Rosepaw yawned and blinked, poking her head out of the underground den that the wolves had dug in a short period of time for all the apprentices to sleep in. They whole camp was trying to make room for all the clans, and since there were more warriors then apprentices, the warriors that were to big to sleep in the warriors den slept in the apprentices den, and the apprentices slept in a large hole in the ground. Rosepaw grimanced at all the newfound dirt on her pelt, and she wrinkled her nose and hauled herself out of the den and began to wash her fur, wincing at the dry taste of the brown earth but yet determined to get her fur clean for the day. Ugh; let the training begin! she thought, sighing at the thought and shaking her fur out in annoyance. She then looked around for her mentor, Spiderflame, but saw her mentor nowhere and growled at this sight. She then jumped when her brother, Burntpaw, shoved her out of the way, tripping her and making her sprawl out onto the ground in a flurry of dust and paws. "Move out of the way! Your blocking the entrance with that desprate determination of yours." he sneered, no emotion flashing in his eyes but anger and ambition. "Why does she even try, Burntpaw? You know she`ll never be as great as a warrior as you." snickered a Lunarclan cat, who was a newfound friend with her brother and obvously enjoyed hurting cats as much as he did. "You know its very depressing that thats true. Maybe someday she`ll be of use to the clans; although I guess that someday is a never." replied Burntpaw, looking down at her with one last time with scorn in his eyes and then padding away with his accomplice treading not far from his tail. Rosepaw winced and stared at the ground for a moment, then hauled herself up, flattening her ears to her head in sadness. She then took a deep rattling breath and padded over to the group of deputys, who were issuing what cats do what and where to go. "Alright; all Duskclan and Lunarclan apprentices, head over to the training area. All Duskclan and Lunarclan warriors, head over to the warriors den. All Stormclan and Solarclan apprentices head over to the training area, and all Stormclan and Solarclan cats head over to the apprentices den." instructed the jet black stormclan deputy, who pointed with her muzzle where to go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miststar shook her head. "Ah no." she then felt panic rise up in her, and she struggled to not let it show. Only three more days?! Starclan why...........her thoughts trailed off as Duskstar looked at her strangley, and Miststar shook her head. "I-Im fine."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rivetfall jumped as the pattering of paws woke her up, and she sat up just in time to see Breezepaw and Stripefur running out of the den, herbs dangling from there jaws, and Rivetfall sighed and rubbed her bleary eyes with her paws. Just leave the den to myself then! Could have atleast given me a warning of whats happening or atleast where your going.......she thought to herself, shaking her head and going in rounds around the medicene den to make sure every cat was sleeping and not passed out or dead. (lol Rivetfall just reminded me of a person with an irish accent somehow xD)
--------------------------------------------------------------- (heres comes the magical dream, nananana~) Rushpaw opened his eyes to find himself in a fieldful of white grass, and a pretty ginger she-cat sat next to him, her fur ruffled by the breeze. Rushpaw felt tears come to his eyes, and he looked away. "M-Mother........." he said, stiffling a sneeze and looking back up again. Instead of smiling, his mother just surveyed him with serious, unwilling eyes, and she nodded. "I have been told to warn you, you know. It shocks me what has happened to you in the last few days........this........this should not have happened." whispered his mother, her voice faltering near the end. She then raised one paw up to touch his scar, and then continued. "You have been given a gift, and yet a burden. Our ancesters have blessed us, you know. Your scar is there across your eye, for a reason, dear. Do not resent it, and you shall find that you can easily find the path to the tribe, and the one that can save you all from our destruction." his mother set her paw down and then dipped her head. "And as of you being normal..........thats never going to happen, sweetie. Im sorry, but it never will. You will always be watched carefully by your ancestors, weither there good or bad. I dont know if thats a good thing or not, so be cautoius about how you move." Rushpaw blinked in shock as his mom began to fade away, and he frustratingly clawed the ground, tearing the white grass into tiny shreds were his claws were.
----------------------------------------------------- Orangebriar jumped up as a claw poked him in the side, and he hissed and unsheathed his claws, his back arched high in defense, but only found himself staring down Rivetfall, who had stood still and not moved an inch from her spot. "Sorry to wake you from your sleep but im checking on every cat in this room to make sure there not dead, if thats ok with you." said Rivetfall curtly, eyeing Orangebriar and then moving forward to poke Blazecloud as well.

