I am a new user so my user page doesn't have a lot of content yet. I am on the book outcast but know what happens in all the books. I have a fan story that is posted below only two chapters are complete though. I will be adding more content later.

Prologue

"Why would he pick such an idiot. He was my deputy for a reason you know" Meowed Scorchstar

"I know you well and if you picked him as your deputy I’m sure he will be fine. No reason to make such a fuss" Explained Owlfeather in a soft soothing mew.

"I know, but there is just something about that deputy of his. I must find away to help. I must talk to Thornbush tonight it is urgent" Meowed Scorchstar.

"Just make sure it makes sense....Remember the time when you got a prophecy and ended up picking the wrong cat for the wrong reason?"

"Yes of course I remember the 'A storm will come when lightning strikes'. I mean how was I supposed to know a just made warrior was supposed to be my deputy instead of a senior warrior. Storm sounded to obvious it must've been wind and lightning, was my kit that just died I didn't expect her to have a kit it made no sense. Who would've known she would Name a kit after MY kit that just died. How many lightning kits have you ever met huh?"

"It must've been confusing," Meowed Owlfeather " uh, do you agree with your choosing of your deputy or do you feel he was picked for you?"Mewed Owlfeather out of the blue.

"Uh, well I guess" He meowed glancing at Owlfeather odly. "I know if that prophecy wasn't sent to me I would've picked Windcloud but, I couldn't say no to starclan, first all you were here when that prophecy was sent down....." Meowed Scorchstar, there was a tint of confusion in his strong leader like voice.

"Okay well you were your own cat not me and we were separated and you should've done what you wanted not what I wanted you to do." Mewed Owlfeather guiltily "I just thought he would be good, because he was my ................................kin."

"What?!?!?!? Stomstar! He he use to use to be a kittypet how is that possible!!! Are you a kittypet too???

"No. I.....He is my kit...."

"But how???? Me me me" he trembled as he meowed, "and you are mates and we never had a white kit let alone named one storm!!!!"

"Before I was mates with you I mated with Bareleaf, and I was made deputy so I kinda couldn't keep my kits, and I loved you so I never wanted you to know."

"But..... I don't remember this..... How could I of not known? And he usto be be a kittypet but if he was how are you his mother? "

"When I had him Graypelt had just lost her 2 kits to greencough and she was a friend. She knew that she was getting old and couldn't have anymore kits, so when I secretley had StormStar she knew and I asked if she could pretend she found him as his mother pushed him out into the forrest and the mother left. I found some Parsley in the wild and ate it to stop my milk and nobody ever knew."

"Do you have any more secret kits that I don't know of !?"

"No the other two were dead at birth."

"Well I am going "Meowed Scorchstar.

"For how long, not very long I hope?"

"For........ever I am not coming back."

A sound came from below the clouds and Scorchstar walked towds it. Getting sucked up like a vacuum, and plummeting towads the earth turning into mist on the way there and finally being soaked into the Medicnecat's fur.

There is a big oak tree in the middle of the forest and nothing else no prey no sky no clouds not anything at all. Not a sound. *I can't feel a thing* Thinks Thornbush

Thornbush jumped at the sound of a voice, but at the same time she was thrilled that she could hear and wasn't deaf.

"Fern's cannot withstand the Scorching blaze of Risingsmoke that comes when 2 leave." Explained a cat "Do not tell this to anyone until 1 of the 2 leave and do not allow anyone to go to honeytree until S.... 1 of the 2 leave understand? I will not visit you until this happens... all of it happens now, Wake Up!" Meowed Scorchstar firmly Scorchstar then did not go back to Starclan but somewhere else somewhere where nobody would find him.

Chapter 1

In Fern clan's medicine cat den...............

"Wake up already you slumbering kittypet come on it is almost sunhigh." complained Scorchclaw.

"SUNHIGH," meowed Thornbush loudly.

She got up quickly almost falling. *Why does it feel like I took poppyseeds last night and can't get up. I know I was feeling fine....... And the only person who has access to them is Scorchclaw.*

"Um.... did you by any chance give me poppy seeds last night Scorchclaw"

"Uh you notice everything out of order don't you. I had to give them to Flametunnle he was feeling blue since rainkit died, the poor tom is the only tom I’ve seen be so interested in his kits."

