Warriors by Silver Sky (superbooks4u .TXT) 📕

Rainwhisker yowled as another spasm shot through her stomach. A third wet bundle lay next to his two sisters. Rainwhisker pushed them closed to her stomach and sighed. "Congragulations" Leopardtalon meowed. "About half a moon early" Rainwhisker said. Whiteleaf pushed poopy seeds towards Rainwhisker. "Eat them" she said. Rainwhisker ate them fast. The sun began to set. Whiteleaf went back to her den. Tigerstripe entered the nursery. "Oh Rainwhisker they're beutiful." he meowed looking at his kits. A small gray tabby tom, a blue gray she cat with tabby markings and a jet back she cat with a white paw. "Have they got names?" he asked "No I waited for you" she purred. "Well... the black and white she-kit how about Blackkit..."
"Wonderful" she purred. "The gray tom can be Rockkit"
"And the Blue gray she-kit... Bluekit" Tigerstripe purred. Rainwhisker licked Bluekit's head. "Umm Rainwhisker... I-I have to leave."
"What!" Rainwhisker yowled.
"Listen, a fox didn't kill Blackheart. Graytail and Scarstar did you, me, and the kits will all be in danger if I don't leave now... Scarstar and Graytail don't know they are my kits don't let them know..."
Rainwhisker licked Tigerstripe's cheek. "Okay" she whispered. "Just let them see you when they become apprentices they will like to meet their father at least once..." Tigerstripe noded and touch Rainwhisker's nose and left.

Bluekit jumped on Rockkit. "Oww Bluekit get off" he growled "Your no fun Rockkit" Bluekit laughed. She sat. "I am Bluekit leader of Rockclan and Blackkit is my loyal deputy" she giggled. "Oh ya well I am Rockkit Leader of Ashclan and shall defeat you." he laughed Rainwhisker stepped into the nursery. "Ok come on kits I would like you to meet some one." She said. They followed their mother out of camp. "just two moon until were apprentices!" Bluekit squealed. Rainwhisker stopped at the roots of a huge oak. Tigerstripe stepped out of the shadows. "Hello kits" he meowed. "Who are you!" Bluekit growled "And why are you on Rockclan territory!" Rockkit said. Rainwhisker sighed. "He's your father" she said. "What!" Blackkit's ears flattened. "Then why is he never in camp why wasn't he ever with us!" Bluekit hissed. Tigerstripe sighed. "Your uncle Graytail did something very bad before you three were born and I had to leave" he said. Bluekit tiltied her head. "Then why didn't you visit us before" she asked. "I couldn't when you become apprentice I will visit you one more time but... its dangerous for me to be in Rockclan territory." he said. "Tigerstripe we have to go" she purred and touched his nose. Rainwhisker took the kits back to camp. Bluekit's tail was lashing furiously. Rockkit yawned. "C'mon kits back to nursery" Rainwhisker said. The three layed down next to their mother and quickly fell asleep.

Bluekit woke in the middle of the night. She shook rockkit awake. "Hey, Hey Rockkit wanna go see Tigerstripe again" she asked. "Huh" Rockkit looked up at Bluekit. "Sure" he yawned. They started out of camp. Soon the two kits came to the tree where the met their father Tigerstripe. "Hello..." Bluekit called. They heard something moving in the brush. A pair of golden eyes gleamed. A fox stepped out of the bramble. "Run!" Rockkit shreiked. The fox was to quick. It swiped at Bluekit leaving scratches down her shoulder. She shreiked. The fox bit Rockkit's back. A loud hiss distracted the fox. Tigerstripe jumped on the fox's face bitting into its cheek. It yelped and tried to shake him off. Tigerstripe clawed at the fox's eye then release. The fox ran squealing into the forest. Tigerstripe heard cats comming towards the scene and hid. Scarstar, Graytail, Whiteleaf, Rainwhisker and Nightwhisker were with them. "My Kits!" Rainwhisker shreiked and ran to Rockkit. He was bleeding heavily. Whiteleaf pushed her to the side. "Get them to my den" she meowed. Nightwhisker Rainwhisker and Whiteleaf got back to camp with the kits. Scarstar and Graytail stayed behind. "Why would the fox leave them alive." Graytail hissed. "What if Tigerstripe isn't dead" Scarstar meowed. Graytail's claws unsheathed. "Sorry Scarstar but I can't have you leader anymore" before Scarstar could react, Graytail had a hold of his neck snd sunk his teeth in. An awfull gurgling noise came from Scarstar as blood pour from his neck. Scarstar clawed at Graytail's legs hoping to losen his grip. But it was to late soon Scarstar went limp and never moved again.

