Aquapool, the grey tabby medicine cat, was taking care of kits that day. Emberwhisker, the beautiful- young red tabby, sat with a rather cranky elder.
Smallpaw and Willowpaw look up as Daisypaw was dragged into the den. "Da-" Smallpaw began, but was cut off by Pinepaw's glare.
Emberwhisker whipped her head around to see what was going on. "Poor kit." She meows, padding over to her.
"Emberwhisker!" The cranky old elder spat, his fur pricked up as he sniffed the air. "What's a Darkclan warrior doing here?"
"1) I'm not a kit! 2) Mind your own mouse dung!" Daisykit spat back. The elder began to growl, but was cut off by a viscous swipe. Though her claws weren't out, Aquapool meant it. "Knock it off, Jaggedteeth!"
Jaggedteeth looked at her, and slowly calmed down. Jaggedteeth was a early-retired warrior who has jagged teeth that were very crooked. He could no longer bite into a Warriors pelt/skin and had to have his fresh kill broken up into pieces.
Daisypaw looked up gratefully at Emberwhisker as she walked away. "Thank you."
"Mhmm." Emberwhisker looked over at her, "I'd like it if you'd stay here until you've healed fully."
"I really need to get back to my clan. Aspenflight will wonder where I am." Daisypaw admits, looking down at her paws. She regret going on the ice, especially to other territory. Daisypaw knew it was wrong, but she wanted to see her siblings. Now, she had only seen her brothers.

"What clan are you from?" Emberwhisker asks, chewing up some pulp, spitting it back out.
"Darkclan..." Daispaw muttered. Winterclan and Darkclan had been rivals. As all of the other clans are, but this was different. They hated each other. "I'm a medicine cat apprentice. But- I have a question."
"Ask away, little ki- apprentice." Emberwhisker meows. She caught a hint of sadness coming from Daisypaw when she called her a kit. Emberwhisker mutters, "Sorry."
"It's fine," She began, "But why do you have two medicine cats? You and the other medicine cat both have apprentices."
"Well," Emberwhisker meows, " Our clan is big enough already, and Aquapool and I were both up for the responsibility. Now, we both have apprentices."

~ Two moons later ~

Willowpaw and Smallpaw had gone to get some herbs. Willowpaw leaped on Smallpaw, laughing at him for picking up the wrong herbs. She licked his ear, touching his nose. "Oh, Smallpaw!" Willowpaw meowed.
     Smallpaw looks up at her, "Heh... I love you, Willowpaw."
    Willowpaw looks a him, stepping away slightly. "I-I love you too... But we're going to be medicine cats."
    "Then I'll be a warrior so that we can be together!"
   "That won't help. I'll still be a medicine cat."
    Willowpaw touches noses with Smallpaw before parting ways. When they arrive back at the den, Emberwhisker and Aquapool watch over them. "Willowpaw, I've seen and monitored that you know what to do in medicine cat situations." Aquapool meows to her apprentice, "You'll travel to Moonstone to get your medicine cat  name."
    "But I've only been an apprentice for three moons." Willowpaw admits.
    "Smallpaw, I see that you know your herbs. You'll travel to Moonstone." Emberwhisker announces. Smallpaw was about to argue, but was stopped by his mentor. "You'll go on half-moon. I'm sure Rosewing and Cloudfur will assist you."
     "B-But-"
   "No. You'll travel tonight. May Starclan guide you." Emberwhisker and Aquapool dip their heads and turn to Jaggedteeth.
     
     "Rosewing." Willowpaw mews, looking at Smallpaw's mother. "You're to come with us to moonstone. We're going to be medicine cats!"
    "Congratulations. But- If it's okay, I'd like to bring your siblings. At least Meadowpaw and Pinepaw." Meadowpaw pads over to her mother, Pinepaw by her side. "Yes?" The two apprentices ask. "Listen and I'll tell you."
    Rosewing explains about the journey to Moonstone. The two apprentices' faces light up as they touched noses with their brother and Willowpaw.
    
      Meadowpaw leads Cloudfur out of the gorse tunnel. She pads out into the small clearing and sniffs for any prey. Meadowpaw flings herself at a juicy vole and buries it for later. Pinepaw does the same with his mouse.
      "Mothermouth is meant to be a scary place." Cloudfur teased. Rosewing nudges him playfully before padding farther into the forest. Willowpaw and Smallpaw go side by side. The noises of birds chirping kept stirring in their heads. The two go faster until they come to a complete stop.
    "Is everyone ready to cross the river?" Cloudfur asks. Rosewing and her kits nod, and so does Rosewing. Cloudfur leaps onto a branch. It was pretty sturdy so he leaped onto a small rock, then going to the other side. Rosewing stands behind, letting Pinepaw and Meadowpaw go first.
     Willowpaw braces herself and claws the branch, biting into it. She got to the very top and felt it start to break. "Smallpaw!" Willowpaw shrieks, "Help me! Anyone!"
    Smallpaw tries leaping onto the branch, but winds up biting into Willowpaw's tail. It started to bleed as he bit into it more. He clawed the branch, making it creak more. Pinepaw leaps in from the other side and gets Willowpaw safely. Meadowpaw grabs Smallpaw by the scruff as Rosewing pads across.
      "Let's head to mothermouth and get this over with." Cloudfur murmured, padding away. After being calmed down, the two apprentices reach mothernouth.
   
    "Goodbye for now." Willowpaw smiles. "We're coming out new cats!" Smallpaw mews. Rosewing licks her son's ear and the two go down to the moonstone.
     Smallpaw and Willowpaw sat down next to each other. They slowly fell asleep.

    ~ Willowpaw's dream ~
        
       Willowpaw is suddenly in a dark room. Blue lights come to her slowly. "Be careful what you wish for. Wish for love, wish for blood. Wish for life, wish for death. Wishing is the end of you."
    Willowpaw watches as a warrior claws into a mountain, blood dripping from he-his paws. A white body appears, dead. The cat walking up looked to be Smallpaw. How could this happen? Willowpaw suddenly got swiped, before a vision appears.
     "Willowpaw. Do not wish. I- as your brother, do not allow you. It will be the death of you. With love comes blood, with life comes death. Be careful what you wish for." The blue-white-light-grey kit mews. "I am of Starclan."
   "St-Starclan? But I have no brothers in Starclan." Willowpaw says.
   "Like Smallpaw, you have had a sibling who has died. I am Ashkit. I died when your mother was giving birth to you/kitting."
    Suddenly, everything went back to normal. "No! Don't go! Come back! I want to see you!"
   Another shadow appeared, "Mother!"
    "I am yours mother, you have that. But from this half moon forward. You'll be known as Willowfang.

Smallpaw's dream
  
     "Do not love. Love has trust, truth has lies. Anger comes death. Trust, lies, and Anger all come with love." A shadow meows.
    "Who are you?"
   "I'm your sister. Hollykit. I died when I came out of your mother. I was born at the exact same time as Smallkit."
   "Hollykit..."
  "Smallpaw, you'll have kits someday. But there will be anger."
    " From who?"
   Ignoring his question, Hollykit went on. "From this half moon forward: you will be known as Smalltail."

     Smalltail's eyes burst open at almost the exact same time as Willowfang. Willowfang purrs, resting against his flank.
    
      A sickening feeling was in Willowfang's stomach in the morning. "Whitefang." She smiles. "Smalltail."
      They had already spoke at the crack of noon, but they couldn't resist speaking anymore.
