Kits, Reedpaw, and Warriors

Applestar emerged from Cinderpool's den, her eyes bright with happiness and love. The dappled she-cat leaped onto the Waterstone, the cool water lapping lazily at her paws. Though some of the RippleClan warriors emerged from their dens, signaling other cats to gather underneath the Waterstone. Even if she had no need to call her clan to gather, she did anyway, chanting to StarClan to watch this clan meeting.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" she called, her voice ringing throughout the hallow. Only some of the cats emerged from the other dens, not seeing the cats who had gathered before Applestar called RippleClan together.

"I believe today is one of the most lucky days for RippleClan! Firstly, I have a very important announcement to make," she purred. "As some of you may have noticed, I have grown plump in size," she began, her eyes fishing through the crowd until her gaze found Bramblefeather. "I'm pregnant!" she chirped, her eyes swimming with happiness.

The crowd of cats let out purrs of happiness, congratulating both Bramblefeather and Applestar. Waiting until the cheers died down, she continued. "I have also discovered that last night, Reedpaw is alive!" she mewed, her eyes finding Reedpaw sitting next to Blackpaw. Reedpaw licked Blackpaw's face, nuzzling into his flank.

Even more cheers broke out for the gray she-cat, until Applestar held her tail for silence. "She is still injured, but not so much that she can't become a warrior today along with Blackpaw and Willowpaw," Applestar grinned at the shocked apprentices, before continuing yet again.

"I, Applestar, leader of RippleClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these three apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I ask that you commend them warriors in turn. Willowpaw, Blackpaw, Reedpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect RippleClan, even at the cost of your lives?" she asked.

"I do." all three cats declared in unison.

"Then I commend you warriors in turn. Willowpaw, from this moment forward, you will be known as Willowfeather. StarClan honors you for your respect and kindness, and welcomes you as a full warrior of RippleClan in turn. Blackpaw, from this moment forward, you will be known as Blackshade. StarClan honors you for your bravery and fierceness, and welcomes you as a full warrior of RippleClan. Reedpaw, from this moment forward, you will be known as Reedfeather. StarClan honors you for your courage and spirit, and welcomes you as a full warrior of RippleClan."

"Willowfeather! Blackshade! Reedfeather!"

"Meeting dismissed!" Applestar mewed, jumping off of the Waterstone.

Alive

Am I.....dead....? I hurt everywhere.... 

She felt like she was air, drifting through blackness. A weightless feeling drifted through her, calm and peaceful. Where was she? She opened her eyes, finding herself spanning through the stars, heading towards a light. So...that's actually.....true? Drifting to a light when you.....


Die.

She felt a tear drip. I'm not ready! She screamed in her head, twisting around, trying to escape this light. It couldn't be true! She gaped open her mouth to scream, except nothing escaped.

The light consumed her. The stars, the blue-and-black sky. Everything until it seemed the universe exploded. Opening her eyes, it wasn't space darkness she found.....

It was night time.

In RippleClan territory.

"Oh Reedpaw.....if we didn't go out....if I had protected you...." a familiar, sad voice whispered from beside her. Reedpaw remained limp, even though pain was everywhere. This must be her vigil. "Everything is my fault..." Blackpaw? She thought. Was this her crushes way of apologizing for her death?

How did it happen? And then she remembered. Willowpaw had dared him to climb a tree, and then the branch fell on her! It's not his fault at all! The voice screamed in her head, telling her to wake up and wrap herself around Blackpaw, and tell him how much she loved him.

But not yet.

"Reedpaw....I-I wanted you to know how much....how much I cared.....even though your dead now....how much I-I...." he trailed off, leaving her to dig out her claws into the floor. Why can't you say it? She screamed in her head.

Reedpaw felt a tear-stained muzzle nuzzle into her flank, her fur blowing as Blackpaw breathed in her scent one last time, as he thought it would be. Reedpaw felt tears leave her eyes as he whispered into her blood-stained fur, "I love you..."

She finally took a deep, long breath, opening her eyes. Blackpaw gasped. "Y-your alive? B-but Dovesong and Cinderpool...." Reedpaw turned her head to look into Blackpaw's eyes.

"Y-you really m-m-meant that? Y-you love me?" she asked, dry blood clogging her throat.

Through his dark, black fur, shaded from the night, Reedpaw saw lightened tears. "Yes. Every word." he meowed, leaning forward to press his nose to hers.