"Uh...Okay because I had a hard time getting up today... and uh" "Do not tell this to anyone until 1 of the 2 leave ..........." Thornbush remembered the leader’s strong words.

"Uh how did you uh sleep, any dreams......... Any strange dreams.........."Meowed Thornbush as carefully as she could

"No, did you get a prophecy or anything, what was it?"

"Well, maybe but it is not supposed to spoken about to anyone until 1 of the..... oops just stop asking me and go collect some Coltsfoot, Juniper berries, Ragwort leaves, water mint, Yarrow and Wild garlic and bring an apprentice or two they could all do something useful for me every once and a while. Including you, stop acting like I'm your apprentice cause your mine! I've heard enough of your whining and begging. You will be punished for it Uh you will help the apprentices for one day with the elders. Now Go!"

"Sometimes I feel like you’re an elder and I'm taking care of you" Mewed Scorchclaw quiet enough for Thornbush not to hear it.


 * Fern's cannot. What could fern's be......well fern's are like thorns could it be me? Okay I cannot, okay got it. Withstand the scorching blaze of rising smoke..... Well, oh Scorchclaw and Risingsmoke, Oh obviously Risingsmoke something is going to happen with him..... But what could the scorching blaze mean... that comes when two leave....When two cat's die. Okay here it is all together I cannot withstand Risingsmoke when two die. Oh no two are gonna die.... wait maybe the two die because of Risingsmoke I must warn StormStar Immediately!!!*

The medicinecat ran out of her den swiftly racing toward StormStar's den but before it could happen Scorchclaw came running in front of her.

"I thought I told you to go fetch a bunch of stuff how could you be back so quickly. Did you bring the whole clan you lazy cat."Meowed Thornbush half annoyed half surprised.

"Um we smelled......."

"Who are we, the whole clan"

"Me, blackpaw and featherpaw, we smelled something I never smelled before like a clan cat with a horrible stench I think they were rouges." Meowed Scorchclaw

"Well, go tell Flametunnle, I'm busy with StormStar."

He stood there but then quietly left.

"May I enter" questioned Thornbush.

"You may Thornbush."

The shecat put her paws under her body, getting comfortable to give the most important speech of her life.

"He hem," the medicine cat cleared her throat, "it was a prophecy, it said that Risingsmoke is going to kill two cats and I couldn't handle it."

"Is that exactly what the prophecy said? Word for word"

"No, it said something about Scorclaw"

"Tell me exactly what the prophecy said, now."

"Fern's cannot withstand the Scorching blaze of rising smoke that comes when 2 leave."

"Well fern's could mean more than you. It could mean someone from another clan or it could mean plan old ferns. And scorching blaze of rising smoke could mean the twoleg smoke that comes from the top of their nest. Or it could mean a forest fire. And when two leave it could mean two cats leave the clan or two clans leave the forest."

"Yes but I am a medicine cat *medicine cats are smarter then you bozos!* and that is what I interrupted."

"And I am the leader and I say you are wrong and are not to speak about it to me or anyone understand?"

"Yes, and Scorchclaw wanted to tell you something about rouges or something. Oh one more thing, Scorchclaw is going to help out with the elders today." She said happy but fake.

"Okay send your apprentice in."


 * I can't believe that he would not understand what is happening right before our eyes! Ugh I have to go and get my weak apprentice to talk to him now.* Thornbush walked into her den and saw a black pelt coughing in the middle of the floor.

"Here you need to eat some honey and take a few of these Coltsfoot, wait a second where are the Coltsfoot, Oh My Starclan Scorchclaw didn't get any. I am sorry I will get you some coltsfoot in a little while for now just go relax." Thornbush remembered the prophecy and looked at the cat lying on the floor, Risingsmoke trader!. "Don’t hog all of the honey and don't rush me it is just a cough you are not going to die *unfortunately*, coltsfoot will get to you eventually."

