Prologue

The moon slowly rose above the horizon, and the trees cast dark shadows over the ground. A black and white she-cat slipped into place just above a hill. Paw steps echoed behind her, and the she-cat glanced back. A russet colored tom shouldered beside her, looking down. He drew his lips back.

 

"ThunderClan and WindClan arent there." He growled, his eyes mere slits.

 

"They will get here, Fishdapple." The she-cat meowed, authority heavy in her voice. "Lets go." She pelted down the slope. Her Clan followed behind her. As they mingled with the only other Clan, ShadowClan, the she-cat jumped onto a rock, dipping her head to the other leader.

 

"Hello, Slystar," The she-cat meowed. "how is ShadowClan?"

 

"Prey is well, Marshstar," Slystar meowed, though her voice was curiously guarded. "and Riverclan?"

 

"StarClan is good to us." Marshstar replied. She sat, wrapping her black and white tail around her paws, her fur swishing into place neatly. A yowl sounded above the slope, and Marshstar looked up. "ThunderClan are here," She meowed, her eyes narrowing. Sure enough, a white tom leaped onto the rock, his light green eyes glowing, reflecting the rising moon. "Hello, Marshstar, Slystar," He meowed.

 

Marshstar nodded, though her amber eyes were narrowed. "Jaggedstar," She meowed coldly, her eyes glittering.

 

Jaggedstars eyes glittered right back, and he turned his head as a yowl echoed through the trees. "Swiftstar is here." He reported as he stood, tail up in a greeting. Swiftstar leaped onto the rock, his white and gray dappled coat familiar to Marshstar as he padded to them.

 

"Let the gathering begin!" Marshstar yowled, silenting the talk of RiverClan, ThunderClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan. She paced to the front of the rock. "Prey is well in RiverClan, and our queen, Wrenflight, has had two kits, Mistykit and Bluekit!" She yowled. The Clans murmured happily, tails waving, but RiverClan looked proudly at eachother.

 

Jaggedstar swished his tail and stepped forward. "Prey is low since Leaf-Bare, but hopefully New-Leaf will bring more prey," He meowed. "And we have a new deputy, Rillheart." He meowed, then cleared his throat. "Also, some of my warriors chased a fox out of our territory. It appears to be headed towards WindClan. My apology, Swiftstar." He added.

 

Swiftstar looked at the leader. "We thank you for sharing this news, but we dont thank you for sending a fox to us." His eyes glittered with humor, and Jaggedstar let out a purr of laughter. "Prey is well in WindClan." He added to the Clans below. "However, badgers have made a home in our territory, and we hope to drive them out soon." He meowed.

 

Finally, Slystar, who had waited patiently, stepped forward, her eyes calm. "Prey is well in ShadowClan, as New-Leaf has arrived at last." She meowed. "However, we have seen more kittypets around now that the weather warmed up, and they cant seem to get the hint that they should stay in there own gardens." She meowed, unsheathing her claws.

 

"Yes," Jaggedstar agreed. "They snuggle in they're cozy nests at Leaf-Bare, and at New-Leaf they forget the forest is ours."

 

Marshstar nodded, then jumped down from the rock, her eyes glowing. "Farewell, Jaggedstar, Slystar, Swiftstar. We shall meet again soon." She nodded farewell before signaling to her Clan to follow. As the Clans headed they're seperate ways, Marshstar began to run to her own camp, the wind whipping her whiskers to her face, and her Clan running behind her.

Chapter 1.

Mistykit felt a small paw poke her, and peeked her eyes open. Bluekit was standing over her. Heaving a large sigh, the gray she-kit pushed her sister away, closing her eyes.

 

A paw poked her again.

 

"Stop it, Bluekit!" Mistykit whined, blinking her eyes open.

 

"I wanna play!" Her sister meowed, her large amber eyes pleading.

