Story Part 7: Part 2 *Mysterious Fire*
As you know, Lilykit has gone to the stream, and the others are still in the nursery with Snowstar.
Lilykit suddenly awoke, and felt the chill of the moon, even though it was not full. She shivered, then remembered why she was out there. I'd best be getting back, she thought. or else the Clan will come looking for me. Her fur was dry by now, so she didn't have to worry about that. Now, all I have to do is find my way back to camp.
She picked up her own scent, and followed it all the way back to the camp, and curled up alongside her mother and siblings.
An hour later...
Winterkit awoke, and felt hungry. He trotted out of the den, and to the pile, which unfortunately happened to be non-existant. He felt like trying to hunt, so went off into the woods, leaving on a main trail where he was likely to find his way back. He opened his mouth, and ran air through it, so he could smell better. Mouse, he thought, because he smelled a mouse.
Stealthfully, he tracked it to the place where it was nibbling a seed. He dropped into a hunter's crouch and got ready to spring. Just before he sprung, however, the mouse leaped away and down a hole to it's nest. Winterkit felt vibrations in the ground, and ran to hide under some leafy covering. He was just in time, as he saw a light emerge from across the clearing. He had heard stories of fire, and how it looked, smelt and felt, burning to the touch. This light had no smell, and looked different from descriptions he had heard of it. It had no heat coming from it whatsoever.
The light came closer and closer, but it was in the air, a floating light. Winterkit crouched in the underbrush, belly to the ground, as the feared light came closer and closer. Then he noticed that a twoleg was holing it! The twoleg didn't get burned while holding the light, which confused Winterkit. The twolegs must have some kind of power over nature, even fire! he thought excitedly. I wish they could teach me! Then my Clan would be warm in the coldest of leafbare.
But that's mouse-brained, he thought. I can't communicate to them. And so he crept through the low bushes along the path, and followed it back to camp. He knew the twoleg would never find the small cat trail back to camp.
Once in camp, he curled up next to his siblings and mother, exhausted and ready to fall asleep, and had a second thought. Mouse dung! I forgot to get something to eat!

Story Part 7: Part 1*Water*
It was a peaceful night in the FrostClan camp. Those still awake could hear the chirping of crickets, croaking of frogs by the stream, and the occasional hoot of an owl. Best of all, the stars were clearer than ever. "It is a good omen." mewed Snowstar quietly to no cat in particular. "Our warrior ancestors are watching over us." At this, she promptly padded softly to the nursery and curled around her kits. They could do without her, but she wanted to spend as much time as she had with them before they were apprenticed.
*around midnight*
Lilykit stirred restlessly. The other kits slept peacefully. I really need a drink of water, she thought anxiously. I know, I'll go to the nearest stream. Then I can get a drink there. So she got up quietly and padded softly out of the camp, nose searching for the scent of water. There! she thought, smelling a stream. She took off at a ground-eating lope for the water she had scented.
When she arrived, she found she had scented a stream of cool, refreshing, slow-flowing water. She dipped her head and drank greedily. Here was water that had no taste of moss to it. I could stay here forever, drinking and drinking. Lilykit loved the taste of the fresh water. It made her feel strong. She waded further into the water, and suddenly realized how hot she had been. She even dipped her head underwater, because of the heat. She didn't know that the time of the leaves falling could be so hot. It had been cool the last few days, and she had been thankful for her thick pelt. But not now.
Lilykit finally felt cooled off, so she waded out of the water. She decided to dry off on a rock, because she would look very suspicious coming into the camp all dripping wet. She climbed up the rock, and promptly fell asleep.

Practice Assessment
This is just a practice assessment, not the real one. Wolfstorm told me about this idea, and I think it is a good one. It will give apprentices a practice, so they kinda know what the real one will be like. Leafpaw and Oakpaw, this is your practice assessment. Have fun, and report under this post what prey you caught, or anything else you discovered.

