Chapter 2
Rabbitkit smiled as
he watched his sister and Tanfur. It was unmistakable why they were
such good friends. The thought that lingered came to mind: how could
Icekit and I be so different? Rabbitkit was so quiet, calm, and
polite-whereas Icekit was exactly the opposite; loud, excited, rude,
and nosy. His father's words entered his mind. "She takes after
her mother." Rabbitkit couldn't make sense of the phrase. His
father, Skywing, and his mother, Palmheart, reminded him nothing of
Icekit.
His thoughts were interrupted as he heard Jadestar
calling. Forgetting all about what was troubling him, Rabbitkit
hastily licked his soft brown fur into place, and hurried toward the
Highrock. Icekit was already sitting in front of the crowd, her
fluffy white chest puffed out and her glossy pelt groomed until it
sparked in the moonlight. Rabbitkit nervously took a seat beside his
confident sister. Jadestar stepped into the clearing, followed by
Skywing, who had just gotten back from patrol. He surveyed his kits
with a proud gleam in his blue and amber eyes.
Jadestar stopped
to have a quick word with Cedarpelt, the dark ginger tom who was the
medicine cat. Cedarpelt nodded and padded side by side with Jadestar
as the reached the Highrock. Cedarpelt sat down at the bottom and
surveyed the crowd with his wide amber eyes.
Blackkit had arrived as well. He was a black tom with a creamy white chest and paws. He smiled at Flowerheart, his mother, and sat down beside Icekit.
Jadestar leapt onto the Highrock.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting." she yowled. The few cats that weren't already there slipped out of the dens, and gathered on the outskirts of the crowed.
"Today we are proud to accept three new apprentices into MoonClan. Who wants to go first?" mewed Jadestar. Icekit stepped forward eagerly. Jadestar stared blankly at her.
"Icekit, from now on until you earn your warrior name, you shall be called Icepaw." Jadestar yowled. Icepaw raised her head proudly.
"Icepaw, your mentor will be Tanfur." Jadestar concluded. Icepaw joyfully bounded up to Tanfur and touched her nose to his. He whispered something to her, and she bounded back to her spot.
"Blackkit, from now on until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be called Blackpaw." yowled Jadestar. "Blackpaw, I shall mentor you." Blackpaw's face registered nothing but shock. His mouth gaped open as he dipped his head respectfully to his leader. He then trotted back to sit next to Icepaw. Rabbitkit anxiously stepped forward, his legs trembling with anticipation.
"Cats of MoonClan." yowled Jadestar. "The time has come to train another medicine cat apprentice. Rabbitkit, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and care only for your clan? You will also be forbidden to take a mate. Is this what you wish?"
Rabbitkit dipped his head. His heart was beating faster then the fastest rabbit, the spirits of his warrior ancestors watching him from the stars.
"Yes." he mewed.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, from now until you have been given your full medicine cat powers, you shall be known as Rabbitpaw. Cedarpelt will teach you the ways of the medicine cat." Rabbitpaw stepped forward to touch noses with the ginger tom.
The rest of the clan began chanting the new apprentices' names. They gathered around the three young cats, cheering for them and welcoming them to the clan life.
A dark grey she-cat trotted up to the cats. Rabbitpaw remembered that her name was Mistpaw, the only apprentice until now.
"Congratulations!" she mewed happily. "Now I'm not the only apprentice in the den anymore." She gazed at them with happiness in her wide eyes.
"Come on, it's late, lets get some sleep." the pretty she-cat led the way to a shadowy clump of bracken. She squeezed through the brambles and disappeared into the den. Icepaw and Blackpaw followed her. Mistpaw stuck her head out through the entrance of the den.
"Are you coming Rabbitpaw?" she mewed. "Oh, that's right; you sleep in the medicine cat den. Oh well, goodnight!" her head disappeared into the den.
Rabbitpaw made his way across the clearing. He entered the lichen-draped medicine cat den. Cedarpelt was already in there. The old tom lifted his head and blinked in greeting. He flicked his tail toward the corner, and Rabbitpaw saw that there was a small nest. Rabbitpaw tucked his paws under his chin and fell asleep.
