Small'hiss stretched as she woke early again, shivering. Leafbare had hit now, and the camp and ground were layered in snow. She stared down at the small kits curled at her stomach, now having seen her as a mother, even though Dew'tail fed them. The queen had her own kits just a few sunrises ago, so Lavender'kit and Cream'kit had realized Small'hiss was in fact their adoptive mother. Small'hiss suddenly purred madly as she remembered her kits were becoming apprentices today. She slowly sat up, licking her kits heads, the two slowly stirring. "Cream'kit, Lavender'kit, wake up.." She cooed, the soon-to-be-apprentices lifting their heads and purring at their mother. "Come on, today's special for you two. You gotta be up." Small'hiss purred, and the two sisters shot up to their paws, dashing out of the nursery. Small'hiss was close on their heels, watching as they bounded through the high snow that went to their shoulders, playing around. Small'hiss purred in amusement, before a call from Copper'star drawed her attention over. Lavender'kit and Cream'kit quickly dashed over, sitting down in the snow, struggling to keep their heads above it. Small'hiss easily padded over, the snow only going to the middle of her leg. Quickly the rest of the cats surrounded the rock, and Copper'star brightly smiled. "We have many announcements today. First of all..." She made eye contact with Small'hiss. "Lavender'kit and Cream'kit are ready to become apprentices." She yowled. The clan cheered, and Small'hiss glanced down to see Lavender'kit and Cream'kit with bright smiles on their faces, the two padding forward. "Lavender'kit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed." The leader called, watching the lilac colored kit bounce with excitement. "From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Lavender'paw. Your mentor will be Smoke'flower. I hope Smoke'flower will pass down all she knows on to you." The warrior stepped forward as her name was called, glancing down at Lavender'paw with a warm smile before the leaders voice drawed her attention again. "Smoke'flower, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from your former mentor, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and brave. You will be the mentor of Lavender'paw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her." Smoke'flower dipped her head, and leaned over to Lavender'paw. The two booped noses, listening to the clan chant the new name. Small'hiss watched with a smile, glad to watch her children grow. Lavender'paw followed her new mentor back to her spot, and Cream'kit was left sitting there. Copper'star looked down at Cream'kit, before calling out. "Cream'kit, you have also reached the age of six moons, and are ready to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Cream'paw. Your mentor will be Torn'foot. I hope Torn'foot will pass down all she knows on to you." The medicine cat stepped forward, and Cream'paw's eyes lit up in pride. "Torn'foot, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from your former mentor, and you have shown yourself to be hard-working and brave. You will be the mentor of Cream'paw, and I expect you to pass all you know onto her." The medicine cat bowed her head, then stepped over to her new apprentice. The two touched noses, and they followed each other into the crowd once more. "Small'hiss." The leader called, attracting the shecats attention. "Before you took on the duty of caring for Lavender'paw and Cream'paw, you were our faithful deputy. Now that the two have become apprentices, you may take your role back." Small'hiss dipped her head and hopped onto the deputy rock, looking around at the clan. "One last thing!" Copper'star mewed. "Bat'leap, step forward." She called into the crowd. The surprised rouge hesitantly walked forward, eyes bright. "I, Copper'star, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this rouge. She may not be related to a clan at all, but she has learned and trained for the warrior code like any good apprentice, and I accept them into the clan with open paws, and commend them as a warrior in their turn. Bat'leap, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Bat'leap purred, licking her matted chest quickly before replying. "I do." Copper'star smiled. "Then by the powers of starclan, I give you a warrior name. You will still be known as Bat'leap, but now you will be known as a warrior of Thunderclan, not some rouge who can't get by." The clan cheered Bat'leap's name, and the new warrior smiled brightly. "Meeting dismissed!" Copper'star yowled, shaking her snow-covered pelt. The cats dispersed, Smoke'flower, Torn'foot, Lavender'paw and Cream'paw sitting with them. Torn'foot and Cream'paw were talking about herbs as they trotted towards Torn'foot's den, while Smoke'flower and Lavender'paw were deciding for training tomorrow. Small'hiss purred, before glancing over to Bat'leap, who was sitting crowded by cats, congratulating her for her acceptance into the clan. Small'hiss trotted to the ragged she, and once the crowd died out, she finally could talk to her. "Welcome to the clan, Bat'leap." Small'hiss purred, Bat'leap bowing her head. "Would you like to eat with me?" She offered, Bat'leap lifting her head again in surprise, before nodding. "It would be an honor. After you offered me deputy position while you cared for Lavender'paw and Cream'paw." She mewed. Small'hiss nodded then stood and waved her tail. The new warrior followed her to the prey pile, and they grabbed some. Small'hiss grabbed a stringy mouse, and Bat'leap grabbed a blackbird. The two padded over to the warrior den, crouching down near the brambles as they ate. After their food, they cleaned eachothers pelts and murmered, sharing tounges like any cats would.

