Anouncement from the Author: Just now starting!

Prolouge:A beautiful sand colored cat with stars in her fur stood at the edge of a clearing starring at nothing,as if she were waiting for somthing or somone."What are you doing Fireflower?"a small kit mewed"Ashkit?!?!?!"the she cat exclaimed."You're in Starclan now?!?!" "Yeah."the kit mewed "How-When did y-?"she meowed untill she saw the sad look on the kit's face "Fireflower?" "Yes Ashkit?" "I have a message."...

Chapter 1
Flamekit woke up from his nap and walked around camp."Flamekit over here!"Flowerkit purred.He padded up to her"What now?"he sighed"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!!"Flowerkit Squeeled."I heard Shadowpelt say that it was time that I was an apprentice to Dawnstar!" "That's great!"Flamekit purred "You're on your way to becoming a sucsessful Medecine cat!Do you think me and Sparrowkit will be apprentices too?"he asked shyly"THINK?!?!?!I KNOW YOU ARE!!!!!"she yowled.Everyone starred at her"What?!?Can't I be excited once in a while?Jeeze!"she meowed.

"Let all those who want to hear this meeting come forth!"Dawnstar yowled"As you know Shadowpelt needs an apprentice so we will have an apprentice cerimony for our Medcine cat apprentice!"she yowled This is so cool I'm going to be a Medicine cat! Flowerkit thought "Our new Medicine cat apprentice is FEATHERPAW!"
Dawnstar purred.Flowerkit's heart sank,she felt as if everything she had worked for had dissapeared and had no meaning. Why?Why?WHY?!?!Did I not train hard enough?Did I...fail miserably?Is there somthing wrong with me?Or...Is it something to do with how I failed at saving my own brother Ashkit? Flowerkit thought hopelessly and ran to her den sobbing.Shadowpelt rushed after her"What's the matter?Do you not want to be a Medicine cat?"he meowed"Wha-what are you talking about?"she meowed puzzled."When Dawnstar said Featherpaw she was yelling at Featherpaw for mocking her."he laughed."So...I'm the new Medecine cat apprentice?!?!"she meowed excitedly."Yes you are,FlowerPAW!"

Chapter 2
Flowerpaw went into the healer's den"You can sleep over there Flowerpaw."Shadowpelt meowed in her ear."WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!"Flowerpaw hissed."Jeeze what's the matter...WOAH!!!!!!"Shadowpelt saw that the den had been torn up and everything was scattered"What happened to my-" "Ah hem!" Flowerpaw growled "I mean our den."Shadowpelt meowed.The two walked into the den when Flowerpaw meowed"Shadowpelt look at these!Tiny,ity,bity feet!Kits must have gotten in here!" "But how?Wouldn't their mother be watching them?"Shadowpelt mewed puzzled.He walked around and sniffed"The den smells like-" "LIKE MY BROTHER FLAMEKIT!!!"Flowerpaw interupted.She ran out of the den and noticed that her brother's paws led outside of the camp.She ran after the paw prints and deep into the woods.

"Flamekit?"Flowerpaw meowed"Where are you?!?"she yowled and sat down,looking into the sky."GREAT STARCLAN WHERE ARE YOU?!?!"she yowled as rain poured from the sky dripping on her face.She ran into an abandoned fox hole and stayed the night there"Great.Not only is my brother lost but now I am too!"she growled untill she fell asleep.Wherever you are Flamekit,please stay ok! she thought.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Flamekit?" Flamekit heard."Must be my sister."he sighed as he followed the voice when it began to rain.He looked up and thought he saw his brother Ashkit watching him."Why?Why did you have to die?No...it's not your fault.IT'S STUPID FLOWERPAW'S FAULT!!!!!!IF SHE HAD JUST GIVEN YOU JUNIPER BERRIES AND NOT DEATH BERRIES YOU WOULD HAVE LIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!"he growled in frustration and swiped at a bush scaring two thrushes away.He cursed and stormed off into an abandoned fox hole when he heard"I'm sorry I killed him."

Chapter 3
"Who the-Flowerpaw?!?!"he mewed"Yeah it's me."she sighed"Did you hear what I said?"Flamekit asked shyly"Every word!"Flowerpaw sobbed"I couldn't even save my own brother!!!!!!!I'm so useless why did Shadowpelt choose me?!?!"she meowed through sobs"Shh shh it's ok Flowerpaw.I was just mad,I didn't mean it."Flamekit meowed sorrowfully and licked her forehead"Shadowpelt chose you because he know's you'll get better!Look if Ashkit didn't die you wouldn't have learned from your own mistake!"he purred hoarsly"And if he had lived?"she whispered"Ummm I think you would still have learned but all I know is this,I'm your brother and you can count on me!"he purred untill she bawled again"UGGHHH WHAT NOW?!?!?!?!"he hissed covering his mouth quickly as soon as he realized what he said"I'm sorry!Please don't cry again!"he meowed."It's just that..."she sniffed"How can I count on somone who trashes my and my mentor's den and runs away?!?!"she cried.Flamekit got mad but stayed calm"Ok so I did behave like a hindleg walker kit I was being stupid ok!Do you forgive me?" he meowed "Yes!"she purred.

