Chapter 3
Plykit glanced at the clan rock nervously. She didn't feel like getting a mentor and being an apprentice. Everyone was looking at her like a worm. Ever since Wengewood at cast her out, everyone looked down at her. It has been moons since it happened, but Plykit still remembered each detail. Everytime she thought of it, she would be so hurt, it took a moment for her to get back to normal.
The clan leader glanced down proudly at her clan; her eyes moving with delight. When she got to Plykit, her eye's turned dark and Plykit winced inwardly. What did I do?
Just then a cat bumped into her and knocked her aside. " Hey! Watch it!" she called. The cat turned around and bared his teeth," What did you say?"
Plykit whimpered and shrank back. The tom was about to say something else when Mapletail waved to him," Hey, Ryepelt. Come sit with me." Ryepelt nodded, glared at Plykit for the last time, and then disappeared. Sighing with relief, Duck-kit came up and sneered," Why are you always so scared, Plykit,"
Struggling to maintain her temper, she looked up at the leader. She didn't want Rumblestar to see she was a kit who broke the warrior code. Thankfully, Rumblestar started to speak. Casting one last glance at her, Duck-kit bounded away to sit next to Vaporkit, whose eyes were dancing with excitement.
" Today, we have three more apprentices with us." Rumblestar announced," Duck-kit, Vaporkit, and Plykit." Cats started to murmur and stare at her when Rumblestar called her name. I hoped my fur isn't that messy! She had groomed it espically careful.
As she walked up, every cat stared at her. Trying to ignore the stares, she glanced up at the leader, who had jumped down the clan rock.
" These three kits are ready to become a apprentice and train to be a warrior. Duck-kit, from now on you will be Duckpaw. I will be your mentor and train you to become a warrior." Rumblestar mewed. Gasps of delight came from the crowd; hardly anyone gets trained by the clan. Indignity flashed through her, Plykit was hoping to get Rumblestar or the deputy. But that will probably be impossible, since everyone hated her.
Vaporpaw got assigned to the deputy and then finally it was Plykit's turn. She nervously fidgeted her paws after Rumblestar said what they always had to say.
" Plypaw's mentor will be Lake-eye," Rumblestar finally announced after she paused for a moment. Everyone purred delightly, while Plypaw gasped with shock!
Ohhh! Cliffhanger, I'll post the next chapter soon.
Anyway, please review!