Small'hiss woke up in the warriors den fairly early, her flank pressed with Bat'leap's flank. She stretched, then carefully got up, not to disturb the other she, and dashed out of the den and out of camp. She padded through her territory off to the twoleg place, smelling the same kittypet she that she had seen a few sunrises ago. She had to admit, she wanted to see the she again. She climbed up a tree and looked out into the garden on a branch. She laid down, waiting for the sound of pawsteps and the sound of a flap flying open. She hoped to not be in the cold so long, since already the cold of leafbare had hit past her fluffy pelt and to her skin. She was just ready to stand up before she heard the door flap open, hitting the back of the door as the kittypet glanced around, prancing in the snow. Small'hiss purred and leaned on the edge of the branch. "Hey!" She softly mewed, and the kittypet brought her attention to the warrior. She hissed sternly, her eyes slits as she gazed over. Small'hiss flattened her ears, looking at the kittypet softly. "Its okay... I'm nice." She mewed. The kittypet widened her pupils, making them nice ovals as she leaped onto the fence, beckoning the warrior over with her tail. Small'hiss jumped over, landing on the slippery fence. She struggled a few times before sitting next to the other she. "Who are ya? I'm Jess." The kittypet asked calmly, her black fur sticking out from the snow on the ground. "Small'hiss." The warrior responded, purring. "That's a funny name." Jess murmered. "Well, it's a clan name, so I guess it would sound weird." Small'hiss shrugged. Jess looked confused, her amber pools sparkling with curiosity. The two shecats talked until sun-high, talking about what a clan was. Once Small'hiss noticed it was sunhigh she grunted. "I gotta get back to my clan, I've been gone for a while." Jess nodded, then waved her tail as Small'hiss jumped down onto the ground. The warrior started to pad away before Jess called out. "Hey!" She yelped. Small'hiss turned around, only a few pawsteps away at this point. Jess was smiling at her, hope in her eyes. "See you tomorrow? You seem nice now that I've get to known you." Jess asked. Small'hiss tilted her head, then nodded with a smile. The two sat in silence, staring at eachother with a smile before Small'hiss bounded into the forest, purring. She caught some prey on her way back, then headed into the camp. Luckily the scent of the forest and prey masked the kittypet scent. She padded to her camp, then once inside she placed the prey she caught in the pile. Immediately, Minnow'streak ran up to her and hissed. "Where were you, Small'hiss?" She growled in return, motioning to the prey pile. "Catching prey, mousebrain. And don't you dare speak to your deputy like that." Minnow'streak growled, then padded off, scoffing. Small'hiss shook her fluffy pelt, then to remove all scents of the kittypet, started to wash. She purred, remembering the conversation with the kittypet. She finished up her washing and called outside of the warrior den, deciding to form a patrol. A few warriors padded out and she hummed. "Who wants to come on a border patrol with me?" She asked. Bat'leap quickly skipped to her side and pressed her nose to her flank respectfully. Small'hiss nodded, then looked at the other warriors. They all shook their heads, but Smoke'flower spoke up. "You can take Lavender'paw with you, if you wish." Small'hiss nodded. "Alright." She then padded off to the apprentice den, Bat'leap following her. "Lavender'paw." She called softly, the apprentice skipping out as Breeze'paw and Night'paw watched. "Do you want to come along on a border patrol?" She asked her kit, who brightly smiled and nodded frantically. Small'hiss purred and nodded, then the three set off. They patrolled around the border, talking before Lavender'paw stopped dead in her tracks. The two warriors looked back at her and she sniffed the air. "Guys, smell. Somethings off." She murmered. Bat'leap and Small'hiss sniffed the air, the rotten stench of rogue filling their scent glands. Small'hiss hissed and followed after the very fresh scent, Bat'leap and Lavender'paw following on her heels. The Thunderclan patrol was led to an abandoned badger den, that was marked harshly with the scent of rogue. Bat'leap growled, before she spun around and leaped into the shadows. A yowl was heard, drawing Lavender'paw and Small'hiss to look over. Bat'leap rolled out of the