== Chapter one ==
WillowPaw’s tabby pelt weighed down BonePaw’s white pelt. They tackled and rolled around the cave, laughing excitedly. This was the life, living in the best clan, and having BonePaw as a friend. Everything was pretty much perfect. Except for when FoxStar ran away shortly after her warrior ceremony and founded MistClan.
MistClan has always been StoneClan’s biggest rival. They didn’t only kill warriors and apprentices... they killed helpless kits, elders, and queens. It was a bloodbath even running into one of their warriors.
Want to get shredded? Easy solution: go an mess with MistClan.
WillowPaw was thrown off BonePaw and skidded across the stone floor. “Haha! I think you won!” WillowPaw laughed.
BonePaw nodded and smiled, “Lets go and practice hunting,” She said, “It will help us get our joints prepared for the long journey too RockStar’s Meadow!”
WillowPaw was excited for the gathering, RockStar’s Meadow was where they where all gatherings were held. All the clans gathered and shared information, news, and even the best places to hunt!
This would be the second time WillowPaw went. 
They padded side-by-side out the cave entrance. Outside in StoneClan territory were rolling golden hills, with a barn where KittyPets were kept by two-legs. The hills were tall, and rocks jutted out of the side of a few of them. The territory ranged twenty-seven miles. 
“Let’s split up,” WillowPaw suggested, “The one to catch the least prey must swallow an ant!” BonePaw went up in giggles and rolled in the yellow grass.
“I obviously don’t want to swallow an ant!”
Without another word, the friends dashed in different directions. WillowPaw decided to take the route across the highest hills, she was seeking turkeys and snakes. BonePaw headed towards the more lush area. 
WillowPaw didn’t dare going onto Slippery road’s Monsters; a large cliff with barely any paw holds, and monsters dashed across the top, it was confirmed the most deadly area in all of the territories. Even today you can find the dead bodies of cats under the boulders. They send a patrol up there once a moon, last moon only two out of three returned. 
She sprinted up the hill, mice scrambled out of her way, and she sniffed the air. WillowPaw only smelled the warm scent of mice, which she most definitely was not taking the tiny little scraps only to swallow an ant. 
“Oh,” she whispered to herself, “I think I can smell a turkey on the other side...”
WillowPaw bounded to the other side of the hill, where a group of young male turkeys hiked around the yellow grass below, they were such easy prey.
She slipped down into a stalking position and stalked down the hill, keeping her ears and tail under the grass’s surface.
One of the turkey swung its head towards the grass and she ducked down. The turkey looked away like easy-prey and she leapt onto the largest one, she bit down onto its neck, and it fell over letting out loud shrieks.
WillowPaw picked up the turkey and silently thanked StarClan for its life and padded away, carrying to large turkey in her jaws. 
== Chapter two ==
WillowPaw licked BonePaw’s shoulder as the two friends huddled together on their rock, “BonePaw, wanna check out who killed the biggest prey?” 
“Oh sure!” BonePaw Exclaimed, “I caught something big.”
They padded to the fresh kill pile and picked out their prey. BonePaw’s eyes went wide when WillowPaw proudly pulled out the turkey. She laughed and stood higher displaying the turkey. She knew this turkey would feed the Elders and Kits well, she was proud.
A kill that large can bring you 10% closer to being a warrior. It would be very, very easy to be a warrior if she kept making large kills. “That’s...” BonePaw exclaimed, “GIANT!”
“In your favor I’ll find you an ant.”
BonePaw whined and nodded, “Fine...”
... 
WillowPaw was poking an ant hill, making ants crawl out everywhere. It was ridiculous to just be poking ants. But it would be worth it when she got to torment BonePaw. This would be so funny. 
She snagged the largest ant and stuffed it into her claws. She galloped through the hills, she’d only gone a mile from camp to avoid worrying the clan. Abruptly her paw got caught in a burrow. “Eek!” She shrieked, tugging at her paw, “Someone, please say a patrol is coming!” 
Nothing happened, she panicked as she tried to- something bit her paw, the shocks made WillowPaw flip out of the hole, panic rushing through her. WillowPaw’s paw bled ferociously, and a gopher popped its head back down. “Ow.” She murmured.
She got up and padded back to camp, pain rushing through her bones. WillowPaw’s paw was bleeding, she would go to the medicine cat first thing.
...
The cave entrance was covered by a bush, keeping them hidden. WillowPaw padded to the medicine cats den, where a blue-grey she-cat was sorting herbs busily.
