Warriors: Reign of Blood (BOOK 6)

Chapter 1

[Flamefur's POV]

I rested in the medicine cat den with Tigerstripe. We were still pretty hurt from fighting all those cats. I had a deep gash on my left flank and Tigerstripe just had claw marks everywhere. Our wounds were healing up but mine still stung like foxdung. Thankfully Midnightsplash and Sunflare had said that they could watch over my kits while I was in here. I was actually happy my kits were almost apprentices. Then I saw Spokenstar walk in.

"Hey Flamefur, Tigerstripe. How are you two feeling?" She asked us. I could just hear the worry in her voice. She did treat us like her own kits so I could understand.

"My wound stings like foxdung but I'll make it." I laughed a little causing the other two cats in the den to laugh. Oh yea, Sparklight had gone out to get some more herbs.

"My many wounds sting a little but are almost healed." Tigerstripe said after he stopped laughing. Spokenstar nodded and looked to both of us warmly.

"That's good. Flamefur, I was thinking that since your kits are almost six moons old and since we are trying to train for a battle if you wanted them to be apprentices?" Spokenstar asked me slightly. I purred softly.

"I'm fine with that. It's only by a few sunrises and we need more warriors anyways. Has Softpaw done her warrior assignment yet?" I asked her. I knew Softpaw was now the only one remaining kit from her litter. Swirlpaw was her only living sibling now but he had been born in a different litter.

"Yes, and she passed. Come along the two of you. I'm going to call the clan meeting for them now." Spokenstar said and headed out of the den. I chuckled and slowly got up. My side stung more but I dealt with it. I went and sat in the clearing with Tigerstripe by my side.

"Softpaw had a good mentor." I purred to my brother. He chuckled and cuffed my ear. I rolled my eyes and gently shoved him.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under HighRock!" Spokenstar yowled. I smiled brightly. I knew my precious kits were going to become apprentices now. Sure it was a little early but the clan did need more warriors. All the cats were soon gathering under the rock so Spokenstar started the meeting.

"We have one apprentice that has passed her warrior assignment and six kits that are becoming apprentices. Softpaw, please step forward." Spokenstar spoke without fright. My kits came over to me and sat by me until they had to go for their apprenticeship.

"Softpaw, from this moment on you shall be called Softstep for your amazing hunting skills to be quiet." Spokenstar smiled to the new warrior and turned back to the clan. "Now can Tinykit, Maplekit, Lightkit, Fuzzykit, Emberkit, and Blackkit step forward?" She asked. My kits hurried to the front.

"I'm proud of them." I whispered under my breath so no one could hear it.

"It may be a few sunrises early but we do need warriors. So, Tinykit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Tinypaw. Your mentor shall be Lionsun. I trust that she will give you the right training.

"Lionsun, you have so much courage and are still young. I hope you can pass down all you know down to Tinypaw.

"Maplekit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Maplepaw. Your mentor shall be Metalclaw. I trust he can pass down his advanced fighting down to you.

"Metalclaw, though you were born of evil you have changed for the better. I know you have more advanced fighting techniques and I hope you can pass down some to Maplepaw.

"Lightkit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Lightpaw. Your mentor shall be Branchtail. I hope he can pass down all he knows down to you.

"Branchtail, you were once a rouge like your friends. I wasn't wrong to invite you into the clan. Now, I'm letting you train an apprentice and show her what you know and learned on your own.

"Fuzzykit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Fuzzypaw. Your mentor shall be Fluffygrowl. I hope he can pass down all he knows to you.

"Fluffygrowl, you are one of the youngest warriors. I hope you can teach this young apprentice all that you know.

"Emberkit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Emberpaw. Your mentor shall be Dustyleap. I hope he can pass down all he knows down to you.

"Dustyleap, you are also a new warrior but I think it's time you get an apprentice. I hope you can pass down all you know to her and also train yourself better.

"Blackkit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Blackpaw. Your mentor shall be Flyblaze. I hope that he can pass down all he knows down to you.

"Flyblaze you are also one of the younger warriors. That doesn't stop you. I want you to have this apprentice. I hope you can teach him everything he needs to learn." Spokenstar yowled. All the clan started to cheer the new apprentices' names and the new warrior's name. I smiled. My kits were grown up now.
