firestar?" Bluestar asked, her hard eyes meeting Firestar's in challenge.
"Yes, Bluestar." Firestar dipped his head.
"I am Silverpaw's guardian." Bluestar announced. "Try to hurt her, exile her or kill her in any way, I'll kill you. I was chosen by the elite of StarClan to be Silverpaw's guardian."
"How do we know this is not a lie?" A voice rang out, and Silverpaw turned to see Sandstorm angrily hissing at Bluestar.
Bluestar met Sandstorm's eyes calmly. "This proves something, yes?"
Her eyes began to flash many colors before a white flash appeared, and a white star glowed on her forehead.
Sandstorm gaped. "I've seen that mark before!" She exclaimed. "On Spottedleaf!"
"Spottedleaf?" Firestar questioned his mate, and Silverpaw guessed Firestar was in love with the tortoise-shell.
"Yes!" Sandstorm told him. "She told me she was Leafpaw's guardian, though.."
Silverpaw finally got off Sunpaw, who ran to the medicine cat den.
"I hate ThunderClan." Silverpaw spat. "I hate you all! Only some people know how it truly feels to be an outcast! CINDERPELT!"
The young, smoky black crippled she-cat with very light blue eyes came lumbering out in a very not-so-elegant manner. "What is it, Silverpaw? I could hear you saying some bad language out there to Sunpaw. If it's about Pearlpaw, she's recovering fine."
"Of course I'm fine!" Pearlpaw snapped, emerging from the medicine cat den.
"I've got to go, I'm training with Brightheart." Pearlpaw smiled and waved her tail in goodbye to her pretty sister.
Silverpaw nodded, and raced across the clearing to where the Clan leader, Clan deputy and her best friend stood.
"Let's go." Firestar muttered.
Quickly, they raced to the Sandy Hollow.
"First, we are going to teach you a number of moves." Greystripe told the two she-cats.
"Some are defensive." Firestar added.
Leafpaw tensed her muscles.
"Watch." Greystripe told the apprentices.
Firestar launched at Greystripe, and Greystripe jumped over him.
"Looks a bit dumb, right?" Greystripe asked.
"Yep." Silverpaw commented.
Greystripe's jaw dropped. "W-Well, cats won't think and that's a valuable move." Greystripe told them.
Leafpaw nodded, always the one who wants to learn.
A few minutes later, Leafpaw was facing Silverpaw, who hissed in defiance. Leafpaw charged forwards, and Silverpaw jumped, but Leafpaw was ready and hit Silverpaw with a sheathed paw. Silverpaw.. Wow. Swiftly, her paws thundered on the floor and she flipped over, landing on her paws, panting.
"Good." Firestar complimented.
Silverpaw grinned. She would be the best warrior in Thunderclan!
Greystripe opened his mouth to speak. "Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control."
Leafpaw nodded in determination, sinking her sharp claws into the sand, which quickly scorched the earth.
Silverpaw padded to a corner of the sandy hollow, and turned to face Leafpaw who smiled up at Silverpaw. Leafpaw quickly crouched down, which raised her defenses. Silverpaw tutted.
Roaring, she 'sliced' with sheathed paws against the soft flesh of Leafpaw's underbelly which sent her flying for some reason, before Leafpaw hissed and suddenly began to run on short bursts of elecriticity, it was pummeling her energy, and actually making her faster. Static grew, and she flashed towards Silverpaw who didn't see what was coming and was sent flying across the hollow and landed with a loud crash. Not wanting to be embarrassed again, she jumped to her paws in defiance.
"Good!" Firestar nodded. "Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent."
"Well Firest-" Greystripe was cut off suddenly. Silverpaw looked at him puzzled.
Suddenly, Silverpaw sensed something, and she noticed Greystripe's mouth was open and wouldn't close. Firestar was looking at Leafpaw in congratulation, while Leafpaw stared her ground.
"Guys?!" Silverpaw shouted, and screamed. But nobody heard the pretty young apprentice.
"Best warrior in Thunderclan, ey?" A deep tom's voice purred in her ear.
"Who are you?!" Silverpaw snapped, slamming her paw onto the ground in defiance.
"I am Tigerstar."
Silverpaw's courage faded to fear for a heartbeat before it surged up again. "Father?" She asked.
"Yes." Tigerstar whispered in her ear. "But, I can train you to be the best warrior Thunderclan has ever seen."
Silverpaw's heart thumped. 'Best Warrior? In Thunderclan?' She thought.