“Hello WillowPaw,” WaterFang said, “Is it important? Or just more gossips?” The medicine cats blue gaze fixed on WillowPaw’s wound.
“Oh StarClan!” She exclaimed, rushing to WillowPaw’s bloody paw, “Let me help you, though I have to finish before the gathering tonight.”
WaterFang wrapped cobwebs around her paw, stopping the blood. The was relieving but WillowPaw was worried she wouldn’t be able to go to the gathering with an injured paw.
“Ok,” WaterFang started, “No more hunting for the next few days, though you can still come to the gathering.”
A rush of relief flooded WillowPaw, luckily she would still be able to listen to the other clans speak tonight.
== Chapter three ==
The cats gathered outside the cave, BrambleStar stood tall. The sun was setting and the cats were starting to move. The gathering would be held in the heart of all the territories. 
The cats walked and walked... WillowPaw’s paw hurt so much. It would take forever to get there, she was falling behind in the group.
WillowPaw caught up to BonePaw’s side, “Oh hey BoneP-“
“-Oh StarClan, is your paw OK?” BonePaw cut her off, “You can’t come to the gathering like this!”
She was fine, the medicine cat said she could go anyway. WillowPaw would not fall behind for nothing. This was her time in a gathering.
“I’m fine!” WillowPaw sped up ahead of BonePaw, rustling into the tall yellow grass. She scrambled towards the front of the group until she was beside BrambleStar, which she earned a glare not walking in order of Rank.
JuniperPaw raced up to WillowPaws side and nudged her with a smile, “Hello.”
WillowPaw smiled, “Hello.”
...
Cats from all clans were gathering, the cats mewed and paced around. Waiting for the gathering call. A small gang of apprentices gathered at the edge of the clearing, a tall oak stood for the leaders to stand on.
Cats chatted with each other, the gathering was by a waterfall, rocks, and yellow grass. WillowPaw padded to get misted in the waterfall and JuniperPaw followed. 
“Uh-oh,” JuniperPaw started, “It’s an omen..”
== 
 ==
== Chapter four ==
WillowPaw looked up startled by the StarClan cat who looked over them, she had bright blue eyes, she couldn’t tell the pelt color due to it being clear with a speckle of stars.
The StarClan cat backed into the mist, a smile plastered on her face, “Mist splashes at the end of the fall, shining and glowing brings darkness to the light. Bring back that darkening light or bring back that shining darkness...” 
“Wait!” WillowPaw yowled as the StarClan cat faded, “Come-“
She was embarrassed when she realized all the cats in the clearing heard her. WillowPaw knew she couldn’t tell all the cats about a prophecy.
Her fur stiffened as a light ginger she-cat backed her up against a rock with a hiss, “You had a prophecy?”
WillowPaw opened her mouth the protest when she realized the cat was of ShardClan. ShardClan warriors were neutral but will kill everyone their way. 
Her softened her glare and looked up at the ginger she.
“All I can say,” WillowPaw started, “Is I didn’t. I do not want to lie.”
The pale ginger she-cat soften her yellow gaze and hissed, as if she was a lie detector. FoxStar had not yet came. The cats stopped their nervous chattering as they realized FoxStar had not came yet.
WillowPaw’s tail twitched uncomfortably, she tensed as a twig broke. JuniperPaw scrambled to his feet to listen and SnowStar’s white pelt leapt off the great oak and she defensively stood in front of her warriors. 
An ocean of pelts flooded the clearing, large and bulky but in the lead was... FoxStar.
== Chapter five
 ==
Blood and fur splattered all over the rocks and trees. WillowPaw’s loyalty took over and she leapt onto a small apprentice, causing him to skid across the grass. The black tabby apprentice leapt onto WillowPaw
Blood stained their fur, her opponent propelled himself onto her, clawing her stomach. WillowPaw leaped up and bit her opponent’s neck. 
The black tabby hurled himself back onto her, this time harder. Finally the weight was lifted off by a larger cat.  ‘JuniperPaw!’
WillowPaw licked JuniperPaw’s shoulder to thank him for the deed and she rushed into the undergrowth.
She wanted to go out and help JuniperPaw, but she was too injured to go and help her friend. Her mentor, BreezeSpeck flicked his Siamese Pelt into the undergrowth and shouted, “WillowPaw, is that you!” 
WillowPaw hauled herself out and reassured him. The cats dashed back into the battle and clawed off many cats.