Story Part 6 *Fake Gathering*
*This story part happens during the gathering, when many cats are gone, and Dewstripe and Stormbringer are watching the kits.*
"Since there is a BIG gathering going on now, and somehow Snowstar forgot to invite us there, we should have our own totally awesome small gathering!" announced Etharkit. "I will be Etharstar, and you will be my warriors of GlenClan!"
"Okay," mewed Winterkit, "I'll be Winterbreeze."
"I'll be Lilyflower." mewed Lilykit.
"I'll join your gathering," mewed Dewstripe, "And I'll be the warrior Dewstripe!"
"I'll be the warrior Eagleslayer!" mewed Eaglekit. "Etharstar, you should say that I earned my name by killing an eagle that had taken a kit, but I killed the eagle, and saved the kit!"
"Great! I'll certainly say that at the gathering." Etharstar mewed."Anyone else want me to say something?"
Dewstripe, who had been to 'Big gatherings' put in some info. "Usually, at gatherings, the leader explains how good the prey is running, about medicines, - " but she didn't get much further.
"No no no!" Etharstar yelped. "That's boring old cat stuff."
"Ahem..." Dewstripe cleared her throat.
"Sorry Dewstripe." Etharstar mewed sadly, then brightened. "Come on, Clan, let's go to the gathering!" The others all followed her. "Here's a good place to hold the gathering." Her tail flicked towards a thick branch that had fallen on the ground inside the camp. She leaped up and turned to face the cats in her Clan. "Today's gathering news: Eaglepaw has recently become Eagleslayer. He earned this name by killing an eagle that had taken a Clan kit. Fortunatlly, the kit was only very shocked and afraid, and not injured."
"Lilypaw and Winterpaw have also recently received their warrior names, Lilyflower and Winterbreeze.
Lilyflower! Winterbreeze! Lilyflower! Winterbreeze!
"The prey is running well too." she announced, incorporating some of what Dewstripe had told her to say. "That's all this Clan's news. Who will announce next?"
Eagleslayer leaped up. "I'll play Eaglestar, leader of FlightClan. This Clan's news: I am the new leader, because Dovestar has died. She was nobly struck down in battle against a group of rouges. She was a great leader, and will be sorely missed. Also, we have two new warriors. Riverpaw and Everpaw are now Riverstone and Everflight."
Riverstone! Everflight! Riverstone! Everflight!
"That's all of FlightClan's news."
"Then this gathering is closed." Etharstar motioned to her Clan to follow her back. Eaglestar now abandoned his role as the leader of FlightClan, and was back to Eagleslayer.
"That was fun!" exclaimed Winterkit.
"Yeah!" purred Lilykit. "I bet real gatherings aren't that fun."
Dewstripe held in a purr. Real gatherings were MUCH more exciting, but the kits had made the small gathering fun, though.
"Since there is a BIG gathering going on now, and somehow Snowstar forgot to invite us there, we should have our own totally awesome small gathering!" announced Etharkit. "I will be Etharstar, and you will be my warriors of GlenClan!"

Story Part 5 *A Game?*
Snowstar awoke in the nursery, only to find that her kits were gone. She sighed, so young, and yet so very adventerous, she thought admiringly. She yawned and stretched, then exited the den to find the culprit kit who had led the others astray. She noticed the kits as soon as she had poked her head out of the den. Making nuisances of themselves, as usual, she noted dryly. The kits were tumbling over each other in the middle of the camp clearing. It seemed like they had tried to exit the camp, via the gap between the nursery and a large clump of bushes, but had gotten pricked by the thorns, and were now fighting over who was to blame.
"Kits!" she scolded severely, "Don't fight in the middle of the camp where warriors and apprentices, who unlike you, make themselves useful every day travel through. They have enough to worry about besides tripping on small kits like yourselves."
Snowstar watched the kits react to her scolding. Lilykit and Winterkit looked very ashamed of themselves. Etharkit wouldn't meet her eyes, and Eaglekit looked downright angry at getting caught. All the kits' fur prickled with embarrasment.
"We're sorry." the all chorused together.
"You should be." she mewed. "If you want to play, play outsides the nursery. You could even play inside, since we're the only ones in there besides Stormbringer. But be warned, if any other queens come into the nursery expecting kits, you will have to do all your playing outside, so as not to disturb them."
The kits trailed into the den, but imediatly livened up as soon as Eaglekit pounced on Winterkit, and the two of them fought. Etharkit leaped onto the peak of a nest, and squeaked, "I'm the queen of the nest!"
Lilykit leaped up, pushing Etharkit off the nest and proclaiming, "Not anymore! I'm the queen of the nest now!"
This brought Winterkit and Eaglekit to attention at the new game Etharkit had started. They both leaped up and over, onto the side of the nest that Lilykit was now queen of. The force of them knocked her off the nest. Then, they turned on each other and wrestled for a bit, until Eaglekit succeeded in knocking Winterkit off the side of the nest. "Now I'm KING of the nest!" he boasted. "And none of you can knock me off!" Etharkit and Lilykit leaped up, but Eaglekit dug the tiny thorn-sharp claws of his hind legs through the mossy covering of the nest, and into the firm bracken, stabilizing himself, while his front paws battered them away. By then, Winterkit had recovered, and took a leap at Eaglekit, but the "king" batted him away easily, with his hind claws stuck in the nest.
After a while, the kits got bored of trying to knock Eaglekit off the nest. It wasn't as easy as they had thought it would be. "Told you you couldn't knock me off the nest!" he boasted to the other kits. "Now you have to call me the king!" None of the kits wanted to call Eaglekit the "king", so Snowstar came up with another idea for them to sink their teeth in.
"Why don't you kits go to the elder's den?" she told them, figuring it would keep them out of trouble. The kits loved that suggestion, and scampered off the elder's den, for the very first time ever. They entered the den, and met the elders.
"Hello." said Leafdapple and Dawnshadow kindly to the kits.
"What are your names." asked Shortwhisker, the cranky elder, who had just woken up from her nap.
"I'm Eaglekit," mewed Eaglekit.
"I'm Etharkit."
"I'm Winterkit."
"I'm Lilykit."
"That's nice." Shortwhisker replied.
"Don't mind Shortwhisker," Leafdapple mewed kindly to the kits. "She's quite cranky, especially after just waking up from a nap."
"So..." replied Shortwhisker. "Why are you young kits here, disturbing your elders?"
"Snowstar told us to come here." mewed Eaglekit. "She's our mother."
"That's right, you're the leader's kits." Shortwhisker mewed in reply. "Well, I've got something to tell you! Don't ya expect any special treatment from me, just 'cause you're Snowstar's kits. That aint how I work around here!"
"Umm..." mewed Etharkit.
"REALLY?" exclaimed Lilykit.
"Oh..." Winterkit muttered softly.
"Humph." huffed Eaglekit.
At that moment, and not a moment too soon, Blackslash padded softly into the den. "Hello," he mewed to Shortwhisker. The kits winced, waiting for her to get mad at him, but she seemed to calm down at his presence. "Come out, kits." he mewed to them. When they were all out of Shortwhisker's hearing range, he told them, "Shortwhisker was about to have one of her crazy fits. She's very cranky because she's so old. I'm one of the few who can calm her."
Etharkit looked at him admiringly, "You're great! Thanks!"
Blackslash sighed. "Next time, go in when she's asleep. The other elders are fine."
"We sure will." she answered. Then added, "Bye." as he padded off. "Come on," she told her siblings, "Let's play outside the nursery."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Snowstar was dreaming. She stalked the mouse deftly through the forest. It was heading towards the thunderpath. She frowned, Better catch this soon, before I get squashed. She crouched down, ready to spring. A cry pierced through the calm. The mouse ran off, startled. Snowstar searched for the source of the cry. She pounded into the clearing, where she had heard the cry come from. A monster loomed on the thunderpath, coming her way. In the middle of the thunderpath was a kit. Snowstar shot forwards, pushing the kit to the other side of the thunderpath.
"There, you're safe now." she told the kit. It was only then, that she realized this. The kit she had saved was Winterkit!
"Kits!" she scolded severely, "Don't fight in the middle of the camp where warriors and apprentices, who unlike you, make themselves useful every day travel through. They have enough to worry about besides tripping on small kits like yourselves."