 

Mistykit sighed again. It had been a whole moon since she had been born. She had met nearly every cat in RiverClan, even her father. She had gotten in trouble for putting a beetle in Firekit's nest at night, her way of expressing she had feelings for the russet tom, but instead she had to sit in her nest that day. Now Mistykit pushed herself to her paws and sat up. "Okay, Bluekit," She meowed, "What do you want to play?" Its wasnt that she hated playing with Bluekit, she was just in the middle of a nap.

 

"Mossball?" Bluekit suggested.

 

Mistykit perked up at that idea, her eyes gleaming. "Okay!" She agreed. She scampered over to a mossball and tossed it to Bluekit. Bluekit caught it and threw it. Mistykit crouched, her eyes fixed on the moss ball. She leaped, grabbing it in her claws and tossing it back.

 

"Yay!" Bluekit squealed, leaping to catch it, but it sailed right over her head and bonked Wrenflight in the head. Wrenflight stirred, blinking open her eyes in surprise.

 

Mistykit backed away, stifling a mrrow of amusement as her mother sat up.

 

"Okay," Wrenflight meowed, her eyes gleaming with laughter. "who threw that?"

 

"Me!" Mistykit purred, rolling onto her back and grabbing her mothers front paw.

 

"Okay, little one." Wrenflight smiled. "Would you guys like to go out of the nursery and get some fresh air?"

 

"Yes!" Bluekit meowed, heaidng for the entrance.

 

"Wait up!" Mistykit hurled after her littermate, scampering out of the nursery. She tumbled across the warm Green-Leaf grass, her blue eyes wide with pleasure.

 

"Hello, Mistykit," The light mew behind Mistykit made her jump and turn. Snowtuft stood in front of her, her thick white fur glowing, her eyes calm, and kind.

 

"Hi Snowtuft!" Mistykit squeaked, looking up at the medicine cat.

 

"How are you? Practicing battle moves?" Snowtuft purred, her eyes soft.

 

"Yes," Mistykit grinned slyly. She had grown to love her mothers sister much. They spent time together, playing, having fun, and occasionally Snowtuft showed her some secret battle moves. She loved Snowtuft as her aunt.

 

"Good." Snowtuft purred, eyes bright with pleasure as she watched Mistykit leap and grab a butterfly.

 

Mistykit pinned down the butterfly, let it fly away, and turned to her aunt. "I cant wait until i become a warrior!"

 

 

The moon snowly went down. Mistykit sighed, pushing the rest of her half-eaten pike away from her. Bluekit closed her eyes and began to snore. Mistykit yawned, then tucked her paws under her. Another moon had passed, and Mistykit was now two moons. Four more moons, and she would become an apprentice. She couldnt wait! The gray she cat rolled onto her back and closed her eyes.

 

 

"Mistykit," Wrentflight nudged her daughter. "Wake up,"

 

Mistykit blinked open her eyes and yawned. She must have fallen asleep last night, when she had eaten her pike with Bluekit. She yawned again and pushed herself to her paws, her blue eyes drowsy. The young she-kit stood, stretching her small legs. Suddenly her ears pricked, her eyes widened. Paw steps echoed through the camp, and almost every cat in the cleairng turned to stare at the entrance as a light gray she-cat, Amberbright, burst through, her eyes wide.

 

"ThunderClan are trying to take Sunningrocks!" she gasped.

Chapter 2.

 "ThunderClan?" Marshstars voice was sharp as she bounded forward. "Are you sure?"

 

"They're practically swarming over the rocks!" Amberbright insisted. Marshstar looked thoughtful. Mistykit tipped her head.

 

"Amberbright, take Moonbeam, Dapplepelt, and Starkpaw, and meet them. I'll lead a second patrol for back up." Marshstar meowed, narrowing her eyes slightly.

 

"Yes, Marshstar," Amberbright nodded to Moonbeam, Dapplepelt, and Sparkpaw, who followed her out of camp.

 

"Can i come?" Mistykit asked, padding forward.

 

"No." Marshstar meowed. "Kits stay in camp." She signaled with her tail to Whiteowl, Fishdapple, and Eagleclaw and pounded out of camp.

 

"Will everything be okay?" Mistykit asked her mother.