bushes, a younger tom pinned under her. He had brown fur a few shades lighter than Bat'leap's, which had some white marks. He looked scared with the other warriors around him, weakly struggling in Bat'leap's grip. She kept a death grip on the younger tom, hissing coldly. A darker ball of fur flew out from the shadowed bushes, tackling Bat'leap and knocking her off of the small tom. Small'hiss snarled, and Lavender'paw quickly got back to holding down the brown, young tom. Small'hiss saw Bat'leap struggling on the ground with a massive black tom with many scars, both of them hissing and spitting at each other. Small'hiss ran over, biting down onto the larger tom's scruff and wripping him off of Bat'leap, roughly slamming his face into the snow. The tom underneath her screeched and writhed in place, trying to escape. Bat'leap helped Small'hiss hold him down, causing him to hiss and spit at the two. He let out a call of some sort, and hesitantly a brown she-cat emerged from the shadows. She had fear in her eyes, obviously not willing to fight. She looked like a peacemaker. Small'hiss sternly stared at her, and she murmered. "Great Starclan, another fight you two?" The tom being pinned by Lavender'paw squeaked. "It only happened because the scarred she-cat took me from our cover, Ri tried to protect me." The brown she-cat shook her head and glanced to the black tom, padding over to Small'hiss and Bat'leap slowly. She bowed her head in respect, softly nudging her head to the large tom. The warriors stepped off him, and as he sat up the brown rogue whapped him over the head with her paw. He hissed and growled, ears flicking as he glared at her. "RiDie. You need to stop attacking random cats. You know we shouldn't even be here, it's on their territory." She growled, the black tom, who was now revealed to be RiDie, simply stalked off toward the abandoned badger den. The rogue she-cat watched him before turning to Small'hiss and Bat'leap. "Sorry for him. He can be aggressive and annoying alot.. I'm Riah, that was RiDie and-" She glanced to Lavender'paw and the unnamed apprentice, which she quickly let go of as she saw Riah glance over. "That's Damien." She murmered, looking back to the warriors. "I'm extremely sorry for being in your territory. I told RiDie to stay where he was, where we weren't on anyone's territory, but, being himself, he decided to head off." She groaned, tail flicking. Small'hiss nodded softly. "I'm Small'hiss, this is Bat'leap." She nudged the other she sitting next to her, then moved her nose to point st Lavender'paw making small conversation with Damien. "And that's Lavender'paw." Riah nodded, then turned to the abandoned den. "I'll convince RiDie to head back. So we don't get anymore attacks. There's a barn around here where we live, not too far away." She purred. Small'hiss nodded. "Maybe we'll see eachother again? It seems like Lavender'paw and Damien are already becoming close." She smirked, glancing to the two apprentices. They were playfully pawing each other, smiling. Riah purred loudly and nodded. "I'll tell RiDie to stay home, but if he is so adamant about coming, he'll stay in his own area. He's too aggressive to clan cats." Small'hiss nodded, then Riah made a call. Damien looked over then playfully and friendly nudged Lavender'paw, whispering their goodbyes as Damien rushed over. RiDie slowly emerged from the abandoned badger den, following after Riah and Damien. The three disappeared into the forest, and the warriors went back to camp without reporting anything to Copper'star. They went to their nests with a lot to think about, before they drifted to sleep for again another day.

~2545 Words~

(Heya- This is just a note for anyone who wants to know why RiDie, Riah and Damien vary from each other so much-
Is a thing called Character Development-
RiDie's going to be cold and aggressive at first, but then once Bat'leap (dep) actually starts trying to make conversation, and the two get close, he'll soften up more.
Riah is going to be purely kind and a peacemaker, but I'll make some sort of backstory for why and what it actually is.
Damien Is just a pure and shy boi because he's scared of being stuck in the middle of an aggressive tom and a peaceful shecat who he has to call his friends, potientally some sort of "family" while they travel. Then Lavender'paw comes around and they start becoming friends, and then warrior ceremonies happen and- yeah-

Aight well enjoy that.)
