Chapter One: PaleStar hopped up onto the High Rock. "Let all Cats old enought to catch their own prey gather her beneath the High Rock for a Clan meeting!" He yowled out to his Clan. "What'sgoing on?" TimberTail whispered to WhisperFoot."My guess is that we're fixing to get three new apprentices." She rasped with a rumbly purr. The Clan quickly gathered in the clearing. RedTail, ThunderClan's Deputy sat near the High Rock and watched his three kits tumble out of the nursery after their mother, SilverPool. She sat down behind the three kits as they sat in a straight line. SilverPool let her tail wrap around the three kits, pulling them closer to her. Sadness but also pride shone in her hazel eyes. RedPelt quietly moved past his Clan-mates and sat beside his mate. "I've been waiting for this day since the moment they were born." He purred, rubbing his cheek against her's. She pulled her head away from WillowKit, who was only a second ago struggeling under her mother's powerful licks. "So have I. In more ways than one." She sighed. It was hard to believe that they were born only six moons ago. "I wish they could stay little forever." SilverPool wished quietly and picked SageKit up by his scruff to begin cleaning. RedPelt's heart hurt for his mate. He didn't know the pain that she was going through, he was glad that they were becoming apprentices. "Yes, but if they did we wouldn't have warriors to protect us." He thought. About the time that SilverPool had all three kits well groomed and neat looking PaleStar began to speak. "Six moons ago SilverPool and RedPelt introduced the Clan to three new kits. The Clan is very greatful to have a healthy litter since the last two that we have had has gone to walk with StarClan at an early age." PaleStar stopped speaking, his throat dry with grief. It was always hard to lose new kits. But it was even harder for the ThunderClan Leader sinse the last litter was his mate's and his. He closed his eyes and paused for a moment of silence. He opened his eyesback up after sending a short prayer to StarClan. "The oldest she-kit was named WillowKit after RedPelt's sister, WillowStep who dies in a battle protecting her Clan from a dog. She was brave and she has obviously passed on her strength and agility to this young she-kit. WillowKit, from this moment forward, untill you earn your warrior name you will be known as WillowPaw." PaleStar said lifting his head up in approval. "You're mentor shall be BlackClaw. Even though he is a young warrior he has earned his name in the most honorable way that I know of. He is our best fighter and know's right from wrong and I hope that he will pass his knowledge onto you." BlackClaw's ear pricked as he heard his name be called to recieve his frist apprentice. He padded through his Clan-mates to her. He towered over her, so he bent his head down to touch noses with her. WillowPaw stretched up on her toes to touch her mentor's nose and when she met him they seemed to click. She couldn't wait to start her training. She would be the best apprentice the Clan's ever seen! "Next would be SageKit. He's a pawful and always looking for something to do. Whether that's annoying the senior warriors or listening to battle stories in the elder's den." PaleStar purred. "SageKit, from this point on until you earn your warrior name you'll be known as SagePaw and your mentor shall be IceFace." IceFace stood up, his dingy white pelt sleek on his built muscle. This would be his second apprentice and that would mean that he was now eligiable for the Deputy position. He had been trained in the Dark Forest as an apprentice and was taught well. He is still learning new move's from his mentor in his dreams, moves that he would teach to his new apprentice, and would hopefully be used on RedPelt. He walked strongly past everyone and stood beside his apprentice. Anyone who knew him thought that he was a loyal Clan warrior, everyone except RedPelt. He knew the truth, and that could get him killed. IceFace sat down beside SagePaw and noted how he acted, he wouldn't let him go soft or weak. PaleStar watched as the last kit squirmed with anticipation. "And the last but certainly not least, FernKit. She was born with WhiteCough and spent her first few moons in the Medicine Cat's den. She has grown strong and willing to do all most anything asked of her. Any cat would be lucky to have her as an apprentice. FernKit, from this moment till you earn your MedicineCat name you will be known as FernPaw." FernPaw's eyes glimmered. She had hoped that she would be a Medicine Cat one day, and now it was coming true! She had memorized the herbs in FeatherWhisker's den as a kit when she had nothing else to do. She had also assisted FeatherWhisker when she was cooped up in her den with her. FernPaw raced over to her Mentor and touched noses with her. She couldn't wait till she started her Medicine Cat training. PaleStar jumped down from the top of the High Rock and let his Clan celebrate. "WillowPaw!SagePaw!FernPaw!" The Clan yowled loudly three times then went to congradulate the three new apprentices.
