Chapter 10 – On My Mind

A moon passed after the fox attack and every cat had recovered from the shock. Sunpaw kept busy with her training.

"No Sunpaw. You've got to hit me. Hard," Heatherfoot was telling her.

'But then I might take my anger out on you and hurt you!' Sunpaw thought.

"I guess I'm just tired today and can't concentrate." It wasn't entirely a lie. She was tired. Tired of feeling an empty hole inside of her. She knew what was missing. Seedpaw. Deep down, she knew she would never be able to forget him.

"Well," Heatherfoot interrupted her thoughts, "We could stop now and start fresh tomorrow."

"Ok," Sunpaw said, "I'll go visit Dawnpaw." She padded off to the medicine cat clearing. She found Dawnpaw pulling a thorn out of Darkfire's pad.

"There. It's out," Dawnpaw said with a sigh. Darkfire just grunted and walked away.

"I swear, that cat has no manners," muttered Dawnpaw, "Hey Sunpaw."

"Hey. I need to talk to you."

"Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting," a voice called, interrupting her conversation.

"Tell me after the ceremony, ok?" said Dawnpaw heading towards the clearing.

"Yeah, sure," replied Sunpaw following her sister.

When the two exited the den, they saw Wishpool and her two kits bouncing out of the nursery.

"Wishpool's kits must be becoming apprentices," Sunpaw said.

"It's about time, too," replied Dawnpaw.

"From the moment on, until you receive your warrior names, you shall be known as Shadepaw and Streampaw. Clovertail shall mentor Shadepaw and Mosshead Streampaw," announced Featherstar.

"Shadepaw! Streampaw!" the Clan cheered.

After the ceremony, Sunpaw told Dawnpaw what she was thinking.

"I guess only time can make you feel better," Dawnpaw told her sister.

"Yeah, I guess so," she replied.

"Come on," said Dawnpaw, "Let's get some sleep."
