Jadewhisper bowed her head to the Stormclan leader. "Yes. All five of my kits except my beloved Spoolkit." she said shakily. "Too much Stormclan blood has been spilled, and Darkclan has to pay. The bonds between the clans must rise again."
Foxtail looked on, utter horror stirring beneath his pelt. How could Jadewhisper do such a thing?! They weren't just her kits!
Bloodstar growled. "Jadewhisper, are you out of your mind?! These are our future apprentices! You can't give them up like you would a mouse tail!" he hissed.
Jadewhisper's gaze rested upon her leader, eyes glazed with anger. "Watch me." she said, speaking her personality in those two words.
Foxtail looked away from Jadewhisper, rage almost towering over the love and admiration he felt for his mate. He admired her for giving up her kits, but rage that he had had no say in the decision. He had one hope: Nightstar. If she rejected this offer, he was half tempted to bow to the Stormclan leader and shower her with the best praises one cat could give another. Half tempted.
Crowheart blinked. "But your kits are almost ready to become apprentices, we don't have enough warriors to mentor them all." he put in. "Unless we were to make Blisspaw, Orangepaw and Cherrypaw warriors.
Featherpaw raised an eyebrow. "You do realize that Owlpaw left the clans with Blisspaw, right?" she said, as if it were obvious information every cat should know.
Bloodstar cursed. "Now we have even less apprentices." he hissed under his breath. He couldn't let Jadewhisper give up his clan's future!
Dogkit nuzzled Spoolkit. "I'm excited to be an apprentice. I hope Rocketpaw becomes my mentor! Last time he came home from battle, he was covered in scratches! That means he's good right? Who do you want for a mentor?" he asked.
Heartkit replied for Dogkit. "I want Nightcloud to be my mentor." she said.
"Are you mouse-brained?" said Dogkit, "She's a medicine cat! You'd never be able to take a mate or have kits! That's a terrible fate for any she-cat. I wish I could have kits someday." said Dogkit.
Heartkit looked to Ravenkit, ignoring her brrother's rude comment. "What about you Ravenkit?" she asked.
Owlpaw thought for a second. "I think your name should be... Blissheart" he said, "Because you're sweet, loving, and loyal too. I doubt any other she-cat in the universe would gie up their clan for me." he said with a laugh.
Applekit sat in the nursery. "Momma?" she asked, looking around. She was alone. She didn't mind. She should get used to it, almost being an apprentice. She would be Sparkfire's apprentice. Excitement teamed through her paws at the thought.
Hazelfur stood behind her leader, tensed to fight, even though it was evident that the battle was over. She was shocked at Jadewhisper's offer. She hoped Nightstar accepted. Maybe She would make Canis a warrior and she'd get a normal apprentice.
