“Smallcreek their beautiful” he whispered as he licked her snowy white head.

“I know” she purred “Should we name them now?” she asked

“Yes” he purred. He looked down at one of the she-cat’s who’s fur was as white as snow. “Winterkit” he whispered

Smallcreek nodded and then pointed to the other she-cat who’s fur was russet red. “Redkit” she whispered back.

Rollingwater nodded and then looked at the brown tom that looked like Roillingwater

“Dustkit”

Smallcreek purred “I love them” she said with a smile

“I love them too” he smiled “and I love you” he said curling around his mate

Smallcreek purred and soon fell asleep.

Redkit was a beautiful russet she-cat with forest green eyes, and Winterkit is a snowy white she-cat with icy blue eyes that pierced your heart everytime you looked at her. “Yeah?” he asked silting his head sideways

“Want to go outside” asked Redkit “Wavepaw keeps asking about you!” she giggled softly

Dustkit was soon to become a apprentice along with his sisters, he is 5 moons old and he knew Wavepaw would becoming a warrior tomorrow. “Wavepaw!” called Dustkit who was looking around for the beautiful gray she-cat with icy blue eyes

“Yeah?” said a voice

Dustkit turned around and saw Wavepaw. “Hi Wavepaw” he blushed

“Hello Dustkit” she blushed also “how are you?” she asked again

“Great!” he purred “What do you think your warrior name is going to be?” he asked

Wavepaw shrugged “I dont know” she said

“Probably Wavesplash” he purred “It suits you” he purred “I bet it does” she purred “And I bet your warrior name will be Dustnight” she giggled.

Dustkit blushed and then looked at his paws “Wavepaw” he said with a smile “may i tell you something?” he asked

“Sure!” she purred

“I-” Dustkit was interrupted by Crabstar

“Let all cat’s old enough to to swim join me under Highledge for a clan meeting” called the leader

Wavepaw purred and headed over to Hightledge. “come on Dustkit” purred Wavepaw.

Dustkit purred and ran after her

“We have two new warrior’s among us” smiled Crabstar “Wavepaw and Swimmingpaw are coming full warriors, they passed there warrior assignment and will become warriors today” he smiled “Wavepaw and Swimmingpaw do you uphold the warrior code with the cost of your life?” he asked

“I do” said Wavepaw

“I do” said Swimmingpaw

“Then I give you your warrior names, Swimmingpaw from this day forward you will be known as Swimmingfish, serve your clan well” he smiled “Wavepaw from this momment you will be known as Wavesplash and I honor you as a full warrior of Riverclan” he purred down at his daughter and son.

“Swimmingfish!”

“Wavesplash!”

“Swimmingfish!”

“Wavesplash”

Dustkit cheered the loudest for Wavesplash and he’s green eyes sparkled at Wavesplash, Wavesplash purred and looked down at Dustkit

“We also have three new apprentices” he said “Dustkit, Redkit and Winterkit have reached there 6 moons” he purred “Dustkit, Redkit, and Winterkit from this day forward until you reseve your warrior name you will be known as Dustpaw, Redpaw and Winterpaw!” he called. “Winterpaw your mentor will be Swimmingfish, I know he wil pass down what he knows to you” he smiled as Redpaw touched noses with the leader and her mentor. “Dustpaw your mentor will be Wavesplash” he said with a smile “teach him well my daughter” he purred “Your mother would have been so proud of you” he smiled. Dustpaw touched noses with the leader and Wavesplash. “I will mentor Redpaw” he said as he looked at the beautiful russet she-cat with forest green eyes. “Clan dissmissed” he called and walked over to Redpaw and started to talk to her. Dustpaw watched Redpaw and Crabstar, Dustpaw knew he was a vicious leader and killed other clan cats, but he knew that Crabstar was sad and depressed who lost his mate Raindapple to a Shadowclan warrior.

“Ready to go” said a voice

Dustpaw jumped and turned around and saw Wavesplash, he blushed “Ready” he purred and they headed to the territory

Chapter 2
Dustpaw woke up in the apprentices den, he looked around the den and saw both of his sisters Redpaw and Winterpaw, they were both soundly asleep. He had been in the den for the past three moons and still has not went to the gathering, but he has been protracting his battle moves and hunting moves with his mentor and crush, Wavesplash. Dustpaw  purred and got up and headed to the FKP, he picked a fish and started to eat it.

