Scrawnypaw looked at the exit of camp as Leapstar left, with Ashpaw and Caramel, a She-cat that showed up a few months earlier. He walked to her to say farewell. Now that Sandheart's kits were born, Darkit, Snakekit, and Brindlekit, Leapstar decided to go back to our home to tell the other clans that we had a new home. Aloeberry stood there nervously, tail curled with Almondfoot, her former mentor. "So who is going to train Scrawnypaw?" Brightpaw asked. "Well, since Ashpaw is on the mission with them I can help mentor him." Adderclaw replied. Aloeberry looked thoughtful, wondering if she should tell them her and Scrawnypaw's secret.



"HELP!! Aloeberry!!" Ashpaw screamed running through the entrance-exit. She scrambled out of her den, it had been two weeks since Leapstar, Caramel, and Ashpaw left. "What is it?" She said muffled, with the last of the mallow leaves she was sorting. "L-L-Leapstar!!" He said as Caramel dragged a bloody light spotted tabby with her. Her eyes were clouded and urgent. Aloeberry let out a small gasp as she recognized Leapstar. "What happened!?" She said as she treated her leader. "She was ran over by a monster." Caramel cried, because she thought it was her fault. "I was already on the other side, and I forgot she was older and slower that me, she followed and a monster drove right pass. Ashpaw was the bravest..."

Scrawnypaw shook his head, fast but sadly. He wished to be Aloeberry's apprentice, but not for Leapstar to die! "All cats old enough to understand loyalty to the clan gather beneath the clan rock!" Adderstar's voice sang. "Today we mourn the death of our leader, she was on her eight life, but her wounds so fatal she lost two lives. So today we must not only mourn, but celebrate. Two apprentices have earned their warrior name! I, Adderstar, leader of Shadowclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Ashpaw and Brightpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" "I Do." Said Ashpaw and Brightpaw. Adderstar continued "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you apprentices your warrior name. Ashpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Ashleap. StarClan honors your bravery and determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Shadowclan. Brightpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Brightspots, Starclan honors your cleverness and diligence. We welcome you as a full warrior of Shadowclan!" "Ashleap! Brightspots! Ashleap! Brightspots!" The small clan chanted. "Before we continue, I have an announcement! Shouted Aloeberry.
