"Hey wait up!" Lichenkit giggled. She bounced after her littermates, her vibrant green eyes bright. She tumbled over her sister, Hornetkit, with a squeak.
"Watch it twerp!" Hornetkit hissed. She was as mean as her name. Her two brothers, Finchkit and Smokekit, turned on the yellow and black she-kit.
"Don't talk to Lichenkit like that! She didn't do anything wrong!" Finchkit hissed at Hornetkit. She was about to spit something back when a familiar yowl greeted the four.
"May all cats old enough to catch their own breath gather for a clan meeting!" Quickstar yowled. She stood proudly on the high ledge, her silver pelt glittering like stars. Cats gathered around, and once the last murmurs had stopped, she began again.
"The time has come to name four apprentices. The clan has never been this low on cats, and we are grateful for them. Lichenkit, Finchkit, Smokekit, and Hornetkit, please come forward." The four kits did as they were told, and none looked happier than Lichenkit.
"By the powers of StarClan, I name you apprentices. Lichenkit, from this moment until you receive your warrior name, you shall be call Lichenpaw." Lichenpaw could barely keep still, wondering who her mentor would be. "Lilypad, you have trained Violetshine into a fine warrior, and I hope you pass these skills on to Lichenpaw." Lichenpaw and Lilypad touched noses and stepped back.
After the other ceremonies were preformed, Smokepaw and Finchpaw bounced over to her.
"Isn't this exciting?" Finchpaw mewed, trotting in a circle around Lichenpaw.
"Of course it is!" Lichenpaw exclaimed. "I'm going to be leader someday you know!" She added. Finchpaw narrowed his eyes as a challenge.
"You wanna bet?" He taunted. Lichenpaw didn't hesitate to leap at her brother, a yowl escaping her. His eyes widened as he was bowled over, his sister standing on him. "Get off, you win." He muttered.
Lichenpaw grinned, climbing off her brother.
After a long day of exploring, and swimming in the lake, the four new apprentices flopped down to eat.
"I'm starving!" Smokepaw groaned, picking a plump vole.
"Me too." Lichenpaw mewed, taking a bite of her mouse. "I love seeing the territory. I feel bad for Windclan cats. Their territory looks the same all the way through it."
"Yeah, It must be pretty boring." Finchpaw agreed. A yawn escaped the apprentice's jaws, and the rest of them laughed. They conversed through their meal, and even Hornetpaw was in a good mood.
"Well, I'm going to bed. Night guys." Lichenpaw mewed. She curled up in her nest, before the black tide of sleep pulled her under its surface.
A/N: This chapter was kind of boring, but it had to be there. Don't worry, it'll be much more exciting in the future.
Spinosa: Thanks for reviewing! Also, I hope you don't mind me stealing this idea of the a/n thing. :)
Guest: Thanks so much! It means a lot!
Floodtail- AKA Floody: I took your advice, and put mire commas. ;)
xXLeafheartXx : Yes she is. Also, I'll think about the medicine cat apprentice. I have something else in mind, but she could be from a different clan.
