### **CHAPTER 1**

Daykit sprinted through the moor and leaped for the rabbit. “Daykit! Wake up! It’s the apprentice ceremony today!” Peakkit mewed, shaking Daykit awake. “Hey! I’m awake! Okay! I’m up!” Daykit meowed at her sister. “Fine!” Peakkit subsided, muttering. “Good morning, my dears. Oh, hello, Foxtail.” Shimmerpool said, nodding to the ginger she cat padding into the nursery.

“Bigstar said your ceremony is starting.” Foxtail’s mew was taut. “Yes, Foxtail!” Daykit and Peakkit chorused. *The only reason she came to get us is because she needs an apprentice to become deputy when Bigstar dies!* Daykit thought bitterly. “Daykit…? You coming?” Peakkit mewed, padding out of the nursery. “Mhm,” Daykit murmured, running after her.

“Peakkit, 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 Peakpaw. Your mentor will be Foxtail. I hope Foxtail will pass down all she knows on to you.” Bigstar meowed, “Daykit, 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 Daypaw. Your mentor will be Aspenfall. I hope Aspenfall will pass down all he knows on to you.”

Daypaw grinned at Peakpaw. They were apprentices at last! “Peakpaw, we will start training now.” Foxtail had approached and was leading Peakpaw away towards the camp entrance. “Daypaw, you too.” Aspenfall said, although he had a note of fondness in his tone. “Okay.” Daypaw mewed. “Actually, I want to see how much you already know. You’re going hunting, but I will watch.” Aspenfall explained.

“Okay.” Daypaw mewed quietly. “You can take an older apprentice with you, if you want.” Aspenfall told her. “Yes, okay. I’ll go ask if any of them want to come.” Daypaw said, bounding off.

“I have the morning free, Daypaw. I’ll come.” Flickerpaw said. “Thank you. I don’t want to get lost.” Daypaw gratefully told the older apprentice. “All right, then. Should we go?” Flickerpaw asked. “Yes, okay, sure.” Daypaw decided.

Outside of camp, Flickerpaw chatted with Daypaw. “I think I love Frostpaw, but I don’t know if she feels the same. She’s awfully friendly with that ThunderClan tom, Ripplepaw.” Flickerpaw fretted. “She can’t have a mate from another clan!” Daypaw mewed, bewildered. “Yes, of course. But then, many cats have broken the warrior code that way.” Flickerpaw unsheathed and sheathed his claws.

“I do need to hunt…” Daypaw reminded him. “Oh- yes, of course, go ahead.” Flickerpaw remembered.

Daypaw tasted the air. Mouse, but stale. Rabbit! She followed the scent dropping into the hunter’s crouch once she saw the little creature. “Looks fat.” She muttered. Daypaw leaped, catching the fuzzy tail, dragging it up, and delivering the killing bite. “Very good, Daypaw.” Aspenfall suddenly appeared next to Daypaw.

“Woah! Hey, Aspenfall. Did you see Flickerpaw?” Daypaw asked. “Yes, I sent him back to camp.” “Oh. I caught a rabbit!” Daypaw mewed. “I see that.” Aspenfall meowed, his tail curling in amusement. “It’s a fat rabbit,” she informed him. “I can also see that.” Aspenfall chuckled. “Okay, okay! Enough laughing at me!” Daypaw growled, then playfully leaped on him, pinning him down and meowing, “Rogue! What are you doing on my territory!” “Oh, this is your territory?” Aspenfall asked dubiously. “Yes, and if you want it you have to FIGHT me!” Daypaw yowled.

“All right, no more messing around. You’ll see all of WindClan territory tomorrow, so we should try to get some rest.” Aspenfall mewed, standing up and walking off. “Okay!” Daypaw mewed, catching up with him.

In her nest, Daypaw slept peacefully, until moonhigh. “Uhhhh,” she mumbled, rolling over and opening her eyes. “Can’t sleep?” Peakpaw asked. “Yeah.” Daypaw muttered. “Wanna go get some fresh-kill?” Peakpaw asked. “Sure,” Daypaw replied.

