Cherrystar's Salvation

Heyo! FrostandWynter here! Hope you like it, but if I get anymore critism about how I'm not a professional writer, I'm removing all my stories, because I guess I'm not a writer if its not good in your opinion.

*The silver and white tabby gazed* down on her Clan. She glanced at the tom coming to sit by her.

"How are they handling this leaf-bare?" the tom asked.

"Not well. This season is harder than others," she replied. "What do you mean, Cinderdapple?" Cinderdapple's eyes glazed over. "Cinderdapple?" the tom meowed.

Cinderdapple turned to him. "Stonecloud, a storm is coming."

"*The frost lies in wait. The cherry tree will cause the tides to turn in her wake. Soon, all will fall, leaving just the snowy ground and cherry blossoms to save the Silver tree from the coming frost,"* Cinderdapple murmured.

"A prophecy." Stonecloud jumped at the sound, but Cinderdapple remained calm. "Yes. Who should we give it to, Cedarstar?"

"No one, just yet," Cedarstar replied. He glanced at the moon. "But we will find out soon enough."

*Cherrykit blinked open her eyes,* curious to see the world. She looked around and saw, judging by her scent, her mother.

"Hello, little one," Cherrykit's mother meowed.

"She's beautiful, Sorrelwhisker. She takes after her mother," another cat meowed. "But she has her father's eyes."

"Be sure not to tell him that, Dawnlily," Sorrelwhisker joked. "His head won't fit through the nursery."

"Who's head?" a tom meowed. "Yours, Ravenstripe," Sorrelwhisker replied. Ravenstripe's gaze drifted over to Cherrykit.

"You look beautiful, Cherrykit. I couldn't be prouder," Ravenstripe purred. "Do you want me to show you around camp?"

Cherrykit nodded. "Well, hop on!" Ravenstripe meowed, crouching down so that Cherrykit could ride on his back. She climbed on, and soon Ravenstripe had carried her out of the nursery. "Welcome to the SilverClan camp."

"Where to first?" Ravenstripe asked. Cherrykit looked around. She saw a few apprentices come out of a cave, chattering about something. "Over there, to that cave," Cherrykit squeaked.

"Alright then. I'm sure Daisycloud would love to see you."

+++++

"Hello, Ravenstripe. Is that your kit?" the brown furred she-cat meowed. Ravenstripe nodded.

"Got any stories left?" Ravenstripe meowed. He let Cherrykit slide off his back so she could sit in front of the elder. "I'm sure there's one that she would like," Daisycloud replied.

"How would you like to hear about Sootkit?" Daisycloud asked. Cherrykit nodded.

"A long time ago, the was a Clan called FaunaClan. Their leader was Laurelstar, a kind and just leader. One day, the ground started shaking. One of the kits, Sootkit, was playing in camp. A huge crack opened in the earth, and she was almost swallowed up.

"She was rescued, but her injuries were too great. She was taken by StarClan," Daisycloud meowed. "What happened to FaunaClan?" Cherrykit asked. "No one knows. They moved to a different area after the earth finished shaking."

"That must have been scary, the ground starting to shake!" Cherrykit exclaimed. Daisycloud nodded. Ravenstripe, who had been quiet through the story, licked Cherrykit's head. "That won't happen to us, though. We're perfectly safe here." He nodded to Daisycloud. "Thank you for telling her this. She probably would've gotten bored in the nursery after a while."

"Always a pleasure to have kits here," Daisycloud meowed. Cherrykit climbed back onto Ravenstripe's back. "Thanks for the story, Daisycloud!" she called over her shoulder.

"Where to now?" Ravenstripe asked. "Back to Sorrelwhisker. I'm getting hungry," Cherrykit replied, yawning. "Alright then, little one."

+++++

"Did you have fun, Cherrykit?" Sorrelwhisker asked. Cherrykit nodded in reply. "I learned about FaunaClan, and a kit named Sootkit."

"That must have been fun. But now, it's time for your nap," Sorrelwhisker reminded Cherrykit. When Cherrykit didn't reply, Sorrelwhisker looked down at Cherrykit, already asleep and curled up at her mother's belly.

Sorrelwhisker purred and fell asleep not long after.

*Cherrykit felt something brush against her.* She sighed and turned over to see what it was.She saw a white pelt, and a couple of legs twitching.

Cherrykit groaned and pushed Snowkit away. He was born a few days after her, so they would both become apprentices today. Cherrykit sat up and looked around, noting that everyone in the nursery was still asleep. She crept out of the nursery, spotting the ferns at the entrance of camp waving.

*The dawn patrol must have just left,* Cherrykit thought. She saw her father pacing outside of the warriors' den. "What's wrong?" Her mew startled Ravenstripe.

"Nothing, just can't sleep," he replied. Cherrykit looked at her father skeptically, but she let the matter drop

. "Do you want to take a quick trip outside of camp?" Ravenstripe meowed suddenly. "I thought kits weren't allowed outside of camp," Cherrykit meowed. "No, not if you're with a warrior." Ravenstripe meowed.

"And I'm the deputy, so you'll be safer with me." "In that case," Cherrykit mewed. "Why not?"

+++++

By the time Ravenstripe and Cherrykit had returned to camp, Sorrelwhisker was awake.

"Cherrykit, let's get you cleaned up. I want you to look your best," Sorrelwhisker meowed. She then proceeded to cover Cherrykit in licks.

Cherrykit looked over at Dawnlily's kits and saw them getting the same treatment. Soon, Dovestar could be seen climbing up the Highrock.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting!" Dovestar yowled. Sorrelwhisker looked over Cherrykit one last time and padded to the Highrock with her daughter and mate.

"Cats of SilverClan, we have a few ceremonies to complete. First, Cloverwing wishes to join Daisycloud in the elders' den," Dovestar meowed the the crowd.

"Cloverwing, is it your wish to give up the name of warrior and go join the elders?" Dovestar asked.

"It is," Cloverwing answered.

"Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest," Dovestar finished.

"Cloverwing! Cloverwing! Cloverwing! Cloverwing!" the Clan cheered.

"Now it is time to name new apprentices," Dovestar meowed once all the cats had finished cheering.

"Frostkit, step up." Dovestar began. "Frostkit, 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 shall be known as, Frostpaw. Your mentor shall be Leopardwing, and I hope that she will pass on all her knowledge to you."

Dovestar turned to Leopardwing."Leopardwing, you had received excellent training from Daisycloud, and you trained Sweetwater to be a wonderful warrior. You will mentor Frostpaw, and expect you to pass down your knowledge like you did for Sweetwater."

Dovestar beckoned Tidekit up. "Tidekit, 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 shall be known as Tidepaw. Your mentor shall be Thistlepelt.

"Thistlepelt, you were trained by Ravenstripe, and I expect you to pass on your knowledge to Tidepaw, as Ravenstripe did for you."

"Snowkit, 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 shall be known as Snowpaw. You shall be mentored by Ravenstripe, who I hope will pass on his knowledge as he did for Thistlepelt."

Dovestar turned to Cherrykit. "Cherrykit, 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 shall be known as Cherrypaw. I shall be your mentor," Dovestar finished.

"Frostpaw! Tidepaw! Snowpaw! Cherrypaw!" the Clan cheered.

*Yes! I'm finally an apprentice!*