Treepaw watched Rosepaw and sighed. Burntpaw, of course, he thought to himself. It seems always that Burntpaw is hurting her feelings. Why can't he just shut his trap and move on from making her feel bad? Treepaw shook his head, realizing that there wasn't an answer. If I could give him a piece of my mind, I would. He sighed again, and trotted over to the other cats. (lol, treepaw hates cats who hurt his friends' feelings xD) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "YEOPE!" Blazecloud hissed, turning her head sharply. "W- What was that for?" she mewed angrily, feeling grouching from being woke from her nap. "Augh, I was fast asleep!"

breezepaw listened to stripefur softly talk to mudspots, to calm her down. "for now, just stay here and send tigerface if you feel more pain." she finished. mudspots nodded. "ok..." she sighed. tigerface licked his mate on her forehead. "dont worry. everything will be fine." he assured her. it turned out, that the kits were coming soon, but not even stripefur knows when. "breezepaw, why don't you stay in here for a little. "ok!" breezepaw mewed, trying to impress her mentor. stripefur slowly walked out of the nursery.
-------------------------------- "stripefur!stripefur!" starpaw screeched. "tigerpaw wont wake up!" stripefur rushed into her den. inside Rivetfall was trying to wake the apprentice awake. stripefur shoved cats out of the way. stripefur leaned down to listen to tigerpaws heart. it was not beating.

Rivetfall felt panic rise up in her, and digging back to all her remedys and memories, she quickly thought of a way to bring the striped she-cat back. "Somebody go get me a leaf, set it on fire in my fire pit, and bring it back to me NOW!"snapped Rivetfall, licking her paws and then rubbing them together, wincing when they started to burn but continuing to cause the friction in her pads. ------------------------------------- Orangebriar flicked up his ears as Rivetfall snapped an instant and desperate order, and feeling the tense air surround him, he quickly picked up a dry leaf from the ground, carefully dipped it in the fire, and carried it back to Rivetfall in his teeth, the tip of the leaf burning with heat.

Tigerpaw suddenly woke up, breathing hard. she quickly looked around. stripefur was standing next to Rivetfall, who looked like her paws were on fire. many cats were staring at her, wide eyed. "t-tigerpaw...?" starpaw asked, as if he thought she had disappeared. tigerpaw frowned. "ummm....whats going on?" she asked. stripefur looked over tigerpaw then finally spoke. "do you feel ok?" she slowly asked. tigerpaw nodded. "yeah. why?" stripefur stared at her. "well, you were just...just..dead." the medicine cat replied. "w-what?!" tigerpaw squeaked.
---------------------------- "can you go get stripefur now? i think mudspots is feeling worse." tigerface meowed worriedly. breezepaw stood up."ok, ill get her as quickly as i can. just stay here like stripefur said." she mewed, trying to sound professional. the young apprentice dashed out of the nursery to the medicine den. when she got there she discovered that starpaw was sitting out side the medicine den. "uhh, aren't you supposed to be helping stripefur?" she asked. "she told me to make more room for tigerpaw." starpaw meowed back. "what happened? is she ok?" "she is now, but she nearly DIED." he said, wide eyed. breezepaw stared at her brother for a long time 'ok then...' she thought then slowly walked into the medicine den. "stripefur, i-" the den was filled with cats watching tigerpaw. breezepaw gagged then went on "stripefur, mudspots is feeling more pain." she mewed shakily. stripefur jumped then looked at her apprentice. "o-oh. of course." stripefur stuttered. stripefur grabbed some herbs then walked out of the den. "lets go..." she sighed.

