Hawkfire? Is She Alright?

Saturday,

          It's been a couple of days since Hawkfire talked secretly with Icefur and Flamestrike, but she hasn't told me or Spottedeye as of now. What is she hiding from us? Is it something that secret? I mean, I can understand not telling me, but you mentored Spottedeye for StarClan's sake! These past couple of days have been a blur anyway, and the pain has gotten worse. Spottedeye has been doing everything he can, but I feel like it's soon time. "Sparkheart?" a voice murmured. It sounded almost sickly. "Come in." I mewed. It turns out it was Hawkfire! "Is Spottedeye here? I wish to talk to the two of you together." Hawkfire asked. "Did someone call me?" Spottedeye meowed walking in, carrying a thrush. I nodded. "Hawkfire wanted to talk to us." Spottedeye dropped the thrush in front of me, and turned to Hawkfire. "Sure, what's up?" Spottedye asked.  Hawkfire sat down and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry I've been distant for a while, life just caught up to me, that's all." Hawkfire looked down. "Redsun, my long lost brother. I miss him so much." I nodded. I heard stories of Redsun from Icefur, plus he was alive when I was a small kit. "Have you guys ever wondered why I was distant of Flamestrike for a period of time?" Spottedeye and I both nodded. Hawkfire closed her eyes and continued. "Because he looks and acts so much like him." My eyes widened. What? I thought. Flamestrike and Redsun so alike? Is that even possible? For cats to be almost identical? Hawkfire also told us the story about Redsun's death, and why she feels so distant from us now. I just can't believe that me and Spottedeye expecting kits and Icefur and Flamestrikes' relationship can tear her apart, emotion by emotion, limb by limb. She then left and returned to her den. I looked at Spottedeye then the thrush he gave me. "I don't feel hungry anymore." I muttered.

Redsun...

Thursday,
  I started to cry. My brother and I were young warriors when he died. My brother was named Redsun. We were hunting for the Clan one day and it was a cold, winter day.  The forest was quiet, but we knew prey was lurking around the corner. Redsun caught a scent of rabbit near by RiverClan. We patted our way through the snow. "Ssshhh, Redsun. We are really close to RiverClan." I warned him. The Clan was desperate for food and we finally found a rabbit. It was near a RiverClan lake, sipping up water. "Careful Redsun. The stones near the lake are icy and the lake is nearly completely frozen." I said with caution. Redsun just looked at me and said "I'm doing it for the Clan, sis." His last words. Redsun cross the border and silently approached the rabbit that was on an icy stone. He caught the big rabbit a killed it. He tossed me the prey with his mouth. His last catch. Then, Redsun started to walk off the stone he was on and then, Crash! Redsun, my beloved brother, died. He had slipped on the ice landed on the frozen lake. The small lake didn't crack, the ice was so hard and thick. I started crying at once. "Redsun, Redsun, Redsun?!?!?!" I yowled. Then, at that moment, I realized he now hunts for StarClan. I carried Redsun across the WindClan border so he was not in RiverClan and had Icefur and Fernlight help me bring Redsun back to camp. I cried the whole way. All the cats came around to see what had happened. The whole time, I could not stop crying. Icefur, Flamestrike, Fernlight, and Onewhisker kept on trying to calm me down. That night, I sat vigil with him. I was so sad. Icefur and Flamestrike rubbed against me and kept telling me everything was going to be ok. "I feel so lonely now. Because you two are in a relationship and Sparkheart and Spottedeye are going to have kits. You all are my best friends and it is hard." I explained to Icefur and Flamestrike. "Listen Hawkfire. I'm sure Redsun is happy in StarClan and he misses you as much as we miss him. Live now and you'll find love." said Icefur. I started to cry. I'm so lonely.

What's Wrong?

Wednesday,
Icefur has been acting very strange lately. She keeps on making me hang out with her and Flamestrike. I'd love to hang out, but I think Icefur and Flamestrike should have some more time together. The thing is, She keeps on inviting me to everything. I keep on saying no, but it is because I'm not feeling well. Icefur came in the warrior den and asked me if I wanted to go to the gorge with her and Flamestrike and I passed. "Hawkfire, You've been acting very odd  lately. Is there something wrong?" Icefur asked. Just then, Flamestrike came in. "Hawkfire?" he said. "I haven't been feeling well." I replied. Just then, Icefur yowled "MY COUSIN IS SICK! BARKFACE! HELP! "  Barkface came in the warrior den just in time to see me. "Sick, you say?" asked Barkface. "Yeah, She said she isn't feeling well." said Flamestrike. "Here, Chew on these." said Barkface as he handed me some herbs. I was feeling a little bit sick, but there something else that is upsetting me. After Barkface left, I said "Icefur, Flamestrike, There's something else that is bothering me." "What is it?" asked Icefur. "The death of my brother." I sadly said. The room was silent.

Unusual Things...

Tuesday,

Flamestrike and I are going real well. It just seems odd because Hawkfire acts a bit weird when I'm around him. The other day, I was going on the moonhigh hunting patrol with Flamestrike and Onewhisker, and I asked her if she wanted to go. She said no because she was tired, but she went to the fresh-kill pile anyway. I worried and I was about to tell Barkface that she might be sick, but our patrol had to leave. I'm sure though that she is going through some stages of me hanging out with Flamestrike. I'm giving her time... Anyway, Flamestrike asked me if I wanna go to the gorge and swim a bit. I told him I'd love to, but I told Tallstar had to see me in his den for something important. I muzzled him saying that I will tomorrow. He nodded and purred to let me know that he was okay with it. I walked into Tallstar's den. "Yes Icefur. I've been expecting you. Please tell me, is Sparkheart okay?" Tallstar asked. I purred, "She's fine. Barkface says she's due anytime soon!" Tallstar nodded. "Is Hawkfire okay?" I looked a bit to the side. "I can't truly answer that. She's acting a bit strange when I'm around Flamestrike." Tallstar licked his chest. "I've been seeing that. You got to make her feel welcome around Flamestrike." "But how do I do that? Hawkfire is making excuses." I mew. "We'll find a way Icefur, we'll find a way." Tallstar purred.

Sparkheart and I

Sunday,
  I woke up early this morning to go hunting. I caught three rabbits and a vole. I put my catch on the fresh kill pile and took a chaffinch for Sparkheart. I walked into the nursery and greeted Sparkheart. "Good morning! How's everything?" "Good. I haven't gotten any nightmares." Sparkheart said. I dropped the chaffinch at Sparkheart's paws. "For me?" she asked, happily taking a bite. I smiled and asked if she wanted to go the gorge. "Let's go," said Sparkheart. Sparkheart and I headed our way to the gorge. We sat down with our paws touching the water. "How many kits do you think we are going have?" I asked.  "I don't know, but I'd like two." said Sparkheart. I smiled and said "I'd want four, but who knows." Sparkheart smiled and I gave her lick. I stepped in the water and went under. The water was nice and cold. I came up for air and told Sparkheart to come in. The water was shallow and safe for her. We were underwater and everything felt alright. The world seems so peaceful and it seemed nothing was wrong, even though life is full of dreams and worries. Sparkheart and I came out the water and meowed "I love you." After awhile, Sparkheart and I came out of the water and dried. "Sparkheart, I know nothing wrong will happen to our kits." I said. "How can you promise that?" asked Sparkheart. "Because I have you." I replied. Sparkheart blushed. "I'm just so worried, even though I have you." I smiled. We talked on and on about names and what our kits would look like. I was so relaxed about everything. Sparkheart filled me with happiness, but I had to get back with Clan duties. I took Sparkheart back to the nursery and left to go on patrol. Later that day, I feed the elders and went to talk with Icefur and Hawkfire. Later, We all went to see Sparkheart. "Hi Sparkheart!" said Icefur cheerfully. "Hi Icefur, Hawkfire, Spottedeye!" said Sparkheart. We began talking more and more about the kits and then, Hawkfire and I went hunting as Icefur talked with Sparkheart. "I wish I could spend more time with Sparkheart." I told Hawkfire. "Well you were at the gorge with Sparkheart for most of the morning and you give her food every day." said Hawkfire. "Yeah, I just care for her so much." I mewed.  Hawkfire looked thoughtfully at the ground. After awhile, she said "Let's catch some rabbits!". And off we were. Together, Hawkfire and I caught five rabbits, two voles, and two chaffinches. After a long day, I finally went to rest in the warrior den. It was a great day and the day my kits are born will be the greatest day of all.

