Chapter 1
This is from Dovekit's POV
_________________________________________________________

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Firestar called.
"Ivykit! Wake up!" Dovekit squealed. "Firestar's announcing a Clan meeting!"
"Okay, okay, Dovekit, I'm coming!" retorted a drowsy Ivykit.
Dovekit bounded over to the Highledge. Ivykit closely followed. Firestar began to speak:
"I know all of you are offset by the death of Hollyleaf, but Clan life must continue. Although we can not bury her, we will hold a vigil for her tonight. I want Brackenfur to organize a dawn patrol to go along the ShadowClan border. Brambleclaw, will you organize a hunting patrol?" Brambleclaw nodded. "Good. But before you go, I shall have the honor to preform one of my favorite duties. Bumblekit, Briarkit, Blossomkit, will you come forward?" The kits ran forward. "That will be us when we are old enough" Ivykit whispered to Dovekit. Dovekit smiled. Firestar continued: "As kits of Graystripe, I know you will do well in serving your Clan." He paused to smile, then carried on: "Bumblekit, from this moment until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Bumblepaw. Lionblaze, you will be mentor to Bumblepaw. This will be your first apprentice. I trust you to pass on all you learned from Ashfur as well as your own skills onto this apprentice. Briarkit, from this moment on you will be known as Briarpaw. Sorreltail, you will be mentor to Briarpaw. You have a learned a lot from your experiences as a warrior. I know you will be a great mentor to Briarpaw. Blossomkit, from this moment on you will be known as Blossompaw. Graystripe, you mentored Brackenfur to be a great warrior, and I am positive you will do the same with your daughter, Blossompaw. All of ThunderClan chanted their names, most loudly Dovekit and Ivykit. "Bumblepaw! Briarpaw! Blossompaw!" Dovekit knew from that experience that she would have to be the greatest warrior she could.

Could I get some comments please? Thanks!
Chapter 2
This leads up to Dovekit's Power!!! Still Dovekit's POV
____________________________________________________________________
Dovekit yawned and curled up in the nursery next to Ivykit. It had been a long day, though not really for Dovekit and Ivykit, who had mostly stayed in the nursery. Dovekit played with the idea that she and her sister should go on an adventure. She shook the thought off her mind, and drifted off to sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dovekit found herself on the island, where she heard Gatherings were held. She looked around and saw starry cats. The only dead cat Dovekit knew was Hollyleaf, but Dovekit couldn't find her among the starry ranks. What was she here for? Suddenly, a blue-furred cat stepped forward and introduced herself. "Welcome, Dovekit. I am Bluestar." "Am I dead?" Dovekit interrupted, anxious. "No," Bluestar continued. "Have you heard of the prophecy?" "No" Dovekit admitted. "An ancient cat told your leader Firestar that: There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws." The blue cat paused for Dovekit to nod, then continued: "Jayfeather and Lionblaze are part of this prophecy. The third cat- is you, Dovekit." Dovekit was in shock. She was to hold the power of the stars in her paws? It didn't make sense to her. "It might be a little overwhelming at first," Bluestar realized. "But you will have the ability, along with Jayfeather and Lionblaze, to lead the Clans out of these dark times. Tell Jayfeather and Lionblaze that I told you you were the third, but do not speak a word to any other cat, not even Firestar, just yet. You will meet me tomorrow in your dreams and we will show you your powers." Dovekit blinked in amazement, and then she woke up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I must save the Clans" Dovekit whispered to herself. "I am the third!"

[sandy12]

Cool. 'Tis good Shadow (may I call you that?) XX

[shadowvisions]

Yeah, everyone calls me Shadow lol
thx for the comment!

Never fear, Chapter 3 is here!
Ivykit's POV!

