It had been a week, most of the clan had accepted that she was there to stay, but Mousewhisker was still cautious and refused to accept her. He kept an eye on her every chance he got, it was starting to freak her out a little bit. Foxtail had been showing her and the other kits how to do a hunters crouch so far Sunkit was best at it but she could do a better crouch than Gorsekit or either of Honeytail's new kits. Lightkit and Shadowkit.
Brightstar's yowl got everyone's attention.
Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high rock. Amberkit jumped with excitement. Its time its time! Hold still muttered Honeytail who was trying to get a knot out of Amberkit's fur. But IT'S TIME! Okay okay, I got it. Yes! Shouted Amberkit as she bounded out of the nursery.
Brightstar: Amberkit 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 Amberpaw your mentor will be Dapplepelt. I hope Dapplepelt will pass down all he knows on to you.
Brightstar: Dapplepelt you are ready to take on a new apprentice. You had received excellent training from Minkstripe, and you have shown yourself to be a strong and brave warrior. You will be the mentor of Amberpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her.
Amberpaw padded up and touched noses with Dapplepelt and the Clan broke out into cheers for the new apprentice by calling out her name. Amberpaw! Amberpaw! Amberpaw! Only one cat wasn't cheering. Mousewhisker was watching her through slitted eyes. Foxtail ran over and was the first one to congratulate her. Fogpaw got there next. Sure is nice to have someone else to help with the elders, since foxtail here dumped all the work on me it's been really busy he said, good naturedly. I'll show you you're den, since I'm a medicine cat apprentice though you get the whole den to yourself! Lucky you. Tigerstrike was there next, at least you don't have to deal with foxtail snoring. He said moving quickly to avoid getting swatted by foxtail. I do not snore! He complained. Fogpaw grinned wider. Are you kidding foxtail I can hear it from the medicine den. Ughhh! Said foxtail. Then they all started laughing. Amberpaw felt more like part of the clan then she ever had. It was amazing. I wonder if Dapplepelt will let you explore the territory mused foxtail. Honestly I had hoped I could have been you're mentor. Tigerstrike told her. I mean, since I haven't had an apprentice yet. Fogpaw snorted. I bet it doesn't hurt that you think she's pretty. Well no, it doesn't hurt Tigerstrike said grinning. The whole group started laughing again until Honeytail came up to talk to Amberpaw. See ya, foxtail said as they walked away. I'm glad Brightstar picked Dapplepelt to be your mentor. He see's you like another daughter you know. Honeytail said quietly. He does? Amberpaw asked. Of course he does. Just like I do. We're both very proud of you right now. Amberpaw purred. Thanks Honeytail. I'll see you tomorrow she said, for now you should get some sleep. It took a long time to get to sleep though. The big empty den wasn't the same as the noisy nursery she was used to. Eventually she found a spot she thought would be good even when Sunkit and Gorsekit moved in in a few moons and fell asleep.