"I,*Cough, cough* didn't mean to rush you *che ke ke ah cough he em!* sorry this must be disgusting for you I will go relax now." Mewed Risingsmoke almost choking to death before finishing the sentence.

"Now you listen to me after you almost eat all the honey," Mewed Thornbush in an explosion of furry. " Hope you feel better.." Mocked Thornbush. *That takes care of him, now he can't kill two.*

"Ah just the cat I wanted to see. A young shecat with the name Scorchclaw a beautiful cat that is a pain in my rear! Go see StormStar he wants to see your pathetic face Dismissed!"

"Okay then….."


 * I need to go to Honeytree to meet with starclan and explain myself, if my clan has no respect for my opinion then I will see if starclan is in the right state of mind.*

"Wow I can’t believe that a medicine cat would act like that I mean is that against the warrior code?" questioned blackpaw looking at her two den mates.

"I’m not sure let’s go ask the elders I need to go there soon any way," meowed featherpaw softly.

"No way, graypelt wants to rip my fur off for forgetting to change her bedding yesterday, exclaimed lightningpaw.

"I think you are all acting like a bunch of queens gossiping, medicine cats are medicine cats and what they do they do and even if It is right or wrong it is none of your business. Lightningpaw go apologize to graypelt. Featherpaw go change the elders bedding and for my lovely apprentice you are going on a hunting patrol with me and Rosepetal" meowed Grasswhisper losing his point after sating the she cats name. "Ah yes hunting patrol now let’s go meet Rosepetal over near the bush."


 * Something seems wrong here Rosepetal already has a mate…….. Oh well hunting skills focus um wait uh oh right food when everyone eats I eat oh wow it’s getting harder to focus when I’m with two losers!*

"Hi um Rosepetal patrol um let’s head to squirrel grounds we are with an apprentice and rattle sand might be too dangerous." Mewed Grasswhisper

"Okay but there are actually no snakes at rattle sand it is just a myth. Now straiten your head and hunt you don’t seem like yourself should I walk you back to camp?" Mocked Rosepetal realizing how much power she had over him.

"Yes uh I mean no Rosepetal my apologies."

"Okay and now for the apprentice Blackpaw do you know how to hunt. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t with a mentor like him."

"For your information I am the best hunter around and you and your attitude better get lost because that is not how you treat anyone."

"Ok ok maybe I was a tad rude but grasswhisper over here needs to use his head. Sorry to you blackpaw not so much you grasswhisper. Now I am in charge of this patrol and I say we go up to rattle sand. It would have the best prey in the night."

"Fine if you want to we can I’ll meet you there!" Meowed grasswhisper.

"Fine just like with everything else…. Go ahead and leave your apprentice you you piece of fox dung!"

"I sense a bit of tension here…."

"Yes sorry to say but your mentor is as fowl as mouse bile. Too bad, I will help you on your way up to Rattle sand I hope he is happy now……… Actually I hope he is miserable"

"I am a bit confused at what is going on here…… Why would you care any ways?"

"Uh, nothing just he took the big rabbit from the fresh kill pile this morning......"Rosepetal meowed uneasily.

"I might be mistaken but usually cats don't call other cat's fox dung over fresh kill. Not to be rude but somthing seems to be missing."

"No, he is just a horrible warrior, mentor, rude, and unwilling to do anything helpful or kind. I just wish that he- Ok here's the truth... But you must not tell anyone or I'll rip your fur off understand?"

"Yep"

"I am a queen now."

"What! No one knows that."

"Not yet, but Grasswhisper is the father. He refuses to tell anyone and says that he will not even act like a father to his own kits because he knows how pretective my father Stormstar is of me and will not accept it if I told him so."

"But you're gonna tell right?"

"No I cannot, he will refuse it and I will no longer be trusted by anyone. And my mate Windcloud will be devastated."

"You have to!"

"No and that's final."

Just then they saw rattlesand aswell as Grasswhisper. He snarled and spat a few words at rosepetal. He seemeed unlike the Grasswhisper she was usto.

"Please calm down Grasswhisper. We can tell my father and he will except it." Rosepetal mewed trying to sound convincing.