Ivykit was pacing back and forth in the nursery waiting for Dovekit to wake up. They just had to do something. Although they were nearing six moons and apprenticeship, it was quite boring sleeping in the nursery. When at last Dovekit rose and stretched, Ivykit padded over to her. Dovekit looked drowsy, but Ivykit began: "Dovekit, staying in the nursery is boring. Let's go do something!" But Dovekit didn't hear; she was pondering over something. "Dovekit!" Ivykit whined. "Listen!" Right now we are useless to the Clan! Let's sneak out and hunt!" Dovekit looked uneasy, but finally nodded and responded: "But be careful!" "Your the one who needs to be careful!" Ivykit retorted. With that they slipped out of the door.

Dovekit and Ivykit had just escaped into the brambles, after sneaking by Brackenfur and Hazeltail. But as they brushed their pelts through the thicket, Dovekit was staring at Jayfeather and Lionblaze, who seemed to be chatting about something important. "What do want with them?" questioned Ivykit, who had obviously noticed. "I... I need to talk to them.." Dovekit stuttered. Ivykit was suspicious, but responded: "Fine, but make it quick! We must feed the Clan!" Dovekit turned and nodded, then padded away to join Lionblaze and Jayfeather.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN CHAPTER FOUR??

[shadowvisions]

CHAPTER 4!!!!
(DUN DUN DUN)
Ivykit's POV(hehehe)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Dovekit was out of earshot, Ivykit snuck into the trees, taking an alternate route around to where Lionblaze and Jayfeather were. Ivykit could see them talking, but they couldn't. Ivykit couldn't help herself to not listen to their conversation. "Be serious, Lionblaze, we know it's either Ivykit or Dovekit! We just have to find out which- and fast!" Ivykit was confused. Jayfeather and Lionblaze needed to find out something about her or her sister. Then she got worried- was that possibly what Dovekit needed to talk to them about? Ivykit leaned in closer to catch it all: "I know Jayfeather, but-- Hey, is that Dovekit there? Ask her if she's had any weird dreams or something!" Lionblaze was correct- Dovekit was now sitting next to the warrior and medicine cat. "Jayfeather... Lionblaze... I need to tell you something... you know the prophecy- right?" Dovekit began. "Yes! Go on!" Lionblaze blurted out. "Shut up!" Jayfeather nudged Lionblaze. "Let her speak" he continued, nodding at Dovekit. "Well, I had this weird dream where Bluestar told me a prophecy, I was a part of it, and to only tell you two." She paused. "I'm a bit concerned" Dovekit finished. Lionblaze let his jaw drop in excited astonishment, and even Jayfeather showed a quick grin. Ivykit was amazed- how could her sister tell them and not her? How could she be so important? It was a little much to handle. Jayfeather broke the silence: "Good. Do not tell anyone, and tell us if anything new happens. Okay?" Dovekit slowly nodded yes. She padded back to the nursery, totally forgetting about Ivykit and hunting. Ivykit didn't care. She just curled up behind the brambles, and let the jealousy overtake her. Jayfeather and Lionblaze had just taken her sister away.

Oooooohhh... A cliffhanger. Dovekit's power is revealed in the next chapter- and Ivykit's personality is starting to take shape. Comment!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 5- Hooray!
Dovekit's POV!

