Hey y'all, so I know this chapter is super short, but I was really rushing it to get it out before the week actually started (I had no school today). So hopefully you like it, even though it is a filler chapter. I think I may combine chapters to make them longer, but I don't know. Enjoy!


The Clan was in an uproar.

"I KNEW THEY WERE NO GOOD!" Morningshine, a normally mellow cat, shrieked.

"My kits! They'll be next!" screamed Palefoot. Glosspaw rolled her eyes. Couldn't the Clan just calm down?

"SILENCE!" Rosestar yelled, appearing out of nowhere. "Let Goldmist speak, if she can."

But Goldmist was already unconscious. Ashpaw scurried forward and helped Finchtail carry her into the medicine cat den.

"We will not attack WindClan yet," Rosestar meowed calmly. "We shall wait until Goldmist wakes up."

"And what if she doesn't?" Birchsong asked. Glosspaw refrained from hissing. Just hearing her father's voice made her skin crawl.

Rosestar looked at Birchsong with so much calmness Glosspaw couldn't believe it.

"Don't you have faith in your own daughter, or are you too focused on your other kits to care?" she said with an icy voice. Glosspaw and Stormpaw knew exactly what Rosestar was talking about, but the rest of the Clan looked confused, as they thought Rosestar was talking about Glosspaw and Stormpaw. Birchsong looked shocked for a moment but immediately regained his calm. He sneered and walked away, towards the nursery. It was like the Clan was blind. Birchsong wasn't even trying to hide his affair with Palefoot anymore, but no one noticed.

Idiots, Glosspaw thought. But there were much bigger problems to worry about.

"Where do you think Ravenpelt and Petalheart are?" Glosspaw asked Stormpaw.

"I don't know," he said thoughtfully. "But knowing WindClan, they probably catnapped them."

"For sure," Glosspaw agreed, but her mind wasn't focused on WindClan. Instead, she was thinking about what Rosestar said about Stormpaw, and how he was her kit. And how he put his tail around her when she was trapped in the ShadowClan camp. Cut it out, Glosspaw! What on earth are you doing? You are an apprentice! You're not supposed to be thinking of love and especially not forbidden love! she thought.


Oakpaw POV

"Oakpaw!" Quailpaw called.

"What?" he said. He had his final assessment last night, and after that he and Quailpaw snuck out of camp to spend some quality time together before their warrior ceremony. Needless to say, he was exhausted.

"Come on, our ceremony is starting soon and you're late!" she shrieked. "Come on, come on, come on! Hurry up!"

"I'm coming," he groaned. As he opened his eyes, he was surprised that the sunlight wasn't as bright as before. He stood up and stretched his muscles, yawning widely. Quailpaw quickly groomed his pelt for him. He purred and gave her ear an affectionate lick. He was so lucky to have such a beautiful, kind, and smart she-cat as his mate.


"I, Thrushstar of ThunderClan, call upon StarClan to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the warrior code. Do you, Oakpaw and Quailpaw, promise to uphold the warrior code and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," they both said at the same time.

"Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior names. Oakpaw, from this day forth you will be known as Oakfrost. StarClan honors your courage and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Oakfrost licked Thrushstar's shoulder respectfully, not able to contain his excitement. He then went off to sit by his mentor, Silvermoon.

"Quailpaw, from this day forth you will be known as Quailpelt. StarClan honors your intelligence and speed, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Quailpelt was shaking as she licked Thrushstar's shoulder, and she hurried off to sit by her mentor, Brackenfoot.

"Oakfrost! Quailpelt! Oakfrost! Quailpelt!" the Clan chanted. Oakfrost leaned over to where Quailpelt was sitting and whispered in her ear, "We made it!"

The look Quailpelt gave him was worth a thousand suns.


Hopefully having Oakfrost's POV (haven't seen him in a while) was worth the wait? no? oh well. Please review, and if you haven't already, favorite and follow my story as well. I would really appreciate it!

Love, Gloss
