Mosspath: this is a very exciting chapter, well for Rainstorm and I.

Rainstorm:yeah, we get t-

Mosspath: Rainstorm, how many times do I have to tell you, well actually this is the first time, but still. (turns back to readers) huff, anyway, I guess, you've err, already guessed what's happening but still.

Rainstorm: what, I was only going to tell them that we-

Chapter 8

Ceremonies

Rainkit was lying in the nursery thinking, when she heard Runningstar call,

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under highrock for a clan meeting!"

what's all that about? Thought Rainkit. But she tumbled out of the nursery with Mosskit, Bravekit and Shadeclaw anyway. They gathered round her in a little fluffy huddle. Runningstar was standing precariously on top of highrock and was staring down at them with warmth in his amber eyes.

"Today it pleases me to announce new apprentices."

Rainkit and Bravekit swelled with pride while Mosskit looked on sadly, Rainkit soon to be paw shot her a look of sympathy.

"Rainkit, Bravekit come here."

They bounded to the foot of highrock quickly.

"It is my pleasure to make these two kits apprentices at last. Lionpelt you are a new warrior but you have shown great bravery and loyalty and you will make a good mentor to Rainpaw. Brightail the clan honours you for your thoughtfulness and kindness and you will make a good mentor to Bravepaw."

The two newly named apprentices stepped forward and touched noses with their mentors and swelled with pride. Runningstar now began,

"Now it comes to my attention that we have a new member, Mosskit come forward."

Rainpaw watched her new friend take a trembling step forward. Runningstar addressed the clan to inform them that Mosskit was now a full member of WindClan.

"Flowerpool you are without an apprentice and I have spoken with our newest member and she wishes to fill this place. Are you content with that?"

"Yes Runningstar she will learn much from me."

"Very well, until you receive your full name you will be known as Mosspaw!"

Mosspaw stepped forward and touched noses with her mentor.

" Rainpaw! Bravepaw! Mosspaw!" the clan yowled their approval.

Mosspaw sat silently in shock. She could hardly believe it! She was a medicine cat apprentice!

"Well Mosspaw is that satisfactory?" the leader was staring amused at her.

"Yes. Yes its the best thing ever." Mosspaw purred faintly.

Rainpaw, Bravepaw and Mosspaw huddled together purring their pleasure.

"Work starts now you three!"

Brightail and Lionpelt came up to the little group and hurried their own apprentices away, leaving Mosspaw to find Flowerpool and begin her apprentice training.

Mosspath: sorry it's sooo short, if I wrote it would be quite a bit longer. I mean, I found like 10 zillion places she could make it longer!

Rainstorm: huh! That's not fair. I just don't ramble on like you do

Mosspath: whatever, still too short...

Rainstorm: grrrrr

Mosspath: (cough) Tigerstar (cough). Next chapter to come soon!
