How could Yellowstorm just tell her to sit and wait for a message from her mother that could take moons! Maybe even longer, it could probably take seasons! Ugh nobody understands me! She thought as the warrior padded from the medicine den to the fresh-kill pile, she chose to take a small vole from the pile before laying in the sunshine. Mother. . . I need to hear from you because I am confused. Is my promise to Runningpaw betraying my own clan? The silver cat bit into the prey chewing it easily, her blue eyes dull in color from being stressed and confused about herself and her family. "Silverwing, your needed by Morningshine." A voice called, she turned to see Flyingpaw behind her. The apprentice's eyes were happy as she looked at the warrior; Silverwing nodded and stood to her paws following Flyingpaw to where Morningshine was located.
The new clan deputy was standing at the front of Oakstar's den waiting for her, "thank you Flyingpaw. You are dismissed." The deputy flicked her ear and watched as the young cream colored apprentice raced off to meet with her brother Lightpaw. Silverwing almost forgot the Lightpaw's mentor was Dapplefoot but now that the tom was retired he needed a new mentor to continue his warrior training. No cat could deny that Flowtail was doing a good job of mentoring both Flyingpaw, and Lightpaw but each cat could only have one apprentice at a time. "Come," Morningshine mewed lightly before entering Oakstar's den. The clan leader smiled at Silverwing, "welcome Silverwing." He murmured happily. Silverwing dipped her head to the leader, waiting for the brown tabby tom to continue what he was saying.
"Lightpaw cannot be mentored by Dapplefoot no longer, and Flowtail cannot have more than one apprentice at a single time. So I have talked it over with Morningshine and we both agree you are more than ready to be a mentor to an apprentice. Do you accept?" Silverwing felt her ears prick and her heart bounce with glee. Lightpaw's mentor? ME! Yeeees! "Yes Oakstar I accept. Thank you." She purred happily, now that she could show her sister how much of an amazing warrior she was nothing would make her so upset. Besides she'd have a responsibility to ArouraClan. "Then we must announce this right now. Both of you lets go."
The three padded from the den and Silverwing sat next to Morningshine as Oakstar called their clan together for a meeting. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high stone for a clan meeting!" Almost at once Shiningfeather padded from her spot next to Viperfrost where they were sharing tongues and chatting and sat in the front of the high stone so she could hear what Oakstar had to say. Viperfrost followed, more slowly than Silverwing's sister did. Heh he must be sick of Shiningfeather already, no surprise. He doesn't want her as a mate. "I call upon my warrior ancestors to give this apprentice a new mentor. Lightpaw, you have lost your first mentor, so your new mentor will be Silverwing!" The clan cats chanted happily for the young tom to have finally been given a new mentor. Shiningfeather growled lowly though, maybe she was jealous of her sister for being chosen over her to mentor Lightpaw.
