The camp was huge! The warriors den was the largest since we had over thirty warriors in the clan. The warriors den was made into an extremely large cave and had twigs and vines hanging down from the entrance to the den.
The apprentices den was also large, not nearly as big as the warriors den, but still big. It was made out of weaved brambles which were layered by feathers, moss, and more twigs to keep the den warm.
The nursery, where I was previously stuck in till I grew six moons old, was one of the smallest dens in the camp. It was underground and well protected by brambles and guarded as well.
The medicine cat den was also in a cave. It looked like it had shelves which of course were all crowded by organized herbs the medicine cats' used.
We had two medicine cats, Streamfur, a silver she cat with black tabby stripes and beautiful sky blue eyes, and her apprentice, Stormpaw, a dark gray tom with huge white paws, a black striped tail, and forest green eyes.
Now the leaders den was a place I couldn't get to without climbing a tall pebbly pathway. Darkstar was our leader, he's a black tom with big dark brown spots and dark emerald green eyes. He was a huge muscular tom. But, he has been leader for a very long period of time and his black muzzle is now speckled with gray fur.
Our deputy is young, her name is Featherclaw, she is a silver she cat with very tiny tabby darker silver stripes and amazing lake blue eyes. She's a swift powerful she cat and won't hesitate to claw your ear if you disobey her! She's short tempered, a lot like me.
Now we have a long list of warriors, right now I'm just going to list our best fighters, in other words, our senior warriors.
Birdflight I think is by far the best fighter, for now. She is a beautiful fluffy white she cat with bright sunset orange large spots that have darker ginger stripes running through the spots. She may look soft and may be sweet, but if you threaten her clan or anyone she loves and is loyal to, she will gladly rip your pelt off and use it as her nest.
Our second best warrior is my mother. I've seen her in action and I don't ever want to get on her bad side!
Our third best warrior in the clan is Shadowpelt, a black she cat with a white tail and purple eyes. She is sweet and caring, but never EVER tick her off because she will gladly rip your ears off!
Our best hunter is Grayfur, a dark gray tom with bright amber eyes. He lost both his parents in a battle and never talks much….
Our second best hunter is Firetail, an orange and yellow she cat with great big butter creamy eyes.
The third best hunter is Shadowpool, a black tom with a white head.
I stretched yawning and shaking the dust out of my fur.
Flamekit pulled a stick out of her pad and started grooming her fluffy bright orange fur.
I rolled my eyes and started licking my clumpy knotted fur muttering darkly under my breath. I pulled out rocky mud from in between my black pads and spitting the disgusting rock filled dirt out of my mouth.
I brought up my tail and sighed as I saw how disgustingly full of clumpy mud and dirt it was.
"Mom, may we go down to the river? I don't want to have to lick all this dirt!" I complained looking at her in a pleading way.
My heart sank as she shook her head. "Get used to it. All of the warriors in this clan have to clean their pelts."
I wrinkled my nose and dreadfully started pulling out the mud from my tail.
"Oh come on Dawnfeather, she is only a kit." I looked up to see Clouddust, a white she cat with light gray speckled paws.
"Do you know how hard it is to keep a white pelt clean!? I probably go down to the river ten times a sun rise!" The she cat yowled slamming her paw dramatically onto the ground.
Even though I was thankful the she cat was sticking up for me, I knew what was coming up next….
"One time, I fell into a huge mud puddle and got my entire pelt covered in mud! It took me three sunrises just to get the first layer off!"
It was one of Clouddust's dramatic long and pointless stories she somehow always found a way to tell.
Even my mother looked annoyed! She sat down and rolled her eyes looking the other way as the white she cat went on and on and on about how horrible it was not able to show off her so gorgeous pelt to everyone.
"In fact, I didn't even go to the gathering it was so filthy!"
By the time the she cat finished I was about to doze off and it was almost sun high.
"Okay, well, that was a nice story and all but we better get to bed, I'm exhausted. See you later Clouddust!" My mother meowed as she shoved us swiftly towards the nursery.
"If you don't hurry up I swear I will claw your ears!" Dawnfeather hissed and we all rushed as fast as we could.
I sighed with relief as we left the white she cat behind.
" she's so dramatic! I love getting dirty!" Flamekit meowed bouncing around the den.
"I'M SO BORED! I hate this stupid nursery so much… and I still have two moons to go." I snorted twitching my tail.
Since I had to sit through Clouddust's boring story, I was full of energy, but I couldn't go out of the camp and my mother, of course, was going to force me to take a nap.
"You silly little kit, you're getting to be the size of an apprentice already, your fuzzy fur is gone, your muscles are getting larger every day, and the nursery is crowded because your so big. At this rate you will become an apprentice at five moons old." Spottedtail, another Queen in the nursery, still expecting kits, purred. Spottedtail is a black white brown and orange large spotted she cat with bright yellow like amber eyes. She had huge paws and her tail was really fluffy, like most the she cats in the clan.
I lifted my ears, " but Ashkit and Flamekit are big too, will they be apprentices in a moon as well?" I asked hopefully.
"That my dear is up to Darkstar or your mother. But you are the biggest, so you are a for sure." The she cat meowed softly.
"Lucky! I've been dying to get out of here! Once I'm an apprentice I can actually get dirty with an excuse! And beat the fur off your pelt!" Flamekit meowed bouncing around and slightly pawing at a piece of moss.
"We both know I would shred you first! I am of course the biggest AND strongest AND fastest here!" I purred crouching down as if challenging her.
Ashkit looked at me with his brilliant blue eyes,"Haha very funny, we all know I'm the fastest! I beat you at the race in BreezeClan!" the speckled tom retorted proudly.
My pelt slightly got hot, "I had a hurt paw that day! Remember? I stepped on that thorn bush."
Ashkit slightly flattened his ears," you're not the best at everything! Flamekit's a way better hunter then you! Remember that night at-"
Ashkit was cut off as Dawnfeather placed her fluffy tail over his muzzle.
Suddenly I remembered Spottedtail was in the room as she spoke.
"You went to Breezeclan?" she yowled in shock.
"No no no, they were talking about a little game they like to play. They pretend they train in each clan and they compete in things those clans are best at."
Phew, thank Starclan my mother always has good cover ups.