"And your friends of course. Leafblossom and Icepaw haven't seen you in ages, and neither have I." Tigerstar whispered.
The deal was hard to deny.
"Yes, father." Silverpaw obeyed.
Tigerstar appeared in front of her. He was about three times bigger than her, his long tabby fur clinging to his build. Massive unsheathed claws clung to his paws, and they scorched the ground where he walked on. Silverpaw cringed down in fear, before a soothing dust began to enchant Silverpaw into a deep sleep.
"Silverpaw? Silverpaw! Silverpaw!" A voice shrieked. Pearlpaw's.
"Ugh." Silverpaw awoke. She opened her dark forest green eyes and a vivid but blurry vision was played out before her.
"Thank Starclan your okay!" Another voice meowed. Leafpaw.
"Let's go find father!" Silverpaw exclaimed, remembering when she was Silverkit. She had excitedly soared through the forest and through the dead leaves, and Icepaw smiling down at her.
The Dark Forest was her haven. It was evil, but she loved it.
"Eh?" Pearlpaw asked.
"All I remember is us battle training and then we were here." Leafpaw thought aloud.
Silverpaw gasped. "You don't know? Oh my Starclan!"
A purr chuckled behind them, and Silverpaw turned around in fear. "Where are you, Tigerstar?" She snapped.
"Too slow!" He snapped launching at Pearlpaw, who latched her teeth into his neck. They began to scuffle before they leapt apart circling one another. Tigerstar leaped, but when he leaped he didn't notice that Pearlpaw made a prediction. She side-stepped but he was ready, and caught her on the head and blood flowed steadily from the nick.
Silverpaw snapped and launched at Tigerstar. As she did so, a cat with stars in her pelt hurried to the clearing. She was majestic, with orange and brown markings on her tortioseshell fur.
"Spottedleaf." Tigerstar greeted, still wrestling with the beautiful apprentice, before he pinned her down. "Why don't you come and see Icepaw and Leafblossom?"
"Tigerstar." Spottedleaf nodded coldly, but in regret.
"What do you think of this pretty one?" Tigerstar purred lifting Silverpaw's chin, to which Silverpaw snapped at him for, but Tigerstar didn't take much notice.
"Release her now!" Spottedleaf snapped. "I come with permission off Starclan. Little ones, your friends have been released."
"Okay, we'll go!" Leafpaw and Pearlpaw exclaimed in relief.
"Thankyou, guardian." Leafpaw dipped her head to the former ThunderClan medicine cat.
"No." Silverpaw whispered, her eyes full of crazy hatred.
"Eh?" Spottedleaf asked, her eyes full of worry.
"No! I'm not coming with you! I'm stay with Tigerstar, Leafblossom and Icepaw!" She snapped.
"Good little Silverpaw." A familiar, alluring voice purred.
Out stepped Leafblossom, and I'm sure I didn't tell you how beautiful she was. Dark stars gleamed evily in her grey-black fur and her sky-blue eyes were softer than honey.
"It's been a while, Silverpaw." A cruel, hurt voice murmured.
Tigerstar laughed. "What are you going to do, Spottedleaf? Your a medicine cat. Icepaw could kill you with one shot of his claws."
Spottedleaf snarled up at Tigerstar, her beautiful voice twisting into one of darkness as she let out a purr. "All of you three working together couldn't touch me." She chuckled.
Leafblossom's eyes narrowed and shot Spottedleaf a look sharper than flint, all the soft gooiness gone. "Darling are you sure?" She grinned.
"Yes." Spottedleaf smirked, and looked her in the eye before a wind came into the clearing.
"Stop it, Spottedleaf!" Silverpaw cried over the gathering wind, but her voice was soon lost.
"It's been a while since I've felt this sensation.." Icepaw sighed as he leaned against the wind ruffling his fur.
A star gleamed in the sky and fell to the earth and stopped in front of Spottedleaf. It glowed, turning the shade of green-white, and fixed itself onto Spottedleaf's head.
"What the f*ck is that?!" Silverpaw heard Leafblossom snarl as she launched to face Spottedleaf.
But.. Leafblossom attacked nothing. Spottedleaf was gone. Pearlpaw was gone. Leafpaw was gone.
Silverpaw remained. She blinked, before she laughed. Spottedleaf couldn't even touch Silverpaw with her weird star thing!
"Father, mother, brother come on! Teach me! Teach me!" She pleaded.
Icepaw sighed. "Fine. ThunderClan doesn't teach you anything, does it?"