...
The Clans were beaten, medicine cats were going around tending to wounds. A small pile of dead cats lay beside a rock. MistClan had broken the sacred unity of the gathering.
A golden She-cat hauled herself onto the dead cats and declared, “We mourn the death of several cats, RainFlake, PearlFlame, BirdPaw, and AquaPelt. They fought well and I declare that there are now only 96 cats in the territories.”
Many of the cats dipped their heads in respect for the fallen Cats. WillowPaw knew that BirdPaw and AquaPelt were both honored warriors of StoneClan, and the senior warriors of all clans would sit vigil with the fallen cats.
PearlFlame would be set aside for participating in the killings. The senior warriors and elders gathered to sit vigil with the dead clan mates. 
...
The clans returned back to their camps and WillowPaw decided she needed to tell BrambleStar about the prophecy before they got back. She scrambled to BrambleStar side and opened her mouth to speak.
“Greetings, WillowPaw,” BrambleStar said, “What brings you here?”
“I need to speak to you.”
“Ok.”
WillowPaw stood high and began to speak, “I had a prophecy from StarClan, I think it was meant for you. Here it is: Mist splashes at the end of the fall, shining and glowing brings darkness to the light. Bring back that darkening light or bring back that shining darkness.”
BrambleStar shook his head and slowed his pace. He shook his head even harder and quickened his pace. WillowPaw looked at him wide eyes as he trembled and stopped. His pace was changing awkwardly, and his eyes were closed, WillowPaw wanted to see what was in his head.
== BrambleStar Chapter six ==
BrambleStar closed his eyes so he could clearly hear his former leader whispering to him- also his former mate. DawnStar was the former leader, her dark cream tabby pelt brushed against his, her sleek body dappled with stars. 
He remembered their warrior names, DawnWing and BramblePelt, the two perfect names. BrambleStar was still listening to StarClan’s mumbling. “It’s alright BramblePelt!” Laughed a small voice in his head.
Oh- SnowPelt, she’d died before BrambleStar became leader and- she must of not known. “That’s BrambleSTAR!” He laughed towards the Siamese She-Cat.
He was surrounded by four former friends of his, it was hard to recall and remember their deaths.
Physically, he was still walking beside his clan from the gathering, mentally he was in StarClan. SnowPelt still was missing the leg she had died from losing. 
He wanted to call to his former band of friends but he was physically so far away, but he felt so close
He heard WillowPaw’s call to him and he faded from StarClan, leaving his friends behind.
“Are you here?” WillowPaw’s Mew came to him again.
“Yes...”
== Chapter Seven, WillowPaw ==
“Are you here?” WillowPaw yelled to BrambleStar.
Finally his eyes opened and he looked at her. He looked swollen with grief, as if all his friends had died. 
“Yes...” 
It felt weird to look at such a brave leader so sad. She felt bad for him... you matter wether he was loyal or not.
...
They were back at camp and BonePaw was leaping from rock to rock. She sure was excitable, yet her sides were still blood-stained from the harsh battle.
WillowPaw hoped that BrambleStar’s sadness was just because of the battle.
Nothing would beat him, not even if he died fighting FoxStar. It’d be worth it to watch him kill FoxStar.
Most of the cats were curled up beside rocks that jutted from the ground, and others in their dens. Queens were telling their kits about the battle, and how they ran into the brambles with a senior warriors help.
BrambleStar was still curled up helplessly in his den, blood trickling down his sides from the battle. He really needed the medicine cat.
The den was carved out in a rock near the RockHigh. She wondered when he would come out. The camp was thriving with cats; BrambleStar was not. It was late at night anyway: she should get to her nest.
WillowPaw padded to the apprentice’s den which was a wide cave carved out of the wall, nests were everywhere, it could hold up to seven apprentices. 
BonePaw was still bouncing around outside, but WillowPaw needed sleep more than anything. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
...
WillowPaw woke up to StarClan cats surrounding her- hundreds of deceased cats, even- even... LIONS!
The clans had originated from LionClan, the clan of the lions.
A dark cream tabby walked and stood in front of her, with a wide smile, “I am DawnStar, a former friend of BrambleStar- or should I say BramblePelt!”
== Chapter eight, DawnStar ==
DawnStar smiled at the young apprentice, even though she didn’t know her name; The apprentice did know the prophecy. It was worthwhile to bring some dead cats to haunt her.
“Don’t be scared, you’re in StarClan.”
