Shadowflower lashed her tail. "I'm taking care of six kits all on my own!" She snarled. "I'm sorry if I can't keep my eyes on every single one of them all the time. But telling Pebblekit about her real parents was not your job! I know what is best for my kits, and this was not it!" She leaped at the warrior with claws unsheathed and teeth bared.

"Mama!" Jaykit squeaked, running over. He unsheathed his tiny claws and glared at Thunderheart, ready to defend his mother against the large tom if he decided to join the fight.

But telling Pebblekit about her real parents was not your job! I know what is best for my kits, and this was not it!" She leaped at the warrior with claws unsheathed and teeth bared. Leafblaze stood calmly, knowing better than to ever raise claws at a queen. She was a loyal warrior, and no amount of shouting would change that. Glancing at Thunderheart, she looked back at the queen and mewed deeply. "Pebblekit is a Sunclan cat. It is the duty of the clan to see that kits are attended to. Have you asked Pebblekit how she feels? Did she enjoy being lied to now? How different do you think it would have been even later. I do not apologize for being honest with my clanmates. I'm disgustingly sick of the lies in this clan." She lashed har tail, turning sharply from the Queen. "I will search for Pebblekit then, and bring her back. And I will kill any rouge that dare lay a paw on her. Whether you believe it or not, I care just as fiercely for her."

Shadowflower snarled but didn't say anything to the she-cat. She took a few deep breaths to try and calm herself down as she stepped away from Leafblaze. She looked down at Jaykit and gave him a few brisk licks on the head. "Don't worry, dear. Go play with the other kits."

Thunderheart looked at Leafblaze in awe. He expected the she-cat to handle the situation very differently. A warm feeling grew in his chest as she turned away. ( 𝔯𝔞𝔟𝔟𝔦𝔱𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱, can you put that Thunderheart likes Leafblaze on the front page? I thing he kinda grew out of liking Golden, he just sees her as more of a friend now)

Emberstar led his patrol back into the camp.

Leafblaze had pushed her way out of camp before the patrol had returned, and was scenting around with determination. She would find Pebblekit and make them understand that what she did was for Pebblekit's sake, nothing more. She searched for a scent trail.
Yewberry pulled Snaketail into camp.
A deep shout of anguish turned into a heartbroken and hate filled wail as Sootflame limped from the elders den over to his grandson and his son's dead body. "Snaketail!" He cried. "My son! My kit! Oh Starclan, not another!" He begged, only to nearly fall to the ground as he saw that his kit was positively dead.
Rustlepaw pinned her ears back, unable to stand hearing the cries. It was akin for her as a cat with sight seeing a dead body. The tone of voice made her throat catch.

Riverbird raced out of the warriors' den when she heard her father's cries and raced to his side. "Snaketail, no!" She wailed.
Pineshadow lay Morningwind down beside Snaketail and Juniperbreeze.
Emberstar leaped onto the Highrock. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here for a Clan meeting!" He yowled to summon his Clan.
Lynxpaw pressed closer to Rustlepaw and sat down to hear what Emberstar had to say.
Peachpaw and Waterpaw sat down on Lynxpaw's other side.
Goldenfawn rushed out of the nursery and over to her kits, licking their scratches and checking them over to make sure they were okay. "Oh StarClan, I was so worried!" She gasped as she nuzzled each of her kits lovingly.
Scarletpaw limped into the camp at the back of the patrol and sat down at the edge of the clearing.

Sootflame trembled with boiling rage and loss as he gave low moans of agony. He glared up at Emberstar, claws extending and stretching across the ground.
Rustlepaw looked up and watched, while Yewberry searched for Leafstorn and sat close to her.

( 🌴𝒎𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔🌴 and Moonblazer I'm making the apprentices warriors now. Shiba, if you're not online, I'll do Wolfpaw the next time we're online at the same time. @pinacolada Do you want me to make Copperkit an apprentice after the warrior ceremony?)

When the Clan had gathered, Emberstar gazed down at all of them solemnly. "Today is a sad day. While we defeated the rogues in battle, we lost some truly amazing warriors. Juniperbreeze, Morningwind, and Snaketail were valuable warriors and Clanmates who will be dearly missed." He paused for a moment to remember the dead warriors.
"During the battle," Emberstar continued, "some brave apprentices fought valiantly, and it is time that they earned their warrior names. Waterpaw, Peachpaw, Lynxpaw, Rustlepaw, Wolfpaw... And Scarletpaw, please step forward."
Peachpaw looked at her brothers excitedly and took a step forward.
Waterpaw stepped forward, his head held high.
Lynxpaw looked at Rustlepaw happily before stepping forward.
Scarletpaw looked up from where she sat at the edge of the clearing. She had expected Emberstar to reveal that she had been a rogue and banish her from the Clan. Warrior... She looked around uncertainly before moving forward to stand with the other apprentices.

Rustlepaw padded forward hopefully, though her heart still ached fiercely at each frightening wail of loss. She decided she'd be the best she could be, in honor of the fallen warriors.
Sootflame's eyes grew cold and dull with emptiness as his mind rushed with pained thoughts.

"I, Emberstar, leader of SunClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Rustlepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." The blind apprentice looked up as best as she could, aiming her face in the direction of her leader's voice. The wounds and pain were just background feelings in the wake of her anticipation. This was it. She was really going to be Sunclan's blind warrior, and she had earned it all on her own.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Rustlepaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Rustlefoot. StarClan honors your honesty and your determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SunClan." Emberstar rested his muzzle on Rustlefoot's head.

Rustlefoot smiled hearing the name, resting her head on the leader's shoulder in the ceremonial fashion, as she heard the clan call her name, before she stepped back.
Yewberry cheered for her, and Sootflame's mew was weak yet respectful.

"Lynxpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Emberstar meowed.
"I do," Lynxpaw replied, his voice shaking as he held his head high.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Lynxpaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Lynxtail. StarClan honors your courage and your energy, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SunClan." Emberstar rested his muzzle on Lynxtail's head.
Lynxtail licked Emberstar's shoulder respectfully before taking a step back to stand beside Rustlefoot.

Lynxtail purred happily and nuzzled Rustlefoot.
"Waterpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Emberstar meowed.
"I do," Waterpaw meowed solemnly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Waterpaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Watershade. StarClan honors your independence and your intelligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SunClan." Emberstar rested his muzzle on Watershade's head.
Watershade licked Emberstar's shoulder before stepping back to stand with his brother.

(I can have Sootflame storm away to the Moonpool/Starpool now if you'd be ok with that!)
Sootflame felt the new names slip from his jaws, but couldn't stay any longer, body rippling with hate and pain as he turned, as though returning to the elder's den, away from the crowd. Although, he soon pushed out of camp, his old body rushing with adrenaline as he stormed quickly through the territory, his good eye burning.
