| - A pretty light brown tabby she-cat glanced warily around the icy forest. She had her four kits stumbling about behind her. A long-furred white cat stumbled out of the bushes with a long gash runsi ng from her shoulder to her ear. The silver mother gasped and rushed to help the cat. The fluffy white clan cat scented of marigold and fresh yarrow. "Go, my clan will help me. But I have a prophecy to give you." The white cat's voice went hollow. "Silver, Willow, Leaf, Bright, and Sun will seal the unbalanced destiny of the clans." The cat said those words then slumped on the forest floor. Chapter one: Silverpaw POV I heard my mentor Iceleaf calling my name. I curled tighter in the little ball I already was. "Leave me alooone" I groaned. "Never!" Iceleaf hissed playfully and pounced on my tail. "Argh." I laughed. I stood up and flicked my tail at the camp. "Now get out! This den is apprentice territory!" I mrrowed. "I don't scent any markers." Iceleaf sniffed matter-of-factly. "We don't put them because we don't wanna scare the warriors off with our toughness." I giggle. "Ha! You do need us big, strong, warriors to protect you." Iceleaf shoved me out of the apprentice den. "Thanks I really needed that" I sniff and brush the dust off my fur with my tail. "Your welcome furball." Iceleaf sniffed and slithered past me to go eat with her soon-to-be mate, Owlflight. I rolled my eyes and glanced at the fresh-kill pile. There was six mice and a bird left so I quickly snatched a mouse and headed over to eat by the apprentice den. Willowpaw looked up as I sat next to him. His red tabby fur fluttered gently in the warm green-leaf breeze. "Hey Silverpaw." He smiled. "Hey." I nodded a greeting and dug into my mouse. It was tangy, salty, and tasted at if it had been rolling in catmint the whole spring. "Wow, your were hungry." Willowpaw chuckled. "Hmm...I wonder if it's because I didn't eat yesterday?" I rolled my eyes sarcastically. My sister Brightpaw, a pretty light sunshine-gold tabby skipped over to me. The extremely bright sun lit up the whole clearing and warmed my fur so i was in a good mood. I purred when I saw my kind, green-eyes litermate pad up and touch noses with Willowpaw. I knew those two were going to be mates. I was already thinking ahead of what their kits would look like. The sunshine streamed through the leaves and on to my silver-and-gray swirled fur, making everyone in the area have to blink. "You better get in the shade, Silverpaw. You'll blind everyone before sunhigh from where your sitting." Brightpaw laughed. "You too butterfly-brain." I cuffed her over the ear playfully. The sun put both of us in a good mood. We already knew that that day would be the day five apprentices would be made warriors. Willowpaw, Brightpaw, Sunpaw, Leafpaw and I. Brightpaw purred and pounced on me. "Here you can have the rest." I shoved the remains of my mouse towards and playfully bit Brightpaws scruff and raked my sheathed paw down her fur. "Let all cats old enough to fish join under Sunrock to hear my words!" Greenstar yowled and grinned down at the five apprentices who raced over to sit under Sunrock. "I, Greenstar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, she has trained hard to understand the ways of the warriros code and i commend her to a warrior in her turn. Silverpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?" "I do" "Then from now on you shall be known as Silverheart. StarClan honors your courage and cunning." I beamed and puffed up my chest. I was finally a warrior. Little did I know, grief and agony was in the future, threatening to take that honorary rank away from me.
