I don't own anything from the Warriors series, they belong to Erin Hunter. I own nothing but my OCC. I do not profit from making this. Happy early Easter everyone, be sure to review when you get a moment, I want to be sure I still have an interesting story.
Today was the day Lilykit had dreaded, Goldenkit and Peachkit's apprentice ceremony. Bluestep was cleaning the siblings up with swift licks; Goldenkit was going to become a warrior's apprentice, while Peachkit was going to be Puddlestep's apprentice. Peachkit had told her and Goldenkit after she spoke with both Puddlestep and Lightstar. Lilykit tried to look happy for the two but inside she was so sad she could let out a yowl.
"I'm so excited I can't wait!" Goldenkit exclaimed practically jumping in his fur
"Same here," Peachkit mewed, she appeared calmer then her brother but she was fidging with her paws scraping the ground. Lightstar's voice could be heard booming outside the den.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here under Highmound for a clan meeting." The two siblings slowly padded out with their mother trailing behind them, as Rainheart padded out to join them she motioned Lilykit with her tail
"You can watch the ceremony from here." she whispered, Lilykit crept up and poked her head up from the entrance of the nursery and she could see that all the cats had gathered. The two siblings sat closest to Highmound. Barkclaw was sitting outside the Elder's den; Leafpaw emerged from the apprentice's den and sat next to Nightwhisker. All the cat's pelts meshed together of Rainclan.
"I've called this meeting on account of making these kits apprentices, Peachkit and Goldenkit have reached their sixth moon and are ready to be apprenticed," Lightstar looked over towards his deputy
"Graypelt, you battle skills and courage has aided the clan in the harshest of times, I trust you will pass these skills onto Goldenkit," Goldenkit padded over to Graypelt and the two touched noses.
"Puddlestep you have chosen Peachkit as your apprentice, I trust you shall teach her to become a fine medicine cat," Peachkit ran over to Puddlestep and touched noses with her
"From this day until you receive your warrior and medicine cat's name you will be known as Goldenpaw and Peachpaw, may Starclan light your path." The meeting was adjourned and the clan continued their daily routines. Lilykit came out of the nursery and ran towards Goldenpaw.
"Congrats Goldenpaw," she mewed
"Ya thanks," he replied
"Goldenpaw come!" his mentor yelled
"Sorry I gotta go!" and he ran off to meet his mentor
'Maybe Peachpaw will talk to me,' she thought as she ran over o the medicine cat's den
"Hey Peachpaw are you-"but she was cut off by Puddlestep
"Quiet Lilykit I'm teaching Peachpaw, there is much to teach her," Puddlestep said
"Oh ok…" with her tail drooped and ears flat to her head Lilykit padded back to the nursery and sat down
'We're still friends, right?' Lilykit's gaze drifted over to the peach seed, trotted over to the seed and picked it up with her mouth and padded out of the nursery she walked behind the den and into the forest, she traveled till she couldn't see the camp behind her anymore. She dug a hole in the grass and gently placed the seed in the hole and buried it.
'Puddlestep said peaches don't really grow around here, I hope this one does,' she thought, she looked around
'I better find a way to mark this spot,' she noticed some twigs on the ground and placed them in square around where the seed was buried.
'I sure hope this little seed grows,' she thought, she felt a raindrop fall on her nose, she sniffed the air and looked up at the sky. She quickly made a run back to camp, just in time to hear her mom calling for her
'I hope the seed don't drown in the rain' she thought while being curled up beside her mom in the nursery, a flash of lightning blinded her for a second and a loud crackle echoed outside.
'I wonder where the patrols are?' just as the thought crossed her mind pawsteps were running through puddles then stopped
'They must have just returned' Lilykit stood up and walked over to the entrance of the nursery
'Looks like Goldenpaw won't get much training today' the raining seemed endless, it didn't seem like it would let up anytime soon
"Lilykit, why don't you get some sleep? You'll catch cold if you keep standing there," Rainheart mewed
"Coming mom," Lilykit replied and padded over to her mom and curled back up, as she slept she dreamt about being with Goldenpaw and Peachpaw again.
