This chapter is dedicated to Azureflower, as she has been very encouraging, so please check out her forum, Starleaf Woods. Also, I will try to update more often. Silverkit's pov.
Hazelbreeze bounded over. "Silverkit!" she yowled, excited to see her dear, little kit. "You missed your apprentice ceremony."
"Yes. Indeed you did." Oceanstar mewed. "All cats old enough to swim, gather beneath High Coral for a Clan meeting!"
Cats from all over came streaming towards Oceanstar. Out of dens, turning to attention from the prey pile, everywhere. They were all coming to celebrate her!
"A special time has come. Silverkit is ready to become an apprentice. Silverkit, are you ready to become an apprentice?"
"Yes." Silverkit mewed excitedly.
"From now, until you receive your warrior name, you will be called Silverpaw. Your mentor will be Pebbleblaze!"
"Silverpaw! Silverpaw!" The Clan chanted, excitedly.
Silverpaw looked proud.
Silverpaw was looking around proudly, only to be surprised at the scorn in Bubblekit's expression. What's her problem? Shouldn't she be proud of me? Isn't that what good friends do?
But Oceanstar had not finished speaking.
"Pebbleblaze and I have talked about this. Silverpaw made a big mistake running away, so she will have to be punished." Oceanstar mewed, while shocked gasps from the Clan grew.
Silverpaw was hurt. How could Oceanstar do such a thing!
Oceanstar continued; "As a result of her poor choices, Silverpaw will have to spend her first moon confined to camp."
Shocked gasps echoed around the clearing, Silverpaw's the loudest. "A moon? I just got named an apprentice and now I have to be stuck in the camp for a moon?"
Bubblekit started laughing.
Oceanstar looked around the clearing until she spotted Bubblekit. "Would you like to join her Bubblekit, since you look so eager?"
"No of course not Oceanstar, I was laughing because Silverpaw thought she could get away with no punishment. You could see on her face!" Bubblekit mewed, trying to distract everyone from the real fact-she was laughing at Silverpaw for being confined to camp for one moon.
Silverpaw felt ashamed. Bubblekit had been laughing at her for sure. Anyway, "Bubblekit" didn't sound fierce, it sounded fragile. Unlike Silverpaw, a soon to be warrior. She went over to Pebbleblaze, and mewed, "What can I do first?"
"You can go to Birchtree and ask if he can teach you how to use mouse bile, so you can rid the elders of their ticks." Pebbleblaze mewed firmly.
Fine. Let every cat be mean to me. One day, I will prove to them that I am the best warrior that ever lived! Everyone shall tremble in fear at my paws. I want to make them pay for this. And I will! Silverpaw thought firmly, on her way to the medicine den.
