quickly, padding over to Rainpaw. Dustpaw was trying to speak to Fernpaw, but Nightflame kept getting in the way. Blazepaw growled at him, because he had broken his promise to Fernpaw. Nightflame then flinched and stopped.
"Hi Fernpaw." Dustpaw meowed.
"Hello Dustpaw. I really hope Wildkit and Swiftkit get good mentors. Their really quite nice, ya know." Fernpaw mewed.
"I know. I'd love to mentor one of them." Leafdew mewed, overhearing their disscuion.
"Why don't you ask Snowstar? You've been a warrior for moons!" Dustpaw suggested.
"I'd like to mentor one too." Duckfoot meowed. Fernpaw started laughing. Dustpaw looked confused. Fernpaw just laughed at him and licked his ear. They were making their way back to camp. Snowstar suddenly stopped them.
"Foxes are near by, stay close everyone." She mewed nerveously. Fernpaw looked scared until she heard a bark. It was a fox! It showed up with about 20 other foxes.
"We're outnumbered." Breezefang muttered to Blazepaw. The fox then charged at the clan and started to fight them. A small fox sneaked up behind Robineye and secretly attacked her from behind!
"Help me!" She gasped. Shadowstep pounced onto the fox, but it bucked him off. Fernpaw was busy fighting the smallest fox with help from Clawedear and Morninghawk. Suddenly, someone yowled in pain. It was Littletail! The fox was biteing her neck and blood poured out. She then became motionless. She was dead.
"Littletail!" Shadowstep cried in sorrow. He crouched down beside his sister. He then looked up at the murderer. Shadowstep's eyes blazed with anger and he pounced onto the fox, snarling and clawing it. Lizardeye then yelped in pain as a fox bit his leg. Fernpaw jumped onto the fox and dragged him off. Lizardeye thanked her and jumped onto one attacking Badgerstripe. Fernpaw quietly left the fox she'd killed and limped towards Dustpaw. He was fighting a huge fox with Snowstar and Riverstripe. Dustpaw looked at Fernpaw sadly. Fernpaw then felt brave. Braver then she had before. With a almighty yowl, she pounced onto to biggest fox and killed it with 2 bites. She gasped for her breath and stared at Nightflame. He was watching Whitebone fight with Moonsky and Cherrypaw. He silently crept towards Whitebone and pushed her in front of the fox. He then jumped back and watch the fox continuesly claw her. It then ran off. Fernpaw rushed towards Whitebone.
"Please don't die." She begged. Whitebone was a good friend of her's.
"I'm afraid I will join StarClan. But remember, stand tall. Also, you know who killed me. Make sure he doesn't kill anyone else. I don't want a young cat being tricked by him. Goodbye, Fernpaw." Whitebone mewed with the last of her breath. She soon fell limp in Fernpaw's paws. She cried sadly and looked at Nightflame. He was helping Riverstripe and... Dustpaw! Nightflame was getting closer to him and had his paws out ready to push him. Fernpaw yowled again and charged into Nightflame, sending him flying into a tree. Heartfly then yowled in sorrow. Had Dustpaw died? Fernpaw looked around. She couldn't see him anywhere.
"Dustpaw!" She shouted. Smoke started to surround everyone and soon no one could see anyone else. Fernpaw stood back and then cried. She was hanging on a ledge, which would kill her if she fell. Someone then grabbed her scuff and pulled her up. Fernpaw couldn't see who it was, so she tried to reconise the scent. She smiled when she knew who it was. It was Clawedear.
"Don't go falling off any more ledges, ok?" He joked. Fernpaw smiled and licked his ear. They stayed close to eachother and soon Fernpaw realised he was brushing up against her. She kept quiet in case she said something that would upset him. Clawedear was sniffing the air for any other cats in trouble until they bumped into Duckfoot. She smiled at Fernpaw and soon the 3 cats were on the move again. Soon, Fernpaw heard a noise. It was Dustpaw!
Dustpaw bounded towards Fernpaw, coughing and panting.
"I..let..a..friend die." He whispered.
"Who?" Fernpaw asked, flicking her tail.
"I let him die." Dustpaw mummered, pointing his tail at Breezefang. The big tabby was on the ground, breaving heavily. Fernpaw gave a little gasp but then purred.
"He's evil, you've saved the clan and Blazepaw from his terror." She meowed, her eyes shining. Dustpaw looked confused, but played along. The smoke soon cleared and Snowstar was padding towards Spottedflower, who was having difficulty keeping up.
"Riverstripe!" Spottedflower yelped. Her mate sprang over and he allowed her to lean on him. Fernpaw smiled warmly at him, Riverstripe was very kind and paitent. Snowstar gathered the clan and told them that they were free to run, because their terrortory was only a few rabbit hops away. Fernoaw ran like the wind with her 3 closest friends beside her.
"I think Snowstar wants to conduct another naming ceromony. She won't tell me who though." Lizardeye mewed.
"I'm taking a guess, and I bet i'm right." Morninghawk teased. Lizardeye smiled at her sprit and humor. His mind was still wandering about Sparrowsong. She said that she was having his kits, but how? He then just shook his head and continued to run. They were running wild.

