Prologue:

He was walking towards the sea. Oh it was a beautiful site. His best friend Fernkit was beside him. She was kind to him so he was kind to her. She was the only kit he got along with. He was shy around every one but her. He looked at her. "Its a beautiful site isn’t It." he mewed to her. He looked out onto the ocean. There was a sunset rite before there eyes. "Yes it is" She replied. His foster mother was close behind him so he looked at her and smiled. 'My mom must be watching from starclan.' he thought. A tear came down his eye. He did not let it show though.

The ocean was what Seaclan lived by. There was a rock by the Sea. Graystar told the clan things there. In every den you could see the sea. Especially at the leaders den. Fish were plentiful. The sea kept Seaclan alive. He had always heard Fernkit say how she loved the sea so much.

Fernkit was popular all around the camp. Every cat knew her. He was not so popular. No one cared about him. Only his mom and Fernkit cared. It would no big deal if he joined Starclan. He winced at the thought of dieing. Leaving behind Fernkit. Every one did not like him. Even his litter mate Seakit. Seakit was a bratty tom that got what he wanted.

Seakit told him to back off of Fernkit. I wondered what he meant. We were young when he said that. I realized now what he meant. He had a crush on her. A big one to. Every time Seakit saw Nightkit with Fernkit, Seakit would scold him when Fernkit was gone. Not so much anymore.

The other kits ignored him. Had nothing to do with him. Only time they talked to him was when they were told to. They made fun of him sometimes too. When Fernkit was not around. If she was around she would tell them to stop.

He grunted as he saw Seakit running towards them. Fernkit noticed too and started to talk with him. Seakit smirked at him. As usual he took her back to camp. Away from him. Fernkit did not look back just kept walking. Their mom Goldenheart waved her tail at Nightkit gesturing him to come and sit with her. He looked away.

He looked at the sea one last time. The sun was gone. Fernkit was his sun. She left and so did the sun. He went to his mom. “How was it in your view?” She asked.

“Fine.” He mewed. “Nothing special.” He left his mom and went to camp. Today was a nice day until Seakit ruined it. He sat in the middle of the camp and stared at the sea. The sea kept his day’s joyful. He wondered how the other clans could handle being so far away from it.

The elders’ barley got to see it. When he was an elder what was he going to do? He went into the Nursery and went to sleep. Alone in the moss. His mom let him have his space so he slept not far away but not close to her. Away from the other kits too.

He had strange dreams from cats he did not know of. They never said anything. Just watched him do things like hunt. He had visions to sometimes. Once he saw himself with Fernkit. Yet they were not kits but apprentices. He was he heard her say Nightpaw. But for some reason he called her Fernkit. He had wondered why. He still does not know. It still puzzles him.

He saw his father sometimes too. They told him it was his father Nighthawk. He looked like his father. Nothing at all like his mother though. She had a silver blue pelt. Nighthawk had a pure black pelt. He had told no one about his visions. No one would listen.

Tonight he had another vision. He was in the middle of the camp looking out at the Sea. He could not control his vision. It just happened. He was the puppet. He was sitting alone. One other cat was there. It was not Fernkit though the cat who he wanted to become an apprentice with. It was Seakit his littermate. He awoke. He went out side frustrated. He ran down to the sea and cried. If this was his future he did not want that day to come. Why had the mysterious cats show him this. Why?

He watched the sun rise. “What are you doing out here all alone?” Someone asked. He turned around it was Fernkit.

“Oh I had a dream. That’s all. It made me mad so I came down here to get away from it all.” He mewed

“Will you tell me what it was about?” She asked.

He bent his head down. “Sorry” He mewed. “I cant.”

“That’s ok.” She giggled. “You know what my mom told me? She said we are going to be apprentices soon. We are now old enough.”

He smiled. They talked some more. She had a lot to tell him. She did this every full moon. He looked at the sky. It was a full moon. She would tell him what had happened during the past month. Every detail. He listened closely. Because at the end she would ask him questions he would have to answer. It was a game she made up for him. She knew he was not best with other cats. They laughed and played around for what seemed like forever. Then they heard their mothers calling them. They reluctantly went to them.

“ You to get to become apprenticed today!” His mom mewed happily. A tear came down his eye. This was the day Fernkit would get hurt. His tear was not of joy. But of sadness. His mom thought is was a tear of joy. She was wrong.