"You think he will be happy? You know that Flametunnle is not living up to his duties and Stormstar is going to name a new deputy eventually and he wants it to be you. But it can't if you go and tell him. If you don't tell, we can hide it."

"I will tell. Now let's hunt!" Rosepetal meowed softly yet in a way you had no reason to argue.

Once they got back to the camp everything seemed calm compared to the way Rosepetal and Grasswhisper were acting.

"Where have you been?" asked featherpaw

"Out on a hunting patrol. Well what did you catch I am starving!"

"I caugt a mouse a shrew and this nice plump rabbit."

"Aww you caught it for me, thanks" meowed featherpaw going for the rabbit.

"NO! That's for the elders. They need strength for the gathering tonight."

"Fine let me take the shrew then."

Blackpaw padded over to the elders den to find treebark and graypelt nicley talking while two kits played close by.

Graypelt turned and saw blackpaw and her face shrivled up into a scowl. "You, why didn't you clean my bedding!?"

"Calm down, that's blackpaw and lightningpaw already cleaned it."

"Oh, sorry is that rabbit for us, thankyou."

"Yes, enjoy," but before blackpaw left she thought of somthing. "Uh, do you know anything about Thornbush?"

"Of course, she was the medicine apprentice when I was a warrior. She has an intresting story. She has always been very connected with starclan but always seemed to be impossible to deal with when she got confused. She has never been able to handle others but can heal and recieve signs from starclan unlike any other. But her father came from honeyclan and her mother was a kittypet. This made everyone be cation of her. Her father decided to drop her off in the forrest cause no one would except her. Even himself, we found her as a kit and brought her in. Sadly the one who cared for her Blossomfur just died. She was also my mother."

"Wow thankyou. I better get going now."

Blackpaw padded over to the apprentices den to see featherpaw and lightningpaw. Then she saw Stormstar sit on flat stone.

"May all cats old enough to catch thier own prey gather around to have a clan meeting." all the cats gathered around in an eeriry silence

"I would like to anouce two events, first Juniperberries kits are 6 moons old. They may now recive their apprentice names and start their training. Spottedkit and Mudkit you both are good and worthy of your names may starclan accept them as an apprentice?" The clouds that were blocking the sun slowly moved away revieling a bright yellow sun shinning down. "Starclan has spoken! Mudkit-" some clouds moved onto the sun again and everyones breath stoped. " Could this be a sign that starclan does not think mudkit is ready to take on these duties? May starclan send us a sign!" As if on cue the clouds moved away and no more were in sight. " Ok mudkit we are pleased to give you your apprentice name! Mudkit you are now known as Mudpaw. I will be your mentor."

"MUDPAW, MUDPAW, MUDPAW!" everyone chanted his new name.

"Now, we still have another kit to be made an apprentice." Stormstar meowed seeming a bit shaky but not noticable to the rest of the clan. "Starclan do you accept spottedkit to be an apprentice?" Just that second a spotted butterfly flew by. " Yes starclan has spoken again! Spottedkit you shall now be known as Spottedpaw and Windcloud will be your mentor."

"SPOTTEDPAW, SPOTTEDPAW, SPOTTEDPAW!" everyone chanted her new name. But spottedpaw seemed to not enjoy it as much as her brother.

"And for the second anounment is all the cats going to the gathering tonight. They will be Flametunnle, myself, Gingertree, Rosepetal, Adderbite, lightningpaw, Mudpaw, and treebark. I am leaving Windcloud in charge." He walked over to the group of cats who were going and gave an order then walked away.

As the evening drew longer blackpaw went over with featherpaw to eat some fresh kill before setling into her nest. Then she saw Grasswhisper coming over to her. *Oh no rosepetal trouble*

" I'll be right back, hopefully." meowed blackpaw over to featherpaw as she walked away. "Yes master what do you wish of me now master?" questioned blackpaw joking yet in a way she was serious.

"Ya ya can you come on the dawn patrol tomorrow? Flametunnle asked me if I could and to bring a few others. Can you?" Grasswhisper asked but didn't look at her once, he was looking all aroun camp instead.

"Yes I guess so, can you let me get some sleep then?" Mewed blackpaw waiting to get away from him.

