Chapter Three
Leafpool sighed and stepped outside of the nursery; another cave in the cliff near the medicine cat den. Crowstar was sleeping in the leader's den. Leafpool was imagining what was happening back in Thunderclan; would they have driven off the badgers or were they gone? Leafpool shook her head and decided to take a walk to clear her head and calm her thoughts. She brushed past the large ferns that served as the entrance to the camp and walked through the forest. It was a quiet night for the most part; it reminded her of when she would sneak out to meet Crowstar by the stream.
"I hope I'll make a good mother" Leafpool murmured sitting down. She gave her swollen stomach a few quick licks and glanced up at the sky. If Skyclan's leader has nine lives then that must mean Starclan is here too right? Suddenly a yowl broke the quiet. Leafpool leapt to her feet startled.
"Help!" it was she-cat's yowl. Leafpool took off in the direction of the cat's yowl. A few moments later she arrived at a stream where a fox was attacking dark ginger she-cat with deep dark blue eyes. Behind the she cat were three kits probable about three moons old. The kits were almost in the stream; their mother was desperately trying to fight off the hungry fox.
"Hang on!" Leafpool yelled; she leapt onto the fox's back and dug her claws in. The fox yipped and spun around knocking her off. Leafpool landed on the ground with a loud thud and the fox bared its fangs ready to sink them into her throat but the other she cat attacked the fox. Leafpool scrambled to her feet and lashed out at the fox's hind courters. The fox seemingly having had enough struggled free and ran off; leaving the two she cats alone with the kits.
"A-are you ok" Leafpool asked the she cat; her eyes filled with concern.
"Yes; thank you; but why'd you risk your life to help me and my kits" the she cat asked sitting down her tail wrapped protectively around her three kits now all watching Leafpool.
"It's what clan cats do" Leafpool replied.
"Clan cats?" the she cat echoed in confusion.
"You know warrior cats; like Skyclan. My mate and I are creating a new clan called Dawnclan; though it's just us right now but tomorrow night we'll be holding a meeting to teach other cats about it and see if they want to be apart of our clan." Leafpool explained.
"What do you do in a warrior cat clan" the she cat asked.
"Well we look after each other. Apprentices bring both the queens and elders fresh kill and warriors hunt and fight for the clan; medicine cats heal injured or sick cats. The leader well leads the clan and the deputy is the next leader after the leader dies" Leafpool said.
"So queens don't have to hunt for themselves while they have kits?" the she cat said in disbelief.
"Yes; I'm Leafpool by the way" Leafpool introduced herself.
"I'm Flame and these are my kits; Apchersy, Seed and Raven" Flame said; she touched each kit on the head with her tail as she said their name.
"Nice to meet you Flame" Leafpool purred.
"A-are you currently needing cats for your clan; because I'm a great hunter but I can't look after my kits by myself very well" Flame said.
"You can join if you want but you'll have to learn how to be a true warrior cat and that means following the warrior code" Leafpool warned her.
"I can learn and so can my kits" Flame said.
"What's the warrior code?" Raven asked.
"It's what all warrior cats live by; it keeps the peace within a clan" Leafpool told the black she cat gently.
"You earlier mentioned a Skyclan; is that like Dawnclan?" Flame asked.
"Yes; they're the other clan; we'll meet up with them at gathering but I'll explain that later. Anyway come on I'll take you to Dawnclan's camp to meet your new leader; he's my mate" Leafpool flicked her tail at Flame as they stood up. Flame picked up Seed; who was smaller than his siblings and followed Leafpool; her other kits trailing after.
"Leafpool are you ok!" Crowstar demanded as she walked into camp.
"I'm fine; I found a cat who's willing to learn how to be a part of a warrior clan" Leafpool flicked her tail at Flame who slipper into the camp with her kits.
"Hi; you must be Crowstar; Leafpool was telling me about you and Dawnclan and how a warrior clan works" Flame greeted him.
"Hi; we're happy to have you apart of Dawnclan Flame; I hope you settle in well" Crowstar purred.
"So they'll be other cats joining tomorrow right?" Flame asked setting Seed down.
"Hopefully; but yes most likely they'll be other cats joining" Leafpool answered.
"Don't worry Flame; in a clan we'll all watch out for your kits" Crowstar said finally noticing the three kits.
"Come on Flame; I'll show you the nursery where you'll be staying until your kits are ready to become apprentices" Leafpool flicked her tail at the dark ginger she cat and led the way to the small cave beside the medicine cat den; which was also a cave but larger. Crowstar sat down and stared at the sky as the two she cats and three kits disappeared inside the nursery.
"Please let this clan come alive Starclan; please let me be able to receive my nine lives and let this be an all new beginning" Crowstar whispered.