“Dustpaw!” called Wavesplash.

Dustpaw looked around and saw Wavesplash running to him. “Yeah Wavesplash?” he asked

“I think we should go hunting this morning, plus you’ll be getting your warrior name soon” she purred

“I can't wait!” he said and looked into her eyes. “Wanna share this fish with me?” he asked

“Sure!” she purred

“So Wavesplash I was going to ask you this the first day before you become a warrior and I became an apprentice” he said he looked down at the ground embarrassed “I love you Wavesplash” He said “Will you be my mate?” he asked with a smile

Wavesplash’s icy blue eyes widen and then they become filled with love “Oh Dustpaw” she purred “I love you too, and Yes! I will be your mate” she purred as she pressed her fur against his.

Dustpaw purred happily and entwined their tails together.

Chapter 3
Dustpaw was wide awake in the warriors den, he knew he should not be here since he is not a warrior, but he could not leave Wavesplash who started coughing in the night

“Dustpaw” she said when she woke up “I have something to tell you”

“What is it my love?” she asked

“I’m expecting kits” she whispered “Your kits” she said

“Really!” he purred happily “They will be beautiful like you” he purred.

Wavesplash coughed again and answered “and handsome like you” she purred.

“Get better, I'll get you some prey” He said and walked out of the den and walked to the FKP. He heard some laughing and giggling, he had the fish in his mouth and he peak around the den and saw Redpaw and Crabstar talking and they had their tails entwined together That explains why Crabstar wanted her as his apprentice, he loves her and the looks of it she likes him he thought with a smiled he walked over into the warriors den and set the fish down by her feet and curled around her. “here you go my love” he smiled “Get better for our kits”

Wavesplash smiled “I will” she purred and closed her eyes and fell asleep

Chapter 4
“Dustpaw! Wake up!” called a voice.

Dustpaw jerked awake and saw Swimmingfish, “Yeah Swimmingfish?” He asked worried standing up

“Wavesplash is expecting the kits now!” he said racing to the nusery

Dustpaw’s eyes widen and ran after him “Wavesplash Wavesplash!” he yelled racing to the nursery.

Suddenly Eagletalon pushed him away from the nursery, “You cant go in there right now” he whispered “Sunfish is taking care of her, you can go in after the kits are born” he said

Later that day.

“Dustpaw you may go in now” said Sunfish who is a orange she-cat with blue eyes

Dustpaw nodded and walked in,his eyes landed on Wavesplash and three kits.

“Wavesplash” He purred “There beautiful” he smiled

Wavesplash purred but then started to cough “Can we name the kits, now” she asked

Dustpaw nodded and looked down at the, there were one tom and two she-cats. He smiled as he looked at the brown tom. “Dustkit” he smiled “After me”

Wavesplash purred and pointed to one of the she-cat’s with brown fur “Splashkit” she purred

Dustpaw nodded and he pointed to the last kitten that looked like Wavesplash, “Wavekit” he whispered “After you” he said with a smile.

Wavesplash purred and started to cough “I love them and I love you” Dustpaw purred “I love you Wavesplash” he smiled

Then all of a sudden one of the kits started to cough. “Dustpaw….take….care….of...Wavekit...and….Dustkit...and Splashkit...for me” she whispered. “I...love...you” she smiled “I’ll...wait...for..you..forever” she whispered and with that her eyes closed and she fell dead along with Splashkit

Dustpaw’s eyes widen “WAVESPLASH WAKE UP!” he screeched louder for all of his clanmates to here.

Suddenly Crabstar ran in “WAVESPLASH!” he yelled “Wake up!” he cried as he threw himself on Wavesplash’s dead body. “Wake up” he whispered.

Swimmingfish looked down with horror at his dead sister’s body “No” he whispered

Dustpaw cried harder and breathed in Wavesplash’s sent

Dustpaw’s clanmates pulled Wavesplash’s body out into the clearing, while Eagletalon’s mate took care of Dustpaw’s kits, Wavekit and Dustkit.

