Chapter 9

Redkit's POV

This as her moment. The moment she had been waiting for since the day she was for what seemed like forever. Apprenticeship.

Her pelt was groomed and so were her sisters' pelts and they all sat in a line in front of Sweetbriar whose eyes were filled with pride.

"My kits this is your special day! I'll miss you sleeping next to me" she purred and nuzzled them all. Her eyes were tired she woke up at sunhigh after sitting vigil for Mintcloud.

Snowstar's voice snapped Redkit to attention and she ran over to the high branch. Stop acting like a kit! She thought and slowed down embarrassed that she was bounding around the camp while her sisters walked contently over to the meeting point. Redkit licked her fur in embarrassment and sat down below the tree.

"Today we have three eager kits ready to become apprentices" Snowstar mewed shushing the cats below. "We shall start" Snowstar mewed clearing her throat. "Cloverkit do you accept the position of training to become a medicine cat apprentice?"

"I do" Cloverkit replied. Although her older sister was sitting see you could see the excitement dancing in her eyes as she touched nose with her mentor. The traitor.

Redkit was one of the cats who didn't know what side to choose with the whole ordeal but now Flamestripe looked guilty, the evidence proved it.

"Darkflame" Snowstar mewed "Blizzardclaw trained you well and I hope you pass down his fighting skills and strength down to Dawnkit" Redkit could tell that it wasn't just physical strength Darkflame and Blizzardclaw had. They had inner strength which some cats never possessed. Dawnkit leapt up and touched nose with her mentor.

"Finally, Redkit" Snowstar mewed looking down at her niece. "Icestrike, Redpaw will be your first apprentice pass down your loyalty and determination to Redpaw" Redpaw ran up to Icestrike touching noses with the blue and white she-cat.

The white leader scanned her eyes to the three littermates, young mentors, they had all become warriors or a medicine cat in the moons the kits were alive, Flamestripe becoming the only medicine cat yesterday when Mintcloud had mysteriously died.

"Although cats may argue that you are too young to be given an apprentice I'm sure you three will give all your heart to train these apprentices"

"Cloverpaw, Dawnpaw, Redpaw, Cloverpaw, Dawnpaw, Redpaw!" The cats cheered loudly enough for all Clans too hear.

Bluemist and Hailstorm stood under the tree. "You may speak" The leader meowed puzzled.

"We have decided to move to the elders den" Bluemist meowed nodding to her mate Hailstorm.

"As you wish, I know you will find comfort there" Snowstar mewed dipping her head to the senior warriors now elders. The Clan chanted their names too but Redpaw wasn't really listening, she was lost in her mind.