When they returned, Snowstar had gathered them under the rock.
"Today, 2 cats have finshed training and have proven themselfs to be loyal SnowClan apprentices. May Blazepaw and Fernpaw come up here please?" Snowstar meowed. The young apprentices ran up. Badgerstripe smiled at his children.
"Fernpaw and Blazepaw, do you accept the SnowClan way of life, will follow the warrior code and will use it to protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Snowstar mewed proudly.
"I do!" The apprentices shouted together.
"I, Snowstar, leader of SnowClan, call apon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard in your noble code, and I command you make them warriors in turn." Snowstar walked over to her son.
"Blazepaw, from this day forward you will be known and Blazestrike. StarClan honuors you for your loyalty and your... intrest in others." She rested her muzzle on his head and walked over to Fernpaw.
"Fernpaw, from this day forward you will be known as Fernwhisker. StarClan hounors you for your incredible climbing skills and your kindness to other cats." She rested her muzzle on her head.
"Blazestrike! Fernwhisker!" The clan chanted. Snowstar dismissed everyone and the new warriors went towards their apprentice friends.
"I'm going to miss you in the warrior den Dustpaw." Fernwhisker mummered.
"Don't worry, when i'm older i'll be with you until we die or one of us become leader." Dustpaw replied, rubbing against her. Fernwhisker smiled at his sprit and padded to the warrior den. Clawedear greeted her.
"Here at last, how do you feel?" He asked her.
"Great!" Fernwhisker replied happily. She made herself a nest, curled up and shut her eyes. The others went to sleep. Lizardeye padded in and sat down beside Morninghawk. Fernwhisker looked at them. Morninghawk smiled with pleasure and went back to sleep. Blazestrike just sighed. He knew it was love.

The next day, at sunset, Morninghawk rushed over to Fernwhisker.
"I got lucky!" She explained.
"What happened?" Fernwhisker meowed, bursting to know.
"I got myself a mate at last!"
"Who?"
"Lizardeye!"
"Great StarClan! You are so lucky!"
"I know! Who would you want as a mate?"
"Dustpaw when he's older."
"Wow. You've been crazy about eachother since you were kits."
"I know."
"Oh, I think Ivyfur wants to speak with me. Bye!" Morninghawk went to find the young she-cat. Fernwhisker stayed quiet. 3 toms looked like they wanted to mate her, so she was worried. 1 had dropped out, so she would have to wait for the one she wanted to ask.
"Fernwhisker!" A voice yelled. It was Shadowstep. "You're on patrol with me, Clawedear and Dustpaw." Fernwhisker smiled and waited for the others to come. When they did, the patrol went towards the RainClan boarder.
"We're on boarder patrol." Clawedear mewed. Fernwhisker sighed. She wasn't too keen on boarder patrols. She then heard a rustle going into the terrortory.
"I think I heard a mouse. I'll go after it alone." Fernwhisker lied. Shadowstep nodded and Fernwhisker ran towards the RainClan camp. Here, she could see Lizardeye and Sparrowsong. She had 6 kits beside her.
"Take 2. Look after and name them." She mummered. "Take a pick."
Shocking news

Fernwhisker gasped. The clan had already had 1 cat betray them, but why Lizardeye?
"I'll take the white tom with the silver stripes and the grey tabby she-cat." Lizardeye mewed softly. Sparrowsong nodded and passed them over. Lizardeye smiled and started to walk away. Fernwhisker had to hide fast before Lizardeye spotted her. She ran back to the patrol.
"Got the mouse?" Shadowstep asked.
"It got away." Fernwhisker meowed.
"We've set down the scent marks and done everything we need to do, so lets go back to camp." Clawedear said, flicking his tail. The cats agreed and returned back to camp, to be greeted by Foxrunner.
"You missed it!" She said sadly, drooping her ears.
"What?" Fernwhisker asked.
"The naming ceromony, mouse-brain! Wildkit and Swiftkit are apprentices!"
"Who are their mentors?"
"Leafdew and Duckfoot."
"They'll do a good job. They are well-respected warriors."
"Indeed they are."
"Anyways, I need to go."
"Ok. See you." Foxrunner left quietly. Fernwhisker went to find Puffinpaw, who was eating a shrew.
"Have you seen..."
"I know who you're after." Puffinpaw interuppted, sitting up. "At the river with the other apprentices. They've all gone for a strange swimming thing." Fernwhisker chuckled and padded towards the river. The wind blowed the leaves fallen from the trees and onto Fernwhisker's pelt. She shook them off and continued onward.
"Hey! Fernwhisker! Come play!" Rainpaw shouted. Fernwhisker sighed and jumped into the river. Dustpaw poked his head up and swam over.
"Wildpaw and Swiftpaw are here!" He said excitedly.
"I know!" Fernwhisker replied. She dived under. The fish had gone because the noise was so loud. Suddenly, someone grabed her scuff and pulled her out harshly. It was Blazestrike.
"Why are you playing when there's wolves about? They've come from the mountains." He snapped.
"What?" Fernwhisker looked confused. Her brother pulled her out from the water and took her back to camp. The clan were huddled together in a group under the rock.
"Come." Lizardeye meowed. "I need to tell everyone something." Snowstar nodded sadly.
"I have broken the warrior code, so I am stepping down from my role as deputy. You may exile me, but look after the kits I brought back. They are not mine, don't kill them." Lizardeye annocned. The clan gasped. Fernwhisker just sighed. She was the only one that knew Lizardeye had betrayed them all.
"I have decided that you will not be exiled Lizardeye." Snowstar mewed. "I see you have a mate and you have been loyal, you'll just clean out the elder's den for 2 moons." Morninghawk sighed in relief. She didn't want him exiled.
"For now, i'm guessing you want to know who the new deprty is. Well, I can tell you that Shadowstep is our new deputy of SnowClan!"
The clan cheered in delight