The apprentice scrambled away and a grey tabby Tom appeared in front of her, blocking the path out of StarClan. 
It was WolfHeart, a warrior of StarClan. 
The tabby sat next to the apprentice and whispered to her, and backed up, “This is WillowPaw, she will train with us tonight...
The apprentice faded away with a shock.
“Well thanks a lot,” DawnStar snapped, “Our Apprentice is gone!”
WolfHeart hissed and his fur went high. He was acting very angry for such a little situation, pfft. 
The grey tabby leaped to the closest star and hissed again, his fur on end. Even BerryWhisker acted better then WolfHeart.
A ginger tabby Tom cat walked over and looked at DawnStar with a laugh, “Take it easy on him!”
Oh- it was BerryWhisker...
== Chapter Nine: WillowPaw ==
WillowPaw felt a small tug on her tail and she woke up to the morning light coming through a small hole in the rocks. The weight of a white cat leapt onto her back and she got up.
“Very funny BonePaw,” mumbled WillowPaw, “I WAS JUST TRYING TO SLEEP!”
“But BreezeSpeck is taking both you and me training!” 
WillowPaw got excited and scrambled up to her feet, still remembering the dream with StarClan. BrambleStar was still curled up in his den, staring at his white paws.
The leader should be more loyal than lazy.
BreezeSpeck walked into the den with a frown on his face. “Sadly,” he said, “We are going to patrol in MistClan territory.”
WillowPaw was rushed with fear, and she leaped up to her paws and faked a smile. It’ll be FINE don’t be scared WillowPaw, you’re fine! 
“Ok,” WillowPaw said slowly, “OR WHAT THE HECK!”
“We will cross Slippery Road’s Monsters.”
== Chapter ten ==
The patrol walked through the tall grass, stalking silently towards Slippery Road. WillowPaw was panicked, had BrambleStar gone insane? Why in StarClan were they being sent out here?
Maybe it was BreezeSpeck’s idea. The Siamese Tom quickened his pace and ran up the first rock that led up the cliff. “Follow,” BreezeSpeck demanded, “Come on!”
BonePaw hesitated, then followed, leaping up. WillowPaw was the last to leap up, hauling herself onto it. BreezeSpeck hurled himself to a higher ledge jutting out of the cliff side. BonePaw made the next leap, followed by WillowPaw.
Soon they made it to a ledge that was likely hundreds of feet high. A monster raced across the top, causing pebbles to fall. 
WillowPaw was panicked and she leaped to the next ledge quickly, follow by BreezeSpeck and then BonePaw. 
BonePaw stumbled but made it. They were onto the street, and raced each other to the other side.
== Chapter Eleven: BonePaw ==
BonePaw’s paws tingled as she leapt out of the way of a monster. She was not down with this mission. BreezeSpeck led the way to the next cliff. BonePaw was sweating, and did not want to follow.
“Can we stop?” She whined, “I need a rest...”
BreezeSpeck looked at her with disappointment and settled down, followed by WillowPaw.
“Oh BonePaw,” WillowPaw laughed, “It’s fine, but we need to get away from here!”
How could WillowPaw be so joyful in a time like this? They were climbing endless cliffs! If it went higher, one of them would die...
...
They had reached the tip that seemed like a forest. If you looked off towards MistClan you could see the ocean. It was cloudy and freezing up at the top. 
They climbed down to the other road, WillowPaw was in the back and then- BreezeSpeck slipped and fell into the road below, a monster running him over.
“BreezeSpeck!” Yowled WillowPaw, jumping over BonePaw and into the clearing.
== Chapter Twelve: WillowPaw ==
WillowPaw scrambled to her mentor’s side, tears streaming in her eyes. Blood covered the area around BreezeSpeck. She licked his shoulder and let out another yowl as a monster raced past, and stopped next to the cats.
WillowPaw’s nostrils filled with the fowl scent of the monster, and she raced farther to the side, making sure she was still near BreezeSpeck.
WillowPaw realized her underbelly was wet from BreezeSpeck’s blood and her own tears. The Two-Legs slivered out of the Side of the monster and set a paw on BreezeSpeck.
The Two-leg flicked her hand off and yowled, “Naaaakid Quee, EEE neee hee!” (If you were wondering, it means: “I need a napkin, please, and hurry!)
The other Two-Leg rushed into the monster and came out with a fabric rag. WillowPaw ducked into the brambles as they came closer towards BreezeSpeck.
