So I decided to continue this story! It's basically about Hawkpaw, a regular apprentice, going through the hardships and troubles of apprenticeship. He has enjoyable experiences as well as terrible ones, so follow him on his journey to becoming a warrior!

"Shut up, Thistlepaw!" Owlpaw hissed. Thistlepaw was yet again teasing Owlpaw about her poor hunting skills. Thistlepaw, Owlpaw and Hawkpaw had just picked up their prey and were heading back to camp with their mentors, Graycloud, Stormskies and Redstripe.

"Thistlepaw, stop teasing Owlpaw." Hawkpaw hissed through a mouth full of mice. He had caught three mice and one big vole, which his mentor Redstripe was carrying for him.

"Oh yeah? Make me." Thistlepaw challenged, dropping his shrew and vole. Hawkpaw dropped his mice.

"Thistlepaw, I don't want to fight you. Why do you always provoke fights?"

Thistlepaw rolled his eyes. "You're such scared little mouse. Why do you always turn down fights?"

Graycloud stepped between them. "Stop fighting, both of you." She turned to Thistlepaw. "Hawkpaw's right. Why do you always provoke fights?" She growled.

Thistlepaw opened his mouth to protest, but then closed it. He hung his head. "Sorry, Graycloud."

"'Sorry' doesn't catch any prey. But I'll forgive you, this time." She whipped around and stalked back to the camp. Stormskies flicked her tail and followed, with Redstripe right behind her. Owlpaw glared at Thistlepaw before following the mentors.


"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the High Rock for a Clan meeting." Willowstar's meow echoed throughout the camp. Curious, cats crept out of their dens and meowed to eachother, wondering what was going on.

Sunkit, Goldkit and Foxkit were bouncing around excitedly while Nightkit hid behind Meadowdawn. "Stay still, Sunkit! Why can't your pelt be as clean as Nightkit's? It's like you've rolled through every leaf from here to Riverclan!" Meadowdawn scolded.

Trailpaw and Oakpaw were being busily groomed by Graycloud while Redstripe watched proudly. Deerpaw, Snakepaw and Shrewpaw bounced like kits as they looked up at Willowstar. Willowstar nodded and the apprentices rushed forward,gracefully yet excitedly.

"I, Willowstar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend them as Warriors in return. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." The apprentices said in unison. "Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior names. Deerpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Deerleap. Starclan honours your bravery and brightness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan." Willowstar rested her head on her shoulder and the newly named Deerleap licked her shoulder respectfully.

Before long, Trailpaw, Oakpaw, Deerpaw, Snakepaw, and Shrewpaw were known as Trailblaze, Oakfall, Deerleap, Snaketail, and Shrewflight. They stood up proudly as the their clan chanted their names, and their parents stood aside glowing with pride.

"We have yet another ceremony to perform." Willowstar meowed. Sunkit, Goldkit, Foxkit and Nightkit straightened up. "Hardstep, you trained Redstripe well, and I feel you are ready for another apprentice. You will mentor Goldpaw." Goldpaw touched noses with his new mentor.

"Leafbreeze, you have not yet received an apprentice, and I feel you are ready for one. You will mentor Foxpaw." Leafbreeze glowed with pride just as much as Foxpaw.

"Halfear, you trained Graycloud well, and I feel you are ready for another apprentice. You will mentor Nightpaw." Halfear hastily slid forward and bumped noses with Nightpaw, who shrunk away from her shyly.

"Meadowdawn, you have not yet received an apprentice, and I feel you are ready for one. You will mentor Sunpaw." Meadowdawn touched noses proudly with Sunpaw.

Thunderclan cheered their names. "Goldpaw! Nightpaw! Sunpaw! Foxpaw!" They chanted. The four apprentices stood proudly next to their mentors, radiating happiness and a bit of nervousness. Thunderclan had five new warriors and four new apprentices. The future is looking bright. Hawkpaw thought.

And there we go! I hope you liked it, and remember to Review!

Cya!
