Yellowfang's Secret/Chapter 18

==Chapter description==
:Yellowfang sits in Sagewhisker's den as she waits for her battle wounds to heal. Sagewhisker enters the den and tells Yellowfang that Nettlespot doesn't have enough food or milk for her kits. She asks the gray warrior to help treat, and Yellowfang immediately looks in her storage for sorrel. Sagewhisker thanks her and tells her she is fit enough to watch Russetpaw and Boulder's warrior ceremony. Yellowfang looks at her in disbelief and thinks about how much time has passed since the fight with WindClan. Raggedpelt enters the den and asks when she can return to her warrior duties. Sagewhisker informs him that she can stretch her legs today before she leaves to treat Nettlespot. Raggedpelt invites Yellowfang to walk to a tree until Cedarstar calls for a Clan meeting. He announces Russetpaw and Boulder's warrior ceremony, and the two cats are given their warrior names Russetfur and Boulder. Yellowfang notices Raggedpelt's disdain for the new warriors, and they continue their walk to the big tree. Raggedpelt mentions staying sharp as a warrior in case they need to fight WindClan again, and he walks her back to the medicine cat den. Sagewhisker informs the two cats that she is heading to the Moonstone. Yellowfang wishes her well and remembers the ThunderClan medicine cat, Featherwhisker, inquiring about ShadowClan's well-being. The ShadowClan medicine cat tells Yellowfang she can return to the warrior's den tomorrow. 
:Poolcloud enters the den looking for Sagewhisker. Yellowfang wakes, and the gray-and-white she-cat tells her that Cloudkit is vomiting. The gray warrior immediately runs through Sagewhisker's storage to find willow for the kit. They head to the nursery and find Cloudkit sweating and vomiting inside his nest. Nettlespot grows defensive at the warrior, accusing her of not being a medicine cat. Poolcloud calms the queen, and Yellowfang feeds the kit the herb. She asks Poolcloud to grab water, and Cloudkit calms down. Nettlespot watches Yellowfang intently until the tiny white kit asks for milk. Yellowfang denies Cloudkit's request, and the queen agrees until Sagewhisker returns. Yellowfang returns to the medicine den and falls asleep.
:Poolcloud wakes the warrior and tells her about Cloudkit's progress. Yellowfang grows slightly annoyed as she revisits the young cat. Cloudkit continuously whines about his hunger and finds Sagewhisker coming in from behind her. Sagewhisker compliments Yellowfang's judgment in treating the white kit. The two turn away from the nursery, and Sagewhisker asks if she has thought about her destiny to become a medicine cat. Yellowfang distances herself from the medicine cat as Sagewhisker praises her potential. The gray warrior remembers her age and has yet to have an apprentice to teach. She worries about the condition of the Clan without their medicine cat and reluctantly agrees under Cedarstar's advice. Sagewhisker advises Yellowfang to tell Raggedpelt as she speaks to the leader. 
:Yellowfang finds Raggedpelt and Crowtail butting heads in the middle of camp. She interrupts the two cats and pulls the brown tabby tom aside. Raggedpelt asks if she is ready to return to her warrior duties, and Yellowfang informs him that she will be Sagewhisker's new medicine cat apprentice. Raggedpelt listens in disbelief and accuses her of being a coward after the fight with WindClan. Yellowfang tries to defend herself, but Raggedpelt wishes she chose him over the life of a medicine cat.