“WillowPaw! What do- do... here,” He murmured and flinched, as the Two-Legs approached the old cat, and lifted him up, “No! Let go of me! I am not KITTYPET!!!” The cat suddenly seemed like a young Kit yowling for his mother.
WillowPaw rushed into the Two-Leg’s foot. BonePaw leaped down onto the road, panic rushed through both of them.
The Two-Leg bent down and picked up the cats. “WillowPaw,” BonePaw cried, “I-I don’t think we can escape no more...”
== Chapter Eleven: RabbitRose ==
RabbitRose’s pinkish brown pelt brushed up against brambles. She was WillowPaw’s mother, and she was NOT letting WillowPaw get killed up in SlipperyRoad’s monsters today!
WillowPaw was only an apprentice, and if she died today... she’d never get to hear her warrior name. And who knows!: what if she got to be leader but died before she could even make it there.
RabbitRose was already on the top of cliffs, looking for her daughter. WillowPaw was so young, she could do something better in her life. DayCoat was not down with the idea of her leaving to the cliff.
DayCoat was her mate. They’d only had one kit! She would not let her only kit die. BrambleStar was utterly insane to send her away.
RabbitRose peered over the cliff to see a Two-Leg’s monster driving away. WillowPaw wasn’t down there, had she failed to protect her only kit?
== Chapter Twelve: BreezeSpeck ==
All BreezeSpeck could hear were the chattering of Two-Legs and two cats licking his back.
His eyes were so heavy, he couldn’t even open them. A Two-Leg was chattering nervously beside him. A ring ring came from the front seat and a muffled voice followed it.
The monster pulled over and the Two-Legs unfolded the side of the monster. BreezeSpeck wanted to yell “BonePaw, WillowPaw, leap out of the monster, it’s your only hope!” But he couldn’t. Another monster came near.
A Two-Leg hauled him out and gave him to another Two-Leg. He was set into the back of another monster and drove away.
...
Was BreezeSpeck dead? He couldn’t open his eyes. His body was patched up and he was lying in a soft pile of fur. 
“Apollo,” said a young Two-Leg voice, “Eee Apollo, eee Viii ceees ooo reee tiii!” If you were wondering it means “Eee! It’s you Apollo, I am Victoria your owner!”)
Apollo? Was that his name... right he was Kittypet... after being hit by a monster and blinded maybe he should be a Kittypet. Ohhh what was he thinking? That’s against the warrior code, it was written in the stone walls of the Warrior’s Den.
A warrior rejects the “Soft Life” of Kittypet. But BreezeSpeck was far from home now, he was wearing a collar with his name “Apollo” on it.
I am Apollo now, Apollo decided, I will live the life of a Kittypet. 
== Chapter Thirteen: BonePaw ==
BonePaw was nervous as she and WillowPaw ran down the road, avoiding bikes and monsters as they went. 
The Two-Legs had BreezeSpeck now, and they couldn’t save him. But he was so strong, surely nothing could go wrong.
“BonePaw,” WillowPaw asked, “Should we go down the cliff? Into MistClan’s territory. Two-Legs are probably following us.”
BonePaw nodded and faster then you could say “Mouse” they scrambled down the cliff side. Two-Leg rubbish lined the way down, barb-wire fences, thorn bushes, and even a Two-Leg’s graffiti led down the rocks.
The ocean was in front of them, and they were sliding to fast to stop. As soon as they reached the bottom, they crashed into the tall grass below.
BonePaw scrambled to her paws and lowered her ears, coughing. She sniffed the air- wait... she smelled MistClan cats patrolling the beach!
== Chapter fourteen: Apollo ==
Apollo was pacing around the Two-Leg nest, sniffing around to make a mental map of his new home. He was worried about his former apprentice, WillowPaw. 
Apollo had learned some Two-Leg language, like the words “Victoria” who was his owner. “Bed”, “House”, “Car”, “Toy”, and “Food”.
Two-Legs were fascinating creatures. Their houses were so cool! 
“Apollo! Apollo! Weetoo Outside!” Victoria called.
He did understand “Outside”.
Apollo padded out the flap that led outside, he flopped onto the porch. Even though he was blind, he could still do some things. 
Apollo leaped onto the fence and breathed in the territories scent. This was MistClan scent, his former enemy. But as a Kittypet, he would ignore his former worries.
Apollo climbed to the other side of the fence, where the ocean breeze filled his nostrils. He had a guess that was the beach.
