Sent of warm Newleaf filled Grossekit’s nose as he awoke. It was only a moon until his apprentice ceremony.

“Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey come forth.” There leader Popperstar announced. “Tallkit has gone missing.” Gasped rouse above the crowed of cats. He waited until they stopped then begun again “We can not assume the worst, so I have all ready sent out patrols to track him down.”

Grossekit’s weight and Brown fur rouse oh no not one brother not well we clan be attacked bye Riverclan. He thought. He must be at Shadowclan. With out thinking Grossekit ran out of Windclan camp and headed straight for the more.
Then he stopped dead he had gone to a part of his territory he had never been in. Grosssekit sniffed the air a disgusting sent filled his nose.

Despite the smell he keep up the paste. The sent got stronger and stronger until the ground became hard and could. A loud rough came from right in front of him.

All of reality hit him like a badger attack. A Twoleg monster was coming straight for him “M-m-monster! Starclan help me.” Grossekit yelled in distress but nobody was there to save him, not this time.







He squeezed his eyes closed as the rough grew louder and louder. Grossekit wanted to move but his paws wouldn’t move. I knew I would go to Starclan one day he thought but never thought it would end like this.

A slight presser pushed him onto the familiar grass. Blinking his eyes open to see a small black and wight tom with long skinny legs. “Tallkit!” Grossekit exclaimed. “Where were you? We were all worried about you.”

“I … I was stacking a rabbit when it crossed the … the Thunderpath. I followed it pretty far until I scented Shadowclan patrol,” Tallkit paused “then that’s when I saw you, and here we are.”

“Then …” Grossekit’s words where cut short when he bumped into smoothing.

“Then what?” Grossekit looked up to see a dark gray tom staring staring at him, it was there deputy, Claw. One of the most loyalist cats in there clan. Though he was a rogue until Popperstar gave him a place to stay after he lost his tail from a badger attack.

“It is time we head back for camp you two are in a lot of trouble.” Claw finished.




When they got back to camp it was nearly nightfall. Cats retuning from patrol had joy in there eyes but anger on there faces.
“My kits! My kits!” a voice rouse above the crowd. “There safe! There safe! The voice got louder and louder until it grew familiar. A pale brown and gold she-cat stepped forward.

“Mom …” Tallkit mumbled

“I thought you where dead” she liked Tallkit “and as for you,” she pointed at Grossekit with a flick of her tail “I thought you ran of to go and join Shadowclan you are in a lot of trouble.”

“But mom …” Grossekit wined.

“Don’t worry your not the only one who is getting a punishment.’ There mother pointed out “Lets go and talk to Popperstar about your punishment.” She finished.






“Starkit are you shier you don’t want to be a apprentice medicine cat when you have your apprentice name?” Popperstar asked.

“I told you I will think about it.” Starkit answered.

When Starkit came out of the leader’s den the moon hit her light gray pelt turning it silver her paws diapered in the shadows of the grass making her look like a decedent of Starclan.

“Popperstar, may we come in?” Grossekit’s mother asked

“Yes, Goldenstep?” he asked

“Well, you can see that Tallkit is back …” Goldenstep paused “and as there mother they need a punishment … for … running away like that getting every cat worried.” She finished.

“You are right so I have already thought of one,” Popperstar paused “if you act like a apprentice then you will get a punishment of an apprentice. You will take care of the elders for one moon.” Popperstar sighed. “And you will be watched by Tanglepath and Claw.” He finally finished.

“Yes Popperstar.” Both Grossekit and Tallkit mewed.

It was two weeks he scents was almost ran over by the Twoleg monster. Now he was headed down to get moss for the elders.

“C’mon put a smile on your face” Tanglepath said. Tanglepath was a wight she-cat with a gray stripe running down her back with gray splotches around it. “is this about the hole Starkit thing?” she asked.

“Yes! They can’t force her into a path she doesn’t want to follow!” Grossekit hissed.

“C’mon she was born at Highstones. I mean C’mon.” Tanglepath posted.

“Are you challenging me Cheerypath?” Grossekit spat.

Tanglepath’s eyes looked huge. She rouses her paw ready to attack. “C’mon call me that one me that one more time and you will never be Grossepaw!” she hissed

“I was kidding. Take it essay okay.” He meowed.






