"Ok, let's split up. I'll go with Mousewhisker to the ancient oak, and Dovewing, you can go with Leafpool to the old thunderpath." Cinderheart announced.

We nodded and set off in our different directions. When Leafpool and I got to the old thunderpath, I immediately saw a squirrel hunting for nuts. Well you've just become the hunted, I thought. Leafpool obviously saw too as she nodded and started making her way behind it. I waited in front of it behind a tattered bush. Just then I saw Leafpool's tail flick a couple of times, and I positioned myself steadily.

Leafpool darted forward, leaving the squirrel's only option to run straight into my claws. It tried to escape, but I gave it a swift bite and felt it go limp. "Well done!" congratulated Leafpool. "You too!" I said, my eyes glowing. "Come, we should go back to camp now. It is quite late." observed Leafpool. I nodded and carried the squirrel back to camp. I saw Sorreltail's eyes light up when we came back. "Brightheart, the hunting patrol is back!" She called through the nursery.

Brightheart made her way over to the fresh kill pile where Cinderheart and Mousewhisker's vole lay, and I added the squirrel quickly. Brightheart gave me an apologetic look for earlier, took the squirrel and hurried over to her three mewling kits.

Just then Bramblestar leaped up onto the high ledge. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the high ledge for a clan meeting." Dovewing noticed Dustpelt grumbling as he slid out of the elders den. Him, Sandstorm, Millie and Graystripe had all decided to become elders after the great battle. "How many meetings do we need a day?" Dustpelt was muttering.

"It is time we have two new apprentices. Seedkit, step forward." Seedkit bounced over to Bramblestar, but then after seeing her mother's stern face, quickly started walking. "Seedkit, from this moment on, you shall be known as Seedpaw. Your mentor will be Lionblaze. Lionblaze, you have successfully trained Dovewing to be a wealthy warrior, and now I wish for you to do the same with Seedpaw." Lionblaze touched noses with his new apprentice, and then led her over to the side of the crowd, where her parents sat looking proud.

"Lilypaw, you have decided to choose a different path from your sister, and you wish to become a medicine cat. Are you sure that is what you choose?" Bramblestar questioned the young cat. She nodded eagerly. Bramblestar also nodded. "Jayfeather, you will be Lilypaw's new mentor." She touched noses with the medicine cat, and also went to where her sibling and parents were sitting, looking even more proud now.

"Seedpaw! Lilypaw! Seedpaw! Lilypaw!" The clan cheered. "The meeting is over!" ended Bramblestar. After the meeting finished, I went to go find Tigerheart. He was washing himself next to the warriors den. I went over to greet him. "Hi." He looked up. "Hi Dovewing." Then he added in a quieter voice, "We should have kits like that someday." I purred and leant against him to show him that I agreed.

Tigerheart and I went into the warriors den which was mostly empty- most cats would be sharing tongues. As soon I flopped down into my nest, I almost instantly fell asleep, with the sound of Tigerhearts purring, and his rhythmic strokes as he licked me. I felt my eyes closing, and then there was darkness...