And then- he smelled WillowPaw’s scent.
== Chapter fifteen: WillowPaw ==
BonePaw and WillowPaw were going towards the a Two-Leg nest. Wait, WillowPaw smelled something; it was BreezeSpeck’s scent overlapped with Kittypet? Oh, that reminded her; he was taken away by Two-Legs.
The Two-Leg nest was on the beach’s side. Behind it was the grass plains. They needed to hurry, the MistClan patrol was getting closer.
“Hey BonePaw,” WillowPaw said, “We need to take shelter in the Two-Leg’s yard.”
“Yeah! Like I WILL NOT GET MAULED TOOODAY!” She was a bit to loud for WillowPaw’s comfort.
Their pace quickened into a run, and they leaped onto the fence, crashing into a blind Siamese Tom.
“OOOOF!” Cried the Tom, “Huh?? WillowPaw!”
It was BreezeSpeck as a Kittypet... they’d fallen into a patch of soil, where they shook mud off their pelts. BonePaw was just as excited.
BreezeSpeck was blind and chubby, unlike his old self. 
“I am Apollo now,” He explained, “It’s a name my owner gave me.”
WillowPaw grimaced, how could such a noble senior warrior break the noble code? He broke it for a soft and peaceful life, instead of standing up for his clan.
“You,” BonePaw started, “Broke one of the most important rules of the warrior code...”
Apollo Frowned.
“Well ‘Apollo’, we are leaving!” Growled WillowPaw.
“THEN GO! If you won’t except me, then run away kit!”
With a hiss WillowPaw ran off into the ferns, followed by BonePaw. They were both too enraged to speak, the sun was setting beyond the horizon and StarClan would show its self to judge Apollo’s choice.
Apollo would be forced into the Dark Forest after death, where he can suffer starvation and tears.
== Chapter Sixteen: DawnStar ==
DawnStar was asleep, StarClan cats only awoke at nighttime, so that they woke up the at the same time as stars and moon did. That’s why names like “MoonShine” or “StarTail” we’re not allowed.
Star and Moon were sacred to StarClan, and moon must only be used as a suffix. Star-Cats were unable to do anything until morning came. A deputy must be chosen at night so they can approve.
In StarClan lived the good cats, like FireStar, ThornClaw, BrightHeart, and SwiftPaw. All those cats were from a long time ago. 
The sun was setting and DawnStar opened her eyes. The Stars that dappled her pelt began to shine again. The other cats had woken up, and a patrol of StarClan cats would go down to make sure cats are following the code, and punish ones who are not.
“StarClan,” DawnStar yowled to her clan, she wasn’t the StarClan leader; she was only a citizen, “Wake up, we shall send punishments and rewards to the cats!”
Punishments would be giving cats rotten prey or maybe even sending a fox. Rewards would be making prey run well or guiding dangers away. Those are just examples, many other possibilities work. They are called “Omens”.
“CrystalDust, AdderBird, and me shall patrol.”
CrystalDust was a white she-cat with grey splotches, and AdderBird was a red (not ginger) tabby.
DawnStar was a dark cream tabby.
The group glided down and DawnStar remembered she wanted to follow WillowPaw. “Patrol,” DawnStar asked, “Can we go ahead and follow BonePaw and WillowPaw?“
StarClan knew all the Warrior Cats by name. They smelled their way to the Two-Leg nest, where a Blind Siamese Tomcat lay on the fence hissing in rage towards WillowPaw and BonePaw.
It was BreezeSpeck who abandoned his Clan! “We will send a bad omen to him!” DawnStar Hissed.
“Why?” CrystalDust asked, “He’s just a fat Kittypet!”
“That is BreezeSpeck, can you even use your StarClan powers?”
“I can.”
DawnStar hissed again and slipped into the Two-Leg Nest, leaving a maggot in the water dish.
“Good.”
== Chapter Seventeen: BonePaw ==
It was nighttime
BonePaw had an idea. What if they explored the unexplored? What if they saved the clans by finding a new territory?!
They were hiking through the brambles, nettles tugging on her pelt.
“WillowPaw,” BonePaw mewed excitably, wanting to share her ideas. “I want to explore the unexplored!”
WillowPaw looked at her as she shook a clump of firs off her pelt, “We need to go back to camp.”
BonePaw grumbled and nodded, hissing in her throat. She did not want to go back to camp. Even if they’d become warriors.
