Chapter 1

Eaglekit woke up next to his mother and sister, today was the day he and Mintkit became apprentices, and boy was he excited! He nudged his sister to get her up.

"Wake up lazy!" he mewed

"Let me sleep Eaglekit!" She protested

"Lazy." He murmured, "Fine, I'll become an apprentice without you."

"What?" she said getting up immediately

"Stop teasing your sister Eaglekit." Their mother said sitting up

"But Wishwind! I like teasing her!" Eaglekit protested

"It doesn't matter, don't do it."

"Fine." He said walking out of the nursery

He looked around camp, it was boring at this hour, and no other cats were up, so he padded into the apprentices' den to explore, Sorrelpaw was in there, so he snuck around her, and planned where he was going to place his nest.

When he exited the den Spiderkit and Shrewkit were awake, so he walked over to them and asked to play.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey Eaglekit!" Shrewkit said

"Do you want to play Mossball?" he asked them

"Sure! Do you want to wait for Mintkit?"

"Do we have too?"

"Do you not want to play with her?"

"It's just everybody in camp sees her as the perfect kit."

"I know, what ever we do, it seems she always does it better." Spiderkit agreed

"I heard her telling Wishwind yesterday, that she caught a moth, when really is was a leaf a claw in front of her."

"Everything she does she exaggerates." Shrewkit put in

The two other kits nodded.

"And she won't be able to do that after today." Eaglekit said

"And why?" Spiderkit asked looking confused

"Because we're becoming apprentices today!" Eaglekit mewed, "Duh."

"Right! Who do you think our mentors will be?" Shrewkit asked

"I hope I get Firestar!" Eaglekit said

"You won't the Clan leader as your mentor!" Sorrelpaw said walking up to them, "Clan leaders usually only mentor the deputy's kits."

"It could happen!" he protested

By now most of the Clan was awake, when Pinefoot padded out of the warriors' den, Shrewkit marveled at his strength.

"I hope I get Pinefoot as my mentor!" Shrewkit mewed

"Why do you want my father as your mentor?" Mintkit said padding up to them

"Because he's one of the best warriors in the Clans."

"If that's the case, I'll get him." Mintkit said proudly

"No, you won't!" snorted her brother, "Kits can't get their parents as their mentors!"

"That right Eaglekit." Said a voice behind him

Eaglekit looked up to see his father standing behind him, "Pinefoot! Hello!" Eaglekit squeaked

"Hello son."

"Pinefoot!" Mintkit mewed going up to her father

"Hello Mintkit."

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath highrock for a Clan meeting!" Firestar's yowl sounded throughout the camp, Wishwind, Ferncloud and Sandstorm padded out from the nursery, along with Squirrelkit and Leafkit.

"Spiderkit, Shrewkit, Eaglekit, and Mintkit have reached their sixth moon and are ready to be apprentices." He started, "Spiderkit step forward, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Spiderpaw, your mentor will be Mousefur. Mousefur you have proven yourself to be loyal and fierce in battle, pass these onto your apprentice."

Eaglekit waited impatiently until.

"Eaglekit step forward, until you receive your warrior name you will known as Eaglepaw, your mentor will be Lakefall, Lakefall you have trained Beeflower to be a loyal warrior, you will train Eaglepaw in the ways of a ThunderClan warrior."

He and his mentor touched noses, then

"Mintpaw your mentor will be Bloodfall." The smile that she had been wearing faded, Bloodfall was one of the strictest warriors in camp, she wouldn't be allowed to exaggerate now, he smiled, proud with Firestar choice for his mentor, Lakefall had taught many apprentices already, so he was in good paws.