It was anther week later almost time for ’s apprentice ceremony. It seemed like nobody remembered the incident with Tallkit.

An unfamiliar sent filled Grossekit’s nose but no cat seemed to panic so maybe they all knew who it was.

He had slept in and Dawn patrol was already gone. Tanglepath must have gone with them because she was nowhere in sight.

“Riverclan! Warriors every where!’ a familiar voice cried out. Grossekit looked around to see Tanglepath with three other Windclan cats behind her.

“All cats gather around the grate space rock for a clan meeting.” Popperstar announced. His amber eyes shining in the suns rays. The space rock was a giant rock that was weight and sparkled when light toughed it’s smooth surface. It is also said that it fell from space and that’s how it got its name. “We have been ready for this battle for a long time …”Popperstar paused. “So … get in your positions.” He finished.

His mom Goldenstep stepped forward “Come, your brother is already in the nursery.” Her voice soft and smooth but her eyes filled with dread.


Back in the nursery, Starkit was huddled with her mom Wildwind. Wildwind is a small tortoise shell she-cat and is a retired medicine cat.

He walked over to where he and his bother sleep if only I could be an apprentice he thought then I could fight in the battle. I would be the best.



A few moments later the sound of battle rouse all around. “C’mon,” mewed Tallkit. “where going in to battle. Mom is in battle because we are almost apprentice and can tack care of are self.

“Okay I’m in!” Grossekit smiled. It’s the chance I have been waiting for! He thought.

Grossekit stepped out horror filled his eyes. Battling as blood dripping from the scared cats of both the clans.

Turning his head to see unfamiliar cat pushing another cat into there leaders den.


Grossekit darted after them. He ran though the over grown grass that graded there leaders den.

When Grossekit got into the den his eyes filling with horror his leader’s once perfect coat matted with blood his weight and brown fur standing on ends.

“Riverstripe!” Popperstar yelped. “Y-you cam b-back.” Popperstar panted

“Yes and for revenge.” Riverstripe voice was rough. Riverstripe was a tom and had a blue-gray pelt with weight markings all over his body.

“R-revenge on w-who, and w-why? Popperstar asked is eyes filled with fear.

“On you, for steeling my love Goldenstep from me. I loved her and she loved me but now that’s all changed and I’ve sworn revenge on you.” Riverstripe paused “And the only way to do that was to join Riverclan.”

“But we where brothers!” Popperstar mewed. Every thing froze. Popperstar is my father! Grossekit thought all my life and I didn’t know who was my father and now I do just now in this horrible battle.

“All that doesn’t matter to me anymore.” Riverstripe rouse his paw, extended his claws and slashed Popperstar’s side.

Popperstar stood there for a moment. Then he fell to the hard ground.

“Dad!” Grossekit walled. Grossekit jumped landing powerfully on top of Riverstripe. “That’s my dad!” Grossekit spat sinking his claws into the Riverclan warrior.

"G-Grossekit my s-son.” Popperstar mumbled.

“He’s your son Popperstar this … this stupid excuse for a kit,” Riverstripe spat throwing Grossekit off his back. Grossekit landed sharply on the hard ground. “I … I was beaten by this fur-ball. Well I’m out and so is the rest of my clan,” Riverstripe dashed out “I’ll be back!” his voice rang out on more time then all the Riverclan cats where gone.

Tallkit ran in the den his lags had blood running down them “Goldenstep is dead. Are own mother is dead thanks to that mouse brained warrior that calls him self Riverstripe.” Tears ran down Tallkit’s whiskers and hit the battle churned mud.

"T-Tallkit and Grosse-Grossekit my s-sons I thank you for these past few moons they have been filled with j-joy and now I m-must join Goldenstep in Star-Starclan.” Popperstar’s eyes started to fade as if all the energy was being sucked out of him.

“Y-you’re my father, Popperstar! Now I’m going to louse my dad! No I won’t let you die. I’ll … I’ll get Leopardpool are medicine cat.” Tallkit walled.

“No Tallkit it’s to late for me. And Grossekit you fought like Tigerclan and Lionclan put together. But before I go I want to tell you a prophecy I got from Starclan. They said: Two have come and a clan will be found but lost again and two will know. Please … find out… what… it… means… may… Star… clan... be… with… you… my…. sons.” Popperstar’s voice faded away his lifeless body looked small on the moon kissed ground.