Chapter 1

Today was a special but upsetting day for Nightkit. Today was the day of the apprentice ceremony. The one were Fernkit the only cat who cared for him would not be apprenticed with him. Tears had come down his eyes. He assumed she might cry when it happened. She is strong but this had gone to far. He knew she can’t die. He was an apprentice and she was still a kit in a vision.

Who would be his mentor? Why is Fernkit not going to be an apprentice? He was asking himself questions he could not answer. Their apprentice ceremony was at moon high. A whole day of worries he thought. Just what I needed. Later that day he would find out those questions he asked him self.

Fernkit and Nightkit went down to the sea. They sat on a ledge. The day was a gorgeous. They did not talk at all just stared out into the large sea. An hour went by and they started to talk. “You know. This is our last day of being kits.” She mewed. “I’m sort of scared.”

“Me too.” He mewed. She looked at him. They talked more. “ To night we cant talk remember that Fernkit.”

“ I know I’m not stupid.” She retorted. He flattened his ears. He had not meant to offend her. She smiled. “Stupid fur ball.” She mewed playfully. She got up to swat him. But before she could her paw slipped. She fell.

Down, down, down she went. He heard her scream. He yowled so loud it hurt his own ears. He tried to save her. He could not. She plunged into the water. He could hear his clan mate rushing over to see what happened. He or Fernkit could not wait that long. He jumped in after her. To save her. Not to be called a hero but to save her.

The icy cold water almost paralyzed her. To his surprise he could swim quite well. He got dragged under water. He opened his eyes. It stung but he held on. He saw her she was sinking. He swam over to her. Grabbed her by the scruff and swam upwards. It was no use. He could not hold her weight as wel as his wet fur. He managed to bring her up for air. They both got a big gasp of breath but got dragged down once again. He was going to die he thought. He heard I cats voice inside his head. ‘No you wont Nightkit. Believe in your self.’ He heard it and got a surge of strength. He heard a splash of water. Another cat came into the water to save them bother. He felt weight being brought off him. He saw a cat grab Fernkit. Then another splash. Then he felt him being brought upwards.

He was being saved at last. He was out of the water and gasping for air. He was carried all the way to a warm den he heard voices then blacked out. The last thing he heard was “ Nightkit please don’t leave me.” It was Fernkit.

He awoke. He was not in the den though he was some were new. He had been here before though. With the strange cats. “I am Bramblestar and this is Squirrelflight and Leafpool. We have come to greet you. We are from Starclan. We were from Thunderclan before the place in witch we lived changed and the clan names changed. I am an old leader. Squirrelflight my mate and Leafpool my old medicine cat. You have died Nightkit but we grant you another life. The reason is your time is not up on earth with your clan. You will be Ok and become an apprentice but your friend will not yet. She will soon though.”

Squirrelflight and Leafpool spoke at the same time. “ Do not cry or be in despair. Fernkit will be an apprentice with you and great things will happen. Be strong Young one.” He woke up slowly. He did not open his eyes though. He was too weak. He heard cat around him. Voices they were soft. All accept one Seakit. Being mean as all ways.

He opened his eyes. Fernkit was asleep beside him. She woke up too. She shrieked in delight. “He’s up, he is up. Come here Runningwave he is awake.” Runningwave came into sight.

“We were sure you were dead Nightkit.” She mewed softly than yowled in delight. Your mother will be so happy. And Fernkit you have no reason to be crying still.”

“Those were tears of sadness. These are tears of joy” she mewed. Runningwave ran out of the den telling ever one to get up. Grayfrost came in and picked him up. Thinking he was dead still. He brought him out and set him down. Nightkit got up.

“Ahhh!” He mewed. “You’re alive.”

“Yes” Runningwave mewed. “It’s a miracle.” She mewed. His mother came running over. She covered him in licks. “You’re alive.” She sighed.

Graystar came over. “Since you are so weak to move or get up we shall have your ceremony now.”

Graystar did the apprentice ceremony talking about how he had saved Fernkit. Every cheered. “The mentor of this amazing cat will be Brambletail.” Graystar mewed. He looked at Fernkit. “Fernkit deserves a ceremony to.” Nightkit rasped.

Graystar looked uncertain. Than mewed “As you wish.” He did a ceremony for Fernkit too. “They are both know as Fernpaw and Nightpaw!” Every one cheered for them both.

Nightpaw finally felt wanted in Seaclan. Even Seakit was nice to him. Squirrelclaw was Fernpaw’s mentor. They went out training together a lot since their mentors were mates. The day had finally come when Nightpaw was a true member of Seaclan.