Rivetfall winced, and she blew on her paws. Before Tigerpaw had woken up, she had licked her paws one more time and dug them into the sand so that they were covered by the tan grit, and she had then clasped the burning leaf in her paws and began to rub that together too, making a shocking aroma that smelled like strangelly like mint, fresh ice, burning wood, and blood. She had then sent an ancient prayer to starclan, even though she didnt know if it was because of Starclans will that Tigerpaw woke up, or something else. "Your ok now, Tigerpaw; as long as your still alive, thats what counts." chided Rivetfall. She then sighed, shook her head, and stuck the burnt leaf in her mouth, chewing it into a pulp and then spitting it back out. With her paws, she spread the ointment onto Tigerpaws chest and nose. "This should help you breathe a bit better now, although i`ll need some chamomile and juniper berrys soon for you." Rivetfall brushed her paws onto the ground, and the greenish substance spread off in an instant. "Do you need anything right now that you can think of?" asked Rivetfall calmly, flicking one ear and sitting down with her tail curled over her paws. --------------------------------------------------------------- Orangebriar stared at Rivetfall, the fur on his spine bristling out in amazement and shock. How could she be calm when a cat just died, then came back to life?! he thought. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Rosepaw padded briskly through the forest towards the training area, feeling like her pads were being prickled by thorns and her fur rubbed backwards. This feels so weird going to another clans training area! she thought, and shudder running through her when she caught sight of it. It was a large cave, big enough to hold three clans. It had a soft sandy floor, and a huge but strange twisted tree growing in the center. All the Duskclan and Stormclan apprentices were gathered around two cats in one corner, and she felt a purr rise up through her throat when she recognized the pelts of Glorycall and Redwhisker. Rosepaw sat down next to a mottled she-cat with blueish eyes, who gave her an uncomfortable look but otherwise stayed where she was. She then jumped when a bristly white pelt brushed hers, and she looked to her right to see Burntpaw looking around. Its a good thing he dosent know he`s sitting next to me yet! she thought, shifting her weight awkwardly but not moving from her spot like the mottled she-cat besides her.

Flamepaw crashed into the den." BADGER ATTACK!" he screamed. Icepaw jumped to her paws fur bristled "What?! This isn't somethin u joke about!" she yelled. Blindpaw sat up and said "He's not kidding. There really r badgers out there. LET'S GO!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The badger had Waterpaw pinned. She clawed desperately at its stomach.'THIS IS HOW I'M GONNA DIE!!' she thought as the badger went for a death blow. Before it struck she saw a flash of orange fur, then a flash of white and finally a flash of brown. Her littermates were attacking the badger! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Icepaw bit down with all her strength on the badger's shoulder. It let out a screech of pain. It threw Icepaw and Blindpaw off but Flamepaw leaped at its throat. The badger swatted him away like he was nothing. Without warning Waterpaw flew at the badger screeching with fury. She knocked the badger on its side. Icepaw, Blindpaw and Flamepaw held it down. Waterpaw bit into the badger's throat with all her strength. The badger struggled and then went limp. It was dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Finally!' Blindpaw thought. "This badger might be read but there are still a lot to defeat. LET'S GO!!!" Blindpaw bounded across the clearing to help her.mentor and his mate with a giant badger. "You heard her! COME ON!!!!" Waterpaw yelled as she bounded across the clearing, with her strength returned......

tigerpaw looked up at rivetfall. "i-i could use some water.." she said. tigerpaw let out a long sigh and closed her eyes, trying to relax.
-------------------- breezepaw padded into the nursery along with her mentor. "ok mudspots, just try to relax..." stripefur meowed.
----------------------- batstar walked over to the apprentice training area and watched his apprentice, colorpaw, training dawnkit how to protect herself. "remember, this is ONLY for defence...dont just go run off to attck a badger with these moves." colorpaw instructed the young kit. batstar watched with pride. 'hmmm...she has been an apprentice for long enough...' he thought then walked over to join the other clan leaders. he cleared his throat and spoke. "i was just watching some apprentices fighting when i thought that maybe we could name some warriors before the badger battle." he meowed.

Blazecloud stared at Tigerpaw, and then looked at Orangebriar. Atleast I'm not the only cat who's freaked out, she thought to herself. How can they be so calm when that just happened?

