Second chapter of the day! Woot woot!

Reply to reviews:

Soft Shadows- That's fine, it's only a minor mistake. Petalfire is now a FireClan cat! :)

Skyfeather- I'm sorry D:, I forgot to explain that. Shadowstar is having kits and can't do much running, meaning if she saw the kits she couldn't follow. Though while they were gone she still did tell Firelight, that was why the Queen greeted them so quickly. She was waiting right at the entrance for them X3. And Shadowstar is a calm cat, she understands the nature of kits and how they love exploring, and anyways, they were near the time of Apprenticeship so it didn't matter much if they were told to not leave again. Since they'll just be allowed after not long after. I hope that cleared everything up! Sorry for forgetting to explain that!

Emberclaw- Okay! I'll make sure to use her when Shadowstar has her kits! And, I was just about to plan on the making of Apprentices from the four kits, just for the past while I was figuring out who would train the kits. And yeah, Firelight is sorta like Ferncloud X3, never realized that much.

twinkleestar1801- Sorry I got confused XD, and, I'll be doing stuff like that more often when Shadowstar's litter comes because they'll be important X3

To help out...:

When creating your own OC'S, you can use this site to see how the OC will turn out! Because, some people make a character with some crazy color (not throughout the reviews, this happened with my friend :P) and they didn't understand it till they made the cat in this creator thing:

www. doll divine create-a-cat. ph p (Delete the spaces. Search in google or bing, not in exact web page site thingy, it took out the search format word.)

If you want, you can even send me a link to the picture! It'll be easier for me to understand, anyways.

Have fun!

I'd like to thank Emberclaw for adding NightClan's Return to her favorites!

It had been a moon now, and Skyleap's kits were at the age of six moons.

Shadowstar sat outside her den, her tail whisking along the ground as she watched Gorsekit pass by the Medicine cat den with no interest to even smell the herb scent. She sighed, life felt like a drag for her Clan. Nothing happened anymore, that was exciting, or calming. Everyone seemed sad at the change in Clan life, except for Dragonfeather, who didn't seem anywhere near the emotion sad. He was more... Conflicted.

With a huff, Shadowstar leaped onto JaggedPeak, her belly weighing her down a little.

"All cats old enough to see in the dark, gather under JaggedPeak for an annual ceremony." She called out, watching as the Clan cats slowly grouped under the jagged boulder she sat upon, her fur bushing out. "We have four kits with us today that have reached their sixth moon." Shadowstar meowed loudly, turning her ice blue gaze onto the four kits that watched from the entrance of the Nursery with wide, joyful eyes. "Rainkit, Cougarkit, Finchkit and Gorsekit. Please step forward." She began.

"You all have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, Rainkit, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Rainpaw. Your mentor will be Cloudfire. I hope Cloudfire will pass down all he knows on to you." Shadowstar meowed and beckoned Cloudfire over. The newly made mentor bounded up to Rainpaw and tapped his nose with hers, before sitting down beside the new Apprentice.

"Finchkit, from this day on until you receive your Warrior name, you will be known as Finchpaw. Your mentor will be Spottedfur. I hope Spottedfur will pass down all she knows on to you." Shadowstar meowed again. Spottedfur stood up from the crowd and leaned over to Finchpaw, touching noses with her Apprentice before settling down together.

"Cougarkit, from this day on until you receive your Warrior name, you will be known as Cougarpaw. Your mentor will be-" Shadowstar paused, searching the crowd of cats for the Warrior. "Dragonfeather." She smiled and continued. "I hope Dragonfeather will pass down all he knows on to you." She finished. Dragonfeather bounded over, eyes wide when his name was acknowledged. He touched noses with his Apprentice, who in fact was grinning with delight, and sat down beside him.

Shadowstar sighed sadly, realizing what part in the ceremony she had reached now, before continuing on. "Gorsekit, from this day on until you receive your full name, you will be known as Gorsepaw. Your mentor will be..." Shadowstar trailed off, anger pulsing in her chest at the sadness that she had to devote Gorsepaw to being, what he didn't want to be. "Heatherfoot." She murmured softly. Firelight smiled from behind all the other cats, she seemed happy, but only because her kit was now safe from the dangers outside of the Clan.

"What!" Finchpaw's yowl of dismay sounded from under JaggedPeak. "That's outrageous! He's my brother, he wants to be a Warrior!" She snapped in disagreement with Shadowstar's decision.

Firelight shook her head and trotted over. "I'm sorry, but due to your litter mates blindness, I will not allow the fact of Shadowstar making him a Warrior Apprentice." The Queen frowned at Finchpaw's anger.

Shadowstar watched silently, unsure of what to say that would settle down her Clans yowls of outrage.

"I want to be a Warrior! Not a stinky Medicine cat!" Gorsepaw growled loudly. "I'm the same as my litter mates, it makes no difference!" He protested. Cougarpaw nodded. "Gorsepaw is right! He can smell way better than any of us, that has to be something, right?!"

Rainpaw skittered to Gorsepaw's side. "Maybe this is for the better." She squeaked. Gorsepaw growled and turned on her. "I don't want to be a Medicine cat!" He spat angrily.

"Wait! Hold on." Shadowstar called out. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Gorsepaw. Firelight did not want you to be a Medicine cat." She frowned. "But okay. If it is your desire, I will allow you to be a Warrior Apprentice."

Gorsepaw beamed from underneath JaggedPeak, his ear flicking in acceptance.

Firelight hissed madly from where she stood. "I will not allow that! Who cares what Gorsepaw says, its for his safety! Shadowstar stop being a mouse-brain!" She snarled loudly.

Shadowstar sighed. "I know what I'm doing." She meowed before continuing. "Gorsepaw, from this day on until you reach your Warrior name, you will be known as Gorsepaw. Your mentor will be... Willowfeather." Shadowstar called aloud the half blind she-cat, that had been scarred badly on the eye when Blackpaw attacked her. "I hope Willowfeather will pass down all she knows on to you." She finished and leaped down into her den.

The Clan cheered the new names happily. "Rainpaw! Finchpaw! Cougarpaw! Gorsepaw! Rainpaw! Finchpaw! Cougarpaw! Gorsepaw!" They chanted.

Though Gorsepaw was frowning, he was stuck with a weak cat, a cat with a bad representation in the Clans. Now he'd be trained, but badly. "I'll show them. Being blind isn't bad for me!" He vowed to himself, eyes narrowed.

"Come on, Gorsepaw. We're leaving on a tour of the territory." Willowfeather's call broke into his thoughts. The other newly made Apprentices neared him as well, their pawsteps sounding. They were joining in too by the sound of it.

"This will be so cool, Gorsepaw!" Finchpaw chirped from beside him. "What do you think we'll see?" She asked.

"I don't see things." Gorsepaw muttered. Finchpaw grimaced. "Right. sorry..." She trailed off and bounded towards the others.

Gorsepaw padded after the others, ignoring the noises from his surroundings. Instead, he smelled the outside world, it had all been a rush when he left for the first time in their game of chase. Things would have been different if he wasn't blind.

Things would have been better.