"Ok good, can you ask risingsmoke to go on the patrol aswell?"

"What! I-" before she could finish she relized that Grasswhisper already walked away. "Yep, sure of course."She padded over to the warriors den she looked around very unsure and felt like there were a million eyes on her. She then saw the cats from the gathering come into camp. Everything seemed normal, nobody looked frieghtend or satisfied everyone's expression was pretty much blank. Stormstar was heading toward flat stone when gingertree came up to her.

"What are you doing over here?" Meowed Gingertree "Why aren't you over with the apprentices?" she meowed softly like honey dripping down like a waterfall.

"I need to get risingsmoke to tell him that he is on dawn patrol tomorrow, but I don't know where he is."

"Are you going on the dawn patrol tomorrow?" Questioned Gingertee

"Yes but my mentor who is going with me asked me to."

"Don't worry I will let him know, you just listen to your leader and then eat and get some rest, thankyou for trying so hard I know how you feel." then she walked into the warriors den.


 * I could've said somthing back to her, like thankyou. Better go listen to Stormstar.* She then walked over to flat stone and listend.

"The gathering went well that is all." he then walked away into his den with rosepetal.


 * That was odd, did she tell him yet? Is she gonna tell him now? How well did the gathering really go?*

She padded over to the apprentices den and saw Lightningpaw and imediatlly went over to see him. "Hey lighningpaw wnat to have some freshkill?"

"Uh no I've already eaten with mudpaw."

"Ok Featherpaw do you?"

"Sure, but make it quick I need to get some sleep." They both ate and then went into the apprentice den. *I wonder where mudpaw and spottedpaw decied to keep their nest. Mudpaw was right near lighningpaw, they seem to be friends now. And spottedpaw ah she's right next to me. She tried to think of risingsmoke but sleep flooded over her. There was a big cat up in the sky and then he fell to the ground with a thud. He then talked to grasswhisper then the big cat dissapeared and grasswhisper walked over carfully. But before he made it to blackpaw someone shook her up.* It was grasswhisper.

"Dawn patrol, now." he walked away and blackpaw shook herself up. *What was up with that dream, grasswhisper and some big cat from the sky. I shall talk with Thornbush later*

She slowly got up and walked toward the entrance, she dissapeared into darkness with grasswhisper in front and risingsmoke falling behind slightly. They padded through the forrest until they got to the stream and used the stepping stones to get across, once they padded on a little more the reached thier boarder along honeyclan.Then they rescented it and kept moving along. When they reached Honeyclan's boarder, there was an odd scent, it smelled quite a bit like rouge. "Okay, it smells like somthing what is it blackpaw?" meowed risingsmoke, testing her knowledge.

"I believe it is those horrible nasty rouges!"

"Yes, but they are rouges most are horrible and nasty but how would you like it if clan cats were carigorized as horrible and nasty?"

"I wouldn't. But are we going to scent over here to show those horib- uh,rouges this is our territory."

"Let's ask Grasswhisper he is the leader of this parol."

"What, did you say I'm leader um no no." meowed grasswhisper very oddly.

"Ya the leader of the patrol. Do you think we should leave our scent and report the rouges to Stormstar?"

"Uh, ya of course." Meowed grasswhisper he seemed caught off guard. They then went along the hailclan's boarder until they had to cross a big forrest called green woods. After they went across heatherclan's boarder fine

They scented the area and headed back for camp. When they arrived Risingsmoke went to Stormstar and Grasswhisper went to the warriors den. The sun was just about as high as it could be as blackpaw walked over to the medicine cat den. She walked over and saw scorchclaw running out. "Oh hi, I was just coming out to collect some coltsfoot, would you like to join me?"

"No, I need to talk to Thronbush. Thanks anyway."

"Ok see you around." she then walked away and headed out of camp. As blackpaw went to the medicine cat den. She looked around and saw thornbush. "Hi....." blackpaw mewed awkwardly. "Can I talk to you?"

"Sure, what is it?" meowed thornbush.

"I had a dream, I think it was a prophecy."

"OK, just don't tell stormstar about it ok. Now go ahead tell me."

