Chapter 1. "Ivykit please step forward…" Said Blackstar in a strong and heavy voice. Daisyfur then went in front of Blackstar. "Do you promise to uphold the medicine cat code and to heal your clan mates even at the cost of your life?" She said it questionably wondering what Ivykit's answer would be. "Yes. I promise to heal my clan mates even at the cost of my life. I will always uphold the medicine cat code as well." She said it smoothly her entire body shaking, her eyes darting around. Daisyfur then hoped down from high rock beside Blackstar. She then went up and touched noses with Ivykit. Every cat in the clearing then called her name out. "Ivypaw! Ivypaw! Ivypaw!" She then raised her head up high very proud and pleased with herself. She was finally going to the medicine cat apprentice! Learning all the herbs would be great! Her mind then flashed back her sister Nightkit almost dying. Stripepaw had almost died of the sickness as well and Mossfoot well he died. She then heard running behind her. Before she could her head around she was tackled to the ground. Foxpaw was on top of her laughing loudly. Ivypaw was able to get Blackstar to make Foxpaw, Snowpaw and Nightkit apprentices early. So Snowpaw and Foxpaw had their apprentice ceremony yesterday. She had hers today. Nightkit was resting in the medicine cat den for a few days to make sure age was fully cured. Same with Stripepaw. Foxpaw's mentor was Willowfur. Willowpaw had his warrior ceremony about 5 days ago and got his warrior name Willowfur. Stripepaw had to wait awhile before his ceremony. Because of the sickness. At least we still have Cloverpaw and Rainpaw to tell us the apprentice roots. They are the only other apprentices that aren't in our little apprentice group including Nightkit. Cloverpaw had amazing light brown fur. Her fur was light brown with a few dark brown streaks her and there. She is the most beautiful she cat in all of shadow clan. Her eyes are yellow but also brown there a beautiful mix. Rainpaw is Cloverpaw's sister. Rainpaw has comeplety grey fur and yellow eyes. It had been a moon since Daisyfur had entered Blackstar's den asking him to make me a apprentice early. He then asked me for my opinion and I said I want to wait for apprenticeship with my friends. Other than that everything has been pretty boring. Nightkit has been in the medicine cat den for a moon. All the cats are complaining that Nightkit and Stripepaw are ready to get back to their usual duty's. But Daisyfur keeps saying no. It's like she's keeping them hostage or something. She giggled out loud as she looked at Foxpaw on her. Foxpaw's mentor Snakestripe then called her over. "I gotta go bye! Maybe i can go hunting for the first time!" She giggled it out then raced over to Snakestripe. Snowkit's mentor was Mistybreeze. Mistybreeze was a lightly dappled gray she cat. Mistybreeze was waiting at the tunnel entrance flicking her ears. "I have to go! I think were going with Snakestripe and Foxpaw to go hunting for the time!" She then ran off to stand beside her mentor Mistybreeze. A few seconds later Snakestripe went up to them with Foxpaw. He gave them a nod and they left the camp to go hunting. Ivykit then sighed realizing she was gonna be alone for awhile. Nightkit was still sleeping. Daisyfur was out collecting marigold and catmint. She then sighed and entered the medicine cat den. She then sorted all the herbs in stock to nice little piles. She looked over at Nightkit who was sleeping peacefully. Stripepaw wasn't in his nest. He was in the clearing while Willowfur kept annoying him by boasting about him being a warrior before him. Ivykit then rolled her eyes and looked at Stripepaw. Nice tiger fur with stripes and beautiful yellow eyes. Funny, kind, strong, buff, nice, Handsome…what was she doing! She then shook her head. She was a medicine cat apprentice! She shouldn't be checking out Stripepaw. She then heard a scream inside the nursey. She then raced inside and saw Fireflower. She was going to give birth! Fireflower's kit's were expected to come a moon and a half ago! They were super late! Fireflower then screamed even louder. Ivykit then said quickly " I'll find Daisyfur just try to relax!" Once as she got out of the nursey she had to push past cats who were gathering around the nursey. She then raced out of camp and quickly followed Daisyfur's scent.