“Oh Wavesplash” he whispered “I will be here for you” He said again “I will always love you until my death” he said with a smile as he licked his mates dead head. “I will take care of Duskit and Wavekit for you” he whispered

Redpaw and Winterpaw rested there tail on his shoulder “It will be okay, brother” they said “We have each other”

“And you have me” said a voice

Dustpaw saw Foxtail, Wavesplash’s best friend. “Thank you Foxtail.” he meowed to the ginger she-cat with green eyes.

Foxtail nodded.

Chapter 5
“Let all cat’s old enough to swim to meet me under Highledge for a clan meeting” he called. Dustpaw woke up in the nursery, he looked down and saw Wavekit and Dustkit pressed against him. He smiled

“Wave up my little ones” whispered Dustpaw

Wavekit yawned and opened her icy blue eyes just like her mother, Wavesplash.

Dustkit opened his which were green like Dustpaw.

“Yeah Daddy?” asked

“Were going to go outside now okay” he said “There’s a clanmeeting” he said “Come on now” he smiled and ran outside

Wavekit and Dustkit giggled and ran outside and followed him

“We have three new warriors” said Crabstar “But before we begain” he said “I would love to well come my daughter’s kits” He smiled down at them “Wavekit and Dustkit” he said “My daughter was sick when she gave birth to three of the kits, one of them named, Splashkit died along with Wavesplash” he said sadly “She will be remembered in Wavekit and Dustkit” He purred “Welcome to Riverclan, my little kits” he purred. “Now Redpaw, Dustpaw, Winterpaw” he smiled “Do you hold the warrior code with the cost of your life?” he asked

“I do” said Redpaw

“I do” said Dustpaw

“I do” said Winterpaw

“Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your warrior names” He smiled “Winterpaw from this day forward you shall be known as Winterowl” he said “I welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan” he said touching noses with her.

Winterowl purred.

“Redpaw from this day forward, you shall be known as Redwing” He smiled. “I welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan” he smiled and touched noses with Redpaw.

“Dustpaw from this moment you shall be known as Dustnight, I welcome you a full Warrior of Riverclan” he said touching noses with him

“Dustnight” “Winterowl” “Redwing!”

Dustnight smiled and looked around camp, he then saw a gray she-cat with icy blue eyes and a kitten by her. Wavesplash and Splashkit he thought in his head. The gray she-cat smiled at him and said in his head I'm so proud of you, you are going to make a great warrior she said in his head I love you Dustnight she said.

“I love you too” he whispered as he watched them vanished.

“I have another announcement” said Crabstar looking down at Redwing “Redwing would you love to me my mate?” he asked shyly looking down at his paws

Redwing’s forest green eyes widen and then sparkling with love “Yes!” she said

Crabstar smiled and purred “I love you Redwing” “I love you too Crabstar” Dustnight smiled sadly at the sight of Crabstar and Redwing, who loved each other dearly. Dustnight was sad that his mate died and left him, but he knew he could not stop living just because Wavesplash died.

“Daddy! Daddy!” called a voice

Dustnight turned and saw his son and daughter Wavekit and Dustkit “Hello, little ones” he smiled

“Daddy! Can we become a warrior?” asked Wavekit

“Yeah! Can we! Can we!” asked Dustkit

“When you older” He smiled

“Aww okay” said Wavekit

Dustnight purred “Come on” he said leading them into the nursery, he sat down on Wavesplash’s nest, which was growing shallower of her scent every day. “I shall tell you a story about your mother” he said looking down at them.

Wavekit and Dustkit got comfortable and listened

“Your mother and I were in love from the first sight we saw each other, I was a kitten and ready  to become an apprentice, she became a warrior before me, and she was my mentor” he smiled “Later on we became mates, while I was a paw and she gave birth to you while I was a paw” he smiled sadly as tears came to his eyes. “Your mother was very sick when she became pregnant with you two” he said “But there was also a third kit, Splashkit” he said “She was so sick along with Wavesplash and she died right after Wavesplash” He said as the tears came down his face. “And I will ever forget the day when she died in my paws” he said looking down at his kits, which Wavekit and Dustkit had tears in there eyes. “I named you guys after us, Dustkit your named after me and Wavekit your named after your mother”

“Will we see them again?” asked Dustkit

“Of Course” he smiled “We will see them after we die” he said “Now go to sleep” he said with a smile and soon he fell asleep after them

Outside the nursery, Foxtail quitely listend to him. Foxtail coudn’t believe how such a nice cat he was.''' '''

Chapter 6
“Daddy!”

