Hawkkit opened her crystal lbue eyes to find her mother and brother/sister still sleeping.
'We're becoming apprentices today!' she thought, her chest fluffing up in pride. 'I wonder who my mentor will be!' she wondered silently. She looked back over to the nest and saw her sister, mistykit, arousing.
"it's about time!" Hawkkit mumbled under her breath, to no one in particular. She poked her brother, careful not to wake her mother, Mossfoot, up. Not yet, at least. She wanted to have some time to play before she had a bunch of cleaning and exploring of territory to do. But at the same time, she wanted to wake up everyone and tell them to get ready, so she could have something to do other than eat, play, and sleep. She was really hoping to become a medicine cat! She had dropped little hints here and there, and when the leader and medicine cat were talking, she would pretend to talk to Oakkit or Mistykit saying, "Oh I sure hope he makes me a medicine cat apprentice!" In an over-exagarated way. She really, really, REALLY hoped that her leader was smart enough to get the hints.
Hawkkit sighed as Oakkit simply rolled over.
*Sigh* "uuuugh! Oakkit, you are such a lump!" she said, amusement lingering in her gaze. She slowly pulled him a safe distance away (he's a heavy sleeper) and crouched, wiggling her haunches, before pouncing on her tortie brother's back. He woke up and schreeched, affectively waking up Mistykit and Mossfoot.
Mossfoot jumped up in surprise. "OAKKIT! What's wrong?! Where are you, love?!"
Oakkit sighed as his mom picked him up after padding over to him, finding him in the grasp of Hawkkit. *sighs* "im fine, mother. It was just Hawkkit. She scared me, that's all!"
Mossfoot glared at Hawkkit. " and why would you do that? Hawkkit, if youre going to be an apprentice, you have to learn to treat others with love and respect."
'you mean like you treat ME? I think not!' Hawkkit thought, frowning. She was alwas l;ast t feed, last to be cleaned (for wich she was slightly glad), just last at everything! Suddenly, the clan was being summoned. The Riverclan leader, Darkstar, had summoned the clan, his hansome ginger/tabby stribed fur practically glowing in the sunlight that was beginning to wash over the camp.
"All cats old enough to swim gather here beneath the highrock for a clan meeting!" he yowled so the clan could hear him. His deputy, blackheart (despite his name, he is very sweet and loyal) sat at the bottom of the rock.
"today three kits have reached their sixth moon, and it is time for them to become apprentices. Mistykit, Oakkit, and Hawkkit, please step forward." He summoned Mistykit first. "Mistykit, you have reached your sixth moon, and are ready to become an apprentice. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Mistypaw. Your mentor will be Stormfang."
Stormfang and Mistypaw touched noses, and any cat could tell Mistypaw liked him already.
"Hawkkit, please step forward." Darkstar called. Hawkkit snapped out of her daze and padded over to him 'Hey! Im not last!' she thought with pride as she strode up to the highrock.
"Hawkkit, you have reached your sixth moon, and are ready to become an apprentice. You have shown a great intrest in herbs and healing, so I am making you a medicine cat apprentice with special requests from Mallowleaf." As he said the last sentence, his eyes showed humor as Hawkkit's eyes lit up in excitement. "From this moment until you receive your full name, you shall be known as Hawkpaw."
She then proceeded to bound over to Mallowleaf and touched noses with the pretty tabby white medicine cat.
"Oakkit, please step forward. You have reached your sixth moon and are ready to become an apprentice. From this moment on you shall be known as Oakpaw. Your mentor will be duckfeather." Duckfeather, a white, black, and grey tortie tom, padded up to Oakpaw and touched noses with him. Then they padded back into the throng of cats.
"Clan dismissed" Darkstar stated, jumping off of the highrock. Hawkkit followed Mallowleaf in excitement. As they entered the medicine den, they heard screeches outside. Then , she smelled something strange. Then she remembered what her father had taught her.'Windclan!' she remembered. Her father had taught her quite a few battle moves, also. She leapt out and ran into a new windclan apprentice. They started tussling, and things got real when the windclan scum gave Hawkpaw a scratch to remember all the way across her shoulder. Performing the leap and hold out of rage, Hawkpaw raked the belly of her enemy with her long, sharp, hind claws.
Suddenly, she heard the windclan leader, Skystar, call, "WINDCLAN, RETREEEAAT!"
And all the Windclan warriors scrambled to their feet, dashing out of the clearing like their tails were on fire. Suddenly, Hawkpaw's vision swam in front of her, and darkness creeped on the edge of it. She started to sway, when Darkstar himself steadied her and comforted her as he picked her up and carefully set her down, in the medicine den, where she gave in to the darkness and fell into a peacefull sleep.