Reedpaw, though every part of her ached, found feeling of her paws, and pressed close to Blackpaw, their gray and black fur mingling together. "I love you..." she whispered.

D'aww.....ain't that sweet? Well, true apologies to Holly. I should have talked to you first before killing off Reedpaw like that. Well, Holly, please stay active. Also, do you mind if Flameflick dies? I don't want to do it without talking to you first. Please comment! Find Reedpaw alive! Talk to them! Whatever it is you people do in these posts!


Apple is out!

I Dare You

The sun peeked through the clouds, it's light golden light gloriously stretching down to the RippleClan camp below. The brook outside the camp's barrier shone a light blue and white, reflecting the sky and trees above it. Blackpaw lay restlessly in his nest, his dark tail flicking back and forth. Willowpaw and Reedpaw lay beside him, with Icepaw and Shiverpaw chatting in the back of the den.

The brambles of the apprentices den shook as a light breeze barged through, the brown tendrils dappled with dark green leaves shook violently, as if fretting like a kit does when a mother does not ween their milk to them. Blackpaw sat up straighter, his amber gaze scanning the lifeless camp before them.

"Were not going out training today...our mentors wanted time to rest," Willowpaw breathed, her gray ears dropping.

Reedpaw snorted from her position on the other side of Blackpaw. "Their just lazy. Why, when I'm a warrior, I'll never leave my apprentice a beautiful day without training." she growled, her tail smacking against them moss before it sprung back to it's position.

Blackpaw sighed. "Flameflick, Ambertail and Rosewing were tired after Flameclaw put them on the night patrol. You can't honestly say it's all their fault, you know," he told Reedpaw.

The gray she-cat's deep eyes brightened. "Hey! I've got an idea!" she mewed, her eyes flicking side ways to ensure that Shiverpaw and Icepaw didn't hear.

Willowpaw moved close to Blackpaw so she could hear. "What?" she asked, her pelt mixing in with Blackpaw's.

Reedpaw's lips formed a wide, sneaky grin. "How about we take ourselves out training? We'll show our mentors that we are far more better than they are at mentoring! And who knows; maybe Applestar might make us warriors!" Reedpaw's eyes were wide.

A stab of wonder hit Blackpaw. "Do....do you think we can pull it off?" he asked.

Willowpaw flicked him over the ear with her tail. "Of course, mousebrain! We're smart!" she purred.

Blackpaw felt both she-cats eyes on him. He was the last one to choose if they should do it or not. "Yeah. Yeah, okay. Let's do it," he agreed. Even though a small voice in the back of his head screamed no and that they'll get into so much trouble for doing it, he ignored it, and smiled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay...I dare Blackpaw to climb to the top of that tree!" Willowpaw grinned, her sharp white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

Blackpaw gulped as he looked up a tall beech tree, the green leaves shimmering in the sunlight. "Aw, come on Willowpaw! You always give out the scariest dares!" he growled. Willowpaw still had that dumb grin on her face, her head going back to fully see the hight of the tree.

"Come on, Blackpaw! Or are you a frightened mouse?" Reedpaw teased, her pelt glimmering in the sunlight.

The three apprentices had completely abandoned their idea to go out training by themselves, now playing dares on each other. Reedpaw had to toss a stone at a bird, Willowpaw had to roll down a small hill, and now Blackpaw had to climb the tall tree.

Hooking his claws into the rough bark, he hauled himself up to the lowest branch, shaking. The leaves rustled as the branch creaked. Blackpaw stuck his tongue out a Reedpaw, who was mimicking his shaking frame. Gripping his paws around the next highest branch, he hauled himself up further. The sunlight hit his eyes, making him narrow them to block it out.

After many hauls up the branches and trunk of the tree, he finally found himself at the top, standing on his hind legs while placing his front paws at the tip of the tree. Looking down at the amazed Reedpaw and Willowpaw, he grinned at their defeat.

"Ha! Told you I could do it!" he hissed playfully, watching their amazed looks turn into a playfully challenge.

"Oh yeah? Well, come down here so that you can give Reedpaw her dare!" Willowpaw called, her voice faintly rustling the leaves.

