Chapter 18 The bushes parted and revealed Nightpaw. He looked at me with wide eyes and then focused on Leafpool, who smiled happily.
“Nightpaw! My you’ve grown!” she exclaimed. Nightpaw flattened his ears and backed away from her.
“Who are you?” he snarled.
Leafpool looked wounded. She gazed sadly at me. “You didn’t tell him?”
I opened my mouth but Nightpaw stopped me. “Tell me what?”
I sighed, “That I’m your father and this here is your mother, Leafpool.”
Nightpaw shook his head wildly, “No that isn’t true! My mother is Whitetail!”
I flattened my ears, “Its true, Nightpaw. Have you noticed you look nothing like them? You have my blue eyes and dark gray pelt.”
Leafpool bobbed her head sadly. “I chose to give you away to your father. If you stayed with me then you would know Featherkit and Graykit.”
I whispered to her, “They aren’t apprentices, yet?” She shook her head.
“They will be tonight after we eat.” She explained. Nightpaw looked down at the ground.
I stepped forward to comfort him but he whipped his tail at me. “Leave me alone!” he sobbed.
I sighed, “I should have told him sooner.” Leafpool slid her muzzle under my chin.
“Crowfeather, he was bound to know sooner or later, I just hope he doesn’t hate us.”

Chapter 19 I bounced with excitement. I was finally going to become an apprentice! Graykit, Flamekit, and Peachkit were just as excited Leafpool told me earlier about Crowfeather being Graykit and my father.
I was confused for a while. The cat I loved was my father? I shook the perplexing thoughts out of my head as Firestar called the meeting.
He called Peachkit first. “Peachkit from this moment on you’ll be known as Peachpaw. Your mentor will be Sandstorm.” Sandstorm briskly walked forward and gently touched noses with Peachpaw.
Flamekit was next. “Flamekit until you receive your warrior name, you’ll be known as Flamepaw. Your mentor will be Cloudtail.” Cloudtail grinned at Flamepaw and touched noses with him.
“Graykit, come forward.” Firestar meowed. Graykit strolled forward and stared up at Firestar. “From this moment on you’ll be known as Graypaw. Your mentor will be Squirrelflight. Squirrelflight, Graypaw is your first apprentice. Dustpelt was your mentor and I hope you pass on everything you learned from him to Graypaw.”
Squirrelflight nodded and touched noses with my brother. I knew I was next. My heart banged violently against my chest. Firestar smiled encouragingly.
“Featherkit, you’ll be known as Featherpaw. Your mentor will be…” Firestar looked around and I knew that he was making me wait. I was so nervous, why couldn’t he just get on with it?
Firestar chuckled, “Graystripe is your mentor.” I shivered with excitement. Graystripe was deputy and I remembered him very well when I lived in RiverClan. He was my father when I lived as Feathertail! Graystripe looked blissful as he touched noses with me. “Graypaw! Peachpaw! Flamepaw! Featherpaw!” the Clan chanted happily.
Firestar dismissed the Clan. Graystripe told me to go and get to know Berrypaw, Mousepaw, Birchpaw, and Hazelpaw. I nodded and raced along with Flamepaw, Peachpaw, and Graypaw to the apprentices’ den.

Chapter 20 I watched Nightpaw, as he looked at me ready to pounce. I anticipated his move and dodged him as he leaped for my back.
I shook my head. “Your eyes betrayed where you where going to leap. Try again.”
Nightpaw tensed and narrowed his eyes. I smirked at him as he hissed threateningly. He sprung and scooped my legs out with his front paws. I collapsed and his flipped me over and put a paw on my neck.
I nodded pleased with him. “Okay that’s enough for today. Let’s go ahead and go back to camp.” Nightpaw puffed and bowed his head.
We were silent all the way back to camp. I pricked my ears as I heard something faint in the distance. I widened my eyes as I recognized the sounds of cats fighting.
“Come on Nightpaw!” I said and sped off towards camp with Nightpaw trailing behind me. As we arrived, I saw ThunderClan locked in battle with my Clan. What was going on? Firestar and Onestar were friends!
An apprentice crashed into Nightpaw and I watched them battle until a cat bowled into me. I recognized Ashfur and spat in his face. “What’s going on? WindClan hasn’t done anything to you!”
Ashfur growled, “One of your cats killed Spiderleg!” He ripped at my fur with his claws. I yowled in anger.
“We did no such thing! WindClan are not killers!” I snarled. I returned with a claw against his face. Ashfur howled and sped off.
I leapt on another cat that had Onestar cornered. It was Brambleclaw. We locked eyes for a moment and I saw sorrow in his eyes.
“I didn’t want this to happen, Crowfeather. It’s just that we’re angry about Spiderleg’s death.” Brambleclaw nodded and leapt away into the mass of raging cats.
I looked around and spotted Nightpaw under a familiar gray ThunderClan she-cat apprentice. She raised her claws and prepared to bring them down on his throat.
“Stop! He’s your brother!” I cried. The gray apprentice looked up into my eyes.
Her blue eyes locked with mine and her mouth dropped open as she muttered, “Crowfeather?” I froze as her voice reached my ears.
‘It couldn’t be…” I whispered.

