' Flashback'
Mapleshade was sitting near the nursery while watching her kits play again with Swankit, Heronkit and Mintkit. The six kits had gotten rather close to each other and spent nearly all their time together, playing or getting into trouble.
Thank StarClan for Frostfall , Birchfoot, Cedarstep and Nettlecloud. Those four are on my side even if most of the Clan isn't. All because of Appledusk and Reedshine spreading lies.
The dark brown and white tom had told what he had heard Appledusk tell Mapleshade to his sisters, Nettlecloud and Cedarstep who agreed with him that Mapleshade and her kits needed support in their new Clan. Nettlecloud was rather vocal with it , hissing and glaring at Appledusk whenever the pale brown tom visited the nursery, showing Reedshine's three kits that were now about half moon old, affection and love while ignoring Mapleshade's litter.
It's like he thinks that my kits don't exist.
Frostfall padded out of the den, looking at the kits. She purred at the sight of them having fun. " They are growing up so fast. " The white queen mewed, still purring.
Mapleshade nodded. " They are. "
Frostfall noticed the three older apprentices, Perchpaw , Scorchpaw and Vixenpaw pad into the camp, looking rather proud of themselves. Their warrior assessments will be soon. I wonder what names Darkstar will choose for them.
" I can't wait to have my first battle as a warrior. Especially if it's against foxhearted ThunderClanners. " Vixenpaw mewed, sounding excited at the thought of ripping into the enemy warriors.
" Yeah. We will be the best warriors RiverClan has ever seen. " Perchpaw nodded, lashing his grey tail.
Mapleshade noticed the way the ginger apprentice had glanced at her kits when she mentioned " Foxhearted ThunderClanners. " Does she think that I'd train my kits to attack their Clanmates because I was originally from ThunderClan? She thought, a small hiss escaping from her mouth.
Vixenpaw nodded enthusiastically. " Yeah, we will. There's no doubt about that. " She purred.
Scorchpaw nodded. " ThunderClan better beware of our claws and fangs!" She yowled, her tortoiseshell pelt bristling with excitement.
Later that day Mapleshade was sharing tongues with Birchfoot when she heard enraged-sounding yowls and screeching coming from the direction of the Sunningrocks. What's going on? Did a patrol get attacked by something?
After a few heartbeats, she heard hurried paw steps approaching the camp, and soon enough, rather scratched up looking Toadpaw, a light brown and white tom with amber eyes, who was one of the younger apprentices burst through the reed tunnel, panting slightly. He seemed to be the messenger or something. " ThunderClan... Attacked us... At Sunningrocks. Need reinforcements! " He yowled, getting the attention of Spiketail, who nodded in agreement before quickly assembling a battle patrol consisting of Birchfoot, Milkfur, Vixenpaw, Appledusk, Perchpaw, Dawnfang, Hawkfang and Scorchpaw. All great warriors and the older apprentices. Mapleshade thought, noticing how a young black she-cat with green eyes was looking at the patrol with a longing expression.