"No.." Silverpaw shuffled her slim paws, before almost tripping up.
Leafblossom blinked warmly at Silverpaw, "Come at me, Silverpaw."
"Yes, teacher!"
Silverpaw launched herself at Leafblossom, who disappeared in a flash.
Where had she gone?
She was suddenly pinned, and her head lolled to the side.
"I've just killed you. Hmm.. Now I'll move onto Leafpaw, and once she's dead, I'll take Pearlpaw, and maybe even them adorable kits, Wolfkit-" Leafblossom was cut off as Silverpaw bowled the huge cat over, and spread her limbs out to hold her in place.
"Good." Leafblossom congratulated, before moving on to another lecture. Silverpaw's thoughts wondered and why had she got so mad as soon as she said tWolfkit? It's not like she knows who she is... Maybe she should pay a vist to the nursery soon..
Silverpaw suddenly felt the flashing terrifying red pain slashing down her flank, and she gazed up.
"Don't let your guard down!" Leafblossom spat.
"Y-Yes, teacher." Silverpaw ducked her head in shame.
"Silverpaw." Icepaw's frosty light blue eyes held Silverpaw's now hard dark green forest eyes.
"Yes?" Silverpaw asked, her eyes glittering with questions.
"We are traveling to the Pool of Reborn, or otherwise known as the Pool of Eternal Forgiveness. Tomorrow, but it will take a long time."
"The legend says," Tigerstar continued, "That you must travel to the darkest corners of the Dark Forest, where a shimmering pool of molten gold and silver lay. Lick the pool, fall asleep, and your spirit will take the next available body. It's a restart. You live again, and once you become a spirit in StarClan only then will you find out how many reincarnation you have, all the memories of your past lives all together." He finished, his voice soft like he was a kit.
"We don't know if this is true, though." Icepaw murmured, his frosty blue eyes softening. "It could just be a legend, and we could be lost there forever."
"But, isn't it safer knowing? If it isn't, you can get out through me!" Silverpaw protested.
"What if we can't get out? What if we're lost there forever?" Icepaw retorted.
"Um.." Silverpaw murmured.
"Don't worry, little Silverpaw." Leafblossom told Silverpaw. "We'll be leaving tomorrow, though, so be ready."
CHAPTER 6
"Wake up! Silverpaw!" A voice raged in her mind. Muttering, she turned over in her warm moss, before freezing. She didn't have warm moss beneath her. No, the smooth surface of a rock was beneath her, and her green eyes flashed open. In front of her was a kit, no a beautiful silver she-cat, long grey striped faded into the fur, and her white tail tip was adorable. I'll tell you what else is adorable, her big, sky-blue eyes, rimmed with long eye lashes.
"Silverpaw!" She squeaked with relief.
"Ugh." Silverpaw groaned, her eyes picking up the high level of sunlight invading her eyes. "What happened?"
"You were training, and suddenly you just dropped." The beautiful kit told her in it's melodic voice. "I'm Wolfkit!"
"Hullo, Wolf-" Silverpaw's eyes widened. Wolfkit! Her forest green eyes widened as she stared at the tiny kit, who stared back with kind eyes.
"What is it? I'll get Waterkit and Spiritkit if you want!" Wolfkit asked, her eyes wide.
"I-I.. I'm in the nursery?" Silverpaw asked, and sniffed the air, yes, she was correct. The familiar smell of milk lingered in her nose.
"Yes!" Wolfkit squeaked. "Me, Flamekit, and Echokit dragged you here!"
"T-Thankyou.." Silverpaw murmured.
Flashback:
"Mummy! Don't go!" Silverkit wailed, her massive forest green eyes alight with tears, as a sparkling warrior approached.
"I'll be here forever.. Watching over you.." Rosebud whispered, before fading.
"MUM!" Silverkit shrieked.
End of flashback
"We know how much ThunderClan hates you, and Cinderpelt's come down with an illness, she'll be joining StarClan soon." Wolfkit murmured softly.
"Oh." Silverpaw sighed.
"Ah, your awake?" A kind voice asked.
"Moontail!" Silverpaw gasped. "I hardly ever see you around any more!"
A black she-cat with a white crescent moon mark on her chest and brown eyes entered the nursery and she smiled at Silverpaw.
"I heard all the commotion from Goldeneyes." Moontail informed, her unblinking eyes gazing down at Silverpaw. When Silverpaw was Silverkit and on her last few moons as a kit, Moontail had finally moved into the nursery as she was expecting kits.
