Dawnkit happily pranced around her sister, Duskkit.

"We're going to be apprentices! We're going to be apprentices!" Dawnkit chanted, much to the annoyance of Duskkit.

Duskkit stuck out her tail in front of Dawnkit to make her trip. THUNK! Dawnkit landed flat on her face.

"What did you do that for?" Dawnkit glared at Duskkit.

"You were being annoying, I had too silence you," Duskkit examined her claws.

"Aw come on! Don't tell me your not excited that we're becoming apprentices today!" Dawnkit exclaimed happily.

"Yes, I am excited. But you don't see me prancing around like an idiot, do you?" Duskkit retorted, though you couldn't see any excitement in her eyes.

"You're just being mean," Dawnkit padded over to her friend Shrimppaw.

Duskkit silently groomed herself until a shadow loomed over her. Her dark blue eyes gazed up at Redpaw.

"Hi, Duskkit. I was wondering if you would like to share tongues with me?" the six year old twiddled his fingers.

"Sure," she replied, making Redpaw brighten up a bit.

Redpaw got down on his hands and knees and they began grooming and talking to each other, until Pinestar let out a yowl.

"Let all those old enough to catch their own prey, gather to the Treerock for a clan meeting!" Pinestar yowled out for everyone to hear.

Everyone, including Dawnkit and Duskkit padded over.

"Dawnkit and Duskkit have reached there sixth moon! I am proud to announce that they are to become apprentices today! Dawnkit, come up here," Pinestar motioned for her to come over with her tail.

Dawnkit's paws twitched and she scurried over to her leader.

"Dawnkkit, from now on, you shall be known as Dawnpaw! May StarClan light your way until you find the strength in your paws to become a warrior. Sandfur shall be your mentor," Pinestar bent down and rest her muzzle on Dawnpaw's muzzle.

Dawnpaw licked her shoulder. Sandfur walked over proudly to touch noses with his new apprentice.

"Duskkit, from now on, you will be known as Duskpaw! May StarClan light your way untl you find the strength in your paws to become a warrior. Sparrowtail shall be your mentor," Pinestar bent down to rest her muzzle on Duskpaw's muzzle.

Duskpaw licked her shoulder. Sparrowtail was slower to touch noses with her mentor, as she still got a bad vibe from her since the incident in the nursery.

"Dawnpaw!"

"Duskpaw!"

"Dawnpaw!"

"Duskpaw!"

Out of all the cats, Redpaw seemed to yowl Duskpaw's name the loudest. Once the excitement cooled down, Duskpaw padded over to her mentor.

"So, mentor, what are we going to do?" Duskpaw said in a bored manner, though her eyes seemed to gleam excitedly.

"Um, I thought we could do some battle training," Sparrowtail said uncertainly.

"Okay," Duskpaw slowly nodded, and began to pad to the outside of the camp into a small clearing a few minutes away.

Sparrowtail rushed after her apprentice, who happened to be grooming herself.

"Okay Duskpaw, I'm an enemy trying to take some of LeafClan's territory. Attack me!"

Duskpaw didn't waste any time, she zoomed, and took a leap at Sparrowtail, lunging for her head. Sparrowtail ducked just in time, but Duskpaw swished around and hooked her claws into her shoulders. Duskpaw began to claw at her back with her hind legs. Sparrowtail tried to pull her off, but Duskpaw slashed her hand, leaving a small, yet painful gash. Duskpaw clawed harder and faster now, and bit her a few times.

"Duskpaw! Stop!" Sparrowtail screeched in pain, but no prevail.

Finally, Sparrowtail unsheathed her claws and sunk them into Duskpaw's fur, and gave a hard yank, tossing her across the clearing. Duskpaw popped back up again and began grooming her dusty fur.

"How was that mentor," Duskpaw asked calmly, as if she truly had no idea that she had injured her mentor.

"Fine, but you need to be more careful, you nearly tore off my back," Sparrowtail touched one of her scratches and winced.

Duskpaw stared silently up at Sparrowtail, and padded back to camp. Sparrowtail followed shortly after. As Sparrowtail was walking over to the medicine den, she noticed Redpaw and Duskpaw sharing tongues. Sparrowtail smirked, Redpaw has been padding after her since she could walk. It was no secret that they may be mates one day. Thinking about Duskpaw, she froze, Duskpaw had been so ferocious in battle. Was she truly a trustworthy cat?
