Thunderclans peril. A warrior cats fan fic.

Chapter nine.

"Stonepaw! Stonepaw! Stonepaw!" Stonepaw was nearly bursting with pride as he touched noses with his mentor, Hollyfur. She smiled at him.
"What do you want to do first?" she asked, "Go hunting, training, see the territory, find moss for Willowfur?" she asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"See the territory!" Stonepaw said promptly.
"Okay, try to keep up," Hollyfur said, shooting out of the camp. Stonepaw, taken by surprise, was a few seconds behind her. She slowed as they neared the lake.
"Wow! It's so big!" he said, looking over the water.
"On the other side is Windclan territory, to the right is Riveclan, and to the left is Thunderclan. Which way do you wan to go first?" Hollyfur asked.
Stonepaw frowned.
"Riverclan," he said, bounding to the right.
"Okay!" Hollyfur raced along at a slower pace then before, but Stonepaw still had trouble keeping up. They arrived at the border, and Stonepaw wrinkled up his nose.
"Ick, what's that smell?" he asked.
"Us." Looking up in alarm, Stonepaw saw three cats, two warriors and an apprentice that looked barely bigger then himself.
"Hey, Mousetail! And Ashnose!" Hollyfur cried, "And who's the apprentice, I thought you got an apprentice five moons ago, Ashnose, he can't be yours!"
Stonepaw saw the young tom bristle.
"Actually, he is," Ashnose said. "Streampaw. He's a little smaller then I would have hoped. But he's a good fisher. That's about the only this he's good at," he added under his breath. Stonepaw saw Streampaw dig his claws into the ground. He was obviously trying to keep in his anger.
"I can swim to!" he said.
"Yeah, we saw that when you fell in the lake after the two-leg got you." Streampaw bristled at Ashnose's words.
"We need to go now," Mousetail said, "See you, Hollyfur." The Riverclan patrol left.
"Well, what do you think of them?" Hollyfur asked when they had gone.
"Streampaw and Mousetail seem nice, but I don't like Ashnose much," Stonepaw admitted. Hollfur nodded.
"Yeah, he and his brother, Flametail, are a little mean. Come on." She led him away from the Riverclan border.

Quick recap.

I apologise, I made Hollyfur Stonepaw's mentor, but I forgot she moved into the nursery. So sorry about that, Stonepaw's mentor is Ashtail.

This post is just going to say what happened in the last five moons since the fox came. Right!

Thunderclan.
About a moon after, there was an outbreak of green-cough, and Otterfoot and Lightkit died, Shadekit and Birchkit's father and sister, as well as the elder Firetail. Shadekit was made Stormfall's apprentice, and Birchkit, Littlefoot's just he day before. Amberkit and Embekit aren't apprentices yet, but soon will be.

Riverclan.
Streampaw is still struggling to keep up with the bigger and stronger cats (or should I say lamps) in his clan. He is getting better at hunting and fishing, but will never be an expert.

Shadowclan.
You know most, Stonekit was made apprentice to Ashtail. In the moon since then, he has progressed quickly, but Lakepaw refuses to make friends with him. Only Ashtail really pays attention to him, and that is only becouse he is his mentor. Hollyfur had her kits, and now Applekit, Fogkit and Dustkit are born.

Windclan.
Icekit and Snakekit grew fast, and are now five moons old, nearly apprentices. Windheart, the deputy has died when she fell into the lake, and now Thrushcall is deputy, much to the kits delight. Yelloweye has moved into the nursery and is expecting Bumbeltail's kits.

Right, if you see any inconsistencies, please tell me! Sorry about Hollyfur. XD.

Chapter ten.

Emberkit stared moodily out of the nursay entrance. He shivered a little, Leaf-fall was coming on, and his thin fur didn't grow thick easily. The nursary was quiet after Birchkit and Shadekit had leaf. Amberkit was off begging Shadepaw and Nettlepaw to teach her some battle moves, but he just wanted to curl up to something warm and sleep.
"Why don't you go out and play with Amberkit?" asked Snowleaf.
"It's too cold, and I don't feel like it," he replied. Snowleaf sat beside him.
"You know it will get colder then this. Don't worry, your fur will thicken." She wrapped her tail around him.
"No it won't! My fur never gets thicker!" Emberkit cried, stalking into the nursary. Snowleaf shook her head and followed him.

"Then by the power of Starclan, I name you; Emberpaw!" Ivystar cried. Emberpaw walked to Darkmoon and they touched noses. He grinned at Amberpaw beside Rainfur, her mentor.
"Right, find and nest in the apprentice den, we'll start training tomorrow," Darkmoon instructed, and Emberpaw bounded towards his new den. Shadepaw and Amberpaw joined him.
They soon found the apprentice den, and began making their nests. Emberpaw made a nest near the middle, so the cold wind wouldn't bother him. He lay in the nest, enjoying the warmth, but missing Snowleaf. He was aware of Shadepaw and Amberpaw talking, but didn't notice. He soon drifted off the sleep.