Silverpaw smiled up at the kind black-pelted she-cat. "Can I stay in here for a while?" She asked quietly.
"Yes." Moontail blinked warmly. "Try to befriend some of the kits though, okay?"
"Right!" Silverpaw smiled, twitching her whiskers mischievously. She had loved the nursery, but spent so much time learning how to escape it and now she just wanted to go back into the warm nursery.
"Wolfkit!" Silverpaw called, digging further into the nursery, until she found the silver kit crouching over what Silverpaw guessed was an ant.
"Hello, Silverpaw!" Wolfkit giggled, sensing Silverpaw and she nodded. Wolfkit had extremely good senses.
"Hi, Wolfkit!" Silverpaw smiled. "W-Want to be friends?"
For a heartbeat, Silverpaw panicked, what if Wolfkit said no? What if Wolfkit hated her since she was an outcast? Wolfkit's sky blue eyes held hers for a second and she gazed into the never ending pools, "Yes!" Wolfkit squealed, and Silverpaw's heart jumped.
Now she had six friends. True friends. And maybe, just maybe, she could gain more.
"Okay.. Can you introduce me to the other kits?" Silverpaw asked, her eyes glinting.
Wolfkit's eyes glittered, and she flicked her tail for Silverpaw to follow.
They tredded their way deeper into the nursery and Silverpaw spied one or two queens dozing in content, while another glared hastily at Silverpaw.
Silverpaw's gaze clashed with the other queens, Ghoulspirit, before she turned away, to see lots of kits playing, and she gazed fondly down at them.
So far, there was Wolfkit, a she-cat, beautiful silver she-cat with grey stripe and white tail tip with sky blue eyes. She had gathered when she recapped with her near fight with Sunpaw, that a kit was watching her with light sympathy in her sky blue eyes. So she got this, her personality; actually quite a bit shy at first, but she had been understanding as well. She was playful as well. Great senses.
"Wolfkit, what do you want to be when your an apprentice?" Silverpaw asked carefully. Silverpaw had already decided she would ask every single kit this, to observe and learn more about them.
Wolfkit purred at Silverpaw and
Unwavering, she blinked. "Warrior of course!" She purred.
So Wolfkit wanted to be a warrior. Silverpaw wondered what were Waterkit and Spiritkit were going to do, the medicine cat apprentice was Sunpaw, though apparently, Cinderpelt could die soon; she had caught some unknown disease. Sunpaw could then pick an apprentice as easy as butter, but what about the other?
Wolfkit suddenly pointed her tail to a silvery white tabby she-cat with black stripes and light green eyes.
"That's Spiritkit." Wolfkit whispered, before raising her voice. "Hi, Spiritkit! I brought Silverpaw here! She wants to be our friends! With all of us!"
So that was Spiritkit Silverpaw mused.
"H-Hi, S-Sssilverpaw.." Spiritkit stammered, and Silverpaw twitched her whiskers. "Any injuries?"
"No!" Silverpaw smiled down at the small kit. She really didn't need to ask her anything, it was quite obvious she was kinda shy, but maybe there was something hiding under that shell. "Tell me, Spiritkit, would you ever consider the path of a warrior?"
Spiritkit's light green eyes met her dark green ones and she sighed. "I don't know. I want to be a medicine cat with all my heart but that mangy Waterkit..grr. She'll just get in the way!"
Silverpaw's eyes gently rested on hers. "You know even when Sunpaw gets his warrior name, he won't be able to take an apprentice, not until Cinderpelt steps down or whatever. You would have to train as a warrior first, and even if your not cut out for one, you'll have good skills to protect your Clan, and also, then you could ask to be trained by Sunpaw in the ways of a warrior cat."
Spiritkit listened intently to Silverpaw's speech, before shaking her head in stubbornness. "No! I will be a definite failure to the Clan if I train as a warrior; what if I have kits?! I won't be able to be an medicine cat. But what is it like?"
"To me.. It's the best feeling. Knowing your Clanmates support you, knowing the moves, knowing the warrior code.. It's a part of me, y'know. Even if nobody cares for me, it's my duty to hunt and feed for the Clan. It's my duty to keep ThunderClan in top-notch, as I am an apprentice." Silverpaw murmured, her eyes gazing into the distance as she told Spiritkit her views. "The sun against your bare legs warms you up and it sends tingles up your spine, the blue sky shining down upon you and the sun glittering brightly. When it turns night, the heavy air of the forest is within the night. The beautiful moon shines down the apprentice den and it's a perfect time to get your mind off things..."