 

"Yes, dear." Wrenflight soothed, licking Mistykit between the ears. "I promise."

 

 

Mistykit sighed. Another moon had passed, but slowly. It was now Leaf-Fall. Mistykit was three moons old now. She licked her lips and rested her head on her paws.

 

"Hey, Mistykit!" Firekit called to her. Mistykit looked up. "Wanna play Clan?" Firekit asked.

 

"Sure!" Mistykit meowed. Her sister was already over there, and Mistykit padded over. "Im Fireblaze." Firekit meowed. "Songkit is Songpaw, Bluekit is Bluesnow, and you can be Mistystar, the leader." He nodded to her. "Im the deputy."

 

Mistykit was happy that her crush had given her the role of Clan leader. She nodded. "Okay, Fireblaze." She purred in amusement. Firekit purred softly and smiled. Mistykit leaped onto the rock that they used to play Clan. "Let all cats old enough to swim gather to hear my words!" She meowed.

 

Bluekit, Songkit, and Firekit rushed over.

 

"Songpaw." Mistykit began, "you shall be known as Songheart! StarClan honors your courage and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan!"

 

Songkit purred and purred.

 

 

Mistykit sat in the den. Two moons had passed, and tomorrow she would be six moons. She would be an apprentice. Firepaw, and Songpaw had been made apprentices, with Fishdapple to mentor Firepaw, and Lillypad to mentor Songpaw.

 

Mistykit wriggled with excitement and fell asleep, dreaming about being an apprentice at last. As her thoughts drifted, she felt calmness spread through her, and fell into contented sleep.

Chapter 3.

 "Mistykit, step forward." As Marshstar called her name, Mistykit stepped forward happily, her eyes bright. She trembled with excitement. It was her and Bluekits ceremony!

 

"Mistykit, from now on you shall be known as Mistypaw." Marshstar meowed, her eyes scanning the Clan to find a mentor. "Amberbright." She meowed at last. "You will mentor Mistypaw."

 

Mistypaw felt her heart thud in her chest as she stepped forward and touched her nose to Amberbrights, her eyes shining.

 

"Dont worry," Amberbright whispered. "I'll teach you all i can."

 

Mistypaw purred deeply and smiled.

 

"Bluekit," Marshstar beckoned Bluekit forward. Bluekit stepped forward, her eyes wide. "Bluekit, from now on, you shall be known as Bluepaw." Marshstar went on. "Eagleclaw," She meowed. "You will mentor Bluepaw."

 

"What will we do today?" Mistypaw asked Amberbright.

 

Amberbright smiled. "Hunting practice." She meowed. Mistypaw purred in excitement as her new mentor led her out of camp.

 

 

Mistypaw yawned. It had been a tiring day, but she had caught a fish! She stared proudly at the pile, which held a fat pike. She smiled and looked up. The sun was still up. She hurried to the medicine den.

 

"Snowtuft?" She called uncertainly. Snowtuft poked her head from the den. "Yes-oh, Mistypaw." She smiled. "How are you? Enjoying training so far?"

 

"Yes." Mistypaw smiled. "I need some fresh moss from your store for the elders den."

 

"Comeing right up!" Snowtuft purred and vanished into the den, returning a moment later with moss in her jaws. 

 

"Thank you!" Mistypaw purred, taking the moss and blinking gratefully.

 

"Your welcome!" Snowtuft replied.

 

Mistypaw turned and headed toward the elders den. Tinyfoot looked up. "Oh, hello, youngn'." she meowed.

 

"Hello, Tinyfoot." Mistypaw purred as she began to replace the fresh moss with the old one for the croaky old elder.

 

Tinyfoot smiled softly as she finished. "Thank you," She rasped, getting into the nest.

 

"Anytime, Tinyfoot." Mistypaw replied. "Got any ticks? Fleas?"

 

"I do have a flea on my back," Tinyfoot admitted. "I cant reach it."

 

"Ill get it." Mistypaw had been working very hard that day. She padded to Tinyfoot and sat down behing her. As she found the flea, she nipped it, and it fell dead to the ground.

