Chapter two:
Nightfeather sat under the Highstone, with all of the other cats. It had been 6 moons since she had the terrible dream about the faceless tom, who killed all four leaders. Luckily, it was just a dream. At least, she hoped it was just a dream. She knew she should be happy today though, it was Eaglepaw and Flowerpaw’s warrior ceremony. Although, she grew very suspicious of her brother, since he had grown quite tall, and very muscular(just like the cat in her dream) she hoped this was just a coincidence. “Nightfeather? Are you okay?”
Nightfeather looked over, and noticed her new mate named Killerfang staring at her, looking very worried. “I’m fine” she calmly replied. “Are you su-“ Killerfang was cut off by a loud yowl. “ Let all cats old enough to gaze upon the moon gather for a clan meeting” DarkStar called. It was time for the warrior ceremony.

After the ceremony, Nightfeather and Killerfang celebrated with the four former apprentices, who were now named: Lightningfury, Flowerdawn,Honeyshine, and Eagletalon. But Nightfeather paused for a second, she noticed that Eagletalon was missing!

As soon as the clan fought the fox off it was time for a gathering. He told us the three clans because we didn’t know them yet. “BreezeClan which is us, a fast and agile clan. LightClan, a intelligent group and has sharp memory. FieldClan, a clan with great hunting grounds near a barn. And finally, ForestClan, a clan with too many trees. Follow me everybody!” He hopped off the rock and ran to a place with a big rock. Some clans were already there. “FieldClan is late again!” One of the cats in ForestClan groaned. After what felt like 5 hours they arrived. The leaders talked about all the prey and how no foxes showed up and boring stuff like that. But then ArrowStar said “I couldn’t do this in clan but I have two warriors ready who have reached twelve moons of age (btw I know in the other chapter it said 10 moons it was a mistake srry) MistPaw from this day on you shall be known as MistGlow and StonePaw from this day on you shall be known as StoneStrike, I am happy to say that by tomorrow moonfall we will have two more warriors!” All four clans started chanting our new names. “Being a warrior is harder than it seems.” She thought

The next chapter is against the code? Hope you are enjoying!

Tealgaze came to regret her decision over the next three moons. Rippedgorse was nice, and handsome enough, and with any other she-cat he’d make a good mate.
But Tealgaze didn’t know that it was his lifelong dream to have kits, nor that that was what he was expecting from her.
That, and he was overprotective and followed her around everywhere like a tick clinging to fur.

Tealgaze was coming back to camp from a border patrol when she found out that Crispleaf died in his sleep. Her and her siblings mourned his death greatly, but Dustyrose suffered the worst. She refused to eat, or sleep — she just stared at her lost mate’s lifeless body. Once he was buried, she often stared into space for most of the day, her eyes dull and unseeing.
Her kits all tried to get her to eat something, or to get some rest, but it was a daily struggle.
Despite all of this, Rippedgorse still felt like it was a good idea for Tealgaze to bear his kits.
“ No. For the last time: I’m not having your kits!” Tealgaze hissed, lashing her tail. Rippedgorse stood his ground with narrowed eyes. “ But don’t you love me?”
• Not particularly • “ If I did, it doesn’t mean I’m going to have kits with you!”
“ But I want kits.”
“ And I don’t! No means no, Rippedgorse,” Tealgaze spat, turned to pad away. “ So drop it.”
She ran away, feeling resentment bubble up her throat like bile.
• Why can’t he just listen to me and drop the subject? • Tealgaze muttered to herself. • Maybe if he wasn’t always crying about kits I’d find a way to actually love him… •
“ Hey, Tealgaze!” Robinbreeze called from across camp. Mousepetal and Pouncebranch flanked him.
Tealgaze stormed over, forgetting to clear away her negative emotions before being near her siblings.
“ What is it?” She said abruptly, by mistake. She cursed herself for her rudeness, but Pouncebranch looked at her sympathetically.
“ Is it Rippedgorse again?” He asked gently, tilting his head. “ Is he bothering you about kits?”
Tealgaze sighed and nodded. She told her siblings all about Rippedgorse and his annoying fixation, and then it turned into a rant, until she was clear-headed again.
“ Sorry,” She apologized when she was done. “ You didn’t ask for that.”
“ It’s okay,” Robinbreeze meowed softly, pressing his side against Tealgaze, who purred at his warmth.
“ Yeah,” Mousepetal purred, nuzzling Tealgaze’s cheek while Pouncebranch gave her a comforting lick on her ear.
“ We’re here for you.” The three of them said in unison. Tealgaze felt like crying, but she pushed it away.
“ But what was it you called me over here for?” Tealgaze asked.
“ Oh!” Robinbreeze’s eyes widened. “ That’s right! We were asking you if you wanted to go hunting with us — we were going to get some fresh prey for Dustyrose.”
“ Okay. Let’s go!” Tealgaze chirped, feeling like an apprentice again as her and her siblings went hunting.
They brought back plenty of prey to dole out to both the fresh-kill pile and to give Dustyrose her pick (she picked a small mouse, but at least it was something)
As Tealgaze went to sleep that night, she slept happily for the first time since Crispleaf died.