Dovekit padded into the nursery and curled up next to the wall- but she was too excited to go to sleep. But she had to- it was the only way Bluestar could give her her powers! While rethinking the conversation with Jayfeather and Lionblaze, she remembered with a jolt she forgot to go hunting with Ivykit! Even though it was against the warrior code, she had looked forward to the experience, and shook off the thought as she drowsed off to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dovekit found herself on the island, surrounded by starry cats. Bluestar stepped forward. "Are you ready to know and receive your power?" she asked. "Ye-Yes" Dovekit managed. "Good. Dovekit- you will be granted the nine lives of a leader." Dovekit stared in amazement as Bluestar continued: "But there is a catch- a good one. If another cat is on it's way to join us, you may give up one of your lives to save it. Dovekit- you must use this power wisely. Are you ready to receive your nine lives?" Dovekit hesitated- then nodded yes. With that, Bluestar stepped back into the starry ranks. A queen she had never before seen stepped forward to greet her. "I am Brindleface. I was slaughtered by Tigerstar when the dogs came. I give you the gift of honesty." With that, more cats stepped forward: "I am Swiftpaw, and I too was killed by dogs. I give you the gift of loyalty." "I am Shrewpaw, killed by the Twoleg monsters. I give you the gift of compassion." "I am Frostfur. I did not go on the Great Journey, and starved. I give you the gift of kindness." "I am Speckletail. I stayed behind with Frostfur. I give you the gift of understanding." "I am Honeyfern, killed by a snake. I give you the gift of wisdom." "I am Yellowfang, an old medicine cat. I give you the gift to be clever." "I am Spottedleaf, the medicine cat before Yellowfang. I give you the gift of bravery." Finally Bluestar stepped forward. "I, Bluestar, give you the gift of curiosity. Although you have the nine lives of a leader, you must still rise through your Clans ranks. Use your power wisely." Bluestar finished, and it was all gone.


Comment on how you liked it- Chapter 6 will be up soon.

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 6!
Dovekit's POV... These kits will be apprentices soon!
______________________________________________________________________
Dovekit felt something brushing against her pelt. It was Ivykit, prodding her awake. "NOW we are going hunting." She announced. "Fine," replied Dovekit."Just let me get up" With that the two kits scrambled out of the nursery. Ivykit was acting a bit strange today, being so demanding, but Dovekit countered the idea by proving that she was upset about not hunting yesterday. At last the sisters reached the edge of the clearing. Dovekit scented mouse, and Ivykit was already blazing after it. The mouse was quick, but Ivykit easily caught up and killed it with a swipe. "You try" Ivykit added, smugly. Dovekit was nervous- she didn't know anything about hunting! Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a vole. Dovekit tried to crouch down, then gave chase on the vole. Almost instantly, she tripped and fell. Ivykit burst out in mocking laughter. "You're so pathetic..." Ivykit began. "And you're part of a prophecy? Obviously StarClan doesn't care a mouse tail who they pick! Maybe if I kill you now, it might knock a little sense into them, huh sis? Dovekit started to mew in disbelief and protest, but it was too late. Ivykit delivered the killing bite, and everything went black.


Ooooh... cliffhanger! Don't worry guys, she has 8 lives left!(Not that Ivykit knows, lol)
Ivykit- The little traitor lol!

People- Tell me what you think!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 7- Ivykit's POV(Notice the pattern? 2 Dove, 2 Ivy, 2 Dove, and now 2 Ivy!... Don't worry, we will see some others!)
_____________________________________________________________________
Ivykit gasped. Did she just really kill her sister? It felt weird... like it wasn't just her killing Dovekit. Ivykit looked up into the sky, and knew she would be in big trouble. Unless she thought of a plan. She sat there for a while... thinking... looking at her sister's blood. Ivykit would have to make up her death. She turned around and padded into Leafpool's den.

"Leafpool! Leafpool!" Ivykit cried, trying to act quite concerned. "What is it?" Leafpool asked. Get Jayfeather. I must keep doing apprentice duties. "There is no time!" Ivykit retorted. "A fox got Dovekit when we were exploring!" Leafpool gaped at Ivykit, then ran as fast as she could to Dovekit's scent. Ivykit followed chase. When they got to the spot where Dovekit's body lay, they found lots of blood, but the most amazing thing was that Dovekit was staring at her, as well as any cat, her eyes narrowed.

"You're alive!" Ivykit cried, trying to sound happy and surprised. "I thought you were dead!" "I pretty much was." Dovekit admitted, not shifting her gaze. "Let's get you to my den." Leafpool finalized. "I'm fine!" Dovekit protested, but continue to Leafpool's den.

