POV: JAYPAW

Jaypaw woke up to a yowl outside the apprentice's den. She left the den quietly to see Bumblestar on one of the branches of the Hightree.

"All cats old enough to leave camp, please join under the Hightree for a Clan meeting!" Bumblestar yowled. Cats streamed from their dens. Jaypaw saw Ravenstripe with Dawnkit and Duskkit; she looked proud.

"Dawnkit, you have reached the age of 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 Dawnpaw. Your mentor will be Cloudflower. I trust Cloudflower will pass down all she knows on to you." Bumblestar started. Cloudflower stepped forward.

"Cloudflower, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Shadowlight, and you have shown yourself to be brave and an excellent hunter. You will be the mentor of Dawnpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Dawnpaw," Bumblestar continued. Dawnpaw padded up to her mentor and touched her nose.

"Duskkit, you have reached the age of 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 Duskpaw. Your mentor will be Snowdusk. I trust Snowdusk will pass down all she knows on to you." Bumblestar meowed. Snowdusk stepped forward, looking a little shocked

"Snowdusk, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from your father, and you have shown yourself to be caring and a formidable fighter. You will be the mentor of Duskpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Duskpaw," Bumblestar finished. Duskpaw scampered up to Snowdusk and touched her nose with his own.

"Duskpaw, Dawnpaw!" The Clan yowled to the sky. The two new apprentices raced to Ravenstripe and Fishleap.

"Ugh! Now we have to share the den!"

"Dovepaw! You always complain about being lonely! How can you not want new cats in the den? And they will have to help with the nests and ticks," Jaypaw meowed, her gray ears flicking. Her sister, Dovepaw, was always complaining about something. No wonder Stonespots is hard on her. Jaypaw thought.

"Stormshadow?" Jaypaw asked nervously.

"We're going with Dawnpaw, Duskpaw, Dovepaw, and their mentors," Stormshadow meowed. She nodded. Jaypaw looked around she noticed Whitewhisker pacing, he looked nervous.


"We have two new apprentices: Dawnpaw and Duskpaw, their mentors, Cloudflower and Snowdusk have already started their training. That is all for BumbleClan," Bumblestar announced.

"Dawnpaw Duskpaw!" All the Clans yowled to StarClan. Jaypaw didn't listen as Wishstar, Boulderstar, and Fieldstar shared their Clans' news. Whatever. she thought. It doesn't even matter.

"Jaypaw!"

"What?" she snapped quietly.