"Now, I have no clue what it means, but here it is. A big cat came down from the sky and went next to grasswhisper. Then he went really close to grasswhisper.Then dissapeared and grasswhisper came up to me, then I woke up." Meowed grasswhisper.

"Ok well I have no clue, just deal with it. That would be easier for me." Meowed Thornbush.

"What! what is that supposed to mean I come here and this is what I get! Nevermind, useless


 * I guess I'll just keep it to myself if no one wants to listen.* Blackpaw walked away over to the apprentice den. "Hey blackpaw" meowed Spottedpaw, "We're going to do training today, me and mudpaw are going to walk around the territory. Oh, grasswhisper was looking for you he wants you to go with him to the training land. Lighningpaw and Featherpaw are already there with thier mentors." then she padded away. Blackpaw spotted grasswhisper and headed over.

"Er, come with me." Meowed grasswhisper uneasily. They both padded in silence over to the training land; a plain with ocassinal sand here and there and patches of grass. When they got to the training land there were mingled scents of Fernclan and rouges! Blackpaw was just about to get into the heat of the fight when Gingertree came over out of breath.

She quickly mewed "Go back to camp and get some more warriors and stormstar." Blackpaw was bummed that she couldn't go and battle but she did as told and ran as fast as her limbs would alow her. She ran and ran until she hit camp. She relized she didn't have a plan for what she should do once she gets to camp. So she ran over to the middle of the camp to call out the horrific news when Stormstar came out in time. He came over and asked " Why aren't you at the training land?"

"Well ro-" Stormstar gave signal to lower her voice and she did. " Rouges are atticking the training land. I was orderd to come and get some more warriors and you. "Well Aderbite and rosepetal are on a patrol and windcloud isn't back yet from showing mudpaw around." He turned to spottedpaw and meowed " Will you stay here until windcloud and mudpaw comes back to tell them where we are? I think that will be enough to fight right/"

"Well adding you helps a bit but shouldn't we use spottedpaw and tell a queen or elder to inform windcloud?"

"It's just I don't want spottedpaw to get hurt, And juniperberry is a warrior again let's get her! Juniperberry!"

The beautiful cat came out of the den and hurried over. "Can you come and battle?"

"Yes, let's go." Without anymore argument they ran over to the land but the pace was slower then when she ran alone because of the older cats at her tail. When they reached the land only one or two rouges were spotted left and when they saw the three cats one of them fled the other looked strong and went right after juniperberry, Juniperberry quickly jumped out of the way and fell on the ground ungracfully. The rouge gave her a swipe to the muzzle and was about rake her belly when stormstar jumped up and knocked the cat to the ground. Stormstar gave him a blow to his ear and the rouge slashed at his back. Heaving with effort storstar was going after the rouges face once more when lightningpaw came up to help, stormstar backed him off and kept battling. Every cat there wanted to help but knew any attempt would be backed off. The rouge pinned stormstar to the ground and clawed his bellie afew time with his back paws. Until Stormstar lay limp. Juniperberry was on the ground as well. Rosepetal Windcloud and risiningsmoke came into the clearing and the rouge fled. Everyone surronded Juniperberry and Stormstar's bodies, Flametunnnle went to the center where the injured cats were.

"Grasswhisper and Rosepetal may you bring the apprentices back? Windcloud Gingertree, and Risingsmoke may you help me bring the bodies back to camp?"

"What! they are not dead can't you here them breathing? Plus Stormstar has more than one life. All the aprentices can run and fetch the medicine cats to help!" meowed blackpaw furious at the deputey.

"Well that is all fine and dandy, but I was bringing them back to give to the medicinecats!"

"Oh, well uh let's stick with your plan" meowed blackpaw quietly feeling embarrased and ashamed as how she spoke out like that.

As rosepetal and grasswhisper brought them over to the camp grasswhisper mewed "You can't speak ou to authority like that, but I do think it was neciserry at the time."

"Uh ok thanks?" blackpaw noticed how much grasswhisper has acted diferently since he and rosepetal were fighting. When they got back to camp everyone disperesed and blackpaw went to take a nap. When she opened her eyes she relized Juniperberry was out with everyone else waiting for Stomstar to speak. She hurried out and gathered aswell. Stormstar was about to speak when Juniperberry spoke out.