Chapter 21 I was shocked as I stared into Crowfeather’s eyes. I barely heard myself said, “Crowfeather?”
I watched as his face turned into astonishment. I looked down at my brother who was staring incredulously up at me. I let him up and he slowly backed away to Crowfeather’s side.
Crowfeather took a step towards me. “Feathertail? I-t it c-couldn’t be!” I smiled and nodded.
“Yes Crowfeather its me. StarClan decided that I should have another chance to live.” He blinked and then swayed on his paws.
Crowfeather’s POV I couldn’t believe my daughter was Feathertail! I felt myself sway on my paws. Nightpaw steadied me. I shook my head clear.
“How?” I whispered. I could faintly hear the cries of battle behind me. Featherpaw touched my nose.
“I love you but StarClan chose me to come back in your daughter’s body. It be awkward if we were mates, don’t you think?” she said.
My ears flattened with disappointment. “Yeah, I understand Feathertail, er Featherpaw.”
She smiled and flicked my ears, “I want to be here with you but I’m destined to grow up in ThunderClan. I’ll try to visit you by the border and at the gatherings. Ok?”
I opened my mouth to speak but a ThunderClan warrior crashed into me. Featherpaw looked on with horror in her eyes.
I looked into the eyes of the ThunderClan leader himself, Firestar.

Chapter 22 “Crowfeather,” Firestar whispered. “One of the chosen cats.” I slowly nodded.
Suddenly as if something hit him he opened his mouth and yowled to his clan to retreat. He nodded to me and spun off. Suddenly I heard a mournful yowl.
I whirled around to see Onestar standing over a motionless body. The body was my mother, Ashfoot. I howled with grief and ran over to her.
My mother whispered, “Crowfeather, I’m proud to call you my son and Nightpaw my grandson.”
When I widened my eyes she smiled, “I knew those eyes from anywhere. He’ll grow up to be a fine warrior.” She feebly attempted to lick my cheek and bent down so she could reach. She turned to Onestar, “I’m proud to have served WindClan. Don’t send Crowfeather away for breaking the code. He loved Leafpool just like I loved Deadfoot. StarClan is calling to me. Goodbye Crowfeather, I’ll watch over you always.”
She took her last breath and then laid still. I threw back my head and yowled mournfully. I buried my nose deep into her fur then looked up at Onestar. “Who did this?” Onestar looked at the ground. “Ashfur.” I snarled with extreme rage.
Onestar tried to comfort me by putting his tail on my shoulder. I hissed and he yanked it away, quickly. “I should flay him alive! He killed my mother for StarClan’s sake!”
Nightcloud brushed against me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I raced out of the clearing. Nightcloud called for me to come back but Onestar told her to let me be alone.
I ran until I got to the border with ThunderClan. I knelt down and drank until my belly was full. I flattened my ears in anger and lashed out at the water.
I heard a chuckle, “That’s no way to treat the water.” I looked up and saw Featherpaw. I tried to smile but I was too distressed.
Featherpaw noticed my sorrowful face and crossed the lake to my side. “What’s wrong?” she asked gently.
I sighed, “My mother was killed by Ashfur.” Featherpaw’s eyes widened first with shock then sadly.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know Silverstream when she died but I missed her all the same.” Featherpaw licked my head and purred.
“We better get back to our Clans,” I said. “Onestar will be naming the deputy at moonhigh.” Featherpaw nodded and licked me on the ear and splashed across the lake. I turned and ambled back to camp.

Chapter 23 I trotted back to camp still grieving for my mother. I looked for my mother’s body and saw in lying in the middle of the camp with Onestar and Tornear around her.
I trotted over noiselessly and knelt beside her. I felt fur brush against me and turned my head and saw Nightpaw.
He nodded sadly and sat next to me. Onestar left to his den, most likely to think about choosing the new deputy. Tornear licked Ashfoot’s fur in farewell.
In what seemed like nine lifetimes, Onestar came back out and leapt on the Highbranch. He didn’t have call because everyone was already in the clearing.
“It is time to chose a new deputy. I say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our ancestors, and Ashfoot’s spirit may hear and approve my choice.” Some cats turned and looked at me.
He looked around and took a deep breath. “Tornear will be the new deputy of WindClan.” Some cats gasped in surprise and looked at Tornear then at me.
Tornear leapt next to Onestar. “I would love to be your deputy, Onestar but I’m getting on in my years so I am going to retire to the elders. Onestar widened his eyes then dipped his head to Tornear.
“If that is your wish, Tornear may the rest of your years be filled with peace and rest. He rested his head on Tornear’s shoulder.
“Tornear! Tornear! Tornear!” everyone chanted. Onestar waved for silence.
“Well, I haven’t forgotten this cat lead WindClan to its new home. I think this cat is worthy of being the new deputy. Crowfeather is the new deputy of WindClan!”
Everyone howled his or her approval. Nightpaw yowled the loudest. “Crowfeather! Crowfeather!”
I leaped next to Onestar. “I promise I’ll do my best to serve the Clan well.” Onestar nodded.
I jumped off the Highbranch and padded over to Nightpaw. “Thank you for your support, Nightpaw, it means a lot. We’ll train more tomorrow.”
Nightpaw smiled, “You’re my dad. Of course I support you.” I smiled in return and headed to the warriors den for some well-earned sleep.