Claw busted in with Tanglepath and Starkit behind him. “No! was like a brother to me and I never wanted him to die I never wanted to be leader. But I will become leader in the name of Popperstar.” Claw finished.









The sun had risen and Grossekit fur was plastered to his body with dry blood still remainig from the battle.

Tallkit sat beside him his eyes drooped waiting until a warrior told them that silent village was over for Popperstar and Goldenstep was over.

A village is when ether happens when apprentice become a warrior or a cat has died and is on its way to Starclan. The cats must be quit as they watch over the clan as the as the rest sleep until a senor warrior told them it was over.

There was where eight other cats there beside him and his brother. There was Starkit, Claw, Tanglepath, Leopardpool, Wildwind, and there elders Grass, Beesting, and Earbit.

A she-cat with creamy weight fur with a completely black face and paws walked out of the warriors den on to the shiny bark grass of Windclan camp " your village is over" she siad.

“Well good,” announced Grass. Grass was a thin black and brown tom with green eyes. He was found by Beesting when she was an apprentice and they where both seven moons old at that time. They ended up matting and having Popperstar and Riverstripe. “I can’t believe that my son died I was so proud of him and I still am, just in a different way. Thanks for telling us that the village is over Blackface.” Grass finished.

“I’m sheer Popperstar and Goldenstep made it to Starclan already.” Leopardpool rasped.

Claw stood up his up his dark gray fur flowing in the Windclan wind “Tomorrow I will make the journey to moonstones to receive my nine lives,” he paused. “and then well see what happens.” He finished.

“A Rogue leading us!” Ear-bit blurred out. Ear-bit was a small weight cat with on ear gone. “It’s like a kit becoming a deputy.”

"I know thing will be different but I will try my best to lead you.” Claws silver eyes shone with pride and energy as if he was already there leader.






Claw was gone and now was probably heading back from moonstones. The cats of Windclan where mumbling about who will become deputy and will Claw be accepted or not. Grossekit trotted over to Tallkit “I asked Claw if I could be a medicine cat apprentice when I become one.” Grossekit smiled.

“What did he say?” Tallkit asked his ember eyes glowed with curiosity.

“He side if nobody else that’s an apprentice wants it then yes.” Grossekit posted.

“Well good luck.” A soft voice came from behind him, it was . “I hope that Starclan will be with you.”

"Sounds like you’re from a different clan.” Tallkit teased

“Welcome your new leader.” A familiar voice rang out all three turned around to see Tanglepath jumping up and down on the soft grass of Windclan. Then continued “Clawstar has got his nine lives and…” she was cut off.

“Thank you Tanglepath but where having a clan meeting any way.” Clawstar paused. He crouched down and pushed off landing on the space rock. He turned to face the fest of the clan. “All cats gather around the great space rock for a clan meeting. As you know I have become leader so… lets get right to the point. I have chosen an new deputy and it is… Tanglepath. She is brave and has been a warrior long before I came to live here.” The cats murmured in agreement. Then he continued. “There are also a few kits I want to make apprentice. Grossekit, Tallkit, and Starkit. I know they are still young and not six moons old yet but Tallkit and Grossekit fought like Lionclan. So… we might as well make are last kit an apprentice too. Grossekit I would like if you where medicine cat apprentice to are clan do you accept?”

“Y-yes I do.” Grossekit’s voice was shaky.

“Do you accept, Leopardpool?” Clawstar asked

"Yes it would be nice.” Leopardpool answered.

“Then Grossekit you are now Grossepaw. He paused. “Now one to Tallkit and Starkit. Tallkit you will now be known as Tallpaw and your mentor will be Tanglepath. Starkit you will now be know as Starpaw and your mentor will be... Weightclaw.” He finished jumping off the space rock.

Starpaw and Tallpaw touched noses with there mentors. Then the crowd stared shouting there names. “Grossepaw, Tallpaw, Starpaw!”



That night Grossepaw curled up in between Tallpaw and Starpaw and closed his eyes. Now that I’m apprentice medicine cat I can figure out the prophecy he thought. then my dad would be proud.
