Brokenpaw laid beside the nursery when three excited squeals rang in her ear and she was jumped on by darkkit, brightkit and wolfkit. "hello kits" brokenpaw purred."hi brokenpaw" brightkit and darkkit squealed. "brokenpaw why is your name brokenpaw" wolfkit asked. "I broke my shoulder as a kit and it was the name goddess gave me" brokenpaw replied. "sharpstrike is your mentor right" brightkit asked. brokenpaw nods and smiles at the kits." brokenpaw lets go your having your warrior assessment today" sharpstrike meowed. "gotta go kits I'll see you later" brokenpaw shot up and took off after sharpstrike. Phoenixpaw stood in a clearing with goddess. "go hunt now" goddess growled and took off.

Brokenpaw crouched and stalked towards a rabbit when a twig snapped and the rabbit pelted away. Brokenpaw growled and sprints after the rabbit and leaped on it biting down on its neck. suddenly the smell of dozens of mice filled her nose and brokenpaw buried her rabbit and ran to a log. brokenpaw killed close to 30 mice and a rabbit. Then Phoenixpaw ran into the clearing were brokenpaw was. "you did so good" Phoenixpaw meowed. "whatever" brokenpaw growled sharpstrike and goddess padded into the clearing "you both did well" sharpstrike meowed. "brokenpaw you caught a lot of mice" goddess meowed with a delightful purr. "let's return to camp you two are ready to become warriors" sharpstrike meowed.

"Brokenpaw, orchidpaw and Phoenixpaw your warrior names are brokenmelody, orchidpatch and Phoenixwing" shootingstar meowed. brokenmelody looked at her father her muscles twitched as she padded away. Phoenixwing ran to orchidpatch and pressed to her side. Embersky licked foxbrooks head and padded out of camp. Suddenly the sound of dogs broke the silence of the camp. "run you fools" brokenmelody yowled. cats pelted around the camp trying to get out. brokenmelody sees goldenspark running up the hollow wall with brightkit dangling from her jaws. "Help us" two wails of fear rang out over the barking. brokenmelody spun around to see a large white dog standing over the frightened kits. brokenmelody growled and dashed across the clearing and slide between the dog and the two kits her claws slide out and left claw marks in the ground. "brokenmelody" the kits cried when the dog lunges for brokenmelody. brokenmelody kicked the kits sideways and the dog slams brokenmelody backwards. brokenmelody hooked her long claws into the dogs face and throw it over her head. the kits squealing with fright brokenmelody throw herself at the kits and bowled them out of the way of the dog. The dog slammed into the hollow wall and spun around to be face to face with brokenmelody. she sank her long teeth into the dogs throat and shook her head tearing deeper into the dogs flesh. It let out a shriek of pain and shook brokenmelody off. The dog took off and brokenmelody limped to the kits. "Oh thank you brokenmelody" both Toms looked up at brokenmelody with love in their eyes. "lets go your parents must be worried about you" brokenmelody lead the kits out of camp. goldenspark was wailing In distress "I lost all my kits" she wailed. "mama" wolfkit and darkkit cried and ran to goldenspark. "oh my babies" she cried and throw herself at the kits. "brokenmelody saved us from a dog" wolfkit looked back at brokenmelody who was getting looked over by blacktip. "I think all the kits should be made apprentices" brokenmelody meowed raising her broad head. "I agree" shootingstar padded up "wolfkit, darkkit, cloudkit and Ashkit your apprentice names are wolfpaw, darkpaw, cloudpaw and ashpaw" shootingstar meowed. "brokenmelody you maybe young but your a great fighter and hunter so you'll mentor wolfpaw, foxbrook you'll mentor darkpaw, Pantherheart you'll mentor cloudpaw and jewelwing you'll mentor ashpaw" shootingstar meowed and brokenmelody touched her nose to wolfpaws. " Brokenmelody may we talk alone please" runningstorm asked. "um sure lets go outside camp" brokenmelody meowed. "brokenmelody I love you so much I feel so embarrassed by telling you this but I had too" runningstorm meowed. brokenmelody's blood red eyes soften with love and affection for the . "I love you too runningstorm " brokenmelody meowed.
