by the way, all of this story is going to be in Starpaw's point of view.
Chapter 2
Starkit and Nightkit sat at the front of the clan, their fur raised in excitement.
"I wonder who our mentors will be!" Starkit whispered, Nightkit turned to her.
"I wonder too. I really hope my mentor is Dawnwing, she seems like a nice warrior. What about you, any warriors in mind?" Nightkit asked as the clan was almost all gathered. Starkit thought about her question.
"I kinda want Burnclaw. He seems like a good mentor. I just hope he lets me tackle him first." Starkit whispered the last part to Nightkit. Nightkit giggled.
"We are gathered today to make two new apprentices," Ravenstar said, starting the meeting,"making apprentices is what makes this clan strong. Nightkit come." Ravenstar beckoned her with his tail. Nightkit scrambled onto the high ledge. "From now until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Nightpaw. Your mentor will be, Dawnwing." Nightpaw jumped up.
"Yay!" Nightpaw yowled, she lost her balance and fell off of the High ledge. "Ahhh!" Starkit's ears went down, she was in utter terror as Nightpaw landed on her. Starkit was being squished underneath Nightpaw.
"Get off of me!" She yowled. Nightpaw jumped off of her and scrambled back onto the High ledge.
"Sorry, Starkit!" Nightpaw meowed as Dawnwing leaped into the High ledge. Ravenstar kept speaking as if nothing had happened.
"Dawnwing, you are ready for an apprentice. Pass on your courage and agility to Nightpaw." Dawnwing nodded.
"I will, Ravenstar." Dawnwing and Nightpaw touched noses and leaped off the High ledge. Ravenstar then beckoned Starkit with his tail. Starkit jumped from rock to rock until she reached the High ledge, Starkit was a smaller than average kit so the path to the High ledge took longer than usual. She was panting by the time she reached the High ledge.
"Starkit, from now until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Starpaw." Ravenstar said. "Your mentor will be Darkspots. Darkspots, you are ready for your first apprentice, share with her your battle skills and courage." Starpaw was a little disappointed. She had hoped her mentor would be Burnclaw. Oh well, she thought, might as well deal with it. Darkspots climbed onto the High ledge. He didn't look happy either. Good something we have in common, she thought. Darkspots dipped his head anyway.
"I will do my best, Ravenstar." He meowed. Darkspots and Starpaw touched noses and leaped off of the High ledge. Starpaw landed ungracefully on her stomach, scrambled to her paws embarrassed and then ran to catch up with Darkspots.
"Starpaw, you know I didn't want to be your mentor, and I know that you didn't want to be my apprentice, but we have to deal with it. This might even turn out fun." Darkspots said as they exited the camp. Starpaw nodded.
"Ok, so what are we going to do first?" She asked.
"I'm going to show you the borders and show you around the territory, and if we still have enough energy we can start battle moves. That sound good?" Darkspots asked. Starpaw nodded.
"Yeah sounds good, Darkspots." She meowed. After Darkspots showed her around the territory, they went to the mossy hollow. "Which battle move first?" Starpaw asked Darkspots.
"I was thinking the basic rules. That ok?" Darkspots asked. Starpaw nodded, so Darkspots went on. "First, move quietly and communicate with signals so the enemy doesn't know where you are, keep downwind of the trespassers so they don't scent you, keep your mouth open to detect any new scents, look around for any signs of where your trespasser or animal is and where they went. Also keep a look out for lightly colored pelts, because they are easy to spot in undergrowth." Darkspots said. Starpaw nodded. Training with Darkspots might actually be helpful, she thought.
