Setclaw walked over to her apprentice and looked at Rareleaf. “Is she going to be OK?” she asked.

Rareleaf nodded. “Yes she’s goanna be fine.”

Setclaw looked at Flutterpaw, and took out a claw that looked like a sunset. She poked at Flutterpaw with it. “Well then get up!” she yelled.

“Did you see that claw?” asked Dashpaw

Rareleaf slapped Setclaw away. “She needs her rest.” Rareleaf yowled. “Now get out of her!” She went to work on some herbs, when Dashpaw and Applepaw walked up. “Is Setclaw gone?” Dashpaw and Applepaw nodded, and she looked at them. Thanks what are . . . .”

“Can’t you just get out of here?” Rareleaf yowled. “How am I supposed to work if cats keep bugging me?” She points to the door, and they leave.

They saw a larger cat in the kit den. Her tail was big, pink, and fluffy. She gasps.

“I’ve never seen you here before, and that means you’re new, and that means I’ve never seen you here before, and, wait I just said that!” she said it directly at Dashpaw. Dashpaw smiled meekly.

Applepaw pointed to some kits. “Those are Pinkiefurs kits, Browniekit, and Redkit.” Pinkiefur kissed her two male kit. There were about three more kits Twilightkit, Starkit, and Bookkit. Twilightkit was brown, and a brown and pink tail. Dashpaw smiled and they walk over to the apprentice den.

“That’s where we sleep.” She said as she pointed inside the old, small den. The dust went up into Dashpaw’s nose, and she sneezed. Applepaw laughed, and she brought Dashpaw to the elder den. She slowly looked inside to see a couple of elders inside. She looked at the elders, as they ate their share.

“Hello there new kit.” Said an elder cat. “My names Snowblind.” She was a blind cat that was blue with a white and blue tail.

“Hi.” Said Dashpaw.

“So Snowblind? Who do you think is going to be the new deputy?” said a taller cat.

“What!?” she yelled. The tall cat groaned and yelled bacl.

“Your hearing is going out like you eyesight, WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT DEPUTY!” he yelled again.

“I remember when Purpletail became deputy, and she was so excited.” she said as if she was trying to change the subject.

“So, Dashpaw? Have you tried a fresh killed mouse?” asked Applepaw. Dashpaw shook her head. “Well here is!” Dashpaw dipped her head, and took a bite of the delicious mouse. Dashpaw’s mouth watered from the amazing mouse.

“That is so awesome!” she yelled after she swallowed it. She slowly dipped into another one.

Applepaw giggled. “Well then move over.” She ate with Dashpaw, when suddenly Sunstar called for all the cats.

“All the cats old enough to catch their own prey, please come to Castle Rock!” the cats pounced over, and they looked around to see what’s going on. “Now as you know.” She took time to sniff up her nose. “Purpletail is dead. She was a great deputy, and I will miss her. Please come to have her last moments with her.” Dashpaw looked at all the cats around Purpletal.

Dashpaw looked at Applepaw. “Should we go over there?” asked Dashpaw.

“No. Only the cats who knew her as long as her apprentice did.” She looked over to the small shivering cat on the ground. “Yea, Featherpaw will be sad.” The little kitten was sitting right next to Purpletail. Dashpaw saw her tears falling to the sandy ground.

“So what’s going on?” she asked.

“Well Purpletail might already be in Lunarclan, but,”

Dashpaw cut her off. “Lunarclan?”

Applepaw giggles. “Yea, you see those craters?” Dashpaw looks at the moon, and there is a cat face that she always sees. Then she sees more little craters inside it. Then she saw one little sparkle in the moon, and then another little crater came in. She saw the cats eyes furrow down as if she were mad, but happy-mad. Her eyes shone, and she turned back into just craters.

“Yes.” said Dashpaw.

“Well Purpletail just joined, as you can see. She is that bigger crater.” She pointed to one of the biggest crater. “That’s her.” Dashpaw smiled. She saw all the cats that died.

“What’s with the cat in the middle?” she asked.

“Oh that’s Lunamoon. She is Sunstars sister. She was locked away in the moon, when she declared she wanted eternal night. She became Nightline. She was sent to the moon ever since.”

Dashpaw has heard of Nightline. She was terrifying. Lightning told her, and she did not believe her until then. The little kittens chased after each other, over to her and she patted their heads. She slowly flew around the little den, and she saw all the kits, apprentices, and warriors running.

“Where’s our den?” Dashpaw asks, forgetting where it was. Applepaw pointed to the little den again. Dashpaw goes inside, and the dust is sent up her nose. She sneezes again, and then a kit about her age walks in.

“Ugh.” He said. “What’s that smell? Oh, it’s the kitty-pet. Yea you sleep wherever you want. As long as it’s not next to me.” He laid on his two front paws, and slept.

“It’s OK. That’s Soarpaw, he’s just jealous you are an apprentice and you’re a kitty-pet.” Dashpaw’s brows furrowed.

“WAS a kitty-pet.” She said, and she slowly went to the other side of the den. She slept, and dreamed of tomorrow. The day training would start.
