Now i'm back to update once again! On to the chapter!
Chapter 11
Blazekit had just seen Hawktalon sneaking out of camp. He knew that the huge warrior wasn't doing something he was supposed to, but Blazekit decided not to follow due to what had happened the last time. Mosskit seemed to notice his absence of mind.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked him. This snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned around.
"N-nothing." Blazekit stuttered.
"Ok then Go back to whatever you were doing." Mewed Mosskit. The brown she-kit then turned around and walked away. Blazekit then gazed up at the Highbranch and saw Barkstar standing, slightly wobbling due to his lost life, at the top.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highbranch for a clan meeting!" The Sunclan leader called. All of the cats who had been in the battle patrol stopped licking their wounds to look up at Barkstar, soon followed by the queens and elders, who had been in their dens.
Blazekit padded over to sit with Gingerkit, Bluekit, Mosskit, and Mousekit.
'I'm guessing he's going to talk about the battle." Mousekit meowed. The other four cats murmured their agreement and stared up at Barkstar.
"Our patrol has returned from the battle. We won." Barkstar started. The clan exploded into cheers, "But unfortunately, we were injured badly, and I lost a life. We are now vulnerable to attack, due to our wounds."
Questions rang through the group of cats that sat under the Highbranch,
"What will we do?"
"What if we're attacked?"
"Will Darkclan come back?"
Barkstar quieted them with a flick of his tail, "We will recover hopefully before we are attacked. Remember, Darkclan is wounded too, so there is a low chance of them attacking, and Mistclan lives across beyond Fourtrees, so the real threat is Stoneclan."
"Stoneclan is known for their healing skills. They even have two medicine cats! That reputation makes them seem like the cats that would choose peace over conflict." Mosskit mewed.
"How did you learn all that?" Bluekit asked.
Mosskit shrugged, "Icefur told me."
"Ssshhh! Guys listen!" Mousekit hissed. The other four kist instantly looked back up at their leader.
"Darkclan is guaranteed to have learned their lesson. They will not hunt in Sunclan territory for a long time." Barkstar finished. The Sunclan camp broke into excited murmurs as the Sunclan leader retreated to his den.

"Wake up! It's today! Wake up quickly!" Mosskit shook Blazekit roughly back and forth.
"Wha-what is it…" Blazekit protested drowsily, but then he remembered. "We become apprentices today!" Blazekit stood up and bounced over to wake his brother, "Mousekit! We're becoming apprentices!"
"Leave me alo- YES!" Mousekit jumped from his nest and raced right out the nursery door ignoring the thick brambles that snagged in his pelt. Blazekit and Mosskit quickly followed.
We've waited so long for this! Blazekit thought as he ran.
Suddenly an irritated voice sounded from the nursery, "Get back here you three." It was Icefur.
The three soon-to-be apprentices groaned and trudged back to their mother, "You three need to quiet down when you get up! You woke me up, and almost woke up everyone else!"
"We're sorry. It's just that, we are finally going to be apprentices! We're really excited!" Blazekit apologized. Blazekit's siblings nodded their heads in agreement.
"I understand, but from here on out, make sure you're more quiet when you leave your dens. I know a few cats who don't take kindly to being woken up this early." Icefur told them.
"Yes Icefur!" Blazekit, Mousekit, and Mosskit mewed. Then they bounded away into camp. It was a bright and sunny day. The golden sun shone down into the forest making the leaves on the trees shimmer. A perfect day for their first training.
"What should we do until the ceremony?" Mosskit asked.
"I'm not sure, but we can probably think of something." Mousekit replied.
"Maybe some kind of game?" Blazekit suggested.
"That sounds great!"
It was sunhigh and every cat in Sunclan was awake and patrolling or hunting. Blazekit and his siblings had been playing all sorts of games throughout the day to pass the time until their apprentice ceremony.
"I wonder who our mentors will be?" Blazekit wondered aloud.
"So do I! I hope I get a great senior warrior!" Mosskit exclaimed.
"I think it would be cool to get a young and cheerful cat for a mentor." Mousekit mewed.
"Well, we can't find out until the-" Blazekit's mew was cut off when a loud yowl rang across camp. Barkstar had climbed to the Highbranch and was announcing the traditional words to signal a clan meeting.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highbranch for a clan meeting!"
It's time!
