Arcticstar climbed the Tall Root, her eyes shining. Her kits were to become apprentices! she was very proud.
"Let all Cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here for a Clan Meeting!!" she called, her voice lilting a beautiful melody. She felt her strength return after a while in the nursery, and she felt younger than ever. She saw golden Chirpkit climb excitedly out of the nursery, first of the litter. Next was Artistkit, her resilliance shining. She purred, watching them have their moments.
Chirpkit was excited! Who would her mentor be? She raced over to her sister, Artistkit. The two were very close, having an understanding of eachother. She couldn't be anywhere without the larger female kit.
"Are you excited?!" she asked, already knowing the answer. She could see through Artistkit' poker face even if other couldn't. What she saw under the calm exterior was an interior bursting with nervous excitement and many questions. But of course, Artistkit kept her cool.
"Absolutely. You would know that, sister." Artistkit said maturely, staring up at her leader mother, very proud she had such a brave, loyal cat to be her mom. And she was very proud of her dad, too. He was an excellent warrior.

Polarkit bounded up to both sisters proudly, smiling.
"I'm happy too." He said with a smile that showed more of a regal status than a young kit. His brother was trailing quickly after, his legs short and dwarf-like. It was some genetic disease, as it had been decided, that gave him a strange appearance. Normal body size, but a slightly larger than normal head, and short, stubby legs. But he didn't mind, and would try to train like a good apprentice. Dogkit smiled happily, his short tail twitching but saying nothing.
Coilsnake was thinking about all that had gone on in the past few moons was daunting. He thought about his past and current mates, his past and current kits, and even his past and current life. Little did he know it was about to all come crashing down on him. As he sat down, looking calmly up at his mate, someone burst into the camp that would change his life forever. He turned around at the sound of a cat approaching to see the familiar cream, grey, and white she-cat. His jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Coilsnake!" She called out in a panic. What was she doing here in ShadowClan? "Coilsnake!"

[[Please don't make Arctic and Coil breakup x.x]]
Arcticstar's attention was riverted to a hasty femora running through her camp, calng her mates name. She leaped down from ehr post and padded up slowly. "Coilsnake? Who's this?" She asked, her heart beating fast. She kew it-this was hat Kinkfur had been talking about. Wasn't it? Coilsnake had another mate? She was so confused!
[[Speaking of Kinkfur, her kits need to be made apprentices.]

Shallowkit padded out of the nursrey, his eyes cold as his mother followed him. Will I be made an apprentice at last? He wondered, looking at whatever was going on. He saw the tension in his leader and Coilsnake. Love issues. He thought at once. He sighed crossly. Didn't they have anything better to do? Their leader shouldn't even be allowed to take a mate! It was against the warrior code! But no. The code was just something to trample on these days. Allowing non-bloods to join the Clans, letting Medicine cats have kits... it was all just too insane. Shallowkit knew he was half-Clan, but he didn't really care. He would sooner follow the warrior code than cause all of this confusion and trouble. He sat down beside his mother and glared at the she-cat who had rushed into camp. Whatever she wanted, he wished she'd get it over with quick.

[[It is a part of the plot, I am sorry...]]
Coilsnake shook his head with a sigh, looking from one cat to another.
"Arcticstar, this is ... Icefire... I never meant it to be this way..." He looked away sadly. Icefire looked at Arcticstar but said nothing.
"Firestar knows. He banished me but kept my kits!" She cried in a horrified pain.

OOC: S'ok. Shallowkit's just kinda grumpy. That's not what I feel but he's just stating what he thinks. XD
BIC: Midnightsun sat watching the proceedings with calm grey-blue eyes. He wondered what was happening, but then he heard the exhange between Icefire and Coilsnake. That's barbaric! He thought, leaping to his paws.
"Firestar should have no right to do such a thing!" He meowed, outraged. His best friend, Mistrose, was in a similar situation, and he knew she would be devestated if she were forced to part with her kits. It's not right! he thought.

"They haven't even opened their eyes!" Icefire cried in horror, devastation clouding her pale blue gaze. "I need your help being them back." She continued with pleading eyes. Coilsnake nodded, looking for Arcticstar's permission.