What's going on?

Tuesday,
  "Gotcha!" I said as I pounced on a rabbit. I scraped earth on my catch and sniffed the air. "Smell anything?" asked Icefur. I turned around to see Icefur and Flamestrike. We were all hunting on a nice, sunny day. I sniffed the air again and looked at Icefur and Flamestrike. "I smell ShadowClan!" I said. They both sniffed the air and we all darted in the direction of the scent. As we ran, Flamestrike stopped us in our tracks, and ran in a different direction. Icefur and I ran after him. There we saw Stumpytail  and Cinderfur. "What are you doing in our territory?!?" hissed Flamestrike. "What do you think you are doing, going around and breaking the warrior code?" said Icefur. We hissed for them to leave. "You have no business here in WindClan!" I snapped. The ShadowClan cats hissed at us. Then, we starting chasing Stumpytail and Cinderfur out of our territory. We chased them to Fourtrees. Stumpytail ran along back towards ShadowClan and as Cinderfur followed him, he shouted "We'll be back! And soon!" And off the ShadowClan warriors went. Icefur, Flamestrike, and I ran back to camp. The three of us went to talk to Tallstar. We found him near the fresh kill, reminding me of the rabbit I caught. "Tallstar! We found ShadowClan in our territory." said Icefur. "Where?" asked Tallstar. "Heading towards Fourtrees." said Flamestrike. "Where are they now?" Tallstar asked. "We chased them out of WindClan and Cinderfur said they would be back soon."  I replied. "How many cats were there?" Tallstar said. "Two, Cinderfur and Stumpytail." meowed Flamestrike. "Thank you for the information, now. We'll need to double patrols now," said Tallstar. "We don't need anymore chaos now."  We all worriedly smiled. Then, we went back to collect our prey and got ready for the next patrol. What were the ShadowClan cats doing in our territory? And what are they coming back for?

Trouble Arises

Tuesday,

"Spottedeye! Come quick!" I yowl. "Sparkheart! They're beautiful!" Spottedeye cries. Two adorable kits lay next to my side. "This one is a boy, and that's a girl." I point with my tail. Spottedeye cries even more. Then two ShadowClan warriors barge in! They take the kits and run out! "NOOO!!!!!" I yell. I wake up panting real hard. I realize I'm just in the nursery. "Oh StarClan..." I breathe. I collapse onto my side. Spottedeye comes in with a chaffinch. "Hey, I came back from the super early hunting patrol." He muffles through feathers. He drops it next to me. "I'm still a bit tired." He yawns. "So how are the kits?" He asks. "Uh... They're fine." I mew. I play with the chaffinch. Spottedeye stiffens. "Please don't tell me something happened!" "No! Not that! I had another dream," I began. He starts to open mouth. "And it's not a 2% dream! ShadowClan takes my kits!" I mew. Spottedeye puts his head down. He moans. "I feel sick..." I start to worry. What will happen?

On the other side of the Nursery,

Two cats snicker and nod. They run back in the opposite direction of WindClan camp.

Jealous?

Monday,
I haven't talked to Icefur ever since Thursday. Flamestrike, Sparkheart, and Spottedeye told Tallstar about our quarrel and today, he called Icefur and I to talk with him in his den. "Icefur, Hawkfire. I heard you had a fight at the gorge on Thursday morning." Tallstar said.  "Yeah." Icefur and I mewed. "What was going on?" asked Tallstar. "I was upset when I saw Flamestrike and Icefur at the gorge together," I said. "Icefur was so interested in Flamestrike. She would talk and talk with him and ignore me. They would act like littermates, and make me feel like he was related to Icefur and not me!" "Hawkfire, You have a point. You're jealous of Flamestrike." said Tallstar. "Hawkfire, You are jealous?!?" asked Icefur, a lot more calm than the night at the gorge. "I guess I was. You know. Icefur, I'm so sorry about what happened at the gorge. I should not have let my jealousy get in the way of your relationship." I said. "No, I'm sorry. I am sorry I tackled you. I was angry." Icefur replied. "And you had every right to be." I said, licking her. Icefur and I aren't fighting anymore and Flamestrike is Icefur's girlfriend! Flamestrike and I also became good friends. We went hunting this morning and caught four rabbits. The weather is getting really nice. It is still pretty cold, but the sun is shining and the forest is healthy. Good weather, Good moods.

WHAT!?!?

Thursday,

Spottedeye and I were laying down outside, Spottedeye licking my ear. Then I heard and smelled Flamestrike. He came towards us and mewed quickly, "I need your help guys!" Me and Spottedeye quickly glanced at each other and nodded. We followed him through the exit and went towards the gorge. We stared through heather bushes for any alert while Flamestrike told us what happened. But then he told me and Spottedeye something important: "When I started leaving, I heard Icefur and Hawkfire... arguing. I ran quickly to you guys so you can help me." We set out to the gorge and when we got there, we hid behind another set of bushes. We saw just as we expected: Icefur and Hawkfire arguing. "What?!?" Icefur mewed. Hawkfire looked away from Icefur. "Hawkfire?" Icefur said. "Nothing, Just go away. Away with Flamestrike. Go and live happily away from me and have a little family." I gasped quietly under my breath as Hawkfire said those words. Great StarClan! What's happening? I thought. Then Icefur bared her teeth and hissed, "I can't believe you!" Spottedeye widened his eyes in shock. Flamestrike stared with sad eyes. Then she tackled Hawkfire and.... pinned her down! Icefur was dripping wet and her claws were unsheathed. "I was right." Hawkfire  hissed. "You are not the cousin I know." I can soon tell that Flamestrike was upset. Me and Spottedeye glanced at each other and looked with I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-I'M-SEEING-THIS!!! eyes. Flamestrike had enough and he was holding back tears, and ran out there! "Icefur?!?" he mewed when Icefur was about to scratch out her eyes. Me and Spottedye nodded and yowled, "STOP!!!!!" Icefur backed off of Hawkfire and stood up. We came out from behind Flamestrike. We took places between the two, me at facing Hawkfire, Spottedeye facing Icefur. We growled at what was our past mentors. Though mine was Icefur, I don't care as long as we got them separated. Flamestrike padded to Icefur and looked with sad eyes. Then he looked with Hawkfire with the same look. "How long have you been here?" Icefur asked. "Long enough to tell that you two are going nuts!" Spottedeye growled. Hawkfire and Icefur stood up surprised. "You've been spying on us?!?!" Icefur gasped. "Enough! Soon me and Spottedeye will have the strongest bond! Do you want that to happen?" I yowled. Then we heard a RiverClan cat complain, "What in StarClan's name is that noise? I wanna go to sleep!" Then we heard another say, "I don't know, but it must SHUT UP!!!!!" Icefur walked away and looked with pleading eyes at Flamestrike and he came towards her. "I need to tell Tallstar, he'll know what to do."

