"WE ARE GOING TO BE APPRENTICES!!!" Smokekit screeched.
Willowkit rolled her eyes. Her brother was always loud.
Their mother, Redgaze, had washed them for the 3rd time.
"Mother! " Birdkit squealed.
" Hush." Redgaze said sternly.
It was sunhigh by the time Firestar called a meeting.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join under The Highledge for a clan meeting." Firestar yowled.
"This sunhigh, we gather together to name five new apprentices. Birdkit, Rainkit, Willowkit, Darkkit, and Smokekit, come forward. From this day forward, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will be called Birdpaw. Brightheart, you will begin Birdpaw's training. I expect you to pass on everything you know about Star Clan and the warrior code. . From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, this apprentice will be called Rainpaw. Berryblossom, you will begin Rainpaw's training. I expect you to pass on everything you know about StarClan and the warrior code. From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, this apprentice will be called Smokepaw. Sandfire, you will begin Smokepaw's training. I expect you to pass on everything you know about StarClan and the warrior code. From this day forward, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will be called Willowpaw. I will begin Willowpaw's training. I will pass on everything I know about StarClan and the warrior code. From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, this apprentice will be called Darkpaw. Berrynose, you will begin Darkpaw's training. I expect you to pass on everything you know about StarClan and the warrior code." Firestar finished.
"Darkpaw,Smokepaw,Willowpaw,Birdpaw, and Rainpaw!" ThunderClan chanted.
Redgaze's pelt was burning with happiness. It all turned to dread when when she saw Jayfeather. He was looking at Darkpaw with horror in his sightless eyes. Uneasiness pricked at her pelt. Jayfeather looked at her and slightly shook his head no. No what? Redgaze thought.
The next day in Darkpaw's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ughhh, I got Berrynose, the annoying stubborn stuck-up warrior. Darkpaw thought.
I need to toy with him... He thought gleefully
As Berrynose showed him through ThunderClan, Darkpaw called out.
"Hey, Berrynose, did you know about a cat called Honeyfern? Did you love her?"
Berrynose blinked. Then turned around and snarled in his apprentice's face.
"Yes and do not speak of her." He hissed.
"What'd she do, reject you?" Darkpaw snickered.
Berrynose snarled "NO!" and jumped on top of his apprentice, digging his claws into the other tom's back.
This will be perfect… Darkpaw thought.
"Help!" he yelped.
As Berrynose dug his claws into him, Firestar and Willowpaw bounded out of the brush. Firestar bowled Berrynose over and held him down.
"Darkpaw!" Willowpaw yowled.
She helped him up and back to camp.
As he walked into the Medicine cats den, he flashed Berrynose a sly grin.
" Why did you attack your apprentice?" Firestar asked Berrynose shaply.
"Firestar,something is not right with him. He was using Honeyfern to bolster me. Thats not right." Berrynose replied.
Firestar took this in.
"I don't want to be his mentor any more because..." Berrynose trailed off.
Firestar understood.
"Fine." He said
Is Darkpaw really evil? Firestar asked himself.
He's just an apprentice. Firestar told himself
Just an apprentice...