Blackpaw gulped again as he looked down the tree, before taking his forepaws off of the tip of the tree. The way down was way more scarier than the trip up. Suddenly, his forepaws lost grip, slipping away from the bark. His chest slammed into the branch, his tail smacking against his face. Blackpaw clung onto the branch with his paws, his claws digging into the bark. Cracks and creaking noise flooded into his ear as the branch suddenly snapped.

Blackpaw leaped from the falling branch, and to the trunk of the tree. His claws easily found their grip, and he was safe. His heart was beating rapidly. Then he remembered the falling branch, which was falling straight down to Willowpaw and Reedpaw!

"Guys! Look out!" he called out. But it was too late as a shriek sliced through the air, followed by muffled silence after the branch fell to the ground.

"Reedpaw!" Willowpaw cried in agony and despair. Blackpaw's eyes nearly shot from his head. Quickly, the apprentice climbed down the tree, and his paws landed to the grass with a soft thud. Blackpaw bounded to the horrified Willowpaw.

Blood leaked from beneath the fallen cedar branch, and only Reedpaw's tail-tip could be seen.

"She's.....dead..."

Sorry, Holly Lives On. But you were inactive, so I killed off Reedpaw. If you remain inactive, I'll kill Flameflick too. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Ceremonies

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" Applestar meowed, leaping on top of the Waterstone. Bramblefeather padded up lightly, always being one of the first cats to come to the clan meetings, followed by Flameflick and Embersky. Cinderpool bounded from her den, sitting next to Embersky.

Kit~Shiverkit *Shiverheart*"Today, I'm preforming one of my favorite ceremonies. Shiverkit, Icekit, step forward," Applestar meowed. Shiverkit and Icekit ran from Berryblossom and Kestrelfire, coming up to the Waterstone. Applestar leaped down to preform the sacred ceremony.

"These two kits have reached their sixth moon of age, and are ready to become apprentices. Until she receives her warrior name, she will be known as Shiverpaw. Embersky," Applestar turned to the cream she-cat.

"You are very fit to earn an apprentice. Though you are new to the ways of this clan, I know you'll be an excellent mentor to Shiverpaw." she meowed. Shiverpaw ran forward before pressing her nose to Embersky, and sitting down next to her mentor.

"Icekit, until you receive your warrior name, you'll be known as Icepaw. Spiderstorm," Applestar then turned to the gray tabby. "You are also new here, but, I know that you too will be an excellent mentor to Icepaw."

"Shiverpaw! Icepaw! Shiverpaw! Icepaw!" the cats of RippleClan cheered as Icepaw scrambled over to Spiderstorm.

"Meeting dismissed!" Applestar meowed, walking back into her den.

Should I Delete RippleClan?

Should I delete this clan? Only a few people seem to be active. Please write below! I'll make a new clan or just go solo with my new blog if you believe so.

The Dream.... Part Three

Stonestreak grinned. His mission was complete. Crowstar had sent the streaked tom to scan this....'RippleClan's' territory to see how MountainClan was to adjust. It was mostly water! Almost like MarshClan, except the cats of the mountains had up to their chest in goop. Now, he had learned from a young Shiverkit the ways of this clan.

Hooker Valley New ZealandStonestreak bounded up a hill, looking back at the valley where this clan lived. Jagged cliffs glowed silver in the moonlight, the streams and brooks shone and glittered, while the tree tops ruffled. It was....beautiful mostly. Stonestreak smiled, then shook his head. No. I can't show any weakness. he remembered.

A flicker of sadness washed through him as the gray tom realized that pretty soon, the valley would be stained with beautiful crimson, running the water red.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reedpaw let out a hiss as Blackpaw sat on her tail. "Ouch, Blackpaw! Seesh, can't you watch where you're sitting!" Reedpaw yanked her tail away from Blackpaw, lashing it back and forth.

Blackpaw rolled his eyes at Reedpaw before bounding to Willowpaw, talking to the she-cat while shooting glares at Reedpaw. Oh oh, because you're the innocent one! she thought bitterly, getting up and padding to Cinderpool's den.

The gray she-cat was talking to Embersky, both who seemed to be frightened out of their minds. Reedpaw bit her lip at the thought of going up and breaking up their conversation. Cinderpool might be angry, but she knew Embersky wouldn't.

Sighing, she padded up to the two she-cats. "Erm....anything...wrong?" she asked.

