## Prologue

“Help!” yelled Thistlekit who was Featherbreeze’s kit as he struggled to get out of a spider's web. Lemonkit and Windkit pulled Thistlekit out of the spider web. Thistlekit said in relief, “Thanks, Lemonkit."

## Chapter 1

Leopardkit squealed as Mintlark shared a story about herding cows. “Tell me more!" she squealed until, Diamondfur mewed, “ Leopardkit and Nightkit, please go to Plopnose's den; Mintlark save that story until they're apprentices!" Nightkit mewed, “That's in 2 moons, Diamondfur!"

Nightkit and Leopardkit were spooked by their sister, Lunamoon. She said,  “Did you know that you are supposed to be Diamondfur's last litter?" Nightkit shook his head. Leopardkit looked at her littermate, and whispered,   “Lets go to Plopnose's den, Nightkit."

In Plopnose's den Leopardkit knocked over a stinky herb, but she realized it was Plopnose's fart! Nightkit yelled, “ Eww!" Plopnose didn't even seem embarrassed. Leopardkit laughed, but Nightkit was just disgusted . Plopnose said, “We are kin, you know?" Nightkit stared at him and Leopardkit said, “Mintlark told me." Plopnose was annoyed by Leopardkit's statement “Mintlark is our grandfather." Plopnose continued, “So that means we are cousins" Leopardkit looked out of Plopnose's den and said, “We'd better get going." and the kits walked out.

“COME QUICK!!!!!" yelled Snoopclaw.  She had started kitting Leopardkit thought.

## Chapter 2

“The she-cat is Featherkit and the tom is Birdkit." Snoopclaw explained, “Featherkit this is Leopardkit and Nightkit." Featherkit mewed, “ What, I can't see!" Snoopclaw said, “ Of course, you haven't opened your- oh you have opened your eyes!"

Featherkit stared at Leopardkit “Why do you have that fang sticking out of your mouth?" Leopardkit thought Why is she so rude from the start?  “She chipped her other tooth." Snoopclaw replied quickly. Featherkit peered at her littermate and whispered, “Weird kit." Birdkit added ,

“ And selfish, but Nightkit is very nice!" Leopardkit walked away. Mousebrain  Leopardkit thought.

## Chapter 3

Mintlark and Stripemix helped prepare Diamondfur to join the elders. Leopardkit and Nightkit were becoming apprentices. “All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather by the barn for a clan meeting!" shouted Lunamoon. Leopardkit ran up to the barn as fast as she could.

Cloudpaw was sitting next to Featherkit

“ Blackpaw and Cloupaw please step forward." Teddystar began, “ Blackpaw from this day forward you will be known as Blackpatch. Cloudpaw from this day forward you will be known as Cloudclaw." Teddystar finished. Mintlark spoke up, “The apprentices?" Teddystar felt embarrassed “Oh, oh of course. Leopardkit from this day forward you will be Leopardpaw, your mentor will be Lunamoon," Teddystar continued, “Nightkit you will be known as Nightpaw, your mentor will be Pandafur."

Leopardpaw greeted her mentor with a smile. “ What do you think my warrior name will be?" she asked. Lunamoon replied, “Either Leopardfang or Leopardbreeze." Not Leopardbreeze, Leopardpaw thought, Featherkit wants to be Featherbreeze.

## Chapter 4

Leopardpaw and Nightpaw were ready for their first patrol. Lunamoon began,

“ Stumpytail, you will lead a hunting patrol with Pandfur, Nightpaw, and I." she continued, “Leaftail, you will lead a herding patrol with Cloudclaw, Marshpelt, and Leopardpaw." Nightpaw glared at his sister. Leopardpaw walked behind Marshpelt.

“ Oh, hi Cloudpaw… err I mean Cloudclaw" Leopardpaw said blushing. “ Your the new apprentice aren't you?" He said, looking stern,

“ I already … well I think a mate." Leopardpaw thought, Must be Featherkit, “ Featherkit is a jerk." she said, almost regretting it. “ If a cow doesn't move, what do you do?" Marshpelt said, Cloudclaw wanted to respond, but he didn't want Marshpelt to hiss at him “ You bite it's hind leg?" Leopardpaw guessed. “ Bravo, Leopardpaw." She saw a cow that wasn't moving, so she bit its hind leg. “ See, Marshpelt I-'' she started, until the cow kicked her face, blood was all over the ground and her face went numb.

## Chapter 5

Leopardpaw awoke to the smell of herbs she screamed as she saw Bullpaw he whispered, “Keep it down, Plopnose is sleeping." She saw Plopnose curled up in his large nest. “Can I leave?" she asked. “Ok, keep it easy." She stood up, and walked out. Nightpaw looked at her and smiled as she walked away. Ok, she thought just gotta act like I DIDN'T get kicked in the face. She walked up the dirt path “Featherpaw what are you doing?" Leopardpaw asked Featherpaw. “Ugh Leopardpawsey." Leopardpaw wanted to scream, but she didn't, instead she went up to Lunamoon, "I'm expecting Teddystar's kits," Lunamoon said, "So Marshpelt is your new mentor." New kits, Leopardpaw thought.