"I would like to become an elder."

Chapter 2

"Very well, it is your decision, and you are getting old but we shall miss you as a warrior." Meowed stormstar sadly. "In other news rouges attacked the training land, luckily with enough cats and a lot of bravery we made it through. I will have patrols checkng out up there soon. But first we must reward one cat for his bravery, Lighningpaw will you please step up on the stone?" Lightningpaw was not arogant at this point he was a brave and deserving warior, but blackpaw felt a bit of jelosey of he becoming a warrior when she had to sent a message. "We reward you on your bravery and courage, we now look to our warrior ancestors to give you your name. Will you chose to defend your clan with your life and up hold the warror code?"

"I do"

"Then by the power of starclan, Ligningpaw you shall be now known as Lightningstream!"

"LIGHTNINGSTREAM! LIGHTNINGSTREAM! LIGHTNINGSTREAM!"

"You shall sit vigil for the night and protect the clan." his mentor flamtunnle looked proud but also distracted. Lightningstream bowed hishead and then held it high. *Wow I can't imagine how it would be like to have my name yelled high into the sky by every cat in the clan. I can't believe he is already a warrior hmmm I wonder if he will still talk to me now that he's a warrior.* She padded over to him once everybody cleared away.

"Congragulations, I bet you'll have an aprentice before I even am a warrior. At least in six moons I'll get to share a den." mewed blackpaw awkwardly. He just bowed his head and gave her a sympathetic glance. " What! you don't even answer! I knew you would be like this once you became a warrior you you aghrgh! Just go and do what great warriors like you d-" Flametunnle came over and glared at her and then at lightningstream.

"So what do we have here? Shouldn't we let him go off and sit vigil instead of screaming at him like a kit?" Meowed flametunnle and then left.

"Oh, I'm so sorry you can uh go ahead sorry very much so." He then paded away slowly. Blackpaw then went over to the aprentices den to sleep and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. When she woke up she saw that it was almost sunhigh! How is this possible! She slept in! As quickly as she could she got up. She shoke her head and looked around for any cat. She spotted mudpaw talking to spottedpaw and lightningstream. She Padded over to them.

"Well hello there sleepy head. Maybe you should respect warriors instead of mock them. Uh ba bup just a suggestion." meowed lightningstream

She was going to call him a stupid furball but then she relized that he wasn't being arogant or sarcastic. She was prepared to apoligize.

"Lightnigstream I am sorry, I just thought you uh wouldn't change because you became a warrior. I figured you would make fun of me and act like a stu- an unlikley warrior." Blackpaw tried to meow this with a strong voice but she had a feeling it was a bit shakey at times.

"Well, I forgive you and fully understand why you would feel that way. I can only apoligize for my actions, unfotuantly I will live forever with the reputation of being nasty as an apprentice. Oh I need to go on a hunting patrol would one of you like to go with me?" Spottedpaw's mouth opend but her brother was the one that spoke.

"I would, that would be a pleasure and an honor."Meowed Mudpaw willingly. Lightningstream nodded his head and padded away as Mudpaw speeded up to follow.

"I can't believe my brother is following him around. He has no reason to plus he promised once we became apprentices he wouldn't leave my side. And why out of all the app- uh I mean warriors he picks lightningstream what is so special about him?" meowed spottedpaw disapointedly.

"I know how you feel don't worry lightningstream believe it or not usto be my uh friend you could call it. Then he became all bossy and arogant and now he seems like a good warrior."

"Well I never really knew him but I agree he seems like a very good warrior."

"I know it is quite anoying isn't it? He just became a warrior and now he acts like he is the best." Meowed blackpaw relizing that what she said wasn't completley true.

"I think he looks like a good warrior I don't find that anoying at all. It is actually really good for our clan. How could you say somthing like that?" meowed spottedpaw

"He is a good warrior and all but he can't just change over night from a rude anoying lazy apprentice to an amazing strong warrior. It doesnt make sense."