Cinderpool whipped her head around, but forced her fur to lie flat when she saw it was only Reedpaw. "Uh, no. Nothing. Embersky was just.....speaking about the shortage of prey," she mewed quickly, looking back to Reedpaw.

Reedpaw narrowed her eyes as Embersky bounded away, hurrying off. Sure you were.... "I wanted to....never mind. I just remembered that....I was hungry," she growled, whipping around.

Reedpaw knew something was up. And she was going to find out exactly what.

Even if it meant demanding it from Embersky and Cinderpool.

Okay, what Cinderpool and Embersky where talking about was Embersky's dream.

Bluegaze and Ivykit

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" Applestar called, her voice strong and tight through the hallow.

As soon as her clan was called and every cat was accounted for, Applestar continued: "Today, we welcome two new cats to our strong clan! Bluegaze and Ivykit! Bluegaze will serve under RippleClan as a warrior, while Ivykit is a new kit! I hope our queens, Berryblossom and Kestrelfire, will watch her as if she where their own."

"Bluegaze! Ivykit! Bluegaze! Ivykit!" the cats of RippleClan cheered proudly, welcoming the two new she-cats to their clan.

"Meeting dismissed!" Applestar meowed, leaping off of the Waterstone.

A New Family

The sunlight basked on Applestar's dappled-and-white fur, peaking through the waterfall. The cardinals and larks sang outside, the morning full chirps filling the camps air. Applestar padded slickly through the waterfall, the beads of water clinging to her fur. Applestar bunched her rippling muscles, leaping atop the Waterstone.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" she meowed, her voice ringing through the hallow. Embersky's eyes were heavy as she walked outside the warriors den, followed by a prickly Flameflick. Bramblefeather leaped from his position by Reedpaw, sitting next to Cinderpool and Berryblossom.

"Our clan is growing even further today as we add five new members to our clan! Please welcome Spiderstorm, and his mate and children Kestrelfire, Rowankit, Olivekit, and Lupinkit! Spiderstorm will be serving our clan as a warrior, while, until her kits have reached their sixth moon and have become apprentices, Kestrelfire will be another queen. Kestrelfire, I also request that you help Berryblossom take care of Icekit and Shiverkit!" Applestar finished, inhaling deeply from her long speech.

"Spiderstorm! Kestrelfire! Rowankit! Olivekit! Lupinkit!" the cats of RippleClan cheered, their voices ringing about the hallow.

"Meeting dismissed!" Applestar leaped off of the Waterstone, her paws landing neatly on the camp floor.

The Dream.... Part Two

Applestar flicked her tail from her position in front of Cinderpool's den. The medicine cat would give her traveling herbs for her journey to the Moonwater. Scuffles came from the den, getting closer to Applestar as the medicine cat slid from her den, a bundle of herbs in her mouth.

"Here, Applestar, eat up," she meowed, dropping them at Applestar's paws. Blinking gratefully at the medicine cat, Applestar bent her head to lap up the bitter tasting herbs. Clicking her tongue on the roof of her mouth to stop the taste, Applestar got to her paws, dipping her head in respect to the medicine cat before padding to the entrance of camp.

"Applestar! Applestar, wait." Bramblefeather's voice came from behind her, and the leader spun around to see the brown tabby looking at her with glazed eyes. "Y-You can't leave for the Moonwater, not without me there. I won't allow it." he meowed stubbornly.

Applestar blinked warmly at her mate. "Bramblefeather, you're not going with me, you can't." she meowed, her eyes narrowing.

Bramblefeather let out a low growl. "Oh, yes I am. If you don't let me go with you now, then I'll follow you." he meowed, his neck fur rising.

Applestar looked towards the sky, then back at her mate. "Fine then. Don't get in the way," she meowed, leaping off into the forest. Bramblefeather bounded closely beside her, his paws light on the forest floor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Embersky's tail-tip twitched. She didn't like her leader leaving the clan. Yes, they had Flameclaw, but the tortoiseshell's absence still made her fur prickle. In her distress, she hardly heard Flameflick padding up to her.

"Hey, Embersky," Flameflick mewed, snapping the cream she-cat from her thoughts. Embersky looked back at the black she-cat.

"Yes, Flameflick?" she asked, her green eyes narrowing.

Flameflick let out a snort. "I wanted to tell you to get some rest. Flameclaw's told me that your going on the Dawn patrol tomorrow." she meowed, a tone of harshness rising in the air. Embersky dipped her head before padding into the warriors den, curling up in a warm ball.

