A dark cave loomed in front of her. She slid her claw over a tree. Then she slipped into the cave. Many tunnels ran under the moor. She felt the presence of her medicine cat behind her. Soon, she could just make out three smooth rocks. She lay down beside the rocks. Soon, she saw many cats." Hello, Sunstorm. Welcome to Moonrocks", they said. " Are you ready to receive your nine lives"? Sunpaw stretched. It was almost time for training. She saw Pinepaw and Hollypaw sharing tounges by the daisy patch that the apprentices ate by. "Training, Sunpaw", said Birdfur. Sunpaw wanted to say, But I haven't eaten yet!, but she dared not argue with her Clan's deputy, who was also her mentor. She and Birdfur headed toward the traning hollow. Sunpaw saw Midnightpaw with his mentor, Cedarstorm. She smiled. The black-and-white tomcat always made her paws tingle. "Alright. We will practice the best way to stalk a rabbit", said Birdfur. She dropped into a crouch. Sunpaw watched as her mentor slid along the forest floor. I will try to do it like that, vowed Sunpaw. I will be the best hunter ever! "Okay, now you can go try it for real", anounced Birdfur. Sunpaw darted away. Soon, she spotted a young rabbit. She dropped into a crouch. She pounced and killed it with a swift bite. Sunpaw headed to camp with her prey. ................................................................................................................ "I'm beat," Sunpaw declared as she padded into camp. "You are?" Birdfur purred. "Yep, I am." Sunpaw slid into the den to rest. "Foxes! Foxes!" Sunpaw was jerked awake by the frantic call. Owleyes raced into camp ahead of a snarling, slavering pack of glossy-furred foxes. Sunpaw woke the apprentices, then stepped outside of the den. A snarl made her jump. It startled Hollypaw and Icypaw, too. The three she-cats slipped. Out of the corner of her eye, Sunpaw saw her sister Goldenpaw leaping from the boulder onto the back of a fox. Sunpaw scrabbled on the rocks, but counldn't get a goog grip. A flash of black and white fur caught her eye. Midnightpaw! he leaned over and hauled her to safety. The foxes were pouring out of camp by then. Sunpaw saw three little kits nursing at Dawnwhisker's belly. The queen had kitted, but at the wosrt time the kits could choose! " Sunpaw, you will know be known as Sunstorm. Starclan honors your courage and loyalty, and I welcome you as a full warrior of Rainclan". " Sunstorm! Midnightpelt!" Sunstorm lifted her head proudly. Owleyes congradulated her. Goldenshine and Lionflame licked her ears. Her littermates had received their warrior names a moon ago. Her other littermate, Pineclaw, went right back to grooming Hollypaw. But Hollypaw shooed him away. "Will you be my mate?" asked Midnightpelt suddenly. "Rainstar! No!" Sunstorm yowled in agony. Her beloved mother was dead? Sunstorm saw Birdstar leap onto the Tallboulder. "Organize patrols, Sunstorm," she said. Sunstorm turned to Bramblestripe. "You will lead the sunset patrol. Take Lionflame and Stripestorm." She turned to Tawnyfur. "Lead the dawn patrol tomorrow," she said. "Take...er.. Cedarstorm and Palmwhisker." " I will take out the sunhigh border patrol with Rosepaw , Hollystripe, Berrypaw, and Cloudysky." She led her patrol out. " What is that smell?" asked Rosepaw. Sunstorm tasted the air. A strange scent hit the back of her mouth. "Let's investigate," she said. Soon, they found the scource of the scent: a black cat lay wounded on the ground. " Sunstorm, he's hurt!" screeched Cloudysky.
