Hey guys. Here is chapter 3!
Chapter 3
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" A moon had passed, and now it was time for Featherkit, Starkit, and Hawkkit's apprentice ceremony. Golden leaves fluttered down as Ivystar took her place on the Highledge.
Ivystar waved the three kits forward. "Featherkit, Starkit, and Hawkkit, you have all reached the age of six moons. Featherkit, from now on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Featherpaw. Your mentor will be Robinsong." Robinsong padded forward toward Featherpaw. She nodded at Robinsong respectfully. She's a good warrior, Featherpaw thought.
Ivystar carried on. "Starkit, from now on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Starpaw. Your mentor will be Oakstep." A brown tabby strode up to Starpaw. She beamed, excited to have a good mentor.
"Now, Hawkkit, you shall be known as Hawkpaw until you receive your warrior name. You will be mentored by Rosethorn." Ivystar decided. Rosethorn, a sleek black she-cat, walked up the Hawkpaw slowly.
"Featherpaw! Starpaw! Hawkpaw!" The Clan chanted. Featherpaw beamed in pride and went in search of her mother and father.

Featherpaw found Cloverstripe and Thornfur, her father, at the back of the crowd. Thornfur hurried to them, Cloverstripe close on his tail. "We are so proud of you three!" Cloverstripe exclaimed. Featherpaw pressed her pelt into her mother's, relaxing for a heartbeat or two before she would have to start her long apprentice training.

Lilypaw padded up to Featherpaw and Starpaw. "Hey, do you want me to show you where to sleep?" She offered. They nodded and sprang after her towards the apprentices' den.
"Wow, it's a lot bigger than the nursery!" Starpaw walked in, Featherpaw following her. Lilypaw nodded. "Part of that is because we don't have very many apprentices right now. We have Stormpaw," a dark grey tabby waved his tail at Featherpaw from the back of the den, "Moonpaw," another tom nodded at Starpaw, "and me. And now you three!" Waving her tail at a nest, she meowed, "that's Hawkpaw's nest. He just left to go train."
Featherpaw hopped over to a spot between Starpaw and Stormpaw, and scratched together some moss for her nest. "I'll be right here," she decided. "I think I'll go find Robinsong now, so we can train before the day is over." Starpaw nodded. "I'll come with you," she purred. "It's going to be so fun!"
Ok, guys, that's it for now. Review please and follow for more!