Icefur and Flamestrike

Wednesday,
 As I heard the words come out of Flamestrike's mouth, "Icefur, Will you be my-", I cried "ICEFUR! What are you doing?!?!" Icefur and Flamestrike popped up and looked at me surprised. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. "Hawkfire? What are you doing here?" Icefur asked. "Uh, I'll see you two later." said Flamestrike, disappearing from the gorge. I sniffed, fighting back more tears. "I was right. You are not the cousin I know and love." "So what? Why can't I find love?!?" retorted Icefur. "You are just changing! Flamestrike is a perfect match for you, but it's not like we are litter mates anymore." I told her. "What?!?" Icefur was obviously confused. I realized this was all my fault. She was right that I had no use in stopping them. "Hawkfire?" Icefur said as I looked away. "Nothing, Just go away. Away with Flamestrike. Go and live happily away from me and have a little family." I said to her. She could tell I wasn't ready for her to "grow up". But Icefur just hissed at me. "I can't believe you!" she spat. Then, She tackled me and pinned me to the ground. Her paws were wet and her claws were sharp. "I was right." I repeated. "You are not the cousin I know." Icefur was furious, I could see it in her eyes. Is this what love makes you into? Suddenly, Flamestrike came through the bushes and saw Icefur about to swipe my eyes out. "Icefur?!?"

Flamestrike!

Tuesday,

I look into the water. I laid down next to the it and tucked my paws. "Hey." I hear a voice. I turn around and see... FLAMESTRIKE! I yowl in surprise and tumble into the water. I get up to see Flamestrike laughing. I spit water out of my mouth and get out. "Isn't that water cold for you?" he asked. "What do you think?" I reply as I shake water from my pelt. "Probably not because of that fluffy fur of yours." he responds. "Oh really! You're correct! Now let's see it for you!" I yowl as I tackle him into the water. He rises from the surface and splashes water onto me. "You're right Icefur; it is nice." he mewed. I go underwater and use my paws to swim. I learned it's like walking, just underwater! Then me and Flamestrike go underneath and look at each other for a long moment. We rise to the surface and take a breath of air. "Wait, Icefur. Stay still underwater real quick, okay?" he mews. I nod and go under. He goes under and reaches me. He nuzzles my head. I'm surprised by the sudden feeling. I purr and let loose. We swim up to the water. He mews, "Icefur, remember when we were in the nursery, we snook out of camp and took a swim in the water? Your mom was mad but amused by us swimming like RiverClan cats." I nod as I remember that memory. "This is what it feels like," he continues. "When we were kits." He takes a breath. "Icefur, I'm ready to say this." I blush. "Will you be my-"

Confessions

Monday,

As I raced away from Spottedeye, fighting back tears, I ran into Flamestrike. "Hey have you seen Icefur?" he asked. I quickly answered, "By the gorge. I think she went for a walk or something." He walked off in the direction of the gorge. I stared at him. What does he want? I thought. I bit back a bitter retort. Especially with Icefur! Wouldn't he be better off with the senior warriors for StarClan's sake? I saw Spottedeye behind me. "Okay Sparkheart, this is for real. Tell me what's wrong." I looked down. "You know you can tell me anything Sparkheart." Spottedeye mewed. "That's what friends, or mates, are for." I took a deep breath. "I'm having new nightmares. This time, it's about me looking in a river, with you and the kits. Then the river turns to ice, and I look through to see green long snakes with spikes on their backs and a tail-length muzzle coming through the ice and drowning us. The kits are left alone." Spottedeye lays down and put his paws over his head and moans. "Here we go again!" I'm took back by shock. "WHAT?!?!" I scream. "Sparkheart, you're dream has a possibility of 2%! My dream has a much higher rate then yours." Spottedeye explains. I get worried. I can tell it in Spottedeye's eyes as well. Whatever is gonna happen, these kits might be cursed.

Okay?

Sunday,
 Okay, back to what had happened. Icefur told me Sparkheart was sleeping in the nursery. The next morning, I went into the nursery, carrying a rabbit for Sparkheart. "Good morning." I said, giving her the rabbit. "Mmmm, Fresh kill." said Sparkheart, accepting the rabbit. "Sparkheart, I need to tell you something." I told her. "Wait, hold n. Let me finish this rabbit first." Sparkheart said with her mouth full. I waited for her for about two minutes when she was finally done. "So, You wanted to talk to me about..." she said. "About our kits" I told her. "I had a dream last night that our four kits had whitecough, but it was really greencough!" Suddenly, Sparkheart looked sick. "Oh dear" she moaned. "You're having nightmares too?!?!" "Too?" I asked. Then, She got up and ran away. It seems so real that our kits could get greencough. It has like fifty-five percent chance of happening instead of your two percent chance of a wave of blood passing in the camp. Then, I started to get worried. What if our dreams become a prophecy!?!

My Horrible Dreams

Friday,
  "Spottedeye! Come quick! Look at them!" said Sparkheart. "Oh my gosh!" I said, tearing up. Sparkheart have given birth to four healthy kits! Suddenly, Icefur came into the nursery and said "Spottedeye! Wake up! Wake up!" I awoke suddenly, realizing it was all a dream. Icefur was there in the Warrior den, trying to wake me up. "C'mon! You are on patrol!" Icefur hissed at me. I got up and walked out the den with her. After patrol duty, I went into the nursery to see Sparkheart. She was resting when I saw her in there. I pawed at her carefully to wake her up. "Hello sleepy head" I said as Sparkheart opened her eyes. She smiled when she saw me and said "They're getting so big already." I looked down at her belly and gave her a rabbit I caught for her. She beamed and ate it quickly. "Rainpaw and Mousepaw's Warrior ceremony is tonight" I told her. "Oh yeah! I'm so proud of them!" said Sparkheart, sounding like a mother rather than an older sister. I smiled at her and told her I'd escort her there. I ran out of the nursery, excited, just as I bumped into Tallstar. "Oh hello there Spottdeye! You're just the cat I wanted!" he said to me. "Follow me!" I followed Tallstar into his den. "Listen, We all know about Sparkheart." he said. "Yeah, Of course." I replied. "Well, When did you first find out about Sparkheart having kits?" Tallstar asked. Then, I told him about Sparkheart and I meeting at the gorge.   I wondered if he was worried about Sparkheart's dream becoming into a prophecy. Later that day, Rainpaw became Rainsilver and Mousepaw became Mouseclaw. I fell asleep that night and dozed off in a dream. "HACK!" coughed Hollykit. "AC-HOO!" sneezed Fernkit. The kits coughed loudly. "Are they alright?" asked Sparkheart. "No, Whitecough!" said Barkface, the medicine cat tom. I gasped. "My poor kits!" Orangekit coughed again. "I'm going to need some herbs" said Barkface. "Can you get some for me?" "Of course!" I said, running out of the camp. I came back with the herbs and gave them to Barkface. "Will they be alright?" Sparkheart asked again. "We'll have to see" said Barkface. The next morning, I came back to see my four kits all coughing. Sparkheart looked at me gravely. "It's greencough!" I awoke suddenly, gasping for a breath. Hawkfire and Icefur looked at me in the Warrior den. "What's up?" asked Hawkfire. "Where is Sparkheart!?!?" I asked.

My Secret Crush

Sunday,

I stared at Sparkheart going into the nursery, Hawkfire behind her. Lucky.... I thought. But there is someone that I like. He is super strong, and very muscular. His name is Flamestrike. He's sorta like Fireheart, but darker. Many senior warriors look up to him. I remember playing with him in the nursery, pouncing on each other like little kits do. It was so much fun. His mom died of greencough after he was 3 moons old. He had no siblings, but me and him were like littermates. I had no littermates either, so we were purr-fect. I snapped back to reality when Hawkfire nudged me. "Why are you like that? Staring at Flamestrike?" She teased. "I'm not! I was just seeing what he was up to." I retorted. "No.... You are being..... moony." Hawkfire breathed. I blushed and ran away. Then I saw Hawkfire chasing me. She pounced on me. She held me down, and I couldn't escape. "Just tell me!" Hawkfire hissed. Then she gasped. "You.... and him.... YOU LIKE HIM?!?!?!?!?" She got up. "This is not the cousin I know." I looked at the floor as she turned tail and walked away.

