## Prologue

Mintlark crept out of the elder's den, he didn't want to be heard by Windkit, or anyone for that matter. He was still mourning the death of his mate, Cabukiclaw and his kits, Butterflypaw, Rainbowflower, and Sunshinefur, although it seemed like they died yesterday, it was many, many moons ago

## Chapter 1

"Blossomkit, Windkit, Stripekit, and Lemonkit" Teddystar began, "You have reached the age of 6 moons, so you will become apprentices right now!"

"YAYYYYYYYYYY!" all of the kits cheered.

"Leopardfang, I know you were just a queen, but I think you will be a great mentor to Blossomkit, no I mean Blossompaw!"

"Blossompaw! Blossompaw! Blossompaw!" everyone cheered.

"I will do my best!" Leopardfang said.

"Don't think I forgot about you three," Teddystar said with a smile, "Windkit, no I mean Windpaw, Plopnose and I have been watching over you. You have shown the signs of a medicine cat, you mentor will be Bullfrog"

"Windpaw! Windpaw! Windpaw!" everyone cheered.

"Stripekit, until you earn your warrior name, you shall be known as Stripepaw, your mentor will be Stumpytail." Teddystar said, "and last but not least, Lemonkit, no Lemonpaw, your mentor will be Blossomlight."

Quiltpaw stared at Windpaw in utter disgust and murmured, "Herb-eater" to Rollingpaw.

The tortie she-cat stared at Windpaw with her unusual yellow eyes and chuckled, "Yeah, Quiltpaw."

Windpaw stared at Quiltpaw and Rollingpaw, *How dare they?* "At least I was born in this clan!" Windpaw yelled to them, "and Rollingpaw, I hope your warrior name is Rollingdung!"

## Chapter 2

"Stripepaw, watch where you're going!" Quiltpatch growled. Quiltpatch and Rollingthunder were just made warrior a half-moon ago.

"Just because you got your warrior name doesn't mean you have to act like your special..." Stripepaw mewed.
