Faithpaw agin! You can guess who the song goes to, Lonerstar!
Faithpaw gasped as some toms cheered for this new rule. What? Why? And why was loner grinning at her lile that? The she catslooked heart broken. Lonerstar had won.
***
"What happened at the gathering" , everyone asked. The toms smiled when they found out, and the she cats gasped with horror. Of course, firestar liked this new rule. All the toms did. Faithpaw padded to the fresh kill pile to take a mouse but a Tom hissed at her.
"What do you think your doing, she cat"!
"I-I".
Then he scratched her on the cheek, the toms took all the food, leaving none one the pile. Then the she cats had to hunt for food they didnt get to eat. Flameheart was probly one of the only toms who didnt like this new rule. It had to be followed, so he had to take a mate.
Thankfully, he didnt choose me, Faithpaw thought, relived she wasnt chosen.
Toms abused everyone, and even got in fights with each other on who to mate with.
It was all Lonerstar's fault.
And the worse thing was. Too cats looked at her, deciding if they wanted her to be their mates. They were no ther than Lonerstar and spiderpaw. Ugh, why loner, she thought in disgust, organizing the herbs.
Spiderpaw came in, Lonerstar at his side. Lonerstar spent most of his time with his clan in the Thunderclan camp these day.
" We want you to ne out mate", growled Lonerstar, smiling.
"Both of yalls? How?"
"You can mate with both of us".She
"You think i'd be mates with either of you? course I won't"!
"You have to"!
" if i don't then what will happen"?
"Uh, punishment".
" Well, no. "
"You will be both of our mate", snarled Lonerstar.
" the she cats should get a choice, you know, you mange heart"!
"No they shouldnt, they should be left to die, along with all the elders, the toms do all the work around here these days".
" THE SHE CATS DO, YOU FOX HEART"!
"Shut you she cat".
" But- im a medicine cat".
"Fine. Were letting you off easy, Faithpaw, dont expect us not too!" They left the den. Flameheart padded into the den, carring a plant Faithpaw had never seen.
"what is that"?
"Called alaverea, its good for cuts, its like dock". Flameheart explaoned, cutting the plant into two. He used his paw to dislodge slimy, clear stuff. He put it on a thorn scratch he had. The smell was minty, almost like real mint leafs, which were hard to find and very precious. You definabtly wouldnt be able to find them in leafbare. For a few minutes Faithpaw forgot about all her problems.
Faithpaw sighed. Sense she became an apprentice, everything had become two times harder. It was probably her fault Lonerstar came. Hers. Faithpaw ruffled her neat fur, growling in frustration that she couldnt do anything. Well, at least it was moonpool night. Where all the medicine cats meet and talk about their troubles. Most of the medicine cats were toms, though. From what she heard, bellafleck was the riverclan medicine cat, blazenose and flightflinger were both Shadowclan's medicine cats, and the last known Windclan medicine cat was stumpeye. She also heard that a queen had given birth to four kits, and was planning on having one be a medicine cat. there was Flowerkit, BlackBerrykit, Runningkit, and Breathkit, BlackBerrykit would probably be the medicine cat.

Flameheart and Faithpaw walked to the moonpool, occasionally stopping to pull out tiny rocks from their paw pads. They finaly met the medicine cats at the stream, but she could feel their despair like a storn cloud. They wernt too happy about the new code.
"I bet Flameheart forced you to become a medicine cat apprentice, kit", one medicine cat spat.
" i wanted to be an apprentice -er"?
"Bellafleck, my name is bellafleck". Flameheart joined in.
" I wont ever force a she cat to do anything they don't want too. Lonerstar is so... "He looked around and his voice turned into a whisper.
"A stupid mouse brain. Hes padding after Faithpaw, they but he already has a mate", Flameheart growled his voice having no happiness.
"He's like a storm, makes everything so bleak, a mouse brain fox heart, an excuse of a cat if you ask me". Faithpaw could see bellafleck's eyes widen and soften at the same time.
" Oh, Faithpaw, im so, so, so sorry,i wish you luck".
"I wont need luck if i can convince Lonerstar to go away", Faithpaw , as they settled by the starry pool.
"Cats of Starclan, i bring unto you my apprentice, Faithpaw, she has many moons to learn and grow in the ways of medicine cats, Faithpaw, do you promise to learn and grow in the ways of a medicine cat"?
" I-I do".
"Then from now on, you will be a medicine cat apprentice, Starclan welcomes you and shall send you good dreams", Flameheart declared, smiling.
" Faithpaw, faithpaw! She hears the other cats cheer as she lapped up the cold water. Then they all touched their noses to the pool and fell into a deep sleep.
"Faithpaw, welcome to starclan".
" Icebringer? Sister", she called out to the snow white she cat.
"Yes, i,am Icebringer, and this new 'code' needs to go. Its not good for any cat. Even if the toms think so. Everything is... falling apart. Dont lose faith, Faithpaw, its what the clans will hold onto", and with that, Faithpaw woke up to the sun rising. the medicine cats sent luck and their good byes, then parted ways. Faithpaw felt the longingly feeling for their normal ways. Not the breaking up clans. But what if Lonerstar was right? She could see why he thought it. perhaps he just wanted to help the clans.
We did need more kits, and we already have another litter. And two more expecting cats. Lonerstar Could jist be trying to help. It all made sense or, Faithpaw thought it did. But she was wrong...
