Owlpaw ran through the forest, Jackalpaw was right behind her. She turned and saw a slightly larger tabby tom landing on her "Get off me!" She hissed playfully, Jackalpaw and Owlpaw rolled around until Jackalpaw was on Owlpaw. "Gotcha!" He licked her nose and purred, Owlpaw wiggled free "Stop. We could get caught!" She purred nudging the tom with her paw. Jackalpaw smiled "Dont worry, Tumblefur and Hawksight havent been looking for us." Harksight was Jackalpaws mentor and Tumblefur was Owlpaws mentor. Owlpaw shook her head "We should be training!" She backed away. "We just did! Owlpaw, If we become warriors soon we could be together!" Jackalpaw looked towards the camp "Come on. Lets hunt and get back, Its getting late." He shoved Owlwing and ran off, Owlwing shook her head purring and ran after him.

Owlpaw sat next to Jackalpaw, her tail quivered with excitement. It had been a moon since the short escape. Soon Owlpaw saw Ivystar jump onto a high branch, a bare branch attached to a oak in the middle of camp, and called out "Owlpaw, step forward!" Owlpaw obeyed "I, Ivystar, leader of Oakclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn."
"Owlpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Owlpaw, from this moment you will be known as Owltalon. StarClan honors your battle moves and keen senses, and we welcome you as a full warrior of OakClan."
Owltalon stood up tall and bowed her head, Tumblefur himself looked like he became leader. Jackalpaw looked the same, he let out a purr then looked at Ivystar.
"I, Ivystar, leader of Oakclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in her turn."
"Jackalpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Jackalpaw, from this moment you will be known as Jackalheart. StarClan honors your kind heart and clever moves, and we welcome you as a full warrior of OakClan." Jackalheart did the same, Hawksight seemed to look as if he saw a swarm of maggots. Owltalon and Jackalheart got dismissed and sat vigil.

It had been four moons since their ceremony, Owltalon and Jackleheart ran through the forest. Goose Chasing. Owltalon jumped, her talon like claws digging into the large bird. Jackleheart jumped over Owltalon pulling down the gooses head, Owltalon jumped off before being flattened as the goose rolled over, Jackleheart had killed it. "Finally! Thank Starclan!" He growled in joy. Owltalon purred and licked his ear "Now our clan can have a feast!" she grabbed the goose and so did Jackleheart. They dragged it into camp as the kits and apprentices filled them with questions, Jackleheart growled playfully and all the kits squeakily ran around. Soon Ivystar appeared from her den, her eyes widdend. She hissed and unsheathed her claws, Owltalon and Jackalheart put down the goose in confusion "Wha-" a huge claw swipped down and tossed Jackalheart into the oak, a badger. "No!" Owltalon ran over to Jackalheart as warriors attack the badger. "Owltalon..." he rasped "D-d-dont worry-y" He let out a ragged purr. "I cant help you! Where is Dewwhisker!" Owltalon yowled looking, she soon saw the small she cat racing towards them "Oh no!" Dewwhisker put her paw slightly on Jackalhearts stomach and he coughed up blood. The small she cat yanked her paw away "I cant save h-" Jackalheart fell still and the badger dead. Dewwhisker ran off as Owltalon sobbed in Jacklehearts fur. Thunder boomed over head and lightning struck the oak, Owltalon dragged Jackalheart away from the tree into the forest, but she had no choice but to leave him. She licked his earand whispered "I will always love you, an i will learn to save." She ran. The thoughts of death stung her and felt like talons clawing into her.

Owltalon changed her name to Owlwing. She walked silently for three moons, she was skinny and dirty. She was in agony, She had a dream to keep following the shadows so she did. Owlwing soon found a new scent and walked further into it, she ran into a couple of cats but she wasnt willing to fight. They took her in and she did what she needed to do, learned how to save a life.
