IC:
-The day after a huge battle-

I yawned as soon as I awoke. My wounds were still fresh, and I hated those rogue flea-bags. That battle was worse than when I left Bloodclan! Dove came up to me and nuzzled my forehead, not daring to touch my sides. She whispered," Striker's waiting for you!" Quickly, I stood up," My son! That's right, I nearly forgot, thank you Dove."

FYI~ Striker is Silver and Ash's kit, even though he looks nothing like them. Though Silver was a loner and she died shortly after Ash became leader of the Raiders, about two moons ago.

My eyes flickered open as the morning sun came up. All the apprentices stayed in the same building, and no one ever talked to me. It's probably because I'm is the eldest apprentice, and the first helping leader's soon-to-be apprentice. Although it's near time for me to be accepted as a full-apprentice, I still have the same duty, awaking the leaders. Quickly, I forced myself to my paws and dragged myself to the high building. Wishing I could fly, I raced up the stairs, making sure not to step on anything weird.

FYI~ She has no relation to Ash or Striker, but is referred to often as the 'Younger Sister' of all the leaders.

My dream was of mother. A striking, silver-tabby, as gorgeous as the moon and stars. How did she die? Father never told me how, he just said she," Went to join the silver stars." Why did I not get to know about her?! It's so unfair! I am already four moons old, soon to be an apprentice! Soon enough, I will be as strong as daddy! He spends more time out in the woods than with me! I think I know why though...

FYI~ He is referring to Ash visiting the kits that he and Silver had raised in place of the kits' dead mother.

My paws led me down the tall building, and as I reached the exit, felt a menacing presence. I flickered my eyes in the direction of the forest, my jaws bearing a grim, growling look. Remembering Striker, I paused, and then thought, deal with the threat first, then go see my son.

Dad tells me he will come down every morning, but when will he today? My eyes are already open and I'm ready to explore! I let my paws lift me up, though I was still bad at walking, but I managed a jog-run. In five minutes, I reached the tallest tower, and saw daddy," Daddy!" I cried, leaping my scrawny--weak legs to get to him.

My eyes flashed as I watched the leader dart down the stairs," A-Ash!" I cried as his wounds seemed about to open. " W-Wait!" Then I remembered the other leaders needed waking up, and I hurried to get to Felix, waking him up gently," Good morning! It's Dove." I was still concerned, but my job took more concern than his wounds.

I flinched as the pressing cobwebs seemed to enter my wound and hissed," They don't even hurt! Why do I need to let them heal?" My eyes flashed with annoyance and pride. Quickly I looked at Striker," Hey little one! What are you doing up here? You're walking?" Pride stayed in my eyes as I watched him, my little kit.

" I was waiting and couldn't wait any longer!" My tail wagged like a dog's as I waited for him to finish getting dressed with cobwebs. Quickly, I staggered around dad, looking at his wounds and scars," Dad, you're really strong, right? Why do you have so many scars? They look painful, but cool!"

That menacing presence," What are you doing here, loner?" My eyes flickered with an ounce of patience as I saw the potential threat. Quickly I said," We're waiting to heal our wounds, and then attack our enemy, for revenge." Tail flicking, I shooed away Striker, whom of which I saw ran slowly back to the building he stayed in. This she-cat reminded me of Silver, so much in the way she spoke and moved.

" Dad, who is that cat? Why is she here? How did she get here? Is she like my mom?" The last question made my father flinch, but I wondered, why wouldn't father tell me about mom? His shooing me away made the answer obvious, she's nothing like mother, at least that's what I thought.

I looked at her straight-forwardly," I am Ash, and I see we may become future enemies, but, it's still worth a try. Scar, we are fighting the clan called Royalclan. They have gone too far with their snootiness and self-proclaimed,'justice'. Royalclan killed one of our cats, and we got into a battle. After that, now, here we are!" My eyes gazed into her seemingly unfailing ones.

I looked back at dad and crawled behind a building to watch, dad thought I would go back silently, but I will be just like him! Or... mom... maybe! My eyes glittered as I watched the she-cat and dad. Noticing the new-found peace, I walked out, there's nothing to fear. " Dad, who is she?" The words made his father flick around and growl," Striker,this isn't the time, the Higher-Ups have important things to discuss. So why don't you go back to your nest?" Dad's eyes flickered with worry and the kit took that as his final warning. " You'll come visit me later, right?" Eyes watching his every movement, saw him nod his head, and so I darted off, wobbling as I went.
