Cinderheart stared at Hazeltail’s tail as the queen exited the nursery. Cinderheart knew what that meant- she had to look after Larchkit and Smokykit. It was an assigned job that she and Hazeltail confirmed almost as soon as Cinderheart moved into the den.  Icecloud was now too close to having her own kits to look after them. If she was left alone in the den with the kits and Jayfeather was out, what would happen? Briarlight only just became his apprentice, a bit after Hazeltail delivered. She didn’t have much experience. The gray she-cat watched the two little toms tumble and play, and Cinderheart smiled. Looking down at her rou

It was enough that Brokenstar had ashamed and embarrassed Harescar, but now she was making him lead the patrol to apologize to ShadowClan (for something they never did) and convince them not to attack. This is a stupid, mouse-brained idea, Harescar thought like a grumpy kit needing a nap as he rounded up ThunderClan’s four other toughest warriors with him. He had been ordered to take Shorthaze, Birchfur, Beechflight, and Flashnight to ShadowClan with him. Harescar was lucky to have Beechflight with him to keep him company and cheer him up- or more so, chat him up. “Alright, let’s get this over with,” Harescar growled

“Dovestar! Dovestar, surely you’re kidding. You couldn’t possibly think that leaving the lake is a reasonable idea!” Greeneyes called after his leader as he leaped over boulders protruding from the ground to catch up to his leader. He was going so fast, he practically knocked Dovestar over, but luckily the leader dodged him just in time. “The Clan leader’s word is law, Greeneyes. Do you care to challenge the warrior code?” the cream she-cat responded calmly, tail flicking dismissively. Greeneyes growled quietly in annoyance. “I may be the newest and youngest warrior, but that doesn’t mea

All Seedpaw saw around her sister anymore was red. Oh, how I hate her, Seedpaw thought of Lilypaw as she watched the dark tabby and Millie march out of camp. “Seedpaw, over here!” called a voice. Seedpaw whipped around, fur bristling. It was Brightheart, motioning with her ginger-striped tail for Seedpaw to help clear the fallen tree. Seedpaw trudged over, glaring at her dusty paws. Why couldn’t I have been killed by this stupid tree, and not Firestar? Then my life would’ve been a whole lot easier in StarClan. Any warrior that wasn’t chosen to attend the Gathering was helping remove dead, brittle branches an

Brownkit couldn’t help but complain and whine as Skyclaw dragged him back into the nursery. The milky, stuffy nursery. The overpowering cat smell nearly made Brownkit feel sick to his stomach. “Brownkit, I can’t even trust you alone for one heartbeat,” Skyclaw gently chided over Brownkit’s moans and high-pitched dog whines. Brownkit sighed as his foster mother plopped him down on the ground and commenced to wash him up and down with long, soft strokes. All around him, Frostkit, Streamkit, and Hazelkit tumbled and play-fought, while Lightningdrop sat hunched in a corner, disgustedly pulling chunks of fur soaked

“Oh, you missed a spot, dear,” Littleflower meowed gently, flicking her tail against Yellowglint’s shoulder just as the yellow she-cat turned around, eyes narrowed and moss spilling out of her jaws. With a growl of annoyance Yellowglint leaned down to stuff more bedding in her mouth, cringing as a flea crawled down her neck. She ducked under the elders’ bush and stalked into the clearing, glancing up at the sky all WindClan cats were exposed to. Where was Nettlepaw when she needed him? He was an apprentice; even if he was the only one currently the least he could do was preform the apprentice chores himself. Nettlepa

“I will have Seedpaw forever. Ha!” Lilypaw writhed and squirmed, but no matter how hard she tried to get out of that mess, her paws only remained pasted to the ground with sticky, bubbly mud. “No, no! I won’t let you!” she screamed, straining her neck in the strange cat’s face. The cat was a dark tabby tom with a deep, menacing voice and fur that stank of dead, moldy leaves, dirty rivers, and season-old wet moss. Lilypaw hated him with all her might- but he wouldn’t leave her alone! This was the third night he had visited her… now Lilypaw dreaded whenever the sun went down. Finally, the to

Harescar skimmed his young, bright gaze over the crowd of cats gathered before him. “Oh, whoever should I pick to go on patrol?” he asked sarcastically. Beechflight, one of his best friends since kithood, was up near the front, and Harescar saw him roll his eyes. “You better take your deputy duties seriously, Harescar,” Beechflight joked, “or else Brokenstar’ll make me deputy instead of you before you can say ‘mouse’!” Harescar snorted. “Oh, please. Brokenstar loves me.” “Get on with it, youngsters,” senior warrior Shorthaze mumbled. “My legs may be short,

Chilly winds whipped the treetops back and forth, creating a blur of green, red, and gold leaves, insinuating the approach of leaf-fall. Various debris like chunks of wood or even whole branches were peppered around a huge clearing coated with a blanket of thick, soft green moss. Suddenly, another great gust of wind sent the litter hurtling away, over the edge of the mountains. As a wide sliver of bark tumbled after its relatives, a small hole was revealed, perfectly shaped as though carved by man; it was deep enough to house a newborn plant. With just luck, a seed fluttered down into the soil, and with one last breeze, crumbly brown earth

The pain was nearly unbearable. Mother Dog had to leave her puppies behind. She was a fairly large breed, mixed with something medium-size that had already been a mutt. Mother had had four puppies, two males and two females. The sisters were weak, but the males were strong. Mother left the female puppies’ bodies behind, and took her two sons to a new den that formerly served as an old badger burrow. However, the badgers were long gone. In their place was a few age-old droppings and stale scent. There Mother nursed her puppies for a little under a half-moon. However, she noticed that something was wrong with one of her offspring. He d