"Emberpaw! Wake up, we're doing a border patrol!" Emberpaw forced his eyes open, and saw Amberpaw standing over him.
"Right." He shivered as he stood, and when he looked out, he saw the camp was coated with a layer of snow.
"Cool!" Amberpaw cried, bounding into it, her thick fur keeping out the cold. Emberpaw followed a little slower, shivering as the snow sunk into his fur.
"How am I going to be a good warrior if a little snow stops me?" he muttered, trying to keep up with Amberpaw, Rainfur, Darkmoon and Cherrtail.

Chapter eleven

Icekit walked out of the apprentice, beside Snakekit. Fangheart gave them a lick, sadness and pride in her eyes. Thornstar smiled at them.
"Snakekit and Icekit are now six moons old," he began. "Thistleheart, you have had a good mentor in Thrushcall, and will now pass on the knowledge to Snakekit." Thistleheart bowed her head. "Then, Snakekit, from this moment on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Snakepaw!" Then he turned to Bumbletail. "Bumbletail, you have had good mentor in Windheart, and the time has come to pass the knowledge on. Icekit from this moment on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Icepaw!"
"Icepaw! Snakepaw! Icepaw! Snakepaw!" the clan cried.
"Mousepaw," Icepaw said whispered. Even though her brother teased her, she missed him.
"Right, Icepaw, since you already know the territory, you can get accustomed to helping the elders with their tick," Bumbeltail instructed.
"But that was moons ago!" Icepaw protested.
"Icepaw, don't talk back!" Bumbeltail snapped. Under his breath he muttered, "you won't do any good out of the camp, anyway."
Icepaw's face burned as she padded to Stumpfoot's den for mouse-bile.
"Why do they remember me from something moons ago? And something I didn't even want to do. It's because I'm weak and clumsy!" she thought. As she did, she cast an envious glance at Snakepaw as he followed Thistleheart out of the camp. "Lucky fur-ball." As she thought, she didn't notice a rock. She hit her paw on it, stumbling and falling into the mouse-bile. Tears formed in her eyes as Acornheart let out a bark of laughter.
Why me!?

Added more cats, feel free to suggest names and cats.

I have a few to suggest - Sparrowcall, a gray-and-cream Queen, and her brother, Finchheart, a shaggy ginger Tom.

[Woogwoo Wren]

Ok, thanks, ill add them to Windclan.

[C a s]

Cool, I can't wait to see who you pick as her mate.

[Woogwoo Wren]

I'm thinking Sandleap, he's the only open tom in Windclan exsept from her brother and Thornstar. XD

Interlude

The fox sat in the clearing, waiting. Soon, a black shape came through the trees. Midnight jumped down infrount of the fox.
"So you came," Midnight said.
"I wondered if you would. Are you ready? I have traveled far for this," The fox replied. Midnight scowled.
"We are always ready," he said. "We're are your foxes?" The fox smiled, flicking his tail. A pack of foxes walked out of the bushes, twenty at the least, thirty at the most.
"Here they are, where are your cats?" the fox asked.
"In the two-leg place, we will meet here tomorrow. Be ready." Midnight jumped into the tree, and ran back to the two-leg place.

Chapter twelve.

Amberpaw saw Emberpaw slipping out of the camp, alone. Frowning, she slipped after him. She couldn't see him, but he left obvious foot prints in the snow. Following them, she was a little supprised to see him going towards the two-legplace.
Hes just going hunting. she told herself. But near the twolegpalce? she frowned, and suddenly stopped. She had come to the twolegplace, and there was Emberpaw, talking to a black kittypet.
"So, I can come tomorrow?" Emberpaw asked. The black cat nodded.
"Sure, my two-legs will be glad to have you!" he said, smiling. Amberpaw gasped, Emberpaw wanted to become a kittypet!
Emberpaw heard her, and turned.
"Amberpaw?" he called, walking towards her. She walked out of the bush she was hiding in.
"Explain!" she snapped. "Why are you talking to a kittypet, and why did he say his two-legs would be glad to have you?" she asked.
"Amberpaw, I'm going to live with him," Emberpaw began.
"What! 'A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet!' You're breaking the warrior code!" Amberpaw cried. Emberpaw sighed.
"I can't be a warrior, my fur is to short, and I'm just not suted for the harsh life of a warrior. I'm sorry Amberpaw," he said, looking down.
"What will Snowleaf say? She's already lost Rockclaw," Amberpaw argued, but deep down she knew he'd made up his mind.
"I have to Amberpaw! I'll die if I dont, or I'll stay in the dens at the first snow falls! I nearly froze training yesterday, luckily Midnight here found me and brought me into his den. The two-legs keep warm dens."
Amberpaw sighed.
"I'll miss you," she whispered. Emberpaw nodded.
"And I you." He jumped onto the fence. "I'll think I'll come now, Amberpaw can explain," he said to Midnight. The young black cat nodded.
"Maybe you can join us one day, Amberpaw?" he suggested. Amberpaw shook her head
"No. I'm a warrior." Then she turned, and ran back to the camp, not looking back so they wouldn't see the tears in her eyes.
Midnight watched her go.
This is the beginning. Though it's a shame Amberpaw will have to die with the rest of Thunderclan. She's a pretty thing. he thought, turning to follow Emberpaw inside.