Kits

Late Saturday night,
Thank StarClan for a great cat like Tallstar. The fight didn't last for long. Tallstar found out what happened and roared for ShadowClan to leave. Just in time too! Wetfoot was about to slash his claws into Sparkheart! Spottedeye ran to Sparkheart after ShadowClan left. Luckily, Sparkheart said she was all right. After that, Sparkheart went to bed really early. "I think we should move you into the nursery." I said to Sparkheart when I found her in the Warrior den. Sparkheart suddenly smiled at me and I led her into the Nursery. Sparkheart's mother was in there with her new kits. "Hi mom, Congrats!" said Sparkheart. "Oh honey, I can't believe this day had come! You're having your own kits!" said Sunpetal. After that, I left them alone and went with Icefur to go hunting for the Clan. I overheard that Rainpaw and Mousepaw; Sparkheart's siblings;are becoming Warriors! Maybe Sunpetal's kits will become fine Warriors some day too! Sunpetal had her second "batch" of kits already! Maybe I might have kits; Maybe.

Sparkheart's Kits

Saturday,
   It is crazy at WindClan. Rumor has it Sparkheart is having kits. She has been having nightmares and according to Barkface, it's a sign. After Sparkheart told Spottedeye she was having kits, He totally freaked out. He scurried to see Icefur and I and told us the news. We ran to see Sparkheart right after. "I tried to tell him lightly, to tell all of you. But I knew it was too late; I felt a little kick last night." said Sparkheart. Spottedeye bursted into tears afterwards. I was pretty sure they were tears of joy. "Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a father!" shouted Spottedeye. "When are you due?" asked Icefur after we all stared at Spottedeye for a minute. "In three moons" she replied. That's when Tallstar overheard us. "Sparkheart! It's official? Why! Congrats!" he said. "Oh, yeah. Felt a kick last night!" said Sparkheart shyly. That night, I slept in excitement. Then, this morning, ShadowClan attacked us! What cowards! We all had to protect Sunpetal's new kits (Sparkheart's mother)! I could see the look in Sparkheart's eyes. Fear. She didn't want this to happen with her and her kits. I fought off Cinderfur with Icefur and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Wetfoot clawing a defenseless Sparkheart, one week pregnant!

Time to Tell The Truth

Friday,

I decided it was time to tell Barkface about my dreams. I dropped my prey on the prey pile and padded to Barkface's den, fast. I told him about my dream, and he nodded along as I told. When I finished, he shuffled his paws. "That might be a sign." Barkface mewed. I gasped, and padded away slowly, and quickly turned tail and ran. Then I bumped into Spottedeye. "Going somewhere?" he playfully mewed. "I need to tell you something." I took a deep breath and continued. "Barkface says my dreams might be a sign." Spottedeye put his paw on mine and brushed his tail along my spine. "It's okay. As long as you don't have kits, the prophecy might not come true." "You'll be okay with that?" I asked. "Yes Sparkheart, to save anyone's future." Spottedeye said. I took a quick glance at my paws and looked straight at him with sad eyes. "It might be too late....."

Worries

Sunday,
Sparkheart has been acting very strange lately. I think she might be worried about having kits or something. She has been having, well, NIGHTMARES!! I keep asking her what's the matter and then she would just run away. I'm scared for her. While we were hunting this morning, I told her we had to talk. I just love Sparkheart so much and I'm very frightened for her. We were going to meet at our usual place, the gorge. I'll just have to see until then.
Later that day,
I waited for Sparkheart at the gorge. I heard a cat coming, so I twirled around, thinking it was Sparkheart. But instead, It was Hawkfire. "What goes on?" I asked her. "I was wondering where you were and what you're doing." she said. I told her I was waiting for Sparkheart and explained how I knew something was wrong. "Oh, Yeah. Poor Sparkheart." sighed Hawkfire. After that, She dashed out of the gorge. I waited a few more minutes when finally Sparkheart showed up. She started crying when I asked her about what was going on. Then, She told me about her nightmares of me and our future kits dying. I told her there was nothing to be afraid of. "If you keep worrying about things that only have a two percent chance of happening, You're going to miss your happiness. Your kits, your life, me." I told her. For a moment, We looked each other in the eyes and I saw tears of joy coming out of Sparkheart's eyes."Sparkheart, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. No, I mean I want to spend the rest of our life together." Sparkheart and I were so happy, You could feel the love. We happily went back to the WindClan camp. We told Icefur, Hawkfire, and Tallstar everything. And we all were very happy. I don't have many worries, especially with Sparkheart by my side.

Oh my StarClan

Saturday,

When Spottedeye said yes to be my mate, I nearly cried. Oh my StarClan.... is this truly what love feels like? I try to get on every patrol or hunt with him, and I get almost on all the patrols and hunts with him. But why does Onewhisker eye me speciously? Is there something wrong with me becoming mates with Spottedeye? I just want a mate, and me and Spottedeye are really good friends. StarClan knows, maybe we have a stronger bond compared with Icefur and Hawkfire! Probably not though. But here's the thing: I keep on having nightmares that go like this; I huddle around my newborn kits, and a flood comes in camp. But the flood is not water; it's actually blood! And then I see my kits and Spottedeye; dead. I want to protect Spottedeye, and my maybe future kits. And I know a wave of blood will not come into camp, but it seems so realistic, that I can't take it! Mudclaw always wakes me up, and always will say this: "Some cats are TRYING to get some SLEEP here!" I know I'm squirming in my dreams, but does Mudclaw have to be that mean? I had a NIGHTMARE fur-ball! Anyway, I asked Tallstar about my dreams, and he always says the same thing: "I can't tell you if it's a prophecy or not. But if you're absolutely certain, ask Barkface about it." I soon might confront Barkface about it, but not yet. I still wanna wait a little longer. Spottedeye, if I can only tell you without getting frightened.

Sparkheart and me

Tuesday,
I woke up this morning and thought hard about what happened last night. I returned to FourTrees to check on Gust. It was odd seeing him. He asked if I would lead him back to the Twoleg place. I agreed, but it was risky. It would be to close to ThunderClan. I guided him to the Owl tree and tried to get past the River. Gust blinked and told me he knew the rest of the way. Relieved, I ran back to the WindClan camp. One down, One more to go. I  just had to find out what she needed to tell me. I found her by the prey pile, dropping off some fresh prey. "Hey" I said, scaring her a bit. Sparkheart whirled around and saw it was only me. "Oh, Hi." she said. "Listen, We got to talk." I said, sounding serious. "What did you have to talk to me about?" She stared me in the eyes and said three powerful words. "I love you." I looked at her in awe and said "I love you too." She jumped on me, giving me a big hug. We smiled and went hunting together talking about everything that was on our minds. We retuned with two chaffinchs, five rabbits, and 3 mice. As we added them to the prey pile, Sparkheart told me she had to talk with me. We went to the Warrior's den and talked to me there in private. "Now that we are Warriors, I was thinking we could have kits." said Sparkheart. I looked at her and smiled. My own kits! Sparkheart's eyes lit up when she saw I was smiling. "I'm going to tell Icefur and Hawkfire!" mewed Sparkheart. When Sparkheart told them the news, Icefur said to Hawkfire "They are perfect together!" So, Soon Sparkheart and I are going to mate. It'll work out, I hope.

