AN: For the birthday of awyeah21. Happy birthday Arrow!
Jayfeather POV
I'm getting my apprentice today.
I don't like kits, so I chose a warrior. Or, a sort of warrior.
You see, I'm tired of her being in my den all the time, helping me out but never being the most useful cat in the world.
You guessed it. Briarlight.
She doesn't know I'm taking her on yet. I don't want her to know. She'd just say she doesn't want to be a bother, or make a statement to the other Clans of weakness.
"Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the Highrock for a Clan meeting!" Bramblestar called. I got Brarlight out of the den, and leapt up onto the Highrock "Cats of ThunderClan. As you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took on an apprentice." I felt Briarlight's shock and sadness. She thinks she'll have to leave my den. "I have chosen a cat who has shown courage and determination. Your next medicine cat will be Briarlight." I heard Briarlight gasp, and felt that she was very happy, but a twinge of regret was mixed in.
She jumped, or really, clambered, up onto the rock.
"Briarlight, do you accept the post of apprentice to Jayfeather?"
"I do." Briarlight's voice trembled with excitement and a bit of fear.
"Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Moonpool to be accepted by StarClan in front of the other medicine cats." I said
"The good wishes of all ThunderClan go with you." I bent down and Briarlight's nose touched mine.
"Briarlight! Briarlight!" I smiled a rare smile. Briarlight was, in her opinion, earning her keep at last.
AN: So, Arrow. You like it? Now you know why I asked!