Chapter 8 soon!
Also, with each chapter, I update the Allegiances. Useful if you are confused!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 8! I hope your enjoying this! Still Ivykit's POV
_____________________________________________________________________
"Dovekit will be okay" Leafpool mewed to Ivykit. She then looked up to the sky. It's getting late, Ivykit. You should be heading back to the nursery." "You're not my mother!" retorted Ivykit. Leafpool narrowed her eyes: "I am your medicine cat- in which you listen to." Frustrated, Ivykit obeyed, muttering to herself about Dovekit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivykit found herself in a forest, obviously at night. She turned her gaze around. There- she saw a cat- his eyes gleaming as he stepped forward. "Hello, little one. I have seen your true ambition. I have seen your determination. That is why I am here- to train you. I am Tigerstar- the greatest warrior ever to have roamed the Clans." He began. Ivykit was astonished- Tigerstar would train her? "We will begin when you are an apprentice. But I wouldn't worry- you won't have long to wait." Tigerstar smirked. With that, Ivykit woke out of the dream.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivykit still couldn't believe her luck- Tigerstar wanted to be her mentor! Who cares about that stupid prophecy Dovekit was involved in? It would all be over when she was finished training! A cry from the Highledge woke her from her thoughts: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" It was Firestar. Ivykit knew Tigerstar was right- she would be an apprentice.

Uh Oh- It's Tigerstar- AHHHHHH!!!
Also, they will become apprentices!

AAANNNDDD... If someone happens to actually read this- I will put up a poll after the next chapter for people to guess Ivykit and Dovekit's warrior names!(Yes, I already know them!)
Yay...

[shadowvisions]

Okay, I put the poll up anyway!
You have 10 days!
8 choices... then the answer will be revealed at their ceremony!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 9! Dovekit's POV
_____________________________________________________________________
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Firestar's yowl shook the camp. ThunderClan gathered below him. "Today is a good day for ThunderClan" he began, grinning. The cats below yowled in joy. "I would like to begin," Firestar continued, "by removing Squirrelflight and Leafpool from apprentice duties. I trust that they are ready to serve their Clan well again." Squirrelflight seemed happy; Leafpool did not show an expression. "We also have two new warriors. Foxpaw and Icepaw, please step forward. "I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these two apprentices. They have trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. "Foxpaw, Icepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your lives?" "I do" Foxpaw stuttered, and Icepaw managed the words "I do". "Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior names. Foxpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Foxfur. StarClan honors your determination and loyalty. Icepaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Icetail. StarClan honors your compassion and kindness." "Foxfur! Icetail!" the Clan yowled. Dovekit noticed Lionblaze had a paticular interest in Icetail, and wondered where that would lead. "We also have two new apprentices." Firestar announced. "Ivykit and Dovekit, would you step forward?" Dovekit cautiously padded to the front, along with her confident sister Ivykit, who had tried to kill her already. Firestar began: "Ivykit, Dovekit, you have had a rather lucky kithood, but I know you will prove yourselves. Ivykit, from this moment on you will be known as Ivypaw. Thornclaw, you will be mentor to Ivypaw. Pass on all you know to her. Dovekit, from this moment on you will be known as Dovepaw. I will be mentor to Dovepaw. I known she will become a great warrior." Ivypaw seemed relatively happy, Dovepaw was beaming. She had Firestar as a mentor! Everything was going great- except the fact that her sister was trying to kill her.

Yay, apprentices! VOTE IN THE POLL^^^!!!
Allegiances updated! Yes, Lionblaze likes Icetail! And don't worry... there's a battle soon!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 10
_________________________________________
Firestar read off a list of cats going to the Gathering: "Squirrelflight, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Whitewing, Thornclaw, Spiderleg, Birchfall, Cinderheart, Poppyfrost, Lionblaze, Foxfur, Icetail, Bumblepaw, Briarpaw, Blossompaw, Dovepaw, Ivypaw". Dovepaw was excited; this would be her first Gathering! She would be able to meet apprentices from other Clans- and find out some great news, too. Firestar signaled for the cats going to the Gathering, and Dovepaw got in line behind Whitewing. Firestar led them down a trail into WindClan territory, then around the water's edge. At last they crossed the tree bridge onto the island. The leaders bounded up into the lowest branches on the tree; the deputies sat below. Dovepaw went to go find some apprentices to talk to.