Sparkheart

Monday,
It has been good in WindClan. Sparkpaw or should I say Sparkheart is now a Warrior and not many battles had happened with the Clan. This morning, I caught some prey for the Clan and added it to the pile. After that, I went on patrol. That's when Sparkheart told me she wanted to meet me at gorge that night. I agreed to see her there. Later that day, I finished eating a vole and started to trot to the gorge. But, I was stopped by Tallstar. "Where are you going?" he asked. "I'm going to the gorge to meet Sparkheart." I replied. "Just curious." said Tallstar, slowly moving away from me. Then I dashed to the gorge. I found Sparkheart there, staring into the water. "Hey there" I mewed. "Oh, There you are!" she said. "It's exciting that now we are both Warriors now" I said. "Yeah, Icefur me trained so well" Sparkheart said. "Hawkfire was such a help! My other mentor was good, but she taught me so much!" "Yeah.." said Sparkheart trailing off. "So. What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. "Oh! Since, We are Warriors now, I was thinking..." ,then her voice trailed off. All of a sudden, We saw a shadow of cat. Thinking it was another Clan cat, Sparkheart ran back to the WindClan camp. I stayed at the gorge, realizing it was only Gust, a kittypet I had met around the time I met Sparkheart! I asked him what he was doing at the gorge and he told me he was lost. I leaded him the the FourTrees and told him the rest in a soft bush. I ran back to WindClan and saw Sparkheart was asleep. My mind is running wild. What did Sparkheart need to tell me?

Warrior Ceremony For Sparkpaw.

Sunday,

I talked with Spottedeye, Hawkfire, and Tallstar about Sparkpaw becoming a warrior. "I think she should. It's time she became an warrior." Spottedeye mewed. Hawkfire nodded, "I agree." "But what about Sparkpaw's litter mates? Will they become warriors?" I asked. Tallstar shook his head, "No. They didn't fight like she did. Plus, Sparkpaw is really ready to become a warrior." I slowly nodded. Hawkfire and Spottedeye gleamed with pleasure. "Icefur, what shall be Sparkpaw's warrior name?" Tallstar asked. "I know." Icefur answered. She whispered the name into Tallstar's ear. Tallstar nodded in agreement. 

At dusk,

"May all cats gather under the Gorge to hear my words!" Tallstar yowls. I follow Sparkpaw going under the Gorge. Sparkpaw looks at Tallstar. "I, Tallstar, leader of WindClan, call upon my warrior anscestors to look down on this apprentice, Sparkpaw." Tallstar takes a breath and continues. "Sparkpaw, do you promise to stay by the Warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even if it costs your life?" Sparkpaw nods and says, "I do." "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name; Sparkpaw, from this moment on, you'll be known as Sparkheart." Tallstar leans forward and rests his muzzle on her head, and Sparkheart returns with a lick on his shoulder. Sparkheart turns around and everyone yowls her new warrior name. "Sparkheart! Sparkheart!" Me, Spottedeye, and Hawkfire are the loudest. This day is great for WindClan, especially because a new warrior has joined.

Danger?

Friday,
 What a night! First of all, Sparkpaw set and saved us from danger. You know Fishnose? (More like Bloodynose!)Sparkpaw's action was funny, but Fishnose really did tell Crookedstar! How did RiverClan handle it? They planned an attack on us! I was eating a rabbit I had just killed when Blackclaw pounced on me. I threw him off and signaled the Clan. Icefur clawed him and then, Fishnose and Crookedstar jumped out from a bush. "There she is!" said Fishnose, nodding towards Sparkpaw. Fishnose jumped to Sparkpaw, but Sparkpaw was quick! She escaped in the matter of seconds before Fishnose landed on top of her. Confused, Fishnose looked around for her. Then, She jumped on his back and swiped some Fishnose's light brown fur off his back. She bit his neck with her sharp teeth. Fishnose threw her off and then started redeeming himself. Meanwhile, Icefur continued her fight with Blackclaw. I helped Tallstar fight off Crookedstar. He was tough, but with Tallstar helping me, we were a great team! Mudclaw fought Leopardfur with Spottedeye. Some RiverClan apprentices started battling our Clan's apprentices. Icefur finished off Blackclaw and went to battle Whiteclaw. After a bit, It was Tallstar and I fighting Crookedstar, Icefur finishing Leopardfur, Spottedeye taking care of Whiteclaw, Rainpaw and Mousepaw challenged the RiverClan apprentices and brave Sparkpaw battling Fishnose who was very determined. Then, It was so crazy. Fishnose threw Sparkpaw off his back and into a tree! Trimphantly, Fishnose did a little dance, but Sparkpaw clawed the side of the tree. After a minute, She leaped onto Leopardfur and went tumbling. After Sparkpaw left Leopardfur confused and in pain, She jumped onto Whiteclaw (Accidently) and threw her on the ground unconscious. Then, She raced up a tree and fell down, landing on Crookedstar. Due to all the confusion, RiverClan left and most of us were safe and okay. Sparkpaw saved us and she was working hard. Tallstar was really proud of her after tonight. Maybe it's time for her.

Hunting Test!

Thursday,

Today, since Icefur is now better, I am able to do the hunting test! The hunting test is simple, I have to catch all of the following prey: rabbit, thrush, squirrel, and mouse. (Yuck! Mouse!) I ran out as fast as I could, telling Icefur what she missed while she was in the boring medicine den. "AndthenmeandSpottedeyewentoutforawalkandthenIpracticedhuntingwithFernlightdidImentionshewasniceandthen-" Icefur flicked her tail to my mouth and said, "Do you want to do the hunting test, learn to shut your mouth in a while, be patient, or check the elders for ticks?" I widened my eyes and exclaimed, "DEFINITELY not the last three!" "Then be quiet and start doing the hunting test!" Icefur meowed. I ran towards the scent of rabbit that I scented earlier. I stepped lightly and slithered like a snake and caught it! I buried it for later. Then I picked up a scent of thrush, and then I saw it; nibbling on a seed. I put my paws lightly on the ground, and leapt, but then it fluttered and took off! I jumped really high and I snatched with my claws. I padded a bit forward, and then my nose hit a stench, not squirrel, but a cat! I recognized the scent; salty with a tang of fish; RiverClan. Then I saw it; a sleek ginger tom fishing, on our side of the border! I ran towards it, and yelled, "Hey coward! That's our side of the border, RABBIT-BRAIN!" He turned around, and I realized who he was; Fishnose, a recently made warrior. He turned toward's me and hissed, "Who are you calling Rabbit-brain! Toad-dung!" I gaped my mouth and then did my battle cry, "GRRAWRR!" I launched at him, and scratched his nose, making it bleed. "You're gobba pay for dat, toad-fung!"he growled, his nose bleeding badly. He launched at me, but I dodged him and I used my hing legs to kick him into the water. He bobbled up and down, his face barley showing. He swam to the other side, and hissed, "I'm gobba tell Crookedtar!" He ran toward camp. To make long story short, I passed my hunting test and beated up a RiverClan warrior! Tallstar and Icefur were amused, and made me have first pick of the prey pile.

