Frost On Gentle Willow: Sorry about the grammar mistakes in the last chapter. Oh! I almost forgot the disclaimer: Me and Spiritflare do not own Warriors! We only own this story and it's characters!

Spiritflare of Starclan: What she said!


Chapter 2:

Moonkit's POV(time skip)

I shiver in excitement as mom grooms me and Sunkit. "Stand still!" Lilydapple snaps, but I know she is just as excited as I am, if that's possible. Soon mom is done grooming us.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join me beneath the high-branch for a clan meeting," Spiritstar yowls. As soon as every cat is gathered in the clearing, Spiritstar starts.

"Sunkit and Moonkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. Moonkit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Moonpaw. Your mentor will be Beetleclaw. I hope Beetleclaw will pass down all he knows on to you."

I listen carefully at the ceremonial words. "Beetleclaw, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Snowleaf, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and strong. You will be the mentor of Moonpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Moonpaw."

As I touch noses with my mentor, he whispers, "I will make you the best apprentice ever." And I whisper back, "I won't let you down." Then we step down as Spiritstar speaks again.

"Sunkit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Sunpaw. Your mentor will be Stormpool. I hope Stormpool will pass down all she knows on to you."

Sunpaw's eyes are shining as the ceremony goes on. "Stormpool, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have mentored Ebonyheart well, and you have shown yourself to be wise and independent. You will mentor Sunpaw."

They touch noses then joins me and Beetleclaw. I feel hot in embarrassment as the clan chants our names, "Sunpaw! Moonpaw! Sunpaw! Moonpaw!"

Mother and father looks as though they will burst into pride. "Congratulations," purrs Nightpaw who had been apprenticed not too long ago. "What will we do first?" I ask my mentor.

"First we will explore the territory," Beetleclaw answers. "Can Sunpaw come?" I ask. "No, sorry," says Stormpool. I feel my tail droop in disappointment, this is the first time we've separated.

Beetleclaw stares at me in sympathy. "Follow me," he says. I nod and follow him out of camp and into Silverclan territory. We soon stop next to an odd smelling bush.

"Ok, what do you smell?" I left my head and taste the air, "a strange pine scent, something delicious, and water." "Good," my mentor purrs.

"The pine scent is Flameclan, the delicious scent is prey, and the water you smell is the stream, well done!" I feel a spark of pride from my mentor's praise.

Sunpaw's POV

I was disappointed that I didn't come along with Moonpaw. Stormpool took me to this wide open clearing.

"This is training hollow."Stormpool said."This is where I'm going to teach you to hunt."I felt so excited that I was learning hunt already! Stormpool took a Moss ball and put in in front of me.

"Pretend this Moss ball is a mouse. Show me how you will stalk it." He said. as I stocked up on the Moss ball,then I pounced, and ripped the ball to shreds.

"Good,now listen and see if you can find something real." He said as I listened then a found something.A squirrel. I creeped up quietly then I pounced on it,and killed it. It was a HUGE squirrel!

"Nice!" Strompool said as we headed back to camp. I saw Moonpaw looking tired.

" Moonpaw!Look! Look! I caught something! Stormpool taught me hunting! What did you do today?"I said almost jumping to the sky.

"You got to hunt? No fair! All I got to do is tour the territory."Moonpaw said sadly.

"Don't worry,I talked with Strompool for you two can do battle training together!" Beetlewhisker said.

Moonpaw's POV

I purred, finally we get to train together! I thought with joy. Me and Sunpaw then shared prey. "It looks like the sun is setting," I said. I looked at Sunpaw and saw that she was nodding.

I yawned then said, "I'm tired, let's sleep." I padded into the apprentices den with Sunpaw following me and I found that there were two nests that where already made for them.

Sunpaw padded into one of them and curled into a ball. I went into the other one, and out my tail on my nose and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

~~~Three Hours Later~~~

I woke up and realized it was moon-high. I wonder what woke me up, I thought then I heard voices. "We need to talk, it's about Sunpaw," i-is that mother. "Your right," father?

Then I heard their paw steps pad away way. I nudged Sunpaw awake, "wake up," I hissed. The golden she-cat groggily opened her eyes, "what?" "Follow me," I whisper loudly.

She yawned and followed me in the middle of camp. "What do you want?" She asks, even a kit could tell she was annoyed. "It's about mother and father," I tell her.

Sunpaw immediately wakes up, "what about them? are they hurt!" "SHH! No they're fine and whisper. We don't want to wake anyone," Sunpaw nods in understanding, I then taste the air.

"Found their scent," I whisper in triumph. I follow the scent and realize it leads outside, why would they need to go outside of camp? I follow the scent with unease.

"Why are we following them again?" Sunpaw asks. "Because they were talking about you," I explain. I soon stop dead as I hear voices, "This seems far enough from camp."

I shove Sunpaw under a bush and go in it too. I narrow my eyes as I stare at my parents through the bush. "I-I think someone's here," says Lilydapple. "Probably a bird," says father.

"We need to tell Sunpaw, we've been keeping this secret from her, her hole life." I feel Sunpaw freeze next to me. "No, it just doesn't seem like the right time," Leopardspots said.

"We have to tell her and Moonpaw that Sunpaw isn't a Silverclan cat, just a kit we found on ours and Flameclan's border." I just about stopped myself from gasping in shock.

I risked a glance at Sunpaw and found different emotions blazing in her eyes, hurt, confusion, anger, and horror. And I felt the same feeling crawling inside me. I wanted to wail.

Wail like a kit, to beg my mother to say it isn't true. I shouldn't have been here, the pain is too much! How could my own parents lie to me and poor Sunpaw. I feel rage inside me.

"L-let's just go back to camp," I whisper to Sunpaw. She barely moves her head as she nods.

~~~back at camp~~

Sunpaw's POV

I could barely sleep that night, I was so shocked.

"SUNPAW!" Moonpaw yelled waking me up. I was so tired. I slowly padded in the padded in the clearing and saw Stormpool, Moonpaw,and Beetleclaw. Oh my Starclan! I forgot I had battle training today with Moonpaw! I'm so tired...I thought as a padded slowly to my Clanmates.

"Are you ok?" Stormpool said.

"Yeah..." I said even though I wasn't ok.

"How about you rest till the afternoon, and I will have Dawnheart check you out for illness?" Strompool said.

"Ok," I said as a padded to the apprentice's den.

Moonpaw's POV

I watched Sunpaw walk into the apprentices den. Then in my mind I vowed, I will help you find your real parents, I promise. "Moonpaw, battle training," said Beetleclaw. I nodded and ran to him.


Frost On Gentle Willow: Did we rush it too much? I feel like we did, oh well please review.

Spiritflare of Starclan: Again...What she said.
