Hi fellow warrior cats fans! Sorry for a short chapter, but I just wanted to get it out so you could read it! Chapter 4 is coming soon!
Loveclan's Life |:| Chapter 3
Maplepaw slowly pulled herself up, noticing most of the other cats doing the same. She bent her head to lick the come off her fur, looking over at Rainpaw. He was doing the same, before padding back to the den. Maplepaw walked over to the freshkill pile, picking out a fat shrew. She went to the edge of the camp to eat.
Maplepaw curled up next to the other apprentices, falling asleep quickly. She woke up through the night to the snores of her clanmates. She eventually gave up on sleeping and crawled over her clanmates into the clearing. Her mentor, Tornfeather, could be heard in Cedarstar's den, talking about the clan. "She'll get Beech... Yes, yes, I know... I know it's early to think about it... Beech'll be perfect..." Some of Cedarstar's words could be heard.
Maplepaw awoke in the morning, laying in the clearing. Cedarstar stretched as she walked out of her den, Tornfeather following close behind. Cedarstar had a look of disappointment on her face as she sat in the clearing. Tornfeather sat beside the she-cat, grooming her gently.
"All cats old enough to bear kits gather in the clearing for a clan meeting!" Cats emerged from their dens, gathering around Cedarstar. Tornfeather moved away, leaving Cedarstar alone. "Today we have a new member of Loveclan. Specifically a new slave..." Cedarstar said, head drooping. Beechpaw's jaw dropped. He would be a slave now.
"Beechpaw will now be known as Beech, as he does not deserve the name of a clanmate." Cedarstar's voice rang across the clearing. Beech's mentor, Mudsplasher, glared at him in disgust. Maplepaw watched, her heart twisting with pity.