The Dark Night

Monday,
  Tallstar knows what he is doing. Tallstar is always right, Most of the time. I was scared when he told me this. They were not safe. I told Icefur the news and we both agreed to keep them safe. I kept an eye on Spottedeye. He was (of course) a Warrior now, not my apprentice. He went hunting for the Clan and then, he helped Icefur teach Sparkpaw. After that, He shared a meal with Sparkpaw and went to sleep early. Or that's what I thought. Spottedpaw awoke and went towards the RiverClan camp. (Of course he didn't go in it,but he met around the middle) He met Sparkpaw there, waiting for him. They were alone for awhile, but then, Whiteclaw, a RiverClan dark Warrior, overheard them. He attacked Sparkpaw. Spottedeye jumped onto Whiteclaw, trying to protect Sparkpaw. Whiteclaw threw Spottedeye off his back. He clawed Spottedeye. Sparkpaw tried to defend Spottedeye, but Whiteclaw just threw her off. Tallstar jumped in front of them and shouted. Then, RiverClan's leader, Crookedstar, tackled Tallstar! They broke into battle. Tallstar pinned Crookedstar to the ground, while Spottedeye took care of Whiteclaw. Then, RiverClan cats started coming out to battle. Sparkpaw rushed back to WindClan, calling for help. That was when she explained everything to Icefur and I. I scolded her and could not believe how much trouble WindClan was getting into. We came to the Battle scene and found it near the Four Trees! It was dangerous, It could alarm the other Clans we were there. Sure enough, ShadowClan came. Cinderfur noticed me and pounced right on top of me. I threw him off like a grain of sand. But, He quickly got up. He pinned me to the ground and bit me. Blood splattered on my fur, but I did not give up! I threw him off and pinned him to the ground. I looked around and saw all the cats fighting. It looked like ShadowClan and RiverClan paired up and tried to defeat us. But, No. I was wrong, It was far worse than that!!! ThunderClan had come too! Fireheart saw me and Cinderfur battling. Guessing he was still mad, He charged at me! Icefur was busy with her battle too. She was trying to fight off Tigerclaw! He pinned her to the ground, hissing in fiery. I quickly threw Cinderfur off me and attacked Fireheart when he meant to attack me!! I swiped his face, making it all bloody. He quickly backed off when Cinderfur tackled me! I threw him off and he hit his head on a tree trunk. Cinderfur was unconscious and so then, Fireheart knew it was his chance. He jumped on me and I threw him off my back. But, he pounced right back on. Then, I felt my back getting heavy. Sparkpaw jumped on Fireheart   and tried to rip him off my back. She did do that, but then Fireheart battled her! He swiped her, making her bleed. Sparkpaw jumped back on him an sank her teeth into his fur. She called him a "kittypet". Fireheart and I were both surprised. But, Fireheart got mad too. He jumped on her, almost crushing her! I quickly got him off of Sparkpaw and bit his tail. He threw me to the ground. Fireheart clawed my neck, making it hard for me to breath. I couldn't do anything else, but die. Then, Spottedeye attacked Fireheart! He threw him off of me and fought him. He told me to go. I ran to fight another cat. I saw our Clan. We were all fighting. A bunch of cats from all four of the Clans were gone/defeated. It was only Tallstar, Bluestar, Nightpelt, Crookedstar, Icefur, Spottedeye, Sparkpaw, Fernlight, Leopardfur, Fireheart, Graystripe, Tigerclaw, Stumpytail, Darkflower, Blackclaw, and Silverstream. (Of course me also) There wasn't many cats left, but WindClan was growing too weak. And all the cats were battling against us! The Clan leaders all fought one another, Icefur fought Tigerclaw, Graystripe and Blackclaw fought Fernlight, Spottedeye was taking care of Fireheart. Sparkpaw tried to fight Leopardfur, but he knocked her unconscious. There was only five cats defending us as WindClan, including me. I fought Leopardfur and Silverstream. They both attacked me and I felt weak. Luckily, Tigerclaw had enough of Icefur and ran away. "Coward" cuffed Icefur. She noticed I needed help with Leopardfur and Silverstream, so she tackled Silverstream. By that time, Only nine cats were still in battle. Tallstar, Bluestar, Crookedstar, Icefur, Fernlight, Fireheart, Stumpytail, Blackclaw, and I. Icefur pounced on Fireheart when he defeated Spottedeye. I broke into a battle with Blackclaw. Fernlight and Tallstar fought Bluestar and Crokedstar. Stumpytail attacked Icefur as she was pinning Fireheart to the ground. The Warriors battled one another until I finished off Blackclaw and came to help Icefur. We were both incredibly weak, but we knew we had to protect WindClan. I fought Firheart again. I threw him into a thorny bush. Fireheart came out with his fur covered in green thorns. "That's a good look for you" I laughed. He was weak and hurt from the thorns, so he was done. Then, Icefur and I both battled Stumpytail. I pinned him to the ground while Icefur fircely clawed him. We left him bleeding while we both noticed Bluestar and Fernlight battling on a high rock. (As you can tell, This huge battle moved from place to place) Fernlight was on the edge. Bluestar tried to pull her fur when BAM! Fernlight fell off the high rock and was on the cracked ground, dead. Bluestar opened her jaw wide and mewed "I didn't mean to, I - I,...." This was the end of the dark battle and for our treasured Warrior, Fernlight. Fernlight was one off the best. Tallstar was going to pick her as deputy when Deadfoot died. (Deadfoot is also a great Warrior) We were sad and mad at ThunderClan. We knew it was an accident, but It did not seem like one. Back at the WindClan camp, Icefur and I rested for awhile. Sparkpaw and Spottedpaw kept saying they were sorry and admitting the big battle was all their fault. I couldn't get too mad at them, even though it was true. Tallstar was right, They are endangered, but we wouldn't need to worry about ThunderClan. Bluestar was really guilty when she "killed" Fernlight. Today, WindClan became stronger and weaker. With battling all the cats, We became stronger. But with losing Fernlight, WindClan got weaker.

Spottedpaw or should I say...

Friday,
   Yes, We all heard rumors. And yes, It is true. I argued with Tallstar, feeling tensed and scared. I was worried if it was the right choice or not. But then, I relaxed. I thought of how great Spottedpaw was at hunting and how much he improved at fighting and defense. He was going to be a wonderful Warrior! Sparkpaw needs more moons of training, especially after her kidnapped in ShadowClan. But, she will be a good Warrior too. WindClan is (luckily) getting stronger! And lately, There has been many rabbits and mice around our camp. Icefur is feeling better, just like me. It took us both a day to recover after Monday! It was all coming so quickly for Spottedpaw and I. It seems like yesterday when we saved him out of ThunderClan. He was ready, Spottedpaw is a fast, strong, WindClan Warrior! We all gathered around and shared licks. Onewhisker was excited to Spottedpaw and how much he grew. Thinking about when we saved him and now, He grew like weed! Tallstar called Spottedpaw to come towards him. I could see he was a little nervous. "I, Tallstar, leader of WindClan, call upon my Warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice, Spottedpaw." Tallstar said. He took a deep breath  and continued. "Spottedpaw, Do you promise to stay by the Warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even if it costs your life?" Spottedpaw suddenly thought of Sparkpaw. "I do," he mewed.  "By the powers of StarClan, I give you your Warrior name: Spottedpaw, from this moment on you'll be known as Spottedeye!" said Tallstar. I couldn't help, but smile. I ran towards Spottedpaw or should I say Spottedeye. His name was perfect for him! I gave a lick and mewed "Spottedeye!" Tallstar said " Your bravery, courage, and strength has lead you to become a full Warrior! StarClan will honor you." It was a great day. Spottedeye could help Icefur teach Sparkpaw. We really need to help Sparkpaw. Everytime we lose her, She gets weaker and weaker. The problem is, Sparkpaw is too distracted by Spottedeye (Spottedpaw; in the past). That is what can danger her. Tallstar talked to me after Spottedeye was a full Warrior. He told something that was serious. "Spottedeye and Sparkpaw are endangered."
~HF

Spottedpaw...