Story Part 4 *Names*
Snowstar stretched and yawned. She was relieved that her kitting had gone very well. Her four unnamed kits snuggled by her side. "It's time we think up names for them." she commented to her mate Raincloud. "I've thought of some good ones."
"So have I." her mate replied. "Tell me yours first."
"Well," Snowstar mewed, nosing a lightly dappled gray she-kit, "I made up a name for this one. It's not the usual natural name, but I like it. Etharkit."
"Umm..." Raincloud muttered, wondering why his mate had chosen to make up a name of her own. "Sounds fine to me." he finally replied, not wanting to let his mate down. After all, she led the Clan. She must have made this choice for a good reason. "What are the other names you picked out?" he asked, changing the topic.
Snowstar motioned towards the all white tom. "I want to name him Winterkit. His pelt is white like winter's snow. That's all the names I thought of. What about you?"
"Well," Raincloud began, pointing towards the lightly rosy-colored she-kit, "I want to name her Lilykit. She looks like those lillys I see in the Twoleg gardens, by the catmint." He then pointed towards the one kit, a tom, who was awake. "I want to name him Eaglekit, because he seems to be always watching us when the other kits are asleep like an eagle."
"Those sound like good names." Snowstar agreed. "You can tell the Clan when you leave here."
"So have I." her mate replied. "Tell me yours first."
"Well," Snowstar mewed, nosing a lightly dappled gray she-kit, "I made up a name for this one. It's not the usual natural name, but I like it. Etharkit."

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.
"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.

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."

Half-Moon
Today is the half moon. You know what that means, right? Tawnypaw, you must go to the Snowy Oak to share dreams with StarClan. (Post your dream there as a comment.)

A New Warrior
Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath IceRock for a Clan meeting!
The Clan assembles.
"Snowstar?" Mandarinpelt's voice calls out from the crowd of cats. "Aren't you supposed to be in the nursery?"
Yes, but I am feeling much better today, and I really want to announce this! Redpaw did so well on his assessment. Redpaw, step forward.
Redpaw, Ritzfur has been a great mentor to you, and has passed on much of what he knows to you. I feel that you are ready to become a warrior.
I, Snowstar, leader of FrostClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He has trained hard, and learned the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in turn.
Redpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect this Clan, even at the cost of your life?
[I do]
Then by the powers of StarClan, Redpaw, from this day forth, you will be called Redforest. May StarClan always look down upon you and guide your paws in what is right and true.
Redforest! Redforest! Redforest! Redforest!
Redforest, tonight you shall sit silent vigil by the entrance to camp.
*Snowstar carefully climbed down the rock, but still twitched at the impact. Only Raincloud noticed, and looked concerned. Snowstar noticed, and looked nonchalantly toward the newly named Redforest.*
"Congratulations!" she mewed.
Is she feeling OK, or is she really close to having the kits? Raincloud wondered. She knows that Tawnypaw hasn't gone to the Snowy Oak. Is she just trying to give Tawnypaw more time?