Crystalpaw next to Checkerspaw was starting to share tongues with him. Duskstar passed them two with a worried look. Checkerspaw looks up seein Duskstar pass by. "can u excuse me for a sec" whispered checkerspaw to Crystalpaw. Checkerpaw got up and ran up to Duskstar. "What's wrong" asked Checkerspaw? "It's the badgers! I know they are not here but I'm worried" meowed Duskstar. "Why are you so worried? They are just badgers" meowed Checkerspaw. "No they are not just badger, they are mean, verosiouse dogs. I need to train DuskClan more or we will lose many cats. Would you want to lose Crystalpaw" asked Duskstar. Checkerspaw looked down and thought about losing Crystalpaw. He would cry and cry for weeks, months, YEARS! He looked back up to Duskstar. "No" mumbled Checkerspaw. "ok then! And besides, I'm not just worried about DuskClan, I'm worried about the other clans too! I need to go. Go to Crystalpaw" meowed Duskstar. "I will! Oh and btw, just to let you know, thx for understanding me" meowed Checkerspaw. The young apprentice turned back around and ran off to Crystalpaw. Duskstar looked up to the sky. "O dear StarClan, please please help us! The badgers are coming and I'm worried! Please give us four clans power" Duskstar whispered to her self. She turned around and walked near Shadowtail. Shadowtail was next to Iceheart. All three of them payed down next to each other and stared at each other waiting for a word To come out of someones mouth.

(Min, were kinda past the pre- badger attack now xD you can skip if you like~) Miststar felt like she was losing her grip. Her clan was scattered around the stormclan camp, running back and forth to a den and then another. A few Solarclan cats were starting to turn on the other clans, calling them cowards and foxdungs for not being excited about the fight. Almost all the Duskclan cats were jumpy, and whenever a cat from another clan tried to talk to them, they instantly yowled and ran off. Most of the Stormclan cats were hiding squarely around the edges of the camp, murmering vicious whispers of the other clans backstabbing them and stealing prey, and being to much of lazy bears to do anything. Even the rest of the leaders were starting to get cautious of eachother, just gazing at Batstar as he suggested a warriors ceremony and then staring at there paws. Miststar felt the fur on the tip of her back rise, and before she could retort frustratingly, there was a yowl from above, and Miststar glanced up to see Sunwind and Lady Emera perched highly on a tall rock. "This is not the warriors that I have heard about for so many years!" growled Sunwind, her eyes blazing. "You are not cowards! You are not the sort of cats that back down from a fight, or just simply let another whole diffrent creature take your land! You should not be acting like cowards!" yowled Sunwind fiercefully, and growl embedding i nher throat. "Stand up for your rights, fight for your freedom, and you shall find that success is within your grasp. All you have to do is believe that you can do this, and that you will reach it, and you have it." said Lady Emera loudly, her green eyes flashing as she lowered her head down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (SO WHAT IM THE ONLY APPRENTICE TRAINING FOR THE WAR? D,8 COME ON NOW~) Rosepaw pricked up her ears as there was a yowl from the rock, and she looked up to see Glorycall and Redwhisker just about to start the apprentice training. "Alright! I know you all are very excited about the war." the almost all white tom paused to glare at a few apprentices that were talking at the edge of the huge group then continued. "But we do actually have work to do! You see, im going to let you apprentices on in a little secret of ours." he said, leaning forward with his eyes brimming with amusement as the whole group of apprentices, who were facing the opposite side of him, leaned forward also in anticipation. "We warriors couldnt win a single battle without any of you apprentices out there. Hey if there werent any of you, I`m sure Redwhisker here would be happy to claw my tail off! Thats why we need lively young cats in the battlefield to make sure that we dont lose a battle and if you do, you know what?" Glorycall leaned back and grinned. "Thats just ok too, because then theres always next time!" Glorycall flicked one of his golden ears then stood up. "Alright; now because Ive given you a pep talk, i suppose I have to get to the point now, dont I?" from the back of the crowd there was a "Well thats what we`ve been waiting for! We havent exactly got all morning to hear you drag on and on about ourselves!" and there was a few purrs of amusement from some of the cats, but Glorycall flicked his tail for silence. "Alright then! Redwhisker and I are going to teach all of you some advanced battle skills that you will need when fighting badgers. Redwhisker, why dont you tell them all about it and then give them a demo?" he chided, stepping back to let the stormclan she-cat talk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Alright; stay right here, and try to stay awake as much as possible." said Rivetfall, poking the young she-cat with a sharp claw when she saw her close her eyes. Rivetfall then yawned, picked up a small bundle of moss from the corner, and dipped it in a pool, waiting for a few seconds for it to soak up the water and then padding back to Tigerpaw with the bundle.