In front of a bush Dovepaw could see a group of apprentices, she padded over to greet them. By the scents, she could tell that three of them were RiverClan, and two were WindClan. "Hi, I'm Dovepaw." she mewed. "Hello! I'm Petalpaw." meowed a she-cat. "These are my kin, Pricklepaw and Grasspaw, and our friends from WindClan are Sedgepaw and Swallowpaw. They will be warriors soon!" Petalpaw concluded. Dovepaw was about to sit down and chat, but then she heard Leopardstar's yowl: "The Clans are at peace beneath Silverpelt. It is time for the Gathering to begin!"

This is the 1/4 mark in Book 1!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 11: Now from Ivypaw's POV!
__________________________________________________
Ivypaw turned around when she heard Leopardstar's cry. All the cats turned their attention to her. "We will begin with RiverClan." She began. "We have named four apprentices: Beetlepaw, Pricklepaw, Petalpaw, and Grasspaw. RiverClan has nothing else to report." she mewed, then turned to Blackstar, but he protested: "ShadowClan has nothing to report." Leopardstar turned her gaze to Onestar. "Sunpaw has earned his warrior name and is known as Sunstreak. That is all." Mews of congratulations rose, mostly from WindClan. Onestar nodded to Firestar. "This has been a good moon for ThunderClan." he began. "Five kits are now known as Bumblepaw, Briarpaw, Blossompaw, Dovepaw, and Ivypaw." Ivypaw blinked when she heard her name, then rose to a standing position, and returned to a seat. "We also have two new warriors." Firestar continued. "Foxpaw and Icepaw are now known as Foxfur and Icetail." Again, mews of congrats rose from the cats. "If that is all, this Gathering is now at an end." He finished, then led out his Clan. Ivypaw was sure to get first in line for the journey home.


News, News, News, Blah, Blah, Blah. Chapter 12 coming soon!

[shadowvisions]

Chapter 12=Ivypaw's POV
Training Together(Part 1)

_____________________________________________________________________
Ivypaw woke up and padded from her comfy nest in the apprentice's den. Poppyfrost was leading the dawn patrol along the WindClan border; Lionblaze was taking out a hunting patrol. Thornclaw padded over to Ivypaw and announced: "Firestar wanted to train with us today." Ivypaw shrugged and followed him, but inside she really didn't want to. Once they reached Firestar and Dovepaw, Thornclaw suggested: "Why don't we head along the ShadowClan border?". "Okay." Firestar agreed. The four cats made their way through the undergrowth until they reached the ShadowClan scent markers. "What can you smell?" Firestar questioned the two apprentices. Ivypaw was about to speak, but Dovepaw got there first. "ShadowClan.... and mouse." She answered. "Good." Firestar praised. "Would you like to try and hunt the mouse?" He asked her. "I will!" Ivypaw blurted out. "Okay!" Firestar purred in amusement. "Go ahead." Ivypaw sat in the hunting crouch she had learned, then sprang off. The prey didn't stand a chance as she caught up and pounced on it. The mouse was stunned, and Ivypaw killed it with a swipe. "Very good!" Thornclaw praised, and Firestar mewed agreement. Dovepaw seemed concerned. Ivypaw still couldn't believe Dovepaw was part of a prophecy. Then Ivpaw realized why Dovepaw was concerned. Behind the leader, warrior, and concerned apprentice, was what looked like the whole of ShadowClan, ready to attack. Firestar whirled around to face them in disbelief. Just then, Russetfur yowled the battle cry.
___________________________________________________________________

Uh Oh, a battle! What will happen???