 

"Thank you." Tinyfoot sighed, tucking her nose under her paw.

 

Mistypaw smiled and crept from the den.

 

 

Chapter 4.

 Mistypaw woke up, pushed out of the den and looked around. Amberbright was waiting in the middle of camp. "Mistypaw!" She called.

 

Mistypaw swiveled her head around and padded over. "What are we doing today?" She asked.

 

"Im going to show you the territory." Amberbright meowed. "Follow."

 

Mistypaw followed eagerly, her eyes bright and curious.

 

 

The sun was lowering by the time Mistypaw and Amberbright returned.

 

"Mistypaw!" Wrenflight bounded towards her. "You might get to be in your first battle!"

 

"Really?" Mistypaw meowed excitedly.

 

Wrenflight purred, nodding, and turned to Amberbright. "Is she ready?"

 

"Yes." Amberbright broke into a purr. "Shes a quick learner. We practiced battle moves yesterday."

 

"Alright, come on." Wrenflight turned and pushed into camp. Mistypaw followed, followed quickly by Amberbright.

 

"...So tonight, we take back Sunningrocks!" Marshstar was yowling. The Clan cheered in approval. "The cats going on my patrol will be: Eagleclaw, Fishdapple, Songpaw, Firepaw..."

 

Mistypaw leaned forward.

 

"...Mistypaw and Amberbright..."

 

Yes! Mistypaw nearly leaped in excitement.

 

"..Dapplepelt and Wrenflight. The rest, guard the camp!" Marshstar leaped from the Streamstone and padded to the camp entrance, flanked by the others. Mistypaw padded forward, tail up. They padded in silence. When they reached Sunningrocks, Marshstar jumped up, along with the others.

 

Mistypaw followed too. They lined up, Mistypaw beside Amberbright, as they were faced with a fair amount of ThunderClan warriors.

 

"Marshstar!" Jaggedstar growled, drawing his lips back in a snarl. "These rocks are ours!"

 

"Never!" Marshstar retorted, drawing her own lips back to reveal sharp teeth. "RiverClan, attack!"

 

Mistypaw lunged for a ThunderClan apprentice, drawing her lips back in a fierce snarl as she gave him a bite on the shoulder. He yelped and kicked her away, drawing his lips back.

 

"Fish-Breath!" He taunted.

 

"Mouse-heart!" Mistypaw retorted, lunging again. She tripped him with her muzzle while she dug her claws into his flank and raked them across. He squealed in agony as Mistypaw pinned his muzzle to the ground with one paw, the other shredding his flank. "Please, let me go!" The tom apprentice pleaded. Mistypaw released and he fled towards his border. Mistypaw turned and lunged for a ThunderClan warrior.

 

"You little..!" The warrior turned and growled, but Mistypaw clamped her jaws on his tail. He yelped. then knocked her away with a heavy blow. She landed with a thud on her side as the warrior stood over her, raking her stomach. She hissed in pain.

 

"Stop it, Snake-Heart!" Mistypaw heard a yowl, and a flash of russet fur smashed into the warrior, knocking him off of her and making the warrior squeal. Firepaw! Mistypaw thought. Firepaw tripped up the warrior and turned to her. "Bite him!" He meowed. Mistypaw lunged, aiming for the warriors ear. She clamped her jaws firmly around it hard. The warrior screeched in pain, trying to get away. Mistypaw released and he fled, tail tucked.

 

"Thank you." Mistypaw mewed shyly to Firepaw.

 

"Anytime." Firepaw meowed. Was that love in his eyes? He turned and lunged for another warrior.

 

Mistypaw leaped back into the battle, her eyes bright.

 

 

"What a battle!" Mistypaw meowed. They had one, ThunderClan had retreated. Now Mistypaw was in the medicine den with Snowtuft, who was patching up the wounds Mistypaw had recieved. Mistypaw was telling Snowtuft all about the battle.

 

"Im sure it was great." Snowtuft purred. "There, all done."

 

Mistypaw stood. "Thanks, Snowtuft!" She called, and raced out of the den.
