New warriors and Apprentices

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the thickbranch for a clan meeting!" Swiftstar yowled, and the clan gathered. They still worried about Frozenheart and Heatpaw.

"It is time for five apprentices to become warriors!" she yowled, and the five apprentices came up. Shadowpaw, Tricklepaw, Fallpaw, Eaglepaw, and Dewpaw.

"I, Swiftstar, Leader of Briarclan, call apon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and we condem them as warriors in their turn." She said, saying each word clearly.

"Shadowpaw, Tricklepaw, Fallpaw, Eaglepaw, and Dewpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this clan, even if it costs your lives?"
"I do" the apprentices said in unison.

"Then by the powers of starclan I give you your warrior names."

"Shadowpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Shadowdapple."

"Tricklepaw, you shall be known as Tricklesong."

"Fallpaw, you shall be known as Fallstem."

"Eaglepaw you shall be know as Eaglesky."

"Dewpaw, you shall be known as Dewleaf"

"Tricklesong! Fallstem! Eaglesky! Dewleaf!" the clan shanted and Swiftstar moved on after the new warriors moved in with the old ones. Six kits walked up, and Swiftstar gazed at her own kits, and they looked more interested than most of the other appretices.

Huh, maybe they are friends. She thought.

"Webkit, Petalkit, Blossomkit, Darkkit, Duskkit, and Ravenkit, it is time for you to become appretices." she announced.

"Webkit, you shall be known as Webpaw."
"Petalkit, you shall be known as Petalpaw."
"Blossomkit, you shall be known as Blossompaw."
"Darkkit, you shall be known as Darkpaw."
"Duskkit, you shall be known as Duskpaw."
"Ravenkit, you shall be known as Ravenpaw." she said, and Ravenpaw reminded her of Ravenstar.

He will have a great destiny. She thought.

"Webpaw! Petalpaw! Blossompaw! Darkpaw! Duskpaw! Ravenpaw!" the cats chanted, her kits most of all, But she glanced over at Turnkit, who was reacting the same way, but she shrugged it off.

All ten of them... they feel..... different... she thought, feeling some sort of extra energy radiating off of them.

>Swiftstar<

All the ten cats got in a huddle as soon as the new appretices were done with the ceremony.

Breezepaw twitched. "We have to figure out the rest of our powers." Frostpaw said. "And perfect them. For whatever reason we need them, we should practice." she said, and Breezepaw almost rolled his eyes.

Yeah, practice with Hawkeyes. Can't she see that it's wrong?

the gathering

I'm sorry, but I went to a baseball game today, and couldn't attend the gathering, but well make the next one! Cuz the one tonite ended early, there's no point in going. Plus, I heard the conflict was really between two clans, so it wouldn't have done good anyways. Tommorrow i'll do some ceremonies and/or Kit's of sa Leader Part 4

Kits Of A Leader Part 3- Frostpaw

(I might have to play some of the other people's cats for a second on this one...)

Frostpaw curled up in the apprentices den, her chest still heavy with the weight of the prophecy. It hurt to much, and she never felt good it ever sence she recieved it.

It's not wishing peace... it's signaling a dreadful....... dreadful what? She wanted to know. It was not Starclan's prophecy, and she knew it in her heart.

But will starclan help us overcome it? She still thought to herself, getting more drowsy.
I need to find out what it means.... then Frostpaw Drifted off the sleep, closing her eyes.

                                                                  ~<>~

Frostpaw snapped open her eyes, feeling a chill. Automatically she stood up her eyes wide from shock.

It's Greenleaf! It shouldn't be this cold..... the white she-cat fluffed her fur up against the wind, gazing up at the unfamiliar trees that looked lifeless and had no leaves. The light that came from no where barely like the pale exposed bark, the barren ground. And all over the place just felt dreadfully wrong.

Where am I? she asked herself, shivering. The weight in her chest seemed to realease here, and she felt as if it were out in the open, connected to this place.

The prophecy must be worse then I thought..... she shivered again, but then jumped as she saw a familiar shape and padded over to it. It was Breezepaw, curled up and still sleeping. She shook him with her paw.

Breezepaw eventually lifted his head grogily, his eyes blinking slowly, then focusing on her. "Wazaa....? Frostpaw? Am I on the dawn paaatrol?" he asked, his voice slurred.

"No......" she whispered to her brother. "I think this is just a dream" That made Breezepaw jump up, looking around, alert. "A dream? Where are we?" he yowled, suddenly realizing they weren't on Briarclan's territory.