Embersky closed her green eyes, letting sleep wash over her like a black wave. Embersky awoke in a rocky cave, only a shade of light inside the dark place. Embersky let out a low growl. "Who's there?" she asked, baring her teeth. The only sound inside the cave was Embersky's echo.

The she-cat let out a hiss of annoyance before padding farther into the cave, her eyes not yet adjusting into the dark. Embersky slammed her paw on a rock, a bolt of pain shocking through her. The cream warrior gasped in pain before licking the ruffled fur around the source of the pain.

"Good job, Eaglestorm," an icy, cold voice hissed, slicing through the silence. Though in pain, Embersky limped forward, her fur prickling. Embersky stopped when two shadows plastered against the gray stone wall came into view.

"Poppyclaw was a traitor, I knew it." the same voice chuckled coldly, vibrating the tunnel. Embersky listened closely. "Watching her and Oakfall beg for their lives was the best part, agreed?" it mocked, asking the smaller shadow.

"Of course, Crowstar, sir. Wiping out DustClan seemed to be where she fell. She just couldn't kill that tabby apprentice, right?" the smaller shadow hissed, letting out a laugh.

Crowstar? Oakfall? Poppyclaw? DustClan? What in StarClan's name are they talking about? Embersky thought, padding forward to see the cats who were speaking. One was a smoky gray tom, pelt lathered in scars, with snow-white paws, and icy blue eyes that made Embersky shiver, even though he wasn't looking at her. The smaller cat was a brown-and-white tabby tom with ferny green eyes.

"Eaglestorm, take Poppyclaw and Oakfall's bodies out of here, their starting to stink up my den." the smoky gray tom asked, flicking his tail to the two bodies bleeding crimson in the corner near the entrance to the den.

The brown-and-white tabby named Eaglestorm dipped his head. "Yes, Crowstar." he meowed, grasping the two slaughtered cats scruffs and dragging them from the leaders den.

Crowstar narrowed his eyes. "Everything is going according to my plan," he hissed to himself. "Now that Stonestreak is checking out that clan 'RippleClan' and seeing their weaknesses, once we kill all of them, nothing will stand in MountainClan's way!" Crowstar's eyes narrowed further in pleasure as he went over to a mossy nest and lied down.

Embersky backed up in horror. This 'MountainClan' was going to wipe out RippleClan!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Berryblossom purred as Amberkit playfully batted Icekit's ears, jumping around. Even though Icekit and Shiverkit weren't her kits, she still cared for them as if they were her own. The she-cat wiped a paw over her ear, her amber gaze scanning the sky. It was almost moonhigh.

"Kits! When all of the apprentices go in their den, come into the nursery so you can go to sleep." Berryblossom ordered.

Shiverkit smiled from her position besides Stormkit. "Okay, Berryblossom." she meowed.

Berryblossom blinked warmly at the gray she-kit before padding into the nursery. Berryblossom curled into her warm nest before slowly shutting her eyes, allowing sleep to give into her.

Berryblossom woke up only a hour later, to see that no kit was beside her in her nest. Angered, Berryblossom stomped outside the nursery, going to completely forbid the four kits to spend anytime out at night.

Right when the queen was going to open her mouth, she gaped in horror. Shiverkit was gone! Berryblossom franticly looked around camp, and she could see a trace of the gay tabby. Looking at her kits and Icekit, she demanded an answer.

"Where is Shiverkit?" she asked, her amber eyes filling with worry.

Icekit pointed his tail towards the entrance of camp. "A strange tom came to us, he didn't smell of RippleClan or SleetClan, so we knew he was from somewhere else. He said he had a message to give one of us, so he took Shiverkit into the forest." he meowed, looking back up at Berryblossom.

The tabby let out a shriek before bounding outside of camp, her paws smacking against the forest floor. "Shiverkit! Shiverkit, where are you?" she called her head spinning with anything possible that could have happened to her.

Running through a gorse bush, her heart lightened when she saw Shiverkit sitting in a clearing. Running over to check if her kit was harmed in anyway, she hardened. "Who was this cat? Where is he? What did he say?" she asked.

Shiverkit looked up at Berryblossom, her eyes where wide and full of fright. "H-H-He said th-t-that we where all g-g-going to d-die, and then...and then he gave me this..." she mewed, scooting over to show Berryblossom a dove feather plastered with blood.