A twig snapped behind BonePaw and she spun around, her fur on end. The sound of claws unsheathing sounded behind her. She nudged WillowPaw, and they both turned towards the noise.
The noise stopped. A light brown tabby Tom, followed by a green-brown she-cat walked out of a bushes. StarClan help us... 
The she-cat pinned down BonePaw and bit into her leg. BonePaw threw up her legs and kicked the enemies stomach, escaping from the grasp. She bolted into the brown tabby, causing him to tumble into the nearest tree.
The two apprentices made a run for it, hoping their panting wouldn’t invite trouble.
== Chapter Eighteen: WillowPaw ==
The forest was dense and foggy, brambles, firs, and nettles were clumped in WillowPaw’s thick pelt. She tumbled to the ground into the mud, rain was starting to pour and she needed a break. 
BonePaw fell over next to her and began to pant. Mud covered their pelts and they fell asleep in the mud, still in MistClan territory.
...
The morning light shone through the thick canopy of leaves, a droplet falling on WillowPaw’s nose.
She opened her eyes and nudged BonePaw awake. They needed to return, the morning patrols would be coming out. “BonePaw, we got to go!” 
BonePaw rolled out of the mud and followed WillowPaw back to the cliff. The climb would be stressful, but worth it. 
They tugged through the thorn bushes tirelessly, WillowPaw’s wrists were bleeding from the thorns caught in them. She wanted to stop to hunt a bit, but that was against the Warrior Code to hunt in another clan’s territory.
It was summer, the days were long and hot. They panted up the cliff, tripping over rocks and Two-Leg rubbish. They pulled themselves onto the road. 
“I’m not sure...” BonePaw panted, “I can’t- Go any higher...”
WillowPaw felt the same way, but BonePaw’s pelt was thin, therefore why was this so... nerve racking?
“We need to cross the road, then you can rest. Remember how to Two-Legs pulled over to take us?”
BonePaw nodded and reached for the road, padding quickly across it. WillowPaw ran across and dodged monsters, leaping to her friend’s side. 
She let her friend sleep for a little while at the other side of the road; where monsters nor Two-Legs didn’t go. 
BonePaw lay down on rock and began to snore, and WillowPaw climbed up a tree to sleep upon the branches. 
***
WillowPaw woke up to see BonePaw pacing quickly. Flicking her tail impatiently. “Hurry up,” BonePaw snapped, “We got to keep going!”
WillowPaw nodded and leaped off the tree, yawning loudly. “What do you think MistClan would do if some StoneClan apprentices were sleeping on their side of their cliff?”
BonePaw was right... they needed to keep going. WillowPaw gave herself a head start onto the cliff and began making her way up. When the two reached the top, she fake-yawned dramatically. 
BonePaw giggled and began climbing back down and- RabbitRose, WillowPaw’s mother was calling to them!
== Chapter Nineteen: RabbitRose ==
“Jump down! I will catch you!” Yowled RabbitRose, “I promise.”
She knew she’d catch her daughter, if only she’d just jump! WillowPaw let go off the rock and tumbled down, crashing into rocks. RabbitRose panicked, she wasn’t ready for this!!!
“Mom!” WillowPaw yelped, “HELP ME!”
RabbitRose grabbed her daughter before she hit the ground. Her daughter was knocked out, blood spilling from her sides. BonePaw had climbed down, and licked WillowPaw’s back.
RabbitRose had to blame herself. She picked up her daughter and carried her down through the tall grass, followed by BonePaw.
== Chapter Twenty: WillowPaw *a moon later* ==
WillowPaw opened her eyes to find herself rapped in cobwebs while she lay in the medicine cat’s den. Blood splattered her sides, but she was healed.
WaterFang was sitting by WillowPaw’s side. 
“Can I go now...?” WillowPaw asked.
“Yes! It’s you and BonePaw’s warrior ceremony!” WillowPaw swelled with pride and she ran out of the Medicine Cat’s den without asking. The cats were gathering by the RockHigh.
BonePaw was sitting in the front, and WillowPaw joined her.
BrambleStar stood high on the rock and announced:
“These two have returned from Slippery Road’s Monsters alive a moon ago, and I, BrambleStar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend you to as a warrior in their turn.”
WillowPaw smiled and so did BonePaw as he went on:
“WillowPaw, BonePaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?
They smiled and said their promise, “I do.”
“Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on you will be known as WillowTail, and BoneFlight! StarClan honors your well-natured pride and we welcome you as a full warrior of StoneClan!”