[[*sigh and growl*]
Arcticstar searched her 'mates' face. I knew it. He is not loyal.."Well. If your intent to go save these kits, which I assume to be yours, than you can leave ShadowClan. Permanently." Her face was hollow and emotionless. She tightened her heart, making it cold and stony, and turned away from the commotion. He's not even going to see his kits be made apprentices. He doesn't care. She gazed down, despair clouding her eyes. "Will Polarkit, Artistkit, Dogkit, Chirpkit, Lillykit, Shallowkit, Destinykit, and Towerkit please step forward."
Artistkit's eyes blazed while staring at her father. "You monster!" she shrieked, not wanting to even look at him. She wrapped her tail around Chirpkit's shoulder, trying to make her sister move-Chirpkit stared disbelievingly at her dad, paws panted in the ground. "Lets become apprentices, Chirpkit." Artistkit said sourly. He didn't love me at all! I was lied to! she wanted to run up and bury her nose in her moms fur, to feel the comfort from her. But Arcticstar seemed lost.

Shallowkit looked at Chirpkit and Artistkit and felt a hollow pang in his heart. They must be suffering... He thought sadly. He padded up to them and placed his tail tip on Chirpkit's shoulder.
"It's not worth it. Come on. The Clan is waiting." He said gently.

[Chirpkit and Shallowkit-Future Mates? XD]
Chirpkit snapped out of it and walked slowly forward. She was shaking as she approached her mom, and sat down, tail wrapped around her paws. Her eyes were full of pain and defeat, and she wished the earth would swallow her up, right then and there.
The earth, of course, did not oblige to swallow her.

OOC: We'll see. It'd definately be cute  BIC: Shallowkit watched Chirpkit and then padded forward to join her. He sat down and looked up at Articstar's face. He'd waited so long for this moment, but a strange sense of nausea passed over him as he waited to see how his future would play out. Who would be his mentor? Would they dissaprove of his observations...? He sighed as he waited. That was all he could do. |

Artistkit sat next to Chirpkit, turning back to glare at Coilsnake. "your not my father anymore." She said tersely. She then turned back to her mom to ignore that betrayer forever.

"Arcticstar, I loved you more than any cat. I see now that you did not feel the same." Coilsnake said, betrayed and hurt. He looked around at the other warriors, but none offered help. Broken and hurt, he followed Icefire out of camp to be met by Kinkfur and her kits.
"No more pretending. I'm going home, with Hauntedshadow." She said defiantly as Towerkit and Destinykit stood proudly beside her. ShadowClan was a Clan where true love was not accepted, and they didn't want to stay there.
Dogkit looked broken as he remained silent. His world was all a lie. But the expression on Polarkit's face showed that he still trusted his father.

[[Tell me the idea, and Arctic can be persuaded....]]
"Wait." She said, eyes watering from tears. "I love you, too, Coilsnake. I'm just hurt. Will you explain to me, later? I'm very confused." She choked on tears, looking down shamefully.

[[You'll see...]]
Coilsnake was already gone, feeling battered and broken. He reached ThunderClan and braced himself...
Polarkit sighed as he shook his head.
"Get on with it..." He muttered unhappily.

[[will he come back?  ]] Arcticstar sighed, feeling shattered. " Chirpkit, Shallowkit, Artistkit, Lillykit, Dogkit, and Polarkit, do you promise to learn as much as you can within in your apprenticeship? To always believe in the warriorcode-" she broke off tightly, and started up again, "No matter what?" Artistkit nodded. "I do." she said. Chirpkit repeated the vow. |

Shallowkit straightened himself and stared up at Articstar, wishing she didn't look so sad. As I always thought, female leaders shouldn't have kits. It's just stupid.
"I do." He meowed confidently.

[[Tower and Destiny left with Coil, Kink, and Ice...]]
Dogkit nodded, speaking in his swet voice.
"I do!" He cries happily.
"As do I." Polarkit added with a loyal smile.

[[Whoops, sorry...]]
Arcticstar sighed. "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your apprentice names. Artistpaw, you'll be mentored by Acaciaskies. Chirppaw, your mentor is Cloudwalker, Polarpaw, your mentor is Skyjay, Dogpaw, your mentor is Midnightsun, Lillypaw, your mentor is _____, Shallowpaw, your mentor is ____. Meeting over."

Midnightsun padded up to Dogpaw and smiled at him slightly. He said nothing, only crouched down and touched noses with his new apprentice.
Shallowpaw sat still and waited for his mentor to approach. The tom did so, and the two touched noses. Stonesearch nodded and without even beckoning for Shallowpaw to follow he padded towards the warriors. Shallowpaw didn't even hesitate to pad after the tom. He was smart enough to know what to do.
