Chapter 3

"Hello Ripplefall" Beetlestar nodded at the blue-grey warrior. Ripplefall flicked her tail in greeting. "We have a… visitor" She went on tentatively "She's umm a kittypet". Beetlestar smiled warmly and looked at Silver. The white she cat bowed respectfully. "I will speak with Ripplefall, you to run off now" Beetlestar said.

The two cats watched Beetlestar and Ripplefall disappear into the hollow log. Silver looked at Pebblepaw curiously. "He greeted my like an old friend, like he was happy to see me. Why?" Pebblepaw looked up at her "He's always nice like that" he smiled "Beetlestar is kind to everyone"

Silver's stomach growled and she looked down red splashing her face. "That's okay" Pebblepaw laughed. "You can have something to eat. This way"

The two cats padded over to a smooth flat rock, small pieces of prey dotted the surface. Pebblepaw bend his large orange head down and grabbed a vole. He threw it down to the she cat, which looked at it puzzled. "Eat it" it nodded at the vole. She looked down at the vole for a moment before taking the smallest of bites. Her bright blue eyes lit up and she looked up at Pebblepaw. "It's amazing" she murmured more to herself than Pebblepaw. Pebblepaw grabbed a piece of prey himself, and the two settled down at ate together.

Silver gasped as she saw Ripplefall and Beetlestar exit the log den. She prodded Pebblepaw and gestured the two approaching cats. "Well?" Pebblepaw asked slightly flinching away. Beetlestar stared at Silver his green eyes locked on her blue. "Would you like to become an apprentice of Duskclan" The words echoed in Silver's head like a noisy river in a canyon. She stared at Pebblepaw but his green eyes were as wide as her own. "yes" she managed. "Great" Beetlestar smiled. He jumped to the top of the log.

"Silver, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your apprentice name, you will be known as Silverpaw. Your mentor will be Frostpetal. I hope Frostpetal with pass all of her wisdom and courage to you. Frostpetal, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Sunheart, and you have shown yourself to be Strength and Braver). You will be the mentor of Silverpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Silverpaw"

Beetlestar then flicked his tail and it was over as soon as it started.