Thursday,

Ever since Spottedpaw saved my life, I was very grateful for him. But I shouldn't have left him in such danger. And it's my fault that Icefur and Hawkfire are still pretty weak. And because my mentor is still being treated to, my mentor currently is Fernlight. She is pretty nice; giving me tips and what I can do better and stuff like that. Plus, there has been rumors of Spottedpaw soon becoming a warrior. Every time I hear those words, I look at Spottedpaw; he just shrugs and smiles. One night, I ask Spottedpaw if he wants to take a walk. He cocks his head, but then he nods. We walk out of camp, and go to the gorge. He then asks me, "Why did you go to find me that night?" and I reply, "Because, I, I, I-" I stammer over my own words. "Because I what?" he meows. "I needed you." I mew. It seemed hard just to cough up those few words. He purrs and licks my cheek. "It's true." he mews. "What?" I ask. "I'm becoming a warrior; tomorrow night." he meows, his head low. "I didn't want to tell you, because I thought you were gonna be heartbroken." I purr. "It's ok. Tallstar says with the training I'm getting, I'll be a warrior soon." We stay there all night, each purring with joy.

Finding Sparkpaw

Wednesday,
    Icefur, Spottedpaw, and I needed to find Sparkpaw. For all we know, She could be super weak or hungry! This almost reminds me of the quest Icefur and I did to save Spottedpaw. We just had to get in the ShadowClan camp. There were ShadowClan cats patrolling the area. "We were here." I said, sniffing the air. I could smell Sparkpaw's scent. Sure enough, It led to ShadowClan. We all knew we had to sneak in and out, instead of making a scene. (Friday's was big enough!) Icefur peered into ShadowClan and saw Sparkpaw! We saw a bit of her in a dugged-up hole. She could breath, but we had to get her out. Icefur and I dug a hole. Spottedpaw and Icefur climbed under like moles, while I kept guard. I whispered some warnings down the hole. I knew Icefur had ears like a hawk. When I saw a bit of Icefur's fur by where Sparkpaw was, I knew it was going to be okay. I climbed in the hole and caught up with them. We found Sparkpaw lying in the hole. She looked like she was sleeping. "Sparkpaw! Wake up, C'mon!" hissed Icefur. Sparkpaw woke up and sprang to her feet. "Thanks goodness you guys are here!" she said. We guided her back in the hole while she explained everything. She was taken out of a net and put in the hole. She was watched for a few hours, but then she fell asleep and her "guard" went away. We reached the opening of the hole and one by one, We climbed out. But, We were not alone. Nightpelt and Cinderfur were right there, standing beside Icefur, Spottedpaw, Sparkpaw, and I. "Think you are getting away so easy?" snarled Cinderfur. "Think again!" He pounced right on top of me. I threw him off my back swiftly and tackled him. Cinderfur got back up, but I was too quick. I pinned him back to the ground and swiped off his gray fur. Red and gray fur was on the ground as we battled away. I bit his leg and he started limping. I tried to pin him to the ground again, but he quickly ran back to ShadowClan camp. Meanwhile, Icefur was battling Nightpelt. She looked weak too. I tackled Nightpelt, but he threw me off his back. I just could not go on. Blood was trickling down my fur, giving it a different shade of red. Icefur knew I was weak too. The apprentices were scared, but they kept on trying to bite the heels of Nightpelt. Nightpelt tried to focus on defeating Icefur, but the apprentices annoyed him. I layed there watching Icefur beating Nightpelt, but then Nightpelt turned to Sparkpaw. He shot a nasty look at her and said "You miss our friend Dishtail? Well, Why not pay him a visit!" He ran right towards Sparkpaw, his claws ready to sink into her. But, Spottedpaw acted quick. He jumped in front of Sparkpaw and having Nightpelt get him instead. Sparkpaw ran back to WindClan as fast as she could. Icefur followed her, making sure she was alright. Nightpelt was trimphant, He left Spottedpaw lying there. I rushed over to him, Spottedpaw could be dead! I licked his fur in grief. I carried him carefully on my back. I trotted back to WindClan and brought Spottedpaw to Barkface. I was super frightened. Sparkpaw rushed over to see if he was okay. Suddenly, Spottedpaw opened his eyes and weakly mewed "Hawkfire? Is that you?" I couldn't help being so reliefed. Icefur and Sparkpaw lit up when they saw Spottedpaw. We were all extremely weak, Espeaically Spottedpaw. We all rested and were taken care of by Barkface. The reason is, Spottedpaw and Sparkpaw are both safe. Tallstar had to talk to me about Spottedpaw, He said "It was time."

My Mistake

Thursday morning,

I made a huge mistake that I shouldn't have done. After when I ditched Icefur to see Spottedpaw, I ran straight to WindClan camp. I asked Barkface for Spottedpaw, and he said they were looking for marigold near ShadowClan border. I ran straight for the border. I learned scents the day before, so I picked their scents up immediately. I found some marigold stems near the ground, which meant that they were nearby. Then my ears pricked, and I heard a cat. Then a thick-furred black tom staring straight at me. "Hey guys!" he yelled. "I found a little cute apprentice on ShadowClan border!" Then two other cats jumped out. A gray tom and a tabby tom with a stumpy tail came out. "What is it Nightpelt?" asked the gray tom. "Smells like WindClan." mewed the stumpy tail tom. "Who cares Cinderfur and Stumpytail? Lets bring her back to camp." Nightpelt chuckled. "Yes Nightpelt!" the cats meowed. They banged my head on the ground, making me unconscious. Next time I woke up, I was in a net. "What is happening?" I mewed. I stared around. ShadowClan camp! "She is secure Nightpelt." meowed Cinderfur. I gasped. "Nightpelt! Wait a minute, you're the one that killed Dishtail!" And now that brings back to the present. "And I murdered Livereye. Isn't that sweet?" Cinderfur laughed. I thought, Evil Cats!

Sparkpaw and her Training

Monday,

While I was watching Sparkpaw train with me on battle moves, she would always glance back in the direction of camp. I knew that Spottedpaw and Hawkfire were back at camp, doing a favor for Barkface. But what did she need? Did she need some advice from Hawkfire? Or was she looking for Spottedpaw? It was obvious that it was the second option. Then I ran around her and bit into her tail, making Sparkpaw awake. "What do you think your doing?" she screeched. "You need to pay attention!" I snapped. "I am!" she retorted. I looked with her with calm eyes. "Do you like Spottedpaw?" I asked her. She blushed. "No! It's just we're good friends!" Then she ran off. "Hey! Our lesson isn't finished yet!" I yelled. She must've not heard me, or ignored me, because she didn't come back. Then, I ran to camp, looking for her creamy, ginger-tinted pelt. She was nowhere to be found that night. I worried for her.

Our Special Attack!

Monday,
   WindClan had thought of a stellar plan to help strengthen our Clan. We were going to attack ThunderClan! We decided this because we knew ThunderClan was out to get us. But why? ThunderClan was usually very honest with us. We were doing to attack to alert ThunderClan to stop what they were planning. Tallstar, Mudclaw, Onewhisker, Fernlight, Icefur, and I prepared ourselves for the attack. Spottedpaw really wanted to come, but Tallstar said it was too risky for him. Spottedpaw and Sparkpaw and all of the rest of apprentices stayed behind. Barkface watched on them. Then, It was time. We went pass the Four Trees and then we were set. Tallstar leaped in the ThunderClan camp and we followed. Since ThunderClan was not prepared for our attack, We started to fight. Bluestar shouted "Fools!" I bit her tail and then, She was ready to fight. She tackled me and bit my tail. I swiped her face and then I pounced on her. Bluestar threw me off her back. I was super weak and Bluestar was coming right towards me! I felt like she was going to kill me. Then, Icefur came and tackled Bluestar! Icefur battled her until Tallstar roared "STOP!" He fought Bluestar himself. Icefur quickly picked me up and bought me back to WindClan to heal. She went back to fight ThunderClan. But then, ShadowClan showed up! The Warriors from the three Clans battled one another. I wasn't there to fight, so I feared our Clan would be defeated because of one fallen Warrior (Me). I didn't really know what happened next. But Icefur told me that it all ended when Bluestar screamed "FOOLS! Stop it this instant!!! We will stop attacking you if you stop right now!" Our plan was a success, but we did not know that ShadowClan was being attacked or did they see us at ThunderClan and attacked us there?

