HI GUYS! Ciara is back! xD Thank you to Eradrin and Starsinger for reviewing! I didn't think anyone would. Anyways, it is now time for the SECOND chapter! :D
Lionblaze POV
It had been four moons since Icecloud and him had walked along the beach and confessed they loved eachother. By now, everyone knew they were mates.
Cinderheart had been ignoring him ever since. Lionblaze didn't know why. She was the one who had broken it off between him and her, so why was she so angry?!
But, in all honesty, he didn't care. Icecloud was the one he loved, and would always love, know.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here underneath Highledge for a Clan meeting." Came Bramblestar's voice.
Lionblaze yawned, got out of his nest, stretched then padded outside to gather with everyone else. He sat next to Icecloud and licked her cheek.
He suddenly felt a burning glare scorch his pelt. He turned his head. It was Cinderheart. As soon as she saw him looking she whipped round to face Bramblestar.
Lionblaze sighed then did the same.
"Cats of ThunderClan." Bramblestar started. "You are gathered here for one of my favourite ceremonies. Seedkit and Lilykit are six moons old. They are ready to be apprentices. Seedkit, Lilykit... Come forwards."
The two sisters stepped forwards, trembling with exitment.
"Seedkit." He began. "Yo have reached the age of six moons, and it is time you were apprenticed. From this day on, until you recieve your warrior name, you shall be known as Seedpaw. Your mentor will be Bumblestripe."
He beckoned Bumblestripe up with a flick of his tail. Bumblestripe looked pretty bewildered.
"Bumblestripe, you are ready to take on an apprentice. Seedpaw will be your first but I trust you to pass on all you know to her."
The pale gray warrior nodded his head. "I promise i'll do all I can to make her the best warrior she can be." He vowed then touched noses with the newly named Seedpaw. The two stepped back.
"Lilykit, you to have reached the age of six moons and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on until you recieve your warrior name you shall be known as Lilypaw." Bramblestar's eyes searched the cats gathered beneath him then mewed. "Your mentor shall be Poppyfrost."
Poppyfrost stepped up next to Lilypaw.
"Poppyfrost. You recived excellent training from Thornclaw," at this point he dipped his head to the old warrior who sat next to his sister Brightheart, "and you have shown yourself to be both skillful and brave. You will be the mentor of Lilypaw and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."
Poppyfrost dipped her head. Lilypaw and her touched noses and the whole Clan cheered: "Lilypaw! Seedpaw! Lilypaw! Seedpaw!"
Lionblaze licked Icecloud's cheek. "You'd be a great mentor." Icecloud purred and they brushed muzzles.
Once again, Lionblaze felt the scorching glare. He didn't need to turn to see who it was. He let out a barely audible sigh.
Cinderheart and him could still be friends! Why was she so angry?!
Icecloud POV
Icecloud walked through the forest, Leafpool at her side. "So why did you bring me out here?" She finally asked the Medicine Cat.
Leafpool gave Icecloud "the look" . "You know why." She mewed.
Truly, Icecloud had no idea. "What?"
Leafpool stopped walking so she did too. "Icecloud," she told her. "You're expecting kits."
Lionblaze POV
Lionblaze was peacefully relaxing a patch of sunlight when Icecloud padded into camp and over to him.
"Hi." He said, rolling over onto his stomach so he could see her face.
Icecloud looked happy, excited yet scared.
"What?" He asked worriedly. "What is it?"
Icecloud purred. "Leafpool just told me something."
Lionblaze cocked his head. "What?"
Icecloud purred even louder. "Lionblaze, i'm expecting your kits. Leafpool says they'll be here in about a moon."
Lionblaze leapt up. "REALLY?!"
His mate rolled her eyes. "Do you think i'd lie to you."
Lionblaze smirked. "Maybe."
Icecloud chuckled and licked his cheek "Sure."
He couldn't beileve this was happening. Him, a father? He couldn't wait!
Jayfeather padded up to them. "I'm guessing you heard." He mewed.
"Yea." Lionblaze replied.
Leafpool followed behind him "Purdy will be happy." She mewed
Jayfeather snorted as Lionblaze asked "Why?"
"Because he'll be able to tell them a million stories thats why." He told his brother.
"Oh," Lionblaze mewed. "Right."
Icecloud laughed.
Lionblaze felt happier then he had ever felt in his whole life. He had the best mate in the world. She was expecting his kits. He was going to be a father and he would have his own family!
Icecloud POV
A moon later she was settled in the nersury, three hungry kits at her belly.
"Two toms and a she-cat." Leafpool told her.
"They're perfect." She whispered.
"Lionblaze!" Jayfeather called out to his brother. "Your kits are here?"
"REALLY?!" Came a voice from outside.
Leafpool rolled her eyes. "Yes!"
Lionblaze came bursting in. He spotted Icecloud and their kits and his eyes went as big as the moon.
Icecloud beckoned him over with her tail. "Come meet your kits Lionblaze."
He happily obliged.
Their oldest was a beautiful snow white she-kit.
"She looks like you." Lionblaze remarked. "Just as beautiful and just as perfect."
Icecloud licked his ear then looked back down at their daughter. "What should her name be?" She whispered.
"She could be called Flowerkit because she looks so fragile but it just doesn't seem to fit." Lionblaze remarked.
Icecloud nodded then mewed. "Could we call her Duckkit? Her fur is as soft as a duck feathers."
"We can call her whatever you like." Lionblaze purred. "And Duckkit sounds perfect."
Her brother wriggled closer to his mother and started suckling with his siblings. He was the middle kit. A handsome brown-and-white tom.
Lionblaze licked the top of his sons head. "He could be called Patchkit because he has brown patches." He said and Icecloud nodded. "Patchkit it is."
Their last kit was a smoky gray, nearly black.
"That one is going to be small," Leafpool mewed, "Small but no short of spirit. You are lucky to have him."
"He looks like a crow." Icecloud mewed without thinking. "Could we call him Crowkit." She immediatly knew she'd said the wrong thing.
She was surronded by Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Leafpool and she'd thought of calling him Crowkit!
"I'm sorry," she mewed. "He can be called something else."
"No its okay," Lionblaze mewed. "His name will be Crowkit."
Icecloud was relieved to see Jayfeather and Leafpool didn't seem to mind either.
"Duckkit, Patchkit and Crowkit." She whispered. "Welcome. Welome to ThunderClan my precious children."
Right at that moment she thought nothing could go wrong.
But she didn't see Cinderheart watching outside the nersury, simmering with rage, her eyes narrowed to slits.
Something was going to go wrong.
Okay, that sucked bad. I hope you enjoyed it all the same though :) Please, please, pleasereview. Reviews make me write faster XD
