Bluekit slipped out of the warriors den looking around the cave that WaveClan called home. She blinked to let her eyes adjust to the light. She perked her ears and heard the roar of the waterfall outside she smiled looking around at her home. Birchkit slipped out behind her and looked down at the kit.
"Hello Bluekit," meowed Birchkit.
"Hi!" she squealed.
"Want to play mossball?" asked Birchkit.
"Sure!" she meowed.
Birchkit dashed off to find a mossball.
Stormkit flicked his ear sitting just outside the nursery watching them.
"What?" she asked.
Stormkit shook his head before going off to get something to eat. Bluekit looked after him in awe. Man was he cool. Just sitting there and stuff! She then turned back to her friend when he came back with the mossball dropping it at her paws.
"You can have it first," he offered.
"Okay!" Bluekit meowed "but I'm not very good at this game."
"You're going to be amazing after I'm done teaching you!" Birchkit declared.
Bluekit hit the mossball to Birchkit he hit it back but she was too slow and missed. Birchkit smiled softly.
"That's alright try again," Birchkit meowed.
Bluekit tried again and again Birchkit giving her tips every time she missed it or ducked away he wouldn't laugh like Reedkit her brother use too before he died of greencough. Bluekit wasn't upset much about her brother's death he wasn't close to her.
She beamed when she had hit it back at least twenty times without dropping it. She caught the mossball and dashed over to her friend.
"I did it! I did it!" she cheered.
"You did it! You did it!" Birchkit said smiling.
Bluekit smiled before pawing at him. He pounced on her.
"Ahh!" Bluekit screamed pawing at his chest.

"Bluekit please step forward." meowed Silverstar.
Bluekit did as her leader ordered.
She smiled down at the kit "today we gather for the making of a new apprentice. Bluekit from this moment forth you shall me known as Bluepaw. Leafwing you are ready for your first apprentice. You will be Bluepaw's mentor."
Bluepaw beamed she had been hoping for Leafwing and padded over touching noses with her mentor.
Birchpaw dashed over chanting her name he smiled "you got Leafwing!"
"I know I did mousebrain!" she meowed swatting him with her tail.
Stormpaw watched from the crowd he had gotten who he had wanted as well Coldwing. Personally Bluepaw found Coldwing too snappy and grumpily but in a way that might be the best thing for Stormpaw. She had always found the apprentice so cool and strong.
"Come on Bluepaw time to see the territory," meowed Leafwing.
Birchpaw smiled at her and nudged her shoulder "you'll like it!"
"You already ruined it all for me," she meowed.
"It'll be different seeing it trust me," meowed Birchpaw.
Bluepaw smiled before dashing away to her mentor's side and pushing out and going around the waterfall that roared so loud Bluepaw flattened her ears.
"Unsheath your claws on these rocks Bluepaw you don't want to slip,'' Leafwing meowed over the roar.
Bluepaw could barely hear her but she unsheathed her claws and scrapped them on the rocks watching her step. When she got out from behind the waterfall she looked around and was taken away by the wide open landscape. She smelt the fresh water of the many rivers in WaveClan territory before looking back and up at the cave.
Leafwing watched her smiling "I know how you feel it's so big and open."
"It is!" Bluepaw agreed.
Leafwing flicked her tail and lead the way to WolfClan's border. Up onto the rocks they now claimed after a battle with WolfClan.
Bluepaw remembered the battle it took out her father and seeing the rocks gave her that reminder. She sighed looking around.
"What's wrong?" Leafwing asked.
"Nothing," Bluepaw meowed.
"Is it your father?" Leafwing asked.
Bluepaw nodded slowly "yeah."
"He's up in StarClan now.'' Leafwing meowed.
"That's what Birchpaw said," Bluepaw meowed.
"What about your mother?" asked Leafwing.
Bluepaw thought about her mother Mistbreeze she was great and Bluepaw loved her more than anything but she wasn't like her father.
"I have never been as close to her," meowed Bluepaw.
Leafwing nodded slowly "come on."
Bluepaw followed her through the forest that was on their territory next to WolfClan. She didn't like the woods as much. She enjoyed the openness of WaveClan's territory.

Bluepaw pushed into camp following Leafwing "get some sleep Bluepaw."
Bluepaw nodded yawning.
Birchpaw padded over with a trout "want to share?"
"Sure!" Bluepaw meowed.
"So how was it?" asked Birchpaw nudging it to her.
Bluepaw took a bit chewing before answering "really cool!"
"I know!" meowed Birchpaw "did you see Big Pointed Stones?"
"Yeah. And I don't know what's so great about them we have to fight with WolfClan over them," meowed Bluepaw.
"Because Bluepaw. They think they are better than us," a voice said behind them.
Bluepaw turned to see Stormpaw "so?"
"So we can't have them thinking that," meowed Stormpaw.
"So death is the answer?" she challenged jumping to her paws.
Stormpaw narrowed his eyes slightly "not every battle ends in death!"
"My father died in that battle and you are saying it was worth it? Just because WolfClan thinks they are better than us?" Bluepaw snapped.
Stormpaw growled "you're father died defending his Clan and I bet he would be proud!"
Bluepaw turned her back on Stormpaw before storming to the apprentice den. She could hear Birchpaw fighting with Stormpaw and flattened her ears not wanting to hear them. She looked up at Birchpaw when he pushed in.
"Don't let him get to you," meowed Birchpaw laying down in his nest.
Bluepaw just grunted and closed her eyes.
