Story Part 3 *Kits!*

Snowstar was lying in the nursery. She knew that the time for the kits to come was soon. Raincloud, her mate, slipped into the nursery.
"How are you doing?" he asked her.
"I'm fine now, but the kits are coming soon, I know it." she responded, looking somewhat anxious.
"That's good." he mewed.
Snowstar settled down for the night, the chirping of crickets, and calls of other night creatures filled her ears as she dozed off.
The next day...
Snowstar awoke to sharp pains. "The kits are coming!" she yowled. "Tawnyflash! Wavepaw! Help me!"
Tawnyflash and Wavepaw rushed into the nursery, with Raincloud pacing anxiously outside the entrance. Snowstar's flanks heaved, and a wet bundle slid onto the nursery floor. She panted for breath.
"Wavepaw, nip the sac open and lick the kit's fur the wrong way." Tawnyflash instructed her apprentice. "This will warm up the kit."
Wavepaw did so flawlessly. As she did, Snowstar felt another bundle slide onto the floor. Tawnyflash took care of that kit. A few minutes passed, with Snowstar heaving for breath the whole time. Then, a third bundle slid onto the floor. Wavepaw opened the sac, and licked warmth into the kit. A fourth followed soon after. "That's it." Tawnyflash announced. "Snowstar, you and Raincloud have four healthy young kits. Two toms, and two she-cats. Congratulations."
At this time, Raincloud pushed his way into the den. "Great job!" he congratulated his mate. He had been very anxious the whole time. "We can pick out names for them soon." he continued, watching the kits begin to suckle. StarClan was right. Snowstar had four kits, just like they said. I wonder if the rest of Snowstar's message will eventually turn out just as they said too. He wondered. It will. StarClan haven't failed us yet.

Half-Moon 6-19

OK. Today is the half-moon. Tawnyflash and Wavepaw are to go the the Snowy Oak to share dreams with StarClan. Let's hope that they bring us back some good news.

New Warrior

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath IceRock for a Clan meeting." yowled Skypelt.
"OK, Blackpaw has passed his assessment. I have spoken to Snowstar, and we have decided it is time for you to become a full warrior of FrostClan. Blackpaw, please step forward. Silvermist has been a good mentor to you. She has passed on many skills you need to be a warrior."
"I ,Skypelt, speak these words before StarClan in place of Snowstar, leader of FrostClan. StarClan, please look down upon this apprentice, who has trained so hard in the ways of your noble code. I commend him to you in turn. Blackpaw, from this day forth, your name shall be Blackslash. Your courage and skill will be honored by StarClan. May StarClan always watch over you in whatever you do."
Blackslash! Blackslash! Blackslash! Blackslash!
"Tonight you will sit silent vigil over the clan. Congratulations."

Assessment

OK, Blackpaw, your assessment will be today. Your mentor and Mistyleaf will be watching your assessment. Good luck, and be sure to post what you caught under this post.

New Apprentices!

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the IceRock for a Clan meeting" Skypelt yowled.
The Clan arrives at her summoning. 
"Tawnypaw came back from the Snowy Oak, and her new name is Tawnyflash!"
Tawnyflash! Tawnyflash!
"It is time for Wavekit, Oakkit,  and Leafkit to be apprenticed. Step forwards, kits."
"Wavekit, you wish to become a medicine cat, because you believe that this is the way StarClan has told you to best serve your Clan. Snowstar has agreed, and so has Tawnyflash. Wavekit, your mentor will be Tawnyflash, and your new name will be Wavepaw."
"Oakkit, your mentor will be Dawnfeather, and your new name will be Oakpaw."
"Leafkit, your mentor will be Raincloud, and your new name will be Leafpaw."
Wavepaw! Oakpaw! Leafpaw! Wavepaw! Oakpaw! Leafpaw!