Chapter 2

It was a cloudy gloomy day. Nothing bad had happened though. Nightpaw was not used to being talked to so much. Cats were asking what he did to save Fernpaw. Brambletail and Squirrelclaw went out to train them a lot. Together always it seemed. The day was more windy than usual. Fernpaw was constantly making fun of him when his fur got messed up.

Ever since the fall Fernpaw had been shaky. Every one was bugging her about it. Quite a few times he was trying to get cats out of her fur. She got angry easily at other cats. Nightpaw still did not get along with cats but they did not ignore him anymore. Seakit still wanted Fernpaw for him self. Seakit and the other kits were upset they were not apprenticed yet. Seakit was older than him and would not let him forget it.

Brambletail walked up to him. “I heard a yowl from the clearing. Must be Lionpaw’s ceremony.” He waved his brown tail gesturing him to come. Nightpaw followed. “The time has come to make another warrior.” He heard Graystar mew.

“Lionpaw please come forward.” Lionpaw came forward. Lionspaw’s bright pelt shone even though it was not sunny out. Jadepaw was being made a warrior too. Their pelts waved in the wind. Both pelts groomed carefully. “Lionpaw, from this day forward you will be know as Lionclaw.” Lionclaw dipped his head in pride.

“Jadepaw from now on you will be known as Jadeheart.” Graystar mewed. Jadeheart sat beside Lionclaw and sat with her chest puffed outward. The clan cheered for them both. They were well known. Every one knew one day they would be mates. Lionclaw is usually mean to people. All accept one special cat. He had a soft spot for Jadeheart.

Everyone went up to congratulate them. He noticed Fernpaw go up. He remembered they were sisters. Jadeheart and Fernpaw best sisters ever. Fernpaw came to sit with him but before she could Seakit bounced up to her.

“Hey guess what Fernpaw I’m being made an apprentice now.” He bragged. She smiled awkwardly at him. “Also.” Graystar continued. We have a kit ready to be an apprentice. Seakit please come forward.

Nightpaw ignored the whole thing. Once it was done he asked Fernpaw if she wanted to go by the sea and look at the sunset. She looked at him nervously.

“Away from the edge.” He told her. She smiled. They went over to the water. Seapaw followed. Annoyed Fernpaw shooed him away. That had surprised him. Fernpaw must have gotten sick of Seapaw being around so much.

‘Took her long enough.’ He thought. He had another dream that night. Fernpaw was in it. They were training. Brambletail sent them off on a mission. Alone. It was hunting. Brambletail watched him and Squirrelclaw watched Fernpaw. He was doing quite well. He caught a water vole it cried out. Then he heard a screech. It came from were Fernpaw was hunting he raced over. He woke up to Brambletail prodding at his side.

‘Training.’ He thought and he was almost sure they were doing what he was doing in his sleep. The sun was bright today. The wind had died down too. The clearing was full with cats by now. He had slept past dawn that was for sure. Almost every cat was outside sharing tongues.

Nightpaw and Fernpaw went out of camp while waiting for their mentors. The day was better than most. No wind and it were crisp out. It was also leafbare this kind of day was rare in leafbare. Their mentors finally came out. They told them what to do. And set off. Fernpaw went near the thunder path and Nightpaw had to go closer to the sea.

He stayed alert the whole time. He caught a water vole and … he braced him self for it. A screech came and he ran in Fernpaw’s direction. To his dismay he saw her on the ground. A Deathclan warrior was on top of her. He yowled

“You get off her you creep.” He yowled. A warrior, picking on an apprentice. That was horrible. He was twice her size. “Pick on someone your own size he hissed.

“Ok.” he retorted. The warrior ran his way. He braced him self for a fight when the cat went by him. He looked and saw Squirrelclaw fighting him. Another two cats came into his view. One a Deathclan warrior. And the other was Brambletail. He sighed as another cat came into the picture. An apprentice. This was his fight. He ran to the cat. It was a good thing he learned how to fight already. The fight went on. We cased them out. Nightpaw was injured. Fernpaw was not thank goodness.

They went back to camp. He went to Runningwave’s den. There was Runningwave sorting her herbs. “Oh.” She mewed “what happened?” she asked. Brambletail explained. She healed him. He could train still but he had to be careful. Seapaw was upset when he heard. He wished he had been there to scare of those big Deathclan warriors.