The clan went up in cheers, “WillowTail, BoneFlight, WillowTail, BoneFlight!”
“And I shall appoint new apprentices. TallPool has decided her kits are ready, WaterKit, LittleKit, SnowFlakeKit, and BadgerKit!”
WaterKit was a Blue-Grey she-kit, LittleKit was a dark blue-grey she-kit, SnowFlake Kit was an albino she-kit, BadgerKit look just like he was a mini badger!
WillowTail was overwhelmed with the idea of being a warrior, and all her new responsibilities. She wondered if she’d mentor an apprentice...
“WaterKit, LittleKit, SnowFlakeKit, and BadgerKit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as WaterPaw, LittlePaw, SnowflakePaw, and BadgerPaw. WaterPaw’s mentor shall be WaterFang, LittlePaw’s mentor shall be YellowGaze, SnowflakePaw’s mentor shall be ShadowSight, and BadgerPaw’s mentor shall be... WillowTail!”
WillowTail was shocked, she wasn’t only a warrior! She was a mentor too! BoneFlight would be very jealous, even though it’s hard work. WillowTail tried to settle down, until- the cave rumbled.
== Chapter Twenty-One: BoneFlight ==
BoneFlight let out a yowl and ran towards the exit, panic rushing through all her bones. 
A rock fell, nearly hit BoneFlight as she tumbled out of the way. “WillowTail!”
The clan was running, and ear-shattering shriek sounded behind her before she could even leave- MistClan was here too, killing the cats who escaped. Now BoneFlight had to chose her fate; Crushed by rocks or by FoxStar. 
There wasn’t much time, so BoneFlight leaped out of the cave. MistClan was killing countless cats. She dodged her attackers instead of fighting. BrambleStar leaped onto a light brown tabby.
It was very gory, a few of DandelionThorn’s kits were stuck inside, under the rocks. The survivors were being killed. BoneFlight began to run, as she glanced around, WillowTail was following.
“Where is BadgerPaw?” WillowTail yowled, “I need him! He’s my only apprentice and he will die!”
“What matters now is our lives!”
“No! I am going back!”
“Wait!”
All of BoneFlight’s senses told her to turn around to follow her friend. But she needed to keep going if at least one would survive.
Leaving the clan in chaos, BoneFlight slipped away. 
== Chapter Twenty-Two: WillowTail ==
WillowTail and BadgerPaw rushed into the tall grass, followed by WaterPaw, LittlePaw, and SnowflakePaw. WillowTail was panicked, she needed to find BoneFlight. 
The battle was rearing up now, WillowTail was evacuating the younger cats. The apprentices had no battle training at all. Unless you could call softly play-fighting in the nursery with super-vision “training”. 
WaterPaw was at the back, struggling to keep up. WillowTail flicked her tail to make sure the others ran ahead and she ran to help WaterPaw keep up, “Hurry, we don’t have much time! We’re being chased!”
***
After running for hours, they found themselves in ShardClan territory, rushing off towards the ocean. Cats couldn’t swim very well but they needed an escape. Maybe fighting the tides until they reached a rock would be worth it... 
Someone was breathing on her neck, and the apprentices were to short to do it. WillowTail spun around, expecting to see a large MistClan Warrior, but instead it was- BoneFlight! 
WillowTail purred nervously flicking her tail to the ocean, making an order to swim. BadgerPaw was the first to start into the waves, clearly he was OK with the cold shock. WaterPaw and LittlePaw were next, and then SnowflakePaw slowly approached the water, before she galloped into it.
BoneFlight nudged WillowTail, “Come on, it’s all right, we’ll go in together and swim- or wash up somewhere.”
“Oh BoneFlight, I am not sure if the Ocean leads anywhere except StarClan...”
“It does: Imagine the new clans, animals, and plants at the other side, I wonder if LionClan is still alive at the other side!”
WillowTail smiled but admitted, “I will get the clan first.“
“Then I will wait.”
== Chapter Twenty-three: BoneFlight ==
Only half the clan had survived, Queens were carrying their kits as they lapped at the cold water, and BrambleStar was dead. They would be riding logs, and they’d be free from this tragedy.
The clan climbed onto the log. The logs began to float and BoneFlight leaped up to join WillowTail. The clan would be torn into three parts.
BoneFlights group was: TallPool, BoneFlight, WillowTail, JuniperPaw, and the new apprentices.
They’d be free from horror, in a new world