Leopardpaw walked up t0 Marshpelt. He looked at her, "What do you want?" she guessed he didn't know yet so she replied, "You're my new mentor," she stared at him, "So can we begin training please." He glared at her. "Ok then." he said strictly.

## Chapter 6

"You're late." Leopardpaw said to Nightpaw. Nightpaw let out a sigh. Leopardpaw assumed he was nervous to become a warrior. It had been a moon after Marshpelt had become her mentor. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather by the barn for a clan meeting." Teddystar yelled. Leopardpaw called to her brother, "Race ya!" Nightpaw just ignored her.

She was at the barn in no time. A few moments later, Nightpaw was leaning his head on Ravenpaw, Leopardpaw stared at them in disgust. "Leopardpaw please step forward," Teddystar began. Leopardpaw walked up, "You shall be known as Leopardfang and now, Nightpaw and Ravenpaw please step forward." Teddystar glared at the young apprentice. "Nightpaw you shall be known as Nightpatch," Teddystar continued, "Ravenpaw, you shall be known as Ravenheart." Featherpaw growled to Leopardfang, "Don't act like your better then me, just because you got your full-name"

## Chapter 7

"You know what Leopardfang?" Cloudclaw asked. "No, what?" she asked. Cloudclaw responded, "You're all I want, a mate like you would be great" he blushed, Leopardfang asked him, "So are you asking me to be your mate?" Cloudclaw looked at her, "Of course I do," Cloudclaw continued, "I love you, our kits would be beautiful" Leopardfang thought, My kits, she continued, if  i have kits a father like Cloudclaw would be good, she thought, "Umm sure, I mean I'd love to be your mate."

She walked to the warriors' den only to see Ravenheart and Nightpatch sharing a chicken. She just wanted to curl up in her nest next to Cloudclaw all night. Cloudclaw approached her, "Let's go I have somewhere special to go," Leopardfang followed him.

"This is my little spot," he said to her. She stared at the beautiful waterfall. "Wow, this is beautiful…"

## Chapter 8

"Featherbreeze! Birdwing! Featherbreeze! Birdwing!" everyone cheered, except Leopardfang, it had been about a quarter moon since she became mates with Cloudclaw, "Hey, Leopardfang, we need to talk," Cloudclaw murmured, Leopardfang followed him to the bushes, "I can't be mates with you anymore, there is another cat I love." Cloudclaw whispered, Leopardfang stared at him until he walked away.

Bullfrog approached her, the young medicine cat stared at her, "Did you know you were expecting kits? It'll be you and Ravenheart in the nursery," Leopardfang wanted scream for 2 reasons, she didn't know she was expecting, or that her brother was having kits.

Leopardfang knew she couldn't tell Cloudclaw about their kits…

## Chapter 9

Leopardfang knew at this point, Cloudclaw lied, he didn't care about her or the kits she carried. Featherbreeze walked up in front of everyone.

"I'm expecting Cloudclaw's kits!" Featherbreeze exclaimed, JUST GREAT, Leopardfang thought, so Leopardfang announced, "I'm expecting kits, too." Featherbreeze let out a grunt and said, "Well then, who's the father?" Leopardfang remarked, "I will be raising them alone!!!" Leopardfang knew her kits would come in less than a moon.

Leopardfang approached the den only to see Featherbreeze moving her nest, "Hey what are you doing here?" Leopardfang hollered to her. "Cleaning out the trash, I mean you are moving dens right?"

## Chapter 10

"3 she-kits, well-done Leopardfang" Bullfrog mewed happily. The calico she-kit let out a mew, "This she-kit will be Windkit" she mewed towards the calico kit.

The two other she-kits remained unnamed until the elder, Stripemix approached the kits, "Mommy! I wanna name! " yelled the yellow and white kit. "Oh that kit is bitter like a lemon!" Stripemix blurted out. "How about Lemonkit then?" mewed Windkit, Leopardfang nodded, "This kit will be Stripekit, after Stripemix of course."

Featherbreeze walked by the kits, "It won't be long until you get new denmates," Featherbreeze mewed.

## Chapter 11

"Cloudclaw, Featherbreeze I am utterly disappointed in you. You are hereby exiled from FarmClan" Teddystar yelled in Featherbreeze and Cloudclaw's ears.

Thistlekit mewed, "Where's mommy going?" Windkit hissed back, "Your mom tried to kill my mom, fox-hearted kit!" Leopardfang slapped Windkit with her tail. Lemonkit hissed, "Yeah, Windkit don't be a jerk!!!"

Dovekit chased Stripekit around, "Catch me if you can!!" Brightkit mewed, "Guess what Dovekit? Stripekit is named after a dead cat!" Leopardfang knew it was true that Stripemix had died a night before Featherbreeze kitted.

Thistlekit was licking Lemonkit's fur. Leopardfang knew she could never tell her kits the truth.