Berryblossom gaped in horror.

This tom said that they where all going to....die? 


{Note: No one can ask Shiverkit anything about the cat, or say that they saw him or anything. Only Shiverkit knows what he looks like, and she can't tell anyone because she's so frightened. Berryblossom can't show anyone the feather, either.

No one can guess anything about Embersky's dream, and she won't tell them. They all think she's having a bad dream.}

Berryblossom, Amberkit and Stormkit









Applestar padded from her den, scanning the RippleClan camp before calling a clan meeting. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!"


"Today, I believe I have terrific news! We have a new queens, along with two new kits! Our queens name is Berryblossom, and her two kits are Amberkit and Stormkit! I hope that you can treat them with respect, and Amberkit and Stormkit with kindness. 

"This also means that Berryblossom will watch over Shiverkit and Icekit until they become apprentices." Applestar finished, scanning over her clan. 

"Berryblossom! Amberkit! Stormkit!" RippleClan cheered, their voices proudly ringing for the new cats.

"Meeting dismissed!" Applestar meowed, leaping off of the Waterstone. 

The tortoiseshell looked towards the darkening sky, knowing that it was also time for her to visit the Moonwater

Embersky, SleetClan, and a Trip

Applestar nodded to a pretty cream she-cat. Flicking her tail for the she-cat to follow, Applestar leaped atop one of the rocks, snagging her claws on a cleft before jumping onto the Waterstone. Though every cat came to the Waterstone without command, she still decided to call them anyway.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" she called, her tail waving. Every cat sat to begin the clan meeting, looking up expectantly at their leader. "Today is a great day for RippleClan! We have a new cat joining us. Her name is Embersky! I request that you treat her with respect and loyalty." Applestar meowed.

"Embersky! Embersky! Embersky! Embersky!" The cats of RippleClan cheered. Applestar smiled.

"I have two other important pieces of information. We have an ally, SleetClan! Their leader, Featherstar, requested, and I have gladly excepted. My other news is that I am taking a trip to the Moonwater tonight. While I am away, I would like Flameclaw and Rosewing to guard the camp. Meeting dismissed!" Applestar meowed, leaping off of the Waterstone to congratulate Embersky.

Join SleetClan if you can! http://sleetclan.blogspot.com/

The Dream.... Part One

Applestar's breaths became a rhythm as she lay in her nest, deep in sleep. The water that trickled outside of her den became a nice, cool rushing noise. Applestar's eyes twitched in sleep, her dreams haunting her.

Applestar ran out into the forest, blood soaking the forest floor. Applestar skidded to a halt as taunting voices sounded from the other side of a gorse bush. 

"Great job, Oakfall. That tiny she-cat thought she was a match for a MountainClan warrior, didn't she?" A sly female voice hissed. 

"She did, right? The stupid forest cat doesn't know the first thing about fighting! Her muscles could've used some work." The tom known as Oakfall growled. Applestar gaped in horror. Who were they talking about? What is MountainClan?

"Oakfall! Poppyclaw! We got one more." Yet another voice hissed, farther from the two cats behind the bush. Applestar followed their hefty pawsteps toward a rushing river. Wait...she knew that noise....it was the river in RippleClan territory! These cats are in her territory!

"N-No, please! I-I want to join MountainClan, I promise!" A terrified voice piped up. Applestar knew that voice, it was Flameclaw, her deputy! What are they doing to him? she thought. 

Applestar peered through the bush to see a muscular dark brown tabby tom, a dark tortoiseshell, and a gray streaked tom. Flameclaw had one eye shut, and a deep claw mark on his shoulder. 

"Oh? Is that so?" The dark tortoiseshell hissed into his ear. She must be Poppyclaw. Applestar thought. Flameclaw nodded. Poppyclaw put out a front paw, and unsheathed a claw, slicing Flameclaw's throat like berryskins. "Too bad.." she snarled. 

The gray streaked tom grinned. "Nice move, Poppyclaw. I'm sure Crowstar will be pleased with your performance. He had his doubts, after all, you were taken in from SmokeClan, and he didn't know weather to trust you or not," he mewed. 

Poppyclaw smiled, flicking Oakfall over the ear with her tail. "Thank you, Stonestreak." She dipped her head to the gray tom. 

