Chapter 6

Six moons after Inkpool had seen the kits. And thankfully no sign of twolegs or their monsters. The last time Blossomstar had seen they were small and cute. Now they were the size of apprentices. So Blossomstar decided to give them an apprentice ceremony. "All who are able come forth and gather." Blossomstar said in the middle of the field.

Shellkit and Daisykit hurried over and sat down where their parents were. Blossomstar said "Daisykit and Shellkit have grown healthy and strong. Now they are ready to become apprentices."

Shellkit and Daisykit beamed at one another and at their mom and dad. "And now it is time to give them their apprentice names will be Shellpaw and Daisypaw. And now they sleep in the apprentices den. Their new mentors will be Inkpool and Whirlwind. I hope you will teach these two young apprentices everything you know."Blossomstar told the.

"Yes Blossomstar we will." Inkpool and Whirlwind meowed together.

After everybody congratulated the two apprentices Inkpool said "We should give you a tour of our camp." "Ok." Shellpaw said

"Let me just get Whirlwind and your sister."

For the next couple of hours Inkpool and Whirlwind showed Shellpaw and Daisypaw their border. As soon as he was finished talking about the gathering and Shellpaw would never stop asking questions like "When will the next gathering be?"and "Will I get to go?"

"As I said before Shellpaw, Every gathering is every full moon and is at the---."

"Fourtrees. I know." Shellpaw interrupted.

"Pleaselisten to what Inkpool has to say Shellpaw. This could be important." Whirlwind said as she pointed with her tail

"The Fourtrees is over in that direction. Where all four Clans meet."

"Isn't it five clans?" Daisypaw pointed out

"Yes. But StarClan isn't visible. They watch over us and guide us in the heavens." Answered Whirlwind who pointed with her tail up to the cloudless sky.

"Is there a leader?"

"There is really no leader any cat who dies gets to join StarClan. And did you know that Blossomstar and the other leaders get nine lives?" Inkpool meowed. The two apprentices widened their eyes and said

"Really?"

"Yeah. But we should be heading back now the sun is starting to set." Reported Whirlwind.

"Oh I can't wait to sleep in the apprentices den tonight." Meowed Daisypaw

"Yeah. Me too." Agreed Shellpaw. As soon as they were back at camp everyone was back in their dens sharing toungs or sleeping. Inkpool and Whirlwind grabbed a piece and went into the warriors den while Daisypaw and Shellpaw just went in their dens to have a nice sleep….
