Today was the day me and my brothers become apprentices, and they were very excited to get started. It was sun high by now and they wouldn't shut up about it. We all stayed with each other as one last of day where we could just relax all together. It was almost peaceful around and that gave us time to think and play. We all thought that there might not be enough cats to train us, but we still have high hopes. I tried to sleep through out the day, but my brothers were worried that i'll sleep through our ceremony. And above all that Vinetail has been grooming me nonstop because she didn't know when my ceremony was going to be.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath high ledge for a clan meeting," Bramblestar yowled. My brothers bounder up like lightning and sprinted to high ledge, while I just kept a steady pace. I sat In between Eaglekit and Goosekit ready to receive my mentor. "We have six new kits who are ready to become apprentices of Thunderclan. Crowkit from this day forward until you have received your warrior name you will be known as Crowpaw, Spiderleg you have served your clan and taught many apprentices and I hope you'll pass down all your knowledge to young Crowpaw," he meowed. I watched as Spiderleg touched noses with my brother in anticipation. I wonder who I'll get... although as long as i'm not a medicine cat it doesn't matter. "Goosekit, from now you'll be known as Goosepaw, Dovewing You have done good in training Oakclaw, so I know you will do good in training him. Duckpaw from now on until you receive your warrior name Lionblaze will mentor you," he mewed. Wow everyone got great mentors even Eaglepaw who got Jayfeather. Ravenpaw got Beefur and I'm about to get mine now. "And finally Hawkkit from now on until you get your warrior name you will be know as-" He did't get to finish his sentence.
"Bramblestar are you sure she deserves to become an apprentice?" my mother hissed. I looked at my mother in shock and sadness. I put my head down in shame unable to look at the rest of the clan, for I was too embarrassed to even look at my brothers. "I mean look at her she hardly looks like a warrior," she growled. I heard a deep growl and I looked up to see Bramblestar growling with his tail lashing.
"Owlfur," he growled. "Hawkpaw is perfectly capable of being an apprentice, and this is your last warning i'm giving you regarding you kit. If you have a problem with it then leave the clan," he hissed. I kept my eyes glued to the ground feeling bad about this. "Now if I may continue, Hawkpaw your mentor will be Talonflame," he meowed. "Talonflame I think you are ready to get your first apprentice I know you will make Hawkpaw a true warrior," he dismissed.
"Crowpaw Goosepaw Duckpaw Ravenpaw Eaglepaw Hawkpaw!" the clan roared. For the first time ever I felt a sense of pride take over me. I loved how the clan cheered for us. Soon cats started to leave and I was left with my red furred mentor.
"Hello Hawkpaw it's been a long time sense we talked in an actual conversation," he purred. I nodded in agreement. "For today I think I'll show you the borders in which we share," he meowed. I nodded.
"Yes I agree Talonflame," I meowed. He gave a nod and began to walk with me following close behind. I followed with through out the forest until we came upon a river to a more open area.
"This is the Windclan border Hawkpaw. Windclan is full of swift cats and they like to hunt rabbits," he told me. "Their leader is Onestar and his deputy is a large male cat named Cloudstrike. When you first look at him it doesn't seem like he's a Windclan cat, he seems more like a Shadowclan cat." He had a grimace on his face when he thought of it. "One time I got in a fight with him in a border battle and he gave me the scar on my back," he meowed. I looked in shock at my friend as he got up and walked away.
"Sir, what happened in that battle?" I asked. But he ignored me and kept walking, for it must have been personal. In the distance I could see pine trees along the area. "Talonflame where are we going now?" I asked. He walked faster pushing me slightly before running away laughing.
"To the Shadowclan boarder!" he laughed. I stood in shock before understanding what was happening. I grinned and broke out into a sprint chasing and getting right behind him. I may not like to talk much but playing games like this makes me happy.
