Sparkkit awoke to a cold nest. She looked around the nursery and saw that only Dovewing and Daisy were inside. At once she knew that her littermates were outside playing in the snow. She didn't want to go and join their games; all she wanted to do was sleep. But as the squealing got louder she couldn't sleep. Padding out of the nursery she saw that Bramblestar was leaping up on the highrock. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the highrock", yowled Bramblestar. So much for a mouse thought Sparkkit. "Cherrypaw and Molepaw are ready to become warriors", said Bramblestar, "Cherrypaw do you uphold the warrior code and defend this clan even with the cost of your life". "I do", mewed Cherrypaw. "And Molepaw do you uphold the warrior code and defend this clan even with the cost of your life", said Bramblestar. "I do", said Molepaw puffing out his chest proudly. Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names, Cherrypaw you will be known as Cherryfeather and Molepaw your name will be Molefoot. StarClan honours you both with bravery and loyalty to ThunderClan. "Cherryfeather, Molefoot, Cherryfeather, Molefoot", said the ThunderClan cats. As the noise died down, Bramblestar said, "There is still one more ceremony to perform. " Dewkit, Amberkit, and Snowkit come forward. Snowpaw your mentor will be Birchfall. Amberpaw your mentor will be Mousewhisker. Lionblaze you will be a mentor to Dewpaw." "Dewpaw, Amberpaw, Snowpaw, Dewpaw, Amberpaw, Snowpaw", cheered their clanmates. As the meeting broke up, Sparkkit heard a cat call her name "Sparkkit". She turned around and saw her brothers and sisters padding towards her. "What do you want, Sunkit" she sighed. "We were just wondering what you were doing outside the nursery", he said. "Yeah, I thought little kits were supposed to say inside the nursery", sneered Willowkit. "I am just as old as you, Willowkit" said Sparkkit. "If it were me kits should be made apprentice based on their size", said Splashkit. Sparkkit was about to make a sharp reply when Cinderheart padded up to them. "Sparkkit, don't be mean to your brothers and sisters, come on you five time to go onto the nursery" said Cinderheart. Sparkkit looked at her mother leading her siblings into the nursery like they were newborns, even if they were three moons old. All she wanted was her mom to like her, but she would have to keep dreaming. She looked over at the fresh kill pile and saw the one cat she cared for. Lionblaze was talking to Dewpaw about hunting techniques, as she came into hearing range. She as stopped to listen, Lionblaze flicked his tail at her to come over. "Dewpaw you can go find yourself a nest and be ready for tomorrow because training starts early", he said. When Dewpaw padded away Lionblaze turned to Sparkkit and said, "I am sorry about Cinderheart acting that way." "It is all right", she said. "No it is not all right, your siblings should not pick on you that way", he said. "It is though", Sparkkit said. "I am going to talk to your mother about it, okay", said Lionblaze. "Sure", she said, "I'm going to vist Sandstorm." "All right, see you later", he said. As Sparkkit padded to the elders den, she thought about what stories Sandstorm might tell.
