Firestar and Cinderpelt
Chapter 1
APPRENTICES
Cinderpaw was so excited to be an apprentice and her mentor was so great, even though she just meet him, she knew because he saved her life. Bluestar has just gave Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw their new mentors. Cinderpaw looked up and bumped her head against Fireheart's chin, it didn't really hurt, but it surprised them both. Then Frostfur raced to Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw congratulating them. Soon the ceramony was over.
"What are we going to do first?" Cinderpaw asked excitedly.
"We will explore the territory." Fireheart meowed
"Can Brackenpaw come with?" Cinderpaw asked. Fireheart turned to Graystripe
"Sure that will be fun." Graystripe purred and he lead the two apprentices out of camp.
Chapter 2
LEAF-BARE
Cinderpaw stalked a mouse, soon she got close enough and pounced, she caught the mouse.
"Great job." Fireheart purred. Cinderpaw brought her caught over to Fireheart, she couldn't believe it has been three moons sence she has become an apprentice, and she could now find a lot of prey, even in leaf-bare.
"Thank you." Cinderpaw replied, then they grabbed their prey and walked back to camp. It was cold, life wasn't so good in leaf-bare, this was Cinderpaw's first leaf-bare, Bluestar was sick and other cats were starting to sneeze and cough too. She didn't like leaf-bare. Yellowfang rushed up to Fireheart and told him urgent news. Cinderpaw only half heard what she said, but it had something to do with Bluestar and catmint. Then Dustpaw rushed into camp and said Tigerclaw needs Bluestar.
"I will go!" Cinderpaw volunteered.
"No, stay here, I will go after I get the catmint." Fireheart replied and raced out of camp. Cinderpaw frowned, then thought of an idea. 'If I go, then he will see how great I am.' Cinderpaw crept away when no one was looking. 'Fireheart will love me and think I'm brave.' Cinderpaw thought as she raced away.
Chapter 3
SO THIS IS THE END
Cinderpaw raced to where the scent line was it was very close to the thunder path. Cinderpaw crept close to the edge. 'Theres no Shadowclan.' Cinderpaw thought confused. Then she heard a monster coming. She turned and saw a big red shiny thing with glowing eyes, racing toward her, she was petrified with fear. Cinderpaw thought back to when Brackenpaw and her were kits and Speckletail taking about these monsters, they only walk on the black hard ground and they carry twolegs in them. Cinderpaw's life flashed before her eyes. Then suddenly the monster stooped and twolegs walked out to see her. Cinderpaw stared at them and then bolted away. She raced trough the forest and ran right into Fireheart.
"Cinderpaw?" Fireheart looked a bit surprised. Cinderpaw hid behind him.
"I'm sorry I disobeyed you! I will never do it again, just don't let them get me!" Cinderpaw wailed.
"What are you talking about? No ones chasing you." Fireheart meowed very confused. Cinderpaw peaked out from behind Fireheart and saw he was right no twolegs were following her.
Chapter 4
SAFE WITH HIM
Cinderpaw sighed with relief and looked up at Fireheart his green eyes looked down at her with sympathy.
"Tigerclaw was mistaken, no Shadowclan a crossed the boarder." Cinderpaw reported, trying to get herself together.
"Good, now let's get you back to camp." Fireheart meowed gently, his voice relaxed her. Cinderpaw wondered if he liked her as much as she liked him. She look in his eyes again, she could still see sympathy, but is that for a mate, friend, or apprentice? 'Probably apprentice' Cinderpaw thought sadly. She had to tell him of her love and show him what a great mate she is.
When they got back to camp Cinderpaw was feel a whole lot better. She walked over to her den and fell asleep.
Chapter 5
TWO NEW WARRIORS
"Cinderpaw do you promise to be loyal to the clan even if it coasts your life?" Bluestar asked
"I do." Cinderpaw was so excited her pelt was on end.
"So from now you will be known as Cinderpelt, Starclan honors your bravery and wisdom." Bluestar finished and her clanmates cheered for her and her brother, Brackenfur. So many cats came up and congratulated them. Cinderpelt was so happy when Fireheart came up and congratulated her.
Cinderpelt felt stif when the sun finally rose, it was so cold and boring, but maybe she can show Fireheart how tough she is. Soon she hear someone coming over to them. She turned and saw Fireheart and Graystripe.
"Good morning you to, sleep ok?" Graystripe teased.
"You two can go get something to eat and get some sleep." Fireheart meowed.
"Thank you-wait we can talk right?" Cinderpelt started to panic, did she just break the code?
"Yes, you can talk." Graystripe laughed. Cinderpelt and Brackenfur walked over to the fresh-kill pile, Cinderpelt grabbed a mouse, and Brackenfur grabbed a vole, then they walked over to warrior den. Cinderpelt carefully walked over to a empty nest and laid next to Brackenfur.
Chapter 6
PERFECT
Cinderpelt woke up really early, it had been two moons since she was made a warrior and she had a great idea. She found Fireheart and walked over to him.
"Hey Fireheart, want to go hunting?" Cinderpelt asked when she got close enough to him.
"Sure, is anyone else coming?" Fireheart asked
"Most are already out or sleeping." Cinderpelt pointed out and looked around the almost empty clearing. Fireheart shrugged and lead the way to near Shadowclan boarder.
"This reminds me of when I was training you." Fireheart purred.
"Yeah, but that was then, I am older now." Cinderpelt pointed out.
"Smarter and stronger sense then." Fireheart agreed.
"Fireheart, what do you think of me?" Cinderpelt asked, she just couldn't stand not knowing. This question took Fireheart my surprise, he halted and turned around.
"I think you are clever, strong, brave and beautiful, you will make some Tom very happy." Fireheart meowed after he though it through.
"Are you that Tom?" Cinderpelt asked. Fireheart stared at her as if he never thought of her like that, then blinked as if he realized he kind of did.
"I-I...maybe...that's is if you-" Fireheart stammered
"I do." Cinderpelt purred and preceded against him. This was perfect, not thing could compare to how she felt right then.
Chapter 7
NAMES
Cinderpelt was in the nursery, she had given birth to four kits two ruse rises ago. Fireheart just walked in, to see how she was.
"What shall we name them?" Cinderpelt whispered, making sure she didn't wake them. Fireheart looked at the four kits: one was gray, another was gray with a orange splash on his face, another one was black and white, and the last was a gray, orange and white calico.
"For the black and white Tom, Smudgekit." Fireheart meowed, Cinderpelt purred at the name.
"For the gray she-kit, Heartkit." Cinderpelt meowed softly.
"Then the gray tom with a slash of orange, Leafkit, and the calico, Mintkit." Fiteheart finished.
