Chapter 1

"Leafkit!" Breezepaw was coming up to him frantically. "What?" Leafkit gave him a devoid of emotion look. "Splashclaw wants you for a moment!" Leafkit's spirits rose at the name. "All right." He quickly ran off to the medicine cat den. Once he came in, Splashclaw looked at him, So far the only one who wouldn't jump in surprise was Splashclaw. He sighed but smiled at Leafkit. "So far, your a better medicine cat apprentice than Breezepaw ya'know!" "What do you need help with now?" Leafkit had gone to the medicine cat den to help more than any other cat in camp of course other than Splashclaw so far. "I need you help with Foxpaw and Cloudfurs injuries. Breezepaw kept giving me the opposite of what I wanted." Leafkit nodded and went over to Foxpaws leg and sniffed at the injury. "It's infected. Can you pass me that?" He pointed to the pile of herbs at the edge of the den. "You using this?" He asked as he passed it to Leafkit. "Yes, It'll help with the pain while still getting rid of the infection quicker, you just need to put cobweb on it afterward." He added. Splashclaw looked at him amazed, so did Foxpaw and Cloudfur. "You know more than me by now, and your not even an apprentice yet." Leafkit shrugged but continued healing the leg. Cloudfur continued to stare at him amazed until he flashed her a glance to tell her to stop, which she did immediately. "It's to bad that medicine cat apprentice is already filled, you would've been the next medicine cat for sure." Leafkit scent her a glare for that. "You know I'm both good at stalking, fighting, and herbs. I wouldn't be able to fight if I was medicine cat." That earned him a glare from Foxpaw, but he got those a lot from him anyway. He sighed. "You know what I mean Foxpaw." Foxpaw shrugged and looked away. "How your still a kit I will never know. Your like a grown up tom inside, but still a kit on the outside." "He'll be an apprentice soon, but then he'll be more like a medicine cat and a warrior combined at that point." Splashclaw noted out loud. "We'll see about that, now wont we?" Blackscar said as she walked into the medicine cat den. "Spotted the ones who did this yet?" Leafkit questioned immediately, know if he didn't she'd be here forever. "Now, now, you know were trying our hardest to find out who did it, including the bordering clan since their being attacked also." Leafkit sighed. "At this point, the bordering clan is going to blame the attacks on us, and into battle we'll go." Foxpaw tried to get up but winced at the pain. "Sit down. It'll take less time if you rest." Leafkit said at he finished on Cloudfur. "But they have no evidence!" Cloudfur yelped in worry. "So what? They'll come up with something, they will, just watch!" Leafkit growled back before stalking out of the medicine cat den, being done with work. "Sometimes I think he's his father re-made, don't you, Splashclaw?" Blackscar nodded "Indeed, he's almost exactly the same, same eyes,same personality, same everything. I wonder when he'll figure out that he's not Owlfangs son?" Cloudfur watched Leafkit walk off before commenting, "Who knows? He may have already figured it out." Foxpaw looked confused. "Owlfang's not his father?" Blackscar chuckled. "No Foxpaw, he is not. Leafkit's father was killed a moon before you became an apprentice, the same time as when Lightkit, Treekit, and Soaringkit were born, he was born almost a few minutes after them, luckily, we were able to slip him in with the kits, making them think they are his siblings." "Who's his real parents?" Splashclaw frowned at this and reluctantly spoke up. "I'm his real father, but his mother I'd rather someone else tell you instead of me." Foxpaw looked surprised, but then again, a medicine cat's son? A sigh escaped Blackscar. "His mother was a very pretty she-cat named Rainfeather. She came from the enemy clan, buts since it was the enemy clan, she tried to escape from her clan and come over to OakClan, but... All we found was her kit, Leafkit. We don't know if she's alive or dead." With a sigh, Splashclaw nodded and turned to Foxpaw. "Don't tell him, and you should be fine now, go back to your den and rest though." They all left Splashclaw in the den, thinking, "Is she alive?"
