SulkClan Wasppaw chose a prey. He looked at Sulkstar, who nodded to his daughters who play-fought at his paws.

It had surprised everyone that Sulkstar choosen a mate, and that it had been Boneclaw. But, then again it was Sulkstar who shared very little of his personal life with his Clan.

"Watch me!" A bulky gray she-kit who looked like Sulkstar the most yowled.

Sulkstar eyes gleamed as he watched his daughter leap into Quailkit, his son, and bite down. "Great, Deathkit! Work on that move, and as a apprentice you may get to go on a serch-protrol to the new camp!"

Deathkit's eyes narrowed, a mimorizing yellow. "Really? Can i get Sixleg as a mentor? Or even him, he gos on alot of those specil protrols!" To his surpirse, Deathkit pointed at him.

Quailkit stood up. Shaking his pelt he meowed, "Don't be mouse-brained, thats Wasppaw, an apprentice!" Then the kit yowled as Sulkstar swipped at his son.

"Don't speak to Deathkit like that!" Sulkstar hissed, once again showing who he favored in the litter of his kits. "Of corse, Wasppaw will be made a warrior soon." He spoke gentler with Deathkit, thow it wasn't a queen's soft, calming whisper.

Wasppaw glanced at the nursery, Boneclaw was licking her paws clean as she had just whent hunting. Maybe she does fit Sulkstars..He blinked. Sulkstar's personaily? She was strong, loyal to only Sulkstar. Which, to say, was all of her sisters. Skulljaw and Witherfur.

"Hey, why are you just sitting around?" Witherfur growled, his mentor rised a paw ready to swat him.

"Witherfur, let Wasppaw stay and eat. He needs to look good for his ceromny." Sulkstar called, his tail lashing as Redkit, his other daughter, was gnawing on the leaders tail.

Wasppaw blinked. Ceromny? Did Deathkit's request go that far to his leader? But there nearly four whole moons away!

Sulkstar said something to Witherfur, who gave one last glare at Wasppaw before walking away.

Sulkstar rested his tail on Wasppaw's shoulder. "Go, rest." He mumbled, his gaze resting on his kits. Then he added, more sternly. "Its hard being a SulkClan warrior, so enjoy your last meal ane rest as a apprentice."

Wasppaw dipped his head. "Yes, Sulkstar."

Bursting with exciment, he hardly could think about sleeping. But, as he settled into his nest. He yawned, it was getting to sun-high and he must sleep for, he wouldn't the whole night.

So, Wasppaw closed his eyes. And for the last time, slept in the apprentices den.