Outside, a flash of a brown tail next to the fresh-kill pile made Peakpaw stop. “What is it?” Daypaw whispered. “Smell that?” Peakpaw murmured. “Rogue!” Daypaw realized, and she pounced on the brown cat and pinned her to the ground. “Ahh! Stop! Get off!” The she cat yowled. “Shut up!” Peakpaw meowed, slapping her tail across the rogue’s mouth. “Hey!” the rogue’s reply was muffled. “Be quiet.” Peakpaw hissed.

”Okay! Okay! I’m Jade. Who are you?” “You think we’ll tell you? Rogue!” Daypaw growled. “I’m Jade. My name is NOT rogue.” “I’m Peakpaw, and that’s Daypaw.” “Why’d you tell her that!” Daypaw hissed. “Because she’ll be dead soon.” Peakpaw replied simply. Right. Daypaw dug her claws into Jade’s throat. “Ow! That hurts!” Jade whined. “Say your good-byes, rogue.” Peakpaw growled. “Stop! I’ll go! Leave me alone!” Jade hissed, kicking Daypaw off her and across the clearing.

“Daypaw! No! You filthy rogue!” Peakpaw yowled. Jade flattened her ears and hissed before running away off the moor. “Ugh! I’ll get her later!” Daypaw mewed, leaning into Peakpaw. “Daypaw, you’re all right!” Peakpaw mewed. “Of course I am. She was just a… rogue,” Daypaw wheezed. “Let’s get to our nests.” Peakpaw meowed, worried.

“Okay, great plan.”

### **CHAPTER 2**

Blazeheart glanced at her apprentice. Sagepaw seemed tired. “Why don’t we skip training today?” Blazeheart asked. “No… I’m fine!” Sagepaw snapped. Blazeheart flinched as though Sagepaw had raked her with her claws. “I’m sorry, Blazeheart,” Sagepaw drew back, “you’re right. I am tired. I should rest.” “Good StarClan, finally.” Blazeheart muttered.

As Sagepaw trotted off, Sheerrunner came to join Blazeheart. “Hi, Sheerrunner.” Blazeheart murmured. “Hey,” Sheerrunner dipped his head. “Why are you doing that? I’m not deputy, or leader!” Blazeheart mewed hotly. “You will be soon.” Sheerrunner replied. “No! I won’t! Flipstar still has a couple of lives!” Blazeheart cried. “One, actually.” Sheerrunner told her.

“Oh… no, but why would I be deputy?” Blazeheart asked. “Because, you’re obviously the best choice.” Sheerrunner responded. “No, I don’t want to be…” Blazeheart murmured. “How can any cat not want to be deputy?!” Sheerrunner meowed, shocked. “Because I’m not like you!” Blazeheart meowed. Sheerrunner drew back. “I’m sorry…. I didn’t mean…” Blazeheart murmured. “S’alright. I get it. I’m a descendant of Sharpstone, so I must prove my loyalty.” Sheerrunner replied sarcastically. “No! Sheerrunner!” Blazeheart cried after him as he turned and stalked away.

”Don’t worry. He’ll cool off and you’ll be friends again.” “Thanks, Growlfoot,” Blazeheart mewed. “Blazeheart! Want to come hunting with me and Chicorytail?” Comfreywave asked. “Yes, sure, Comfreywave.” Blazeheart mewed.

“Ah, Blazeheart, Comfreywave, Chicorytail, and Eclipsesong. Loyal warriors bring back plenty of prey,” murmured a voice by the entrance. “Oh, shut up, Badgerstripe.” Eclipsesong growled. “How about you shut up, Eclipsesong?” Shortnose meowed sarcastically. “Go away, Shortnose.” Chicorytail said, his claws sliding out. “Now, now, Chicory*kit*,” Badgerstripe teased. “Don’t call my brother a kit!” Comfreywave yowled.

