Entry for contest: Cloverwing

Instructions

Backstory: Cloverwing lives in Treeclan. But she hasn't always lived there in peace with her mate. She was born in Twoleg-place, and she, her sister, and her brother were taken from their birthplace when they were barely old enough to survive without their mother. She was kicked out onto the streets, where she and her siblings almost starved when they were found by Twolegs. They cared for the three kits until they were 5 moons old. Then they were forced to fight other cats, and occasionally each other. They rarely saw each other, and they were practically starved, given only enough food to survive. At one point, her brother tried to escape the Twolegs, but he sadly was caught and beaten to d3ath in front of Cloverwing, then named Spark by the Twolegs because of her spark of resistance, and her sister. Spark then realized that she and her sister were in serious danger and that they needed to escape. She started planning, sharing everything with her sister. When they were 10 moons old, Spark saw her chance. She, her sister, and two other cats that they befriended, started a riot. In all the chaos and confusion, the four cats managed to escape. They wandered around town, keeping in the shadows, until their first leaf-bare. They wandered over to a twoleg den, where their friends were adopted. Spark and Aurora (Spark's sister) were alone. Aurora quickly got sick with whitecough, which became greencough rapidly. Spark's only hope was the forest. She ventured in, and was quickly found by Berrypaw, an apprentice in Treeclan. She ventured past her trust issues to beg him for help. He went to get the medicine cat, and she went to coax her sister over. Her sister was brought into camp and treated, but there wasn't much hope for her survival. Still, Spark stayed by her side day and night. When Aurora first showed signs of recovery, Berrypaw convinced Spark to stay in camp and learn about the warrior life and the code. Spark still didn't accept a mentor, or trust anyone but Berrypaw, so she wasn't officially an apprentice. When Aurora first started getting better and getting closer yet to recovery, Spark put a hold on everything to be by her side. Aurora woke up and decided to become a medicine cat apprentice, because she was so thankful to Rosedrop (the current medicine cat) for saving her. Spark decided to be a true apprentice, but she and Aurora both agreed that they didn't want to keep those names, as they reminded them of the fighting arena. Aurora took on the name Wildpaw, to show her desire to stay a wild cat in the woods until she joins Starclan. And Spark took on the name Cloverpaw, to honor her d3ad brother Clover. They both trained hard, Cloverpaw with her mentor, Briarmist, and Wildpaw with Rosedrop. As Cloverpaw and Berrypaw got closer to becoming warriors, Berrypaw started acting odd, being nicer to Cloverpaw then before, blushing when she complimented him, and offering to help her train more often-and losing more often. Cloverpaw didn't pay much attention, as her assessment was looming on the horizon. She trained harder, bringing in more prey every time she hunted. Then the day of the assessment came, and she passed, as did Berrypaw. The warrior ceremony was a week later, and Cloverpaw became Cloverwing. Berrypaw became Berrystrike. And two days later, Berrystrike asked Cloverwing to become his mate. Cloverwing joyfully accepted, and she now has three kits and a mate, and she's determined to give her three, innocent kits a better kithood than she had.