He would have made them laugh at his puny size. Seapaw was smaller than most cats his age. Nightpaw went to sleep. Seapaw on one side and Fernpaw on the other. He was more popular now. He hated it. He did not know how Fernpaw could handle it. Tonight he had not special dream from Starclan the cats that saved him. He woke to Fernpaw muttering a name. His name. He poked her ten times and she finally woke up. “Come on you lazy furball you’re the last one up.” He teased. She got up at once. They went out into the clearing it was a beautiful warm but windy day.

Then they heard a screech from the medicine cat’s den. It was Squirrelclaw. She was yowling about something. “What is she howling at?” Fernpaw asked. “I don not know.” He mewed.

Chapter 3

Squirrelclaw pranced out of Runningwave’s den. She was as happy as could be. The sun was out and the wind was cool but tamed. The ferns around the camp were blowing slightly. Nothing could seem to go wrong. Fernpaw looked at Nightpaw. He was finally apart of the clan. He was fitting in fine but she noticed that he did not like all the attention. ‘He never has gotten along with other cat.’ She thought.

“I’m having kits.’ Squirrelclaw exclaimed. Brambletail walked out behind her. And on his face was a smile. Fernpaw realized something. Her mentor was having kits. Her training would be delayed. She had a worried look on her face and Nightpaw must have noticed.

“What’s wrong?” He had asked. But he must have read her mind. “You are thinking about your training delay aren’t you?” He asked. She looked at him. That was odd how he knew what she was thinking about.

“Yes. If this does delay it we wont become warriors together like we promised.” She looked at her ginger colored paws. Nightpaw looked at her with his eyes she uses a lot when he’s sad or upset. Fernpaw leaned up against him then went to go congratulate her mentor. Nightpaw had follower her. He went up to his mentor instead because his mentor was a mate with Fernpaw’s mentor. Seapaw just sat over there chest puffed out. Nightpaw smirked. ‘Show off.’ He thought but did.

Brambletail looked at the two apprentices as they walked up to him. “How are you to?” He asked them. “Good.” Fernpaw mewed. Dipping her head in respect she kept moving towards her mentor. Nightpaw stayed were he was.

“Um, Brambletail I have a small question to ask you of.” Nightpaw mewed looking at his black paws. “Sure ask away.” He mewed.

“Well I know you are happy and all about Squirrelclaw having kits and all but what about Fernpaw she will have no mentor.” He mewed.

“Yes I realized that and when I found out and I talked to Graystar and she said that I could take over her training until Squirrelclaw can Train her once again.” He mewed. He sounded well prepared for the question.

Nightpaw satisfied went off into the green lust forest. He found Jadeheart hunting she must have sneaked off too. He sneaked by her trying not to disturb her. “You know you have to keep your butt down not straight upward.” Some cat mewed. He jumped.

He turned to see who it was. It was the beautiful tortoiseshell she cat. Her brown wide eyes staring at him. “Sorry.” he mewed. “Why should you be sorry?” She asked. “I’m just helping you.” She mewed. He dipped his head in embarrassment and ran off.

He smelt a water vole. The wind was blowing the way he wanted it to. ‘Perfect.’ he thought. The vole would not be able to smell him. He crouched taking the advice Jadeheart the new warrior had given him. He pounced on it and killed it with one final blow. Its sharp high-pitched squeak would have told every prey in the area that a cat was around.

He headed in the opposite direction of camp and caught some more prey before heading back to camp. He caught a fare amount. ‘Could have done better.’ He thought to him self.

He got back to camp and Fernpaw raced up to him. The camp was in an uproar. Every one as looking for some one. “Seapaw has gone missing.” she mewed worriedly.

“Great what is he up to now.” He mewed so only Fernpaw could hear him. “Tell every one I’m going out to find him.” He dropped they pile of prey into fresh kill pile and set out.

He raced out of camp. Before he was out of hearing range he heard Seaheart yowl that Clawkit was gone too. He raced out remembering what Clawkit looked like. He found a trace of both of them. And with them were three foxes. No four foxes. The sent was almost fresh. ‘They must be dead by now.’ He thought. ‘Four foxes are the worst a kit and apprentice can run into.

He scented them again. This time he scented blood along with it. One of the two cats had died and been dragged along the ground. He could not tell witch cat it was though. He ran and saw the dead cat. Un touched, it was a horrible site. He looked away horrified. ‘It was poor, poor.’ he could not finish his sentence because he fainted.