Training Sparkpaw

Thursday,
 Spottedpaw and Sparkpaw immediately became best friends. Spottedpaw showed Sparkpaw some of the skills I taught him and she was amazed and couldn't wait to start training. Icefur and I went through the routes with Spottedpaw's help. Sparkpaw seemed super eager. Icefur taught Sparkpaw about the scents around her. Later that day, Spottedpaw caught a mouse and shared it with Sparkpaw. Icefur and I smiled. They would be perfect together. On Monday, Icefur and I had Spottedpaw to help Sparkpaw hunt. Together, They caught five mice! Icefur sent Sparkpaw off on her own and she caught a mouse. The two had been working great with each other, but Spottedpaw had to get back to his training. We went hunting with each other and found a kittypet with his collar stuck in a vine. Using my claws, I swiped the vine to free him. I asked him for his name and told be his name was Gust. We found it intresting. Spottedpaw and I caught two rabbits and three mice. We came back to WindClan and shared our finds with the Elders. WindClan is getting weak though. Two Warriors died last Friday, Livereye and Dishtail. ShadowClan was battling them. Nightpelt killed Dishtail and while Livereye was fighting Stumpytail, Cinderfur jumped on Livereye and tackled him. Livereye was thrown off to the ground and in one mighty swipe from Cinderfur, It went dark for Livereye. (I didn't see how Nightpelt defeated Dishtail)We also think ThunderClan is planning attacks against us. But not for long,
~HF

Icefur's turn

Tuesday, 
   Icefur got lucky too! Today, Tallstar found out that Sunpetal's kits were six moons old and were ready to become apprentices! Spottedpaw was already an apprentice before I started to mentor him. His "used to be" mentor died in a battle, and that was when he was captured.  Spottedpaw did not work with his mentor as much as I do with him now. I know he will be a great Warrior some day too! Anyway, Sparkkit, Rainkit, and Mousekit became Sparkpaw, Rainpaw and Mousepaw! Icefur was going to mentor Sparkpaw. The naming ceremony was like usual. The kits become "paws" to detriment they were apprentices. Right away, Spottedpaw and I conutied to train. "What a waste of time!" mewed Spottedpaw. I told to remember the time he was named and how special it was to him. Icefur tagged along with us, So she could see how Spottedpaw was doing.  She wanted to have me come with her while she showed Sparkpaw the routes. So, Tomorrow, Spottedpaw and I are going to help Icefur and Sparkpaw! Spottedpaw has improved so much with his fighting skills that he deserves a day off. Sparkpaw, Rainpaw, and Mousepaw will make great Warriors some day! Especially Sparkpaw. With Icefur's training, she'll become a great Warrior for WindClan. And we need it.

Spottedpaw saves the day!

Thursday,
Okay, Back to what happened last Monday. I made a big mistake when trying to fight with Fireheart. Fireheart acted quick. He pulled me off and clawed me to the ground. Fireheart bit into my fur and dragged me into ThunderClan. It was as if I was the one being "kidnapped". I tried to break out of his grip, but my paw hurt too much from being knocked off to the ground. ThunderClan took me in. But, Luckily, Someone was close by and saw everything. Spottedpaw must have been hunting around ThunderClan and saw everything that had happened. Spottedpaw dashed through the ThunderClan enterance. One of the ThunderClan cats must have saw him and tried to jump on top of him. But, Spottedpaw was too fast for him. He dashed away and quickly pushed away from the ThunderClan cats. He flipped over a big rock and ran towards me. Spottedpaw quickly gripped my fur and pulled me along the ThunderClan trail. We were followed by ThunderClan, but Spottedpaw kept running. He ran me into WindClan and went back to fight ThunderClan! At first, I thought he was crazy. But, He dashed back to ThunderClan and the cats followed him. Spottedpaw came back through a secret tunnel and confused ThunderClan. When Spottedpaw returned, I asked him how he did it. Spottedpaw said "Speed is key."

The Apprentice

Monday,
   If you did not know, The apprentice Icefur, Mudclaw, Onewhisker, and I, did not have a Warrior teaching him yet. But, Now, He is mine. After we had brought him back to WindClan, We had a gathering and shared licks with one another. Tallstar declared that I was going to be the apprentice's "trainer". The apprentice's name is Spottedpaw and he is a pretty good hunter. It was time to teach again. Spottedpaw, a black tabby with a white spot on his left eye, was excited, but was obviously not a good fighter. Thats what I had to work on with him. On Monday, We started training right away. I showed him some fighting skills and had him try to attack me. Then, I sent him hunting with Rainpaw, another WindClan apprentice. They caught three mice together. I taught Spottedpaw some hunting techniques. He went back and caught a big, juicy mouse by himself. I was impressed with how much he learned. On Tuesday, I focused on fighting with him. He attacked me, but I was too quick for him. I told him speed is key. You should be quick in everything. He tried to get at me again, but he didn't do such a good time there either. Then, He came at me a third time and bit my tail,hard. I told him he really surprised  me. The next day, We worked on fighting again. This time, He was improving. On Thursday, He went hunting for the clan. I went towards ThunderClan and met Fireheart as he was hunting. I could have used a good fight and pounced on him. I really shouldn't have done this. You'll see why, Later.

Sneaking In

Monday,
           We had to cross into ThunderClan, but how? We needed to save our apprentice, we knew he had to be in there. Why would Fireheart just attack us if we were just passing by ThunderClan? He probably knew what we were up to and thought we were coming to ThunderClan. Icefur suggested to go back to WindClan and get more Warriors. It was a good idea, but it  could be hard. I sniffed the air. Fireheart! He was coming towards us. Icefur and I ran back to WindClan. We told Tallstar that we thought our apprentice was caught in TunderClan. Icefur told him about the battle I had with Fireheart. I told him that we needed more Warriorsto help us attack. Tallstar sent in Onewhisker and Mudclaw to help us. We told them the plan f attacking ThunderClan and getting back our apprentice.
Sunday,
        It was time. Icefur, Onewhisker, Mudclaw and I started off to ThunderClan. Most of the cats were still sleeping. Good. We were going to go in and out, but of course have a fight in the middle of this. Icefur went in first. She spotted our apprentice, in an old, soggy net! ThunderClan must have found it by RiverClan. I stepped in and then Onewhisker and Mudclaw. Bluestar leaped on top of Icefur! Bluestar, the ThunderClan leader, must have saw us coming in and planned her attack on Icefur! Icefur clawed Bluestar off of her and bit her. Bluestar swiped Icefur, making Icefur's white fur splattered in blood. Icefur was incredibly week after her firece battle with Bluestar. I jumped on Bluestar when she didn't excepted it. I clawed her and bit her. She threw me off and ripped out my fur. She tore my ear, It was throbbing bad! Then, Mudclaw stepped in battle. More ThunderClan cats came in battle with us. I was wondering where Onewhisker was. Out of my corner of my eye, I saw him caring our apprentice to safety. We had done it. I carried Icefur on my back and ran out f ThunderClan and back to WindClan. It was a big day. I got Icefur to Barkface as quick as I could. Icefur was cleaned up, but still week. She said she was glad that we completed our mission. Now, I can get back to teaching.
