Chapter Nine
Fireheart limped back to camp and into the medicine den settling into his nest, glad to see that Yellowfang was still asleep. Then he thought about how he had told Cinderpelt about his fears about Tigerclaw, and felt relieved now that she would be prepared. He couldn't help but think about how Cinderpelts fur felt pressed against his, and the way her blue eyes always shone. Smiling he fell asleep waking up the next morning feeling refreshed even though he had spent most of the night with Cinderpelt. He had just finished grooming his fur when Bluestar called a meeting and he limped out of the medicine den and over to the high rock.
"Today we are glad to welcome a new apprentice to the clan, Cloudkit has reached the age of six moons," Bluestar meowed pausing before continuing. "Cloudkit until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Cloudpaw and Cinderpelt will be your mentor," she yowled.
Fireheart smiled and watched as Cinderpelt and Cloudpaw touched noses before Bluestar dismissed the meeting. Then he walked over to them still smiling, "Congradulations," he told them meeting Cinderpelts gaze before quickly looking away and saw Cloudpaw watching him strangely. He quickily looked away from Cloudpaw wondering if he had seen the look he had shared with Cinderpelt. "Well, I hope you two get along," he meowed before limping away.
Cinderpelts POV
Even though Cinderpelt had known that she was going to get Cloudpaw as her apprentice she was still pleased. Her enthusiasm only increased when Fireheart limped over to them and congradulated them, but when Fireheart met her gaze and quickily looked away she realize that the congratulations was meant more for her then it was for Cloudpaw. Out of the corner of herReyes she couldn't help but notice her newapprentice giving her secret mate a funny look. For a minute Cinderpelt couldn't breath in fear that Cloudpaw had seen the love between them and would tell Bluestar, or Tigerclaw. Taking a deep breath she calmed herself just as Fireheart limped away and she glanced at Cloudpaw. "Are you ready to learn the territory?" she asked him cheerfully.
"Of course I am?" Cloudpaw meowed gazing up at her.
"Okay, let's go," she meowed and led her apprentice towards the camp entrance and out of camp.
The next chapter will be about Cinderpelt showing Cloudpaw the territory and I'm thinking of letting Cloudpaw find out about Fireheart and Cinderpelt. Should I let Brackenfur find out as well.