Applestar backed up, horrified. Bodies, all around her! Her slain clanmates! 

"No!" Applestar jolted from her dream, and stared around her den. She quickly bounded outside, looking around to see if everyone was there. Luckily, it was a normal day for RippleClan. But...It looked so....real... She thought. 

Bounding to Cinderpool's den, she looked inside to see the medicine cat sorting some herbs. "C-Cinderpool! I-I need to go to the Moonwater." she meowed, her paws churning the dead twigs. The medicine scanned Applestar up and down. 

"Applestar....? Are you sure?" she asked. Applestar nodded. "Well, tomorrow, you will. You'll need an escort." Cinderpool meowed.

Applestar dipped her head. "Thank you." she meowed. Applestar's heart pounded in her chest. Is MountainClan...real?

Many New Cats





"Today, we are blessed by StarClan to have many new cats join us! We have Flameclaw, our deputy, Dovesong, a senior warrior, Shiverkit and Icekit, two new kits, Willowpaw, an apprentice, Windyleaf, Stonenight and Ambertail, three new warriors! Willowpaw will be trained by Ambertail! This is all, meeting dismissed!" Applestar meowed, leaping off of the Waterstone.

The new cats flicked their tails happily before padding over to their new clanmates. Thank you, StarClan. Applestar thought as she padded through the glimmering waterfall and into her den.
"Let all cats old enough..." Applestar begun as her clan begun to gather. Bramblefeather immediately padded out of the warriors den, followed by Rosewing and Flameflick. Reedpaw and Blackpaw flicked their tails as Cinderpool sat beside them. "To catch their own prey, gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!" she finished, gazing over her clan.

Flameflick and Reedpaw


Applestar sat in her den, allowing her pale green gaze to search through the water fall, scanning the afternoon. The grass ruffled faintly in the breeze, brushing against the waterfall in front of Applestar's den. Applestar inhaled deeply before walking through the waterfall, allowing the cool water to course through her fur. Snagging her claws on a ridge of a rock, she haled herself atop her den, her muscles rippling through her dappled-and-white fur.

Jumping onto the stone in the middle of the source of the waterfall, she surveyed her clan for a heartbeat. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Waterstone for a clan meeting!"

Applestar smiled with pleasure as her clan peeked their heads out of their dens, padding underneath the shadow of the Waterstone. Applestar nodded as every cat was accounted for.


"Today, we have two new cats joining us!" Applestar beckoned her tail to where two she-cats where waiting on the other side of the Waterstone. "Their names are Flameflick and Reedpaw. Flameflick is another warrior, and just because she was a rouge before, I hope that you don't treat her any differently than you would any other cat." Applestar meowed, looking at her clan.

"Reedpaw will train underneath Rosewing. Flameflick, I request that you train Blackpaw. I hope you both pass on your knowledge to your new apprentices." Applestar mewed.

"Flameflick! Reedpaw! Flameflick! Reedpaw!" The cats of RippleClan cheered.

Applestar let out an approving nod. "Meeting dismissed!" she mewed, leaping on the floor of camp.

Join RippleClan Here:

Hello, Applestar here. Welcome to RippleClan, the clan of water, life, and justice. Our clan is honorable, kind to clans that respect us, and welcome in strangers, as long as they mean us no harm, and respect the warrior code. Our respect in StarClan makes us wise, and strong. Now, here are some rules for you to know before joining RippleClan.


1. Please note that you must comment on this clan at least twice a week. If you can't comment often, please speak to me in my den.


2. If your deputy or medicine cat apprentice, please acknowledge the fact that since your duty is more important, you must comment three times a week.


3. If your joining, please check if another cat has a mate or crush listed. Having four cats like the same cat is difficult.


4. No text speak in your comments. I understand that it's easier, but some people don't understand it, and it gets quite confusing. The only place where text speak is permitted is the Cbox. If your writing a comment, then write normally with a few spelling errors.

Leaders Den



Ahh, here's my den. Nice, huh? I love to walk through the little pond and through the waterfall, it cools my fur. Come in, come in. See, isn't it nice and cool in here? The floor is nice and smooth, good for sitting on, right? The moonlight looks beautiful through the water, and the sound of it splashing on the stones relax me. Come out and look on top it. See where the waterfall comes from? Theres a rock above it, big enough for a cat to call a clan meeting, or the WaterStone.
