Warriors: Call Of StarClan

Chapter 5

   Willowpaw was whispering quietly with Softpaw, not wanting to disturb the other apprentices from their sleep. Then, Goldenpaw started to move. Softpaw dashed over to him and loudly asked, "Ready to go?" Goldenpaw yawned, then bolted upright seeming to suddenly register what Softpaw had just said. "Yup." "Follow me then. Flametail, Leafheart, and Smoothfur are meeting us in the center of camp to guard us, on our tour." Willowpaw put in excitedly. As they walked out of the den, Willowpaw could see Leafheart, Smoothfur, and Flametail standing in the middle of the clearing, waiting patiently for her and the others.

"Oh, so these are ThunderClan's newest apprentices! How much have you learned from ShadowClan?" Leafheart stated with a curious glance.

"Oh, well, we learned to cross the Thunderpath, how to hunt, and... that's all. ShadowClan's not very good at teaching." Goldenpaw replied. Then he mumbled, "Especially Darkstar."

"Well thats okay! ThunderClan will teach you the rest! I'm Leafheart. I'm ThunderClan's deputy!" Leafheart introduced himself with a smile.

"Okay, Flametail, Leafheart, Smoothfur. Let's start out tour!" Willowpaw said impatiently.

                                                                                         *        *        * 

"Yes! It's been a whole moon! Now I get to continue my training. Yay!" Willowpaw exclaimed her excitement unhideable.

"Well, I'm excited to restart my training!" meowed Lightpaw. Over the last moon, Softpaw had been renamed Lightpaw because when she was a kit, her name was Lightkit but ShadowClan changed that. Then Rosestar walked by to find them all outside of her den.

"What are you doing out here?!" Rosestar yelled. "I thought I told you to stay in my den for one moon. It's not a full moon yet. You still have another sunrise to go."

"Fine," Goldenpaw mumbled. Then, there seemed to be a flicker of hope in him. "But will we get to start training tomorrow? Please?!"

"Yes. Look, I'm really sorry you had to go through all of this, but it's for all of your own safety. I don't want any of you getting hurt. Please don't make this any harder than it already has to be."

"Ok Rosestar."

"Got you Rosestar."

"Fine," Willowpaw was tired of having to listen to her mom all of the time just because she was the Clan leader and she because she was her mom. One day, I'll be Clan leader and my rule will be law! Ha! Take that Rosestar! All of a sudden, Willowpaw felt very tired. She collapsed onto the ground. Heart thumping she felt very odd.

"Willowpaw!" Goldenpaw rushed to help. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine just need some rest."

"Here. Let us help you." Together, Lightpaw and Goldenpaw helped Willowpaw stumble to her nest.

As Willowpaw settled down in her nest to try and get some sleep, or, at least close her eyes, she heard whispers coming from the outside of the den.

"We have told you before, and we'll tell you again, we were born in ShadowClan. We're not even brothers!" A voice murmured softly.

"Yeah!" another yelled, well, as loud as you can while you're whispering. "My mother is Dawnheart and my father is Boulderwing. Mudpaw is my brother, but Hollowpaw is just a good friend."

"Hollowpaw's parents are Mossfire and Spiderfoot," Willowpaw figured that this voice must be Mudpaw, since it didn't sound like the other two. That would mean that the second voice was Blazepaw. "Now will you please let us go back to ShadowClan. We won't tell ShadowClan your ThunderClan secrets! Just let us go home!"

After a moment of silence, Rosestar sniffed the three apprentices. Then she said,

"You're right. Even after being in ThunderClan for a whole moon, I still don't smell any ThunderClan scent on you. You just smell of ShadowClan," Rosestar's look of anger faded into a new look, a look of confusion. "But then what happened to my other three kits?"

Goldenpaw must have been eavesdropping because all of a sudden he yowled. "Oh no! I heard 3 kits died in ShadowClan during winter a few seasons ago. They were kits of a different mother, but they could have been yours."

"What were their names?" Rosestar whispered.

"What were their names..." Goldenpaw echoed. "I remember. It was something like Grasskit, Mosskit, and Ryekit. Is that right?"

"Oh my. That's them. But that means they are... they are... " Rosestar couldn't finish. She was crying now.

All of the paws' that were there put a tail on her shoulder. Even the ShadowClan cats.