“LET ALL CATS OLD ENOUGH TO CATCH THEIR OWN PREY JOIN HERE FOR A CLAN MEETING!” Flipstar’s yowl filled the clearing. “Oh, Clan meeting, can’t slash me now!” Badgerstripe yowled as he fled into the crowd of cats. Shortnose ran after him. Chicorytail gave his sister an apologetic look, before running off to hear Flipstar. “I… have decided I will retire.” Flipstar mewed, “I shall once again be… Flipwing.” Flipwing bowed her head to her clan before running off to the elder’s den.

Murmurs ran through the crowd. “Who do you think will be the new deputy?” Palemurmur asked Deerhop. “The new deputy. Ah.” Badgerstripe mewed. “He obviously thinks it’s gonna be him!” Sheerrunner whispered to Lynxstride. *What is this feeling, seeing the two of them so close? Jealousy?*

“It could be you.” Lynxstride mewed, gazing adoringly at Sheerrunner. “He doesn’t love her, don’t worry.” Comfreywave reassured Blazeheart. “Why should I care?” Blazeheart said. “Because you love him. I see the look on your face every morning as you wake up next to him.” Comfreywave said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Blazeheart glanced back at Sheerrunner. “Sheerrunner,” she started, “I’m sorry. I don’t judge you for what Sharpstone did. I shouldn’t have said that, and I don’t mean it. I hope… I hope you can trust me again.” “I’ve always trusted you.” Sheerrunner mewed, “I even love you.”

“I- I love you too…” Blazeheart mewed. “Say hello to your new deputy, Wildfoot!” Wrenwing announced. “Wildfoot! Wren star! Wildfoot! Wren star!” ShadowClan yowled. “We will be mates.” Sheerrunner decided. “No! It wasn’t supposed to go like this! You were supposed to love me!” Lynxstride yowled.

“Well, I don’t.” Sheerrunner meowed. Lynxstride gave him a contemptuous look, then fled to the warrior’s den.

### **CHAPTER 3**

Fawnspot looked around the clearing. Doeleap and Staghorn, her littermates, were sharing tongues outside the warrior’s den. In the medicine den, she could hear Clawear bumbling around with his patients. Fawnspot decided she would go see her mate, Paledust, in the medicine den. Paledust was there because he had fallen off the edge of the gorge.

”You know, you are lucky you’re even alive!” Fawnspot mewed at her mate. “Fawnspot is right, Paledust.” Clawear mewed. “How much longer do I have to stay in here?” Paledust asked Clawear. “Oh, love.” Fawnspot mewed, bending down to lick her mate. “Until you foreleg gets better.” Clawear said, nodding at the broken leg. “So forever.” Paledust joked. “Fawnspot!” Flickstar yowled. “Yes?” She asked, running out into the camp.

“You’re coming with me to the Gathering tonight.” Flickstar said. “Oh, okay.” Fawnspot mewed.

The full moon shone bright in the sky. Doeleap bounded beside Fawnspot and Staghorn. “Quick, let’s go get a spot.” Staghorn suggested. “I doubt Doeleap will be able to sit still,” Fawnspot teased her sister. “Hey! I’m just so happy! Because-“ Doeleap began. “Because you and Seedwing are mates now, we know.” Staghorn cut her off.

“ShadowClan has news to share.” Wrenwing called out. “Then yes, Wrenwing may share.” Flickstar mewed. “First, I am no longer Wrenwing. Our leader has retired. The new deputy is, of course, Wildfoot.” Wrenwing mewed, “I am Wrenstar. And second, Blazeheart is expecting Sheerrunner’s kits.”

“That is great, Wrenstar. I will share now.”

After the Gathering, Fawnspot curled up in her nest, and dropped to sleep instantly. “Greetings, Fawnspot,” a Tom’s voice said. “Who- you’re my father, aren’t you?” Fawnspot asked. The tom had glimmers of stars in his fur. “Yes, I come to deliver a prophecy.” the Tom said. “What prophecy?” Fawnspot asked. “Five cats, five lights, burning far and shining bright. Winds will come and day will go. The darkest night brings the brightest day.” The tom said. “Wait! What does that mean!” Fawnspot called after him, but he had disappeared into the darkness.
