Lakestar's POV

"Hawkclaw! Enough!" I say

A lunge myself at Hawkclaw and sink my claws into his back. Hawkclaw yowls in pain. I am clearly at the advantage over Hawkclaw. A few minutes pass and I had defeated Hawkclaw.

"Hawkclaw, because of your behavior. I have no choice but to banish you from LightingClan" I say

"Don't you dare!" Hawkclaw says

"Please do it Lakestar….." Lilykit says

"I will have the ceremony right now" Lakestar says

"I will kill you!" Hawkclaw yowls as he jumps at Lilykit

I lunge at Hawkclaw and knock him down. Some warriors come into my den.

"Whitepelt get Hawkclaw" I say

Whitepelt jumps on Hawkclaw and pins him to the ground.

"Bring him out onto highrock" I say

Whitepelt drags Hawkclaw out onto hightrock.

"Let all cats who can catch a mouse gather around highrock for a clan meeting" I yowl

All of the LightingClan members come and gather around highrock.

"I have an announcement. Hawkclaw, Lilykit's father, has been abusing Lilykit. I heard by exile him from LightingClan" I say

"Hawkclaw, you filthy flea brain!" a warrior yowls

"Get out of our camp!" another warrior yowls

"I will have revenge on you little runt!" Hawkclaw yowls

"Warriors! Chase him out of our territory" I say

"Lakestar does him really mean what he says?" Lilykit asks

"I don't know Lilykit. However, we will protect you. Every member of this Clan is important to me" I say

"Okay" Lilykit says

Lilykit's POV

I was scared now that my dad was gone because I knew that he could sneak in at any time. I was always with someone, but still I couldn't help but look over my shoulder. Today I was become an apprentice I was six moons old. It had been three moons and my dad hadn't come for me yet.

"Hello Lakestar" I say

"Hello Lilykit are you excited about the ceremony today?" Lakestar says

"Of course I am" I say

"Anyone who can catch a mouse please gather over by the high rock" Lakestar says

Me and two other kits were lined up as well as one apprentice become a warrior.

"Swankit, you have reached six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Swanpaw. Your mentor will be Duskroyal. I hope Duskroyal will pass down all he knows to you." Lakestar says

"Swanpaw! Swanpaw! Swanpaw!" the clan chants

"Snowkit, you have reached six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Snowpaw. You mentor will be Stoneclaw. I hope Stoneclaw will pass down all he knows to you." Lakestar says

"Snowpaw! Snowpaw! Snowpaw!" the clan chants

Finally it was my turn. As I stepped forward I started to get butterflies in my stomach.

"Lilykit, you have reached six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Lilypaw. You mentor will be Silverbreeze. I hope Silverbreeze will pass down all she knows to you." Lakestar says

Finally it was time for the warrior ceremony. Brownpaw stepped forward towards Lakestar.

"I, Lakestar, leader of LightingClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Brownpaw, do you promise to up hold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Lakestar says

"I do" Brownpaw says

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Brownpaw, from this moment you will be known as Brownclaw. StarClan honors your braver, and we welcome you as a full warrior of LightingClan" Lakestar says

I was crying out of happiness. For once in my life I had been happy for someone. Suddenly I see someone in the bushes.
