Chapter 7
"Let all cats come here for a clan meeting!" Bluefur stretched. The warriors den was practically empty. She stood up, and walked out. Most of the cats were by the bank, looking up at Crookedstar. "As you know, yesterday Lilystem and Willowclaw died. Lilystem had an apprentice, Mistypaw, and Willowclaw had an apprentice also, Streampaw. I need to give them mentors." Crookedstar looked around at the cats. "Bluefur, step forward." Bluefur gasped, and stepped forward.
"You learned different techniques when you were in ThunderClan, but Oakheart has done a good job of teaching you RiverClan's ways. I trust that you will pass on all your knowledge to Mistypaw."
"I will." Bluefur said. Mistypaw walked over, and they touched noses. Mistypaw sat down.
"Graypool, step forward. You have been a warrior for many moons now, and it is time for you to have an apprentice. You shall mentor Streampaw." Crookedstar jumped down, and headed to his den. Troutclaw, the one elder, walked over to Oakheart and talked to him. Oakheart nodded.
"So when can we start training then?" Mistypaw asked, bouncing around.
"Go and get some fresh-kill, and then we'll go and clean out to elders den." Bluefur told her.
"Okay!" Mistypaw raced over to the fresh-kill pile. Bluefur walked over to join Oakheart.
"So do you want to come hunting later?"
"Yeah sure, I'll bring Nightpaw." Oakheart said. "Oops, I need to go - I said I'd help Troutclaw bury Lilystem. Streampaw's going to help as well, and Graypool." Bluefur remembered that Willowclaw had been Graypool's sister and Streampaw's mentor.
"Okay, that's fine." Bluefur said. "We'll be in the battle training clearing."
Mistypaw ran over. "Can we go now? Please?"
Bluefur purred. "Come on then." She raced out of the camp. The whole way to the clearing she kept up the pace. When they got there Mistypaw was breathing heavily.
"Wow! You run really fast!" she panted.
"No I don't." Bluefur said. "You just run really slowly!" They sat down for a bit, waiting for Mistypaw to get her breath back.
"So is it true that you used to live in ThunderClan?" she inquired.
"Yes." Bluefur replied.
"So why did you join RiverClan?"
"Because I loved your father, and I was pregnant with you and your siblings."
"Oh. Does that mean we're half-clan?" Mistypaw asked.
"No, because I was RiverClan when I gave birth." Bluefur said. "Now, let's get training!"
"Okay." Mistypaw stood.
