Darkpaw was padding towards them angrily. "You snails!" he shouted. "You're really late!" Lionclaw growled. "Yeah, whatever Darkpaw. That means we were protecting our clan longer!"

Darkpaw smirked. "Its Darkheart now, since you took so long, I got my warrior name!" He bragged. "Good for you," Moonstripe spat. Silverheart nodded.

"Hmph!" Darkheart turned around and stomped into the warrior den.

Suddenly, a white she-cat rushed over to Silverheart. "Are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm fine Icefur," Silverheart moaned. Icefur mrrowed with laughter. "I'm your mother, for Starclan's sake!" she exclaimed. She's a good mother Silverheart thought secretly. "Your father Eagletail wasn't worried a whisker even though you were missing. He said 'Don't worry, Silverheart is smart enough to survive'."

"That's great mom!" Silverheart purred. "But can I eat now?" "Of course," Her mother replied.

Silverheart padded over to the fresh-kill pile. She spotted a beautiful she-cat warrior with sleek silver fur, a red tip on her tail, and blue eyes. "Hello Arrowfeather," Silverheart breathed. Arrowfeather nodded. "Hello young Silverheart. Congratulations on being a warrior! Nice powers too," she commented. "I can't thank you enough Arrowfeather," Silverheart bowed. "You are one of the most respected warriors in Wolfclan."

"Thank you" Arrowfeather replied. A sturdy brown tom with amber eyes padded towards Arrowfeather and rubbed his head affectionately against hers. "Hello," He purred.

"Hello Bladewing," Arrowfeather murmured. Bladewing looked at Silverheart. "Ah! You must be the new warrior with awesome abilities!" He praised. "Thanks," Silverheart thanked. Arrowfeather rose. "I should get going," she meowed. "I have hunting patrol now."

"I'll come too," Bladewing rose too. Silverheart watched as they padded away, Bladewing playfully nudged Arrowfeather. Arrowfeather just rolled her eyes sarcastically and went outside to hunt.

"H-hello Silverheart," a voice behind her stammered. Silverheart whipped around and saw Lionclaw blushing with a huge rabbit in his paws. "Wow!" Silverheart exclaimed. "Did you catch that?" she asked. "Y-yeah, I caught it on the way back to Wolfclan. W-would you l-like to share with me?" he asked nervously.

"I'd love to," Silverheart responded gratefully. Lionblaze nudged the rabbit towards her after he took a bite. Silverheart spotted a little yellow kit was padding towards them. "Hi!" Honeykit squeaked. Silverheart purred and touched Honeykit's muzzle. "How is it sister?" Silverheart asked. "Are you ready to be an apprentice?"

"I'm fine!" Honeykit complained but there was excitement in her eyes. "Hello there, little one," Lionclaw mrrowed with laughter quietly. "Hello!" she piped up. "Honeykit!" Silverheart meowed. "You're almost an apprentice! Go wash yourself up alright?"

"Alright," Honeykit whined as she scampered away into the nursery. Silverheart stood and licked her fur, until a huge black tom shouldered her. "Watch it!" he snapped.

"I can believe that Webfang was Darkheart's mentor," Lionblazed growled under his breath.

"You're the young warrior with powers I see," he meowed. "I will watch you with interest, and don't bother me again," he hissed and padded away. "Starclan!" Moonstripe appeared at Silverheart's left. "I saw the whole thing. What got him in a shady mood?"

Silverheart stared at Moonstripe's fur closely. She had white fur although a long black streak ran down her back and part of her muzzle. She also had one paw that was jet black. "Well, I'm going to eat a mouse," Moonstripe yawned as she plucked a mouse from the fresh-kill pile in her jaws and started to eat. "Lionclaw, do you want to finish that rabbit now?" Silverheart asked. Lionclaw blushed. "S-sure" he stammered. They quickly ate the rabbit it huge gulps. Siverheart, Moonstripe, and Lionclaw padded into their warriors den drowsily and crashed into their moss beds.

Silverheart blinked as her eyes drifted into sleep.