"I don't know. But it's dark, it's cold, and this place feels just wrong." She whispered. "And keep your voice down, we don't know if there are any other cats here" she said, but almost didn't see anything untill she saw another cat, curled up in the grass. It was Webkit! She woke him up, telling him  about how this was a dream, and one bye one they found the other's, all were sleepng when they found them.

When the last cat was woken up, they gathered in a ragged circle. She saw Ravenkit narrow his eyes, probably wondering exactaly how dark it was.

Well then it would be the same for him, then... she pointed out to herself. Willowpaw flattened her ears.

"I don't like this....." her sister mumered, and Petalkit nodded in agreement. Then thier eyes widened as a black hurling shadow leaped in the middle of the circle.

"Well get used to it" The black shape growled, and the black mist that cleared around it to reveal her half brother, his eyes deadly calm as he gazed at the appretices and kits. He sat down right in the center.

"Good... your all here" he said, his tail wrapping around his paws. And Frostpaw gazed at him curiously, even though the other propahcy cats were weary, some of them had thier lips curled back in a snarl.

"Hawkeyes, do you have anything more on the prophecy?" Frostpaw asked, padding closer to him, and the other cats looked at her, confused that she was talking to him without hostitlty.

He's still my brother. she wanted to say, but didn't do it. Hawkeyes looked down at her, darkness as well as wisdom crowding his gaze. He nodded. "Indeed I have" he said. "I am sure all of you are wondering: What makes you so Special? And the answer is, everyone of you has something the other cats don't. Power. Each different for all ten you you." He said. And he pointed his tail to the starless back sky, and the leafless trees.

"And you will discover them here, and now." Hawkeyes said, and the other cat's eyes grew round.

>Frostpaw<

Frozenheart

Swiftstar leaped onto the Thickbranch, feeling confident. Where is Thunderspirit? she wondered, realizing he probably went back to Streamclan, and she sighed.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the thickbranch for a clan meeting!" She yowled and watched the cats gather.

"We have many new cats joining today! Let's welcome Rainmask, Seafeather, Wolfpaw, Leafpaw, Orchidmeadow, Lionfang, Birchtiger, Wolfstorm, and Stargaze, Wildkit, Sunkit, Redpaw, and Saphirepaw!" Swiftstar said, announcing each name.

The cats in the crowd cheered their names.

"Also, it is time for Six apprentices to become warriors!" Swiftstar said, her eyes shining with pride. "Whitepaw, Mintpaw, Frozenpaw, Owlpaw, Dawnpaw, and Poisenpaw, step forward!" she said, and the six apprentices each stepped up, one by one. The apprentices looked ready to jump out of their pelts with excitements, all except one. Frozenpaw's gaze was darkened.

Doesn't she want to become a warrior? Swiftstar thought, confused. But then the old leader remembered, and she scanned the crowd. 

Heatpaw isn't here... .she realized.... he should've become a warrior along with her...

"Whitepaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Whitetail."

"Mintpaw you shall be known as Mintsage."

"Owlpaw, you shall be known as Owlswoop."

"Dawnpaw, you shall be known as Dawnpetal."

"Poisenpaw, you shall be known as Poisenclaw."

Swiftstar paused, her eyes narrowed in concentration.

"Frozenpaw, you shall be known as Frozenheart." She said at last, and as the young warrior licked her shoulder, the clan chanted their names.

""Mintsage! Whitetail! Owlswoop! Dawnpetal! Poisenclaw! Frozenheart!" the clan chanted their names over and over, and Swiftstar was proud that Frozenheart was accepted into the clan after all.

Her clanmates didn't trust her when she first came... but I think she got better. Swiftstar thought, looking at  Frozenheart. Though her eyes narrowed. But Frozenheart  sat up, her eyes then glaring with defiance.

"Why did you let Heatpaw leave!? He should've been a warrior with us! You just don't trust him, and I know it." she snarled, and for a second, hurt flashed in her eyes, but she continued on. "Just because he came from Brokenclan! Well you know what, we were past that, that's why we came here in the first place!" she said,.

Swiftstar broke in. "But we never said-" she started, and Frozenheart cut her off. "I've seen the way you all look at us!" she said, speaking to the whole clan now. "You never trusted us!" hissing, she whipped around, pushing past Nimblepaw and Yellowpaw and out of the clearing.

>Swiftstar<

Frozenheart pelted with the forest, her heart filled with anger.,.

Swiftstar will regret this...... she didn't even care that Heatpaw is gone. And now she's gonna pay, her and the whole clan for not trusting us... and i'll live up to my warrior name she gave me......

Frozenheart.