Dustnight yawned and opend one of his green eyes, and looked up and saw his daughter Wavepaw. “Yes dear?”

“There are Thunderclan cats in camp. Crabstar wants you to see you.” she whispered

Dustnight frowned, and worry crossed his mind as he thought if some one died. Following his daughter out. He saw Foxtail standing beside Dustpaw. He looked around and saw the  leader of Thunderclan with other Thunderclan cats. “What’s going on?” he meowed.

“Thunderclan wants sunnyrocks back!” growled Jaggedstar, turning his dangerous eyes on Dustnight rolled his eyes. “Like you will ever get Sunnyrocks. It’s ours!”

Jaggedstar growled. “Then we fight for it!” he hissed.

Crabstar growled as he barred his teeth. “I think you know, you would never want to mess with Riverclan.” he said stepping in front of his mate, Redwing who was now pregnant with his kits.

Jaggedstar rolled his eyes as he unsheaded his claws and clawed it across his face.

Swimmingfish screeched and jumped at Jaggedstar.

Smallcreek raced to Redwings side and pushed her into the leader’s den.

Crabstar growled and attacked Jaggedstar with Swimmingfish.

Dustnight could only watch helplessly. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Wavepaw on the ground pinned down by a big black tom. “Get off my daughter you peice of foxdug!” as he attacked the tom as Wavepaw ran out of the way.

Suddnely a voice screamed.

“Help!”

Dustnight turned his eyes and looked over and saw Foxtail pinned to the ground by a Thunderclan cat. “NO!” he screamed as he ran, just as the tom was ready to put the claw on Foxtail’s throat, he jumped in the way, taking the blow to the neck.

“Dustnight!” screamed Foxtail as she relized what happend.

Every Thunderclan cat and Riverclan cat stopped and stared at Foxtail and Dustnight.

“Daddy!” wailed Wavepaw and Dustpaw as they ran to his side.

Dustnight looked up at the sky and turned his bright green eyes on Foxtail. “I...had to...save you…” he coughed as blood pooled out of his mouth. “I couldn’t...see.. another cat I cared for….die.” “No… Dustnight!” cried as Foxtail had tears running down her face. “I love you, ever since I first saw you! You can’t leave me like Wavesplash!.” “I’m...sorry..” said Dustnight. “Take care of...my kits…” he coughed and then his eyes dulled. Then as Dustnight stepped out of his body,  two figures stood in front of him. “Wavesplash…” he whispered as he looked at the cat he loved with all his heart.

“It is time my love..” meowed the gray silver she-cat with beautiful blue eyes. A tiny kit stood by her side.

“Come on daddy..” meowed Splashkit

Dustnight turned back and looked at Foxtail. “Can she see me?” he whispered watching her cry over her dead body.

“No.” she shook her head.

“I need to tell her something, Wavesplash…” he said looking up at his mate.

Wavesplash smiled and nodded.

“Foxtail…” Foxtail jerked up and saw Dustnight in front of her, and behind her was Wavesplash and Splashkit

“Mom..” whispered Wavepaw as she took in the gray she-cat

Dustpaw’s eyes widen when he saw Splashkit

Wavesplash smiled at them. “My kits”

Carbstar looked and saw his daugher, suddenly another cat came. Carbstar’s eyes widen when he saw Raindapple. “Raindapple…”

Raindapple smiled. “Hello my love” she whispered

“Foxtail…I love you too and will see you again some day…” he meowed touching noses with her. “Dont greve over me, stay in the momment.” he meowed.

“Dont leave me… Please.” mewoed Foxtail.

“I’m sorry my love.” “Time to go Dustnight.” mewoed Wavesplash Dustnight looked back at his mate Wavesplash and nodded. “Goodbye Foxtail.” he meowed and walked to Wavesplash side and his little Splashkit. Dustnight from that momment knew that you can always find hope even when youre not looking. Dustnight knew that his heart would ever be with Wavesplash. “I am home..” he meowed to them.