Rainwhisker sat outside Whiteleaf's den. Whiteleaf stepped out and sighed. "Are they going to be ok!" Rain whisker mewed. "Bluekit is fine but... I don't think Rockkit wil he's in the paws of Starclan." she mewed and let Rainwhisker in to the den. "No!" she cried and layed by her kits. Bluekit opened her eyes. "Oh Bluekit!" she gasped. "Mom... Rockkit..." tears ran down her cheeks. "Shhh shhh its ok..." she licked Bluekit's head. "Why did you two go out there by yourselves." Rainwhisker asked. "We went to look for Tigerstripe" Bluekit mewed. Rainwhisker gasped. "Stay here with your brother now..." she stood and ran out of camp. She ended up by the old oak. "Tiherstripe come out!" she hissed. Tigerstripe stepped out of the brambles. "Rainwhisker should you be with the kits?" he stepped closer she steped back. "Its your fault!" she growled. "For what?!"
"Your fault that rockkit is dead you were out here but didn't care to point them back to camp!"
"No I-" Rainwisker cut him off.
"No exuses Tigerstripe they were looking for you and your son DIED tigerstripe DIED! I geuss lieing to the clan was a mistake. But now I'll fix it." Rainwhisker stormed back to camp and jumped on highrock. "Cats of Rockclan I have a ver VERY important message." she meowed loudly. Many cats poked their heads out of the dens. "Tigerstripe isn't dead and hee IS the father to Bluekit, Rockkit, and Blackkit." Many suprised gasps overwelmed the camp. "What!" Graytail hissed. "And... he murdered Blackheart!" everyone gasped even herself. Graytail slightly smirked. /He won't come back now/.

Tigerstripe heard his mate's false acussion. "No..." he growled and ran into the forest. /How could she?! How?!/. Tigerstripe kept running until he was out of the territory.

Bluekit was exited she was finally six moons old. Blackkit paded up behind her she didn't seem quiet as exited. Graystar jumped on highrock. "All cats able to catch their own prey gather beneathe highrock for a clan meeting." he meowed. Rainwhisker stepped out of the nursery smiling. "Come on kits." she mewed. Once the clan had settled Graystar spoke again. "Rockclan has three new apprentices " he looked down at the three kits. "Step forward" Bluekit, Blackkit, and Jaykit all stepped forward. "Until the earn their warrior names, Bluekit will be known as Bluepaw, Blackkit will be known as Blackpaw, and Jaykit will be known as Jaypaw" he meowed. Moonflower, and Nightwhisker stepped forward. "Moonflower will mentor Bluepaw, Nightwhisker will mentor Blackpaw, and I Graystar will mentor Jawpaw." he mewed. Bluepaw bounded up to her mentor and touched noses with the senior warrior. "Now for a warriors ceremony... Ivypaw, Stonepaw, and Leafpaw step forward." the three apprentices walked before the leader. "I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these young apprentices they have train hard to learn the warrior code. Leafpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life..." he mewed. "I do" Leafpaw meowed quietly. "Then from this moment foreward you will be known as Leafpelt. Stonepaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life"
"Yes"
"From now on you will be known as Stonepool, Ivypaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life"
"Of course" she whispered
"Now you shall be known as Ivyclaw, These new warriors will sit a silent vigil until dawn." he finished and hopped down from highrock. Bluepaw ran to the apprntices den "Wow its so... BIG...." she gasped. Blackpaw yawned "Well how about we test out the nest cause I am TIRED." Bluepaw chose a nest by the entrance of the den and yawned. She layed down. Jaypaw layed down near her and closed his eyes. She turned away and fell asleep.

Moonflower poked Bluepaw awake. "C'mon its dawn we are going on a dawn patrol." she rasped.
"Yes!" Bluepaw mewed jumping to her paws.
"Lets go then" she smiled. Bluepaw padded out of the den. Sparrowtail, Graystar, and Jaypaw were waiting. "Jaypaw we are going to see everything we will be the best warriors in Rockclan!" she mewed. Moonflower laughed. Graystar just glanced at Bluepaw. He flicked his tail and padded out of camp. Jaypaw and Bluepaw followed. Jaypaw gasped staring at the trees. "Wow the territory is HUGE" he gasped. "Ya" bluepaw mewed quietly. The patrol got to the breezeclan border. "Wait" Bluepaw mewed. "Is that breezeclan scent. Did they come over the border" Graystar's tail lashed. "They were here" Graystar growled running back to camp, "Good job Bluepaw" Moonflower whispered.BLepaw felt good she actully did something right. They got back to camp. Graystar jumped on highrock. He was furoious. "All cats able to catch their own prey gather beneath highrock for a clan meeting." he meowed. Bluepaw sat beneath highrock and gazed up a Graystar."Cats of Breezeclan have crossed into our territory posibly even stole some of our prey" he growled "Me, Jaypaw, Moonflower, Bluepaw, Sparowtail, Nightwhisker,
