"Let all cats old enough to catch prey gather here for a Clan meeting! Due what happen two sunrises ago.  I decided to make Echokit, Ripplekit and Sandkit into apprentices. Yes they are only five moons but sooner the better. Echokit, step forward.  You shall be known as Echopaw, Stormhawk, you will mentor Echopaw, Ripplekit, will known as Ripplepaw, Your mentor is Swiftwing, I grant your wish as medicine cat apprentice. Sandkit, you will be know as Sandpaw! Berrytail, I give you this apprentice!" Hawkstar yowled, Apprentices and mentors met and touched noses.

"Echopaw! Ripplepaw! Sandpaw!" Clan cats chanted. Eaglepaw trotted up to Sandpaw. " I will show you--uhh your guys nest place." Eaglepaw beckon them. " Your guys nests will be here, Sandpaw, yours is next m-mine." stammered Eaglepaw. Clouds flew with the sky as their shadows swept below. Three apprentices dipped their heads with gratitude and slid out.

Ripplepaw parted ways with his siblings and trotted off to Swiftwing's den. "Your here, Quick herb test go!" Swiftwing meowed, pushing few herbs to him. "Poppy seeds, used to numb pain and help sleep, but don't take too many of these! Borage, use to help queens with milk. Alder bark, used for toothache. webs, stop bleeding. raspberry leaves used during kitting." Swiftwing gave a nod of approval. " You really have a great memory."  Ripplepaw smiled and sniffed around the den.

---??? POV--

I will get back, to my home and family. I am so lost, Where am I? All these scent are new and different. Someone help me, I am so young. So much pain... so cold. I walk and walk far from where I was  before. A hidden twoleg place? Bright yellow and red top, lit windows. Help.. me.. please. I am starving and cold.

A boat sat at outer of a fence, a fresh scent of dog hits my nose. I should let this dog kill me. I am goner anyway. I slip over the fence. Brown dog bounds to me. I am ready for it's teeth and stinky breath. I felt teeth grip my scruff, but not ruff but gentle, The dog is carrying me? No... Impossible! Grip loosen and Twoleg comes in my sight. They mumble something and then I swallowed into den.

I was placed in soft and smooth small nest. faint scent of another cat, a cat from far forest. A orange tabby cat comes and greets me. " Hi there! I am  Mango!" Mango? What strange name... Then again they might think my name is strange. " My housefolk will call you Night." I nod and sniff a bowl of flavorless mush. I scoop small amount of food and slowly swallow, So gross. But It will do for.

I clear my mind, scent of twoleg and cat and dog overlap each other. I gulp down some kittypet food and rest. balmy air slaps my fur as yawns escapes from me. Rain outside was harsh and sleep eventually comes over me.

Dream-

Where is the Twoleg den? Why do I feel so wet... There is a voice calling? yelling? Where is this place. My memory.. fading..fading.

Something is pushing me, what is it? Who am I... I am Night... But I had another name. No, Night is my name, Night is me.

I-I feel nothing. My mind is empty , all of my?.. Memories.. gone forever! Is this a dream or reality tricking me!?!?

My former name is ...

Everything is black, no light. Someone wake me up please!
