ok here is the next chapter hope you enjoy its kinda boring -.-.

Please can we become apprentices?" wailed Shadowpup.
"You have to wait till you're six moons old. I said the same thing to your
brothers. It's still going to be a 'No!' Can't you pups wait one more
moon? Besides you don't even have to wait that long!" Silvercreek growled
softly. "Now go out and play with your brothers."

Shadowpup looked at his mother one more time before turning out of the den.
I don't want to wait one more moon! I want to be a apprentice now!

Shadowpup stalked out slowly towards his brothers, Hawkpup and Stealthpup.
Both of them looked like him except for their eyes. They all had black pelts,
but Hawkpup has deep blue eyes, Stealthpup had dark brown eyes, and Shadowpup
had silver eyes.

"Great, you're back! What did she say?" Hawkpup barked excitedly. Shadowpup
looked at his brother and shook his little black head. Hawkpup's ears went
down disappointed.

"Why don't we see if there's any fresh-kill?" piped up Stealthpup.
Shadowpup's face brightened. "Yeah! I hope there's some deer. I love it!"

"Race you there!" Hawkpup growled happily.

"You're on!" Shadowpup barked, taking off towards the food pile. Hawkpup
and Stealthpup were hot on his heels.

"Hey pups, what are you doing?" The pups jerked to a halt. They turned
around to see the brown pelt of Stoneheart.
"You should go back to the nursery where you belong. I don't want my den to
get checked again if you silly pups turn out lost again."

"But we were just..." Stoneheart cut Shadowpup off mid-sentence "No buts! Get
going!"

"Why does Stoneheart have to be so mean?" grumbled Stealthpup as they
walked back to the den.

"I'm bored! What do you want to do?" Hawkpup asked, sitting down near the
nursery. Shadowpup padded up to his brother and lay down.

"I don't know. We could practice our battle skills. Maybe we can get
Whitefang and Foxfang to teach us some new moves!" Stealthpup suggested. The
pups loved to play with the apprentices.

"I'll go ask them! I can creep past Stoneheart!" Stealthpup barked pointing
with his muzzle towards the elder.

"All right but be careful."

Shadowpup watched Stealthpup creep slowly in the shadows, his black pelt
mingled with the black. Stealthpup was the best at creeping. When they were
about three moons old, Stealthpup was about to creep past their mother's
watchful eye to get some bones to chew on.

Hawkpup stood up. "Where did he go? I can't see him any more! Did he get
caught or something?" he asked, turning towards Shadowpup. He just shrugged.
The two pups didn't have to wait long. Stealthpup came back bouncing with
Whitefang.

"Foxfang was sleeping." he squeaked happily. Shadowpup suddenly remembered
that Foxfang and his sister Redfang were going to become warriors tonight.

"Alright, what should I teach you today?" Whitefang growled he looked at the
pup's eager faces. "I know! I'll teach you this move!" Whitefang dropped
into a crouch. He bunched up his lean muscles and leapt high in the air. He
twirled around once before he hit the ground, landing on his feet.

"Wow!" the black pelted brothers breathed at once.

"Can I try?" asked Shadowpup. Whitefang nodded. Shadowpup leaned down,
and stuck his rear into the air. He wiggled it, and then leaped into the air.
He twirled once, and landed on his feet.

"Shadowpup! Shadowpup!" Hawkpup and Stealthpup chanted.

"Let all the clan wolves old enough to hunt meet at the Highrock." the
booming voice of Darkalpha howled from the top of the Highrock. The pups
stopped what they were doing, not realizing they played for so long. Shadowpup
could see Foxfang and Redfang just below the Highrock sitting proudly. All of
the pups, Whitefang included, started to walk towards the other clan wolves.
That will be me someday! Thought Shadowpup.

Shadowpup positioned himself by Falconwing. He looked up at the Highrock
waiting to see what the apprentice's warrior names would be.

"Silverstar, Lioneye," Darkalpha began using the formal words that had been
handed down through all the clans. "Are you satisfied that these apprentices
are ready to become a Timberclan warrior?"

The two warriors nodded. Darkalpha raised his head to the bright moon and the
stars of Silverspots." I, Darkalpha, leader of Timberclan call upon my warrior
ancestors to look down on these apprentices." The clan hushed as Darkalpha's
howl rang out. "They trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code,
and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." He turned to Redfang and
Foxfang, locking his gaze with theirs. "Foxfang, do you promise to uphold the
warrior code and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your
life?" Shadowpup was wondering how he would feel when he became a warrior.

Foxfang lifted his muzzle and replied clearly, "I do."

"Then by the power of MoonClan I give you your warrior name. Foxfang, from
this moment you will be known as Foxtail. Moonclan honors your courage and
your patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Timberclan." Darkalpha
touched his muzzle to Foxtail's head and then turned to his sister Redfang.
"Redfang, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend
this clan, even at the cost of your life?"

She replied just as clear and strong as her brother. "I do."

"Then by the power of MoonClan I give you your warrior name. Redfang, from
this moment you will be known as Redpelt. MoonClan honors your courage and
your patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Timberclan." Darkalpha
then placed his muzzel on Redpelt's head. She licked his shoulder.
The rest of the clan gathered around them, welcoming them by their new names.
"Foxtail, Redpelt! Foxtail, Redpelt!" they howled.

Darkalpha waited till the noise died down. "Foxtail, Redpelt, according to
tradition you must keep vigil in silence tonight and watch over the camp".

Shadowpup started to walk towards the new warriors.
His mother called from across the camp, "Pups! Time for bed!"
Shadowpup looked at the new warriors disappointed to have to go to bed now
but he padded back to the nursery's deep cave tunnel with Hawkpup and
Stealthpup right behind him. I can't wait to become a warrior! Shadowpup thought as he fell asleep. Soon, he would dream of fighting, and his own
ceremony.
