Chapter 3~ ShadowClan's New apprentices

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Clanrock for a Clan meeting!" Cedarstar yowled. My littermates and I hurtled out into the clearing. We were FINNALLY becoming apprentices! We would soon be able to join Clawpaw and Nightpaw in their den, and the rest of the clan would stop calling us kits. We ran up to the Clanrock and looked down at our fellow warriors. We would all join them in the warriors den soon, maybe have apprentices of our own. I was so lost in thought that I almost didn't notice my sister being given her new name. "From this day forward, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Fernpaw. Your mentor will be Crowtail." Crowtailrushed forward to touch noses with my sister who, given her new name, appeared bigger than usual. I was next. "Blackkit, from this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Blackpaw. Rowanberry will be your mentor." Although my paws were tingling with excitement, I composed myself enough to walk forward and proudly touch noses with the ginger she-cat who would train me to be a great warrior.

But I couldn't help but think about the dream I had so long ago. Was I the cat with the wrong name? Shadowstar had said that he would suffer many sacrifices, before telling me that I would suffer many sacrifices as well. Could that mean that I was the cat with the wrong name? Suddenly something snapped in my head. My name was Blackpaw, but I had white fur! Could this mean that I was the cat with the wrong name? I shook my head to clear it, and chanted my brother's name. He had been given Scorchwind as a mentor. Flintpaw ran down to join my sister and me. I smiled at him. Whatever this prophecy was, it hadn't affected me yet! And I don't think it ever will.