"I still want to be a medicine cat apprentice." Spiritkit stubbornly told Silverpaw, to which she sighed. "Let's play a game! You can't catch me!"
Spiritkit darted towards the other kits, her paws churning forwards before she was sent flying and Silverpaw's green eyes widened. Spiritkit's lighter eyes widened in fear, before a flash was seen and her scruff was safely held by a flash of ginger with red and black flecks.
"Flamekit!" Spiritkit gasped, as she wrestled her way free. "Thankyou." She muttered.
"That's Flamekit!" Wolfkit smiled. "I used to think he had a crush on Spiritkit, but no... Well.. I don't know, but if he did he won't become her mate because she will most probably a medicine cat apprentice. He's probably going to be forever alone." She snickered.
She used her speed to quickly get next to Silverpaw and Wolfkit.
"Are you alright?" Wolfkit squeaked in dismay. (A/N: LOL)
Spiritkit was obviously stubborn, playful and was a wee bit shy at first. Fast! Lithe! Whatever! Tree! Just joking, but the first two words, fast and lithe are right.
"Yeah.. I'll never fit in." Spiritkit sighed.
"Eh?" Silverpaw asked, curious.
"I was found on the edge of ThunderClan territory, my mother had obviously been killed or abandoned me." Spiritkit muttered sadly. "I was found in A bundle of herbs, and ThunderClan took me in."
"Oh!" Silverpaw smiled. "C'mon, I wanna meet everyone else!" She squealed like a kit.
Wolfkit's tail pointed to a handsome ruffled light brown tom with a sandy chest, belly and tail tip, with darker specks on his back.
He was digging a hole in a sandy area and sand was flying, hitting a blue-grey tabby she-cat who looked up at him in irritation. "That's Echokit! He's really nice." Wolfkit told Silverpaw.
"Sorry, Waterkit!" Echokit grinned.
"No worries!" Waterkit smiled shyly.
"Hi, Wolfkit!" Echokit smiled. "Who's that? Is she a warrior?"
"Aha, no." Silverpaw laughed. "I'm Silverpaw, training under Firestar."
"Ooo!" Waterkit's wide eyes took Silverpaw in. "Any injuries?"
Silverpaw smiled down at Waterkit. "No. But I have a question."
"What?" A prickly voice snapped, and Silverpaw's head turned to see Flamekit sitting like a warrior.
"Actually, make that two." Silverpaw smiled, she liked these kits. "Number one, what do you want to be when your older?"
"You already know," Wolfkit, Waterkit and Spiritkit purred at the same time before Waterkit and Spiritkit glared eachother down.
"I will be a medicine cat!" Waterkit declared.
"No, I will!" Spiritkit announced, before they launched at each other.
"A warrior of course." Prickly Flamekit snapped, to which Silverpaw sweat-dropped.
"I kinda guessed that.." Silverpaw murmured.
"Then why did you ask?!"
"Warrior!" Echokit squealed, his tail thrashing in excitement.
"I never guessed.." Silverpaw sarcastically asked. "Number 2, will you guys be my friends?"
"Okay!" Spiritkit smiled.
"Aye!" Waterkit winked.
"Yea.." Flamekit let out a weird purr.
"Right!" Echokit squealed again. (A/n: LOL, I just realized I had an auto correct on lol and it goes to LOL xD cause I write this stuff up on my phone and he squeals a lot lol)
Ten friends. Real. Proper friends.
"Let all cats who can hunt for their own prey join here beneath the Highrock!" Firestar's voice rang out the clearing.
"What's happening?" A sleepy Moontail mumbled, and Silverpaw turned to see Moontail, lying down, her belly plump. Her tail was on her nose, but she nearly shot up in an instant if it wasn't for Spiritkit who sped there before she could.
"Easy." Spiritkit told her, definitely not acting like a kit at the moment, more like acting like a full medicine cat apprentice with her warrior name. "You don't want to hurt the kits."
Moontail blinked gratefully. "Sorry, I forgot." She gracefully smiled.
"No problem," Waterkit smiled, who was mysteriously at her side as well. For once, Waterkit and Spiritkit were not arguing, no they just looked grown up.
Silverpaw turned her head to gaze down at the small look-alike (well, kind of) who nervously shuffled her paws.
"What's wrong, Wolfkit?" Silverpaw gently murmured.
"It's my apprentice cermony today." She sheepishly grinned.