(nooo!!!! treepaw ish training! although, he doesn't have a mentor at the moment. O.o) Treepaw sat down, and sighed with boredom. "I wish there were more badgers to fight," he muttered to himself, his tail swishing from side to side. "Atleast I wouldn't be so bored to pieces." He looked up and saw Rosepaw and Glorycall training. "Oh, maybe I'll be able to train with that crew," he mewed to himself, straightening himself and standing up. "At least it'll give me somethin' to do."

(lolz i actually made this one up) Redwhisker nodded to Glorycall then stepped forward. "ok, to begin we will start with a move that if used right, could scare the fur off one of those badgers in battle. Starpaw, why dont you help me today." she mewed as starpaw quickly jumped to the middle of the clearing, his tail twiching. "ok. come at me." she commanded. starpaw looked for this destination then charged. just at the right time, she leaped above him and while in the air, slashed his back his back with her slethed claws. she landed gracefully behind the young apprentice. starpaw turned around with his mouth gaped. "didn't see that coming did you?" she purred. some apprentices in the croud oooed and aaahhed while some sat there boredly. "its actually quite simple, you just need good timing and a high enough jump." she said. "who wants to try it out with starpaw? hmmm...how about you rosepaw."
---------------------------- batstar watched the apprentices training with a sad gleam in his eyes. he was terribly worried about some of the younger apprentices and is still wanting colorpaw and others their warriors ceremony, but that could probaly wait. batstar sighed and walked away to check on his warriors.
--------------------------- breezepaw padded out of the nursery and breathed in some fresh air. she had been stuck in there for what seemed like moons helping stripefur and getting water to mudspots. her kits were very healthy. one girl and one boy. breezepaw turned around as stripefur walked out happily. "she named the brown and white she-kit treekit, and the tabby flamekit." she mewed and sat down next to her apprentice. they both looked up at the sky.

Rosepaw blinked then quickly padded forward. "O-ok." she said, crouching down with her paws slanted down at the floor. Starpaw then charged at her, his tail streaming out from behind. Right before he could hit her, Rosepaw jumped high in the air, twisted around to slash her paws over starpaws back, and then landed gracefully on both paws behind the apprentice, stumbling as she landed but quickly regaining her posture.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "`Ere you are." said Rivetfall, dropping the water- soaked moss besides Tigerpaw. "Alright; are you all set?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (oops xD) Ronm paused besides a tall tree, peeking around it to see a fuzzy animal, which looked like a white and gray cloud with black hooves and ears. "Thats what were goin after." whispered Ronm, pausing and then flipping his head around to face his group. "It looks like its wild, and it smells like a mixture of moose and deer." he then turned back to the 'cloud', his ears pricked for any movement that it made.

Tigerpaw thankfully licked the water off the moss. "thank you, Rivetfall." she mewed
--------------------------- Redwhisker watched rosepaw do all the moves perfectly. "fantastic moves! very impressive. you just need to work on your landing a bit." she looked down at starpaw who looked dazed. "also, while we are practiceing, you can add something extra at the end like attacking the enemies legs." some of the apprentices faces lit up. "ok, everyone go find a partner, and take turns practiceing. in a short time, we will be laerning something new." she mewed then dipped her head to show that they may go. the young cats took off finding partners. "ok, is there anyone without a partner!" she yowled over the crowd. three apprentices stepped forward. "anyone else?" she mewed. "starpaw do you have a partner?" "yes. me and rosepaw are going to train together." she mewed, wanting revenge. "ok...rushpaw you go with crystalpaw and treepaw, you can train with me." she meowed.
-------------------------------------- treekit slowly opened her eyes. she was only a day old, but was curious of what was going on. she could hear voices and she wanted to know where they were coming from. she wanted to know so much! when she opened her green eyes, she saw the amazing sights. she saw her mother sleeping and her tabby brother curled right next to treekit. her father was asleep right next to mudspots. 'do i look like my father? no thats flamekit...so does that mean i look like my mother?' she thought.