When Flowerpaw fell asleep a Starclan message came to her"Fire and ice,black and white,moon and sun they are all opposites beware of yours!"a familliar voice meowed to Flowerpaw.She was in a clearing where all the clans met together in peace or in battle near the foot of one monster oak tree.She saw a small gray shape on a branch just above her"A...Ashkit?!?!Thank Starclan you made it to me!!!!"she stopped and began to whimper"I'm sorry I killed you.If only I had used the right medicine!" "Flowerpaw hush!I'm happier here!" Ashkit meowed and jumped down"My message will become clearer in time."he warned"That was your message now for you clan's message that you will share with the other healers:The moon shall change in one night,and bad blood will run through the veins of those who seek power."he meowed wisely and faded away"No don't leave me!" Flowerpaw yowled"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!".She woke up and smelled blood and saw that the floor was covered in blood turning bright red in the sunlight.She heard a faint yowl and saw that Flamekit was gone and the blood led right out of the den with them smell of a fox!

Chapter 4
"Flamekit!"Flowerpaw screached and ran out of the den following the blood trail"Woah MAJOR De` ja vu!"she growled to herself as she ran."Flowerpaw help me!!!!!"Flamekit's voice faded away"I'm coming!"she called back,and ran even faster.She ran so fast she got to the fox in no time"Get away from my brother foul-breath!"she hissed and jumped on the fox.The fox tried to bite Flowerpaw,letting Flamekit down in a heap.He jumped on the fox but flowerpaw pushed him off"Get it's belly!"she growled.Flamekit did as he was told and slid under the fox unsheathing his claws.He swiped t the soft flesh and blood spattered on hs face"EWWWWWWW FOX BLOOD!!!!!!!!!"he hissed.The fox howled in pain and ran off throwing Flowerpaw onto the ground."We did it!"Flowerpaw meowed in triumph she walked over to Flamekit and put Dock to stop infections from getting in,Goldenrod to heal his wounds,honey to sooth his wounds,and cobweb to stop the bleeding."That feels good!"Flamekit purred."I'm glad it does!"Flowerpaw meowed and carried him back to camp.

"Flowerpaw,Flamepaw?"Oakfur meowed in dismay"Flampaw?Don't you mean Flamekit?"Flowerpaw meowed."He didn't tell you?!?!He's my apprentice and you sister Sparrowpaw is Redfoot's apprentice!We had the cerimony when you ran into the den!"he meowed."Oh."Flowerpaw meowed.Dawnmoon walked up to them"Why did you run away like that?"she growled"We had four whole parties out yesterday and we have three out right now!"she hissed."Do you know how worried we were?!?Do you know how worried I was?!?"she meowed"I thought that I had lost my other two kits!"she sobbed and grabbed them with her tail"Promis me you won't do that again?"she sniffled"Of course mama!"Flamepaw and Flowerpaw meowed in unison."I guess I have to punish you!"Dawnmoon sighed"Flowerpaw,Flamepaw no training for a week you are to stay inside the camp.Flowerpaw you have to help every cat around here.If they are hurt leave them to Shadowpelt.Flamepaw,you are to take care of the elders every day this week!"she meowed sternly and walked away."Well it doesn't get any worse than this right?"Flamepaw sighed."No it doesn't."Flowerpaw mewed Or will it? she thought grimly.

Chapter 5

--------------------------------------------One week later-----------------------------------------------

"Great we're not in punishment anymore!"Flamepaw purred"You're one to talk!"Flowerpaw growled."What's wrong?"Flamepaw meowed"I'm still stuck in camp because I'm a Medicine cat apprentice!"she sighed"Don't worry!I'm sure at some point you'll run out of herbs and get new ones!"Flamepaw purred"Awwwww Shadowpelt already went out yesterday and got herbs!It'll be ages before we get new ones!!!!!"Flowerpaw whined"Really?I didn't see him leave yesterday!"Flamepaw meowed"You never pay attention so that's why.Duh!"she meowed sarcastically.Flamepaw got mad"Look you may be a medicine cat but you're still my sister!"he growled and lunged at her"HELP!!!!!!!"Flowerpaw screamed as Flamepaw used warrior moves on her"HELP I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT!!!!!!!!"she gasped under his weight.Oakfur,Redfoot,Dawnstar,and Shadowpelt dragged Flamepaw off of Flowerpaw"What in Starclan's name is wrong with you?!?!"Oakfur hissed"You can't fight a medicine cat even though she's you sister!"Dawnstar growled"Especially not with those warrior moves!" Redfoot snarled.The three cats took Flamepaw into Dawnstar's den while Shadowpelt healed Flowerpaw"We...We've always been so close.We always did everything together.We were so inseperable but now...it's all gone!"Flowerpaw whispered through sobbs.

"What were you thinking?!?!Attacking your own Medicine cat/sister!!!"Dawnstar hissed"Are you mousebrained?!?"Snarled Flamepaw"She was practically asking for it!!!" "I'm your mother and leader you cannot talk to me like that!"Dawnstar gasped"I can and I will!"Flamepaw hissed"She killed Ashkit,and she's never nice to me mom!She needs to die!"he sobbed"Look I know that your brother's loss is so hard to get over but that's not an excuse to try to kill Flowerpaw."Dawnstar whispered in Flamepaw's ear."I remember when you,Flowerpaw,Sparrowpaw,and Ashkit all playing and you four were all so close.But when Ashkit drank the poison and Flowerpaw gave him death berries on accident every thing changed.Sparrowpaw is quiet and shy.She was so outgoing and friendly.Flowerpaw became so ashamed of herself.You became a monster.And...three stopped being close.It's heartbreaking."Dawnstar cried.
