Adderkit trotted back proudly, his first catch ever swinging from his muzzle as he approached the elders den. "Snakefang I caught a mouse" He said happily setting it in front of the tom proudly. "Congratulations Adderkit" Snakefang purred nudging his head with his muzzle "Your going to be a great hunter"
Adderkit was now 5 moons, soon he would be an apprentice. "Snakefang can you tell me a story?" Snakefang glanced at him "Which story Kit?" Adderkit burst out purring "The one where Branchstar found the Valley" Snakefang glanced at Echostep in amusement. "Okay but you have to sit still-" he was cut off by Lightkit bursting through the entrance. "ADDERKIT! SORRELWING TOLD ME YOU CAUGHT A MOUSE!" His sister purred and scampered over to his side and nudged him gently. Snakefang rolled his eyes at Lightkit. "Where have you been?" Lightkit purred "Minnowlight was showing me how to clean and patch a bramble wound" She said her eyes sparking in the dark den "He says i could be a great medicine cat!" Adderkit licked his paw and sat slowly drawing over his ear. a mouse in his jaws. Setting it down he looked at Lightkit and Adderkit. "Kits your mother is worried you should go to her" Lightkit stood her brother close behind as they Followed Moonleap out. As they entered the nursery, Moonleap's tail was attacked by a small tom. A darker she-cat batted at his paws. Moonleap purred in amusement and gently pushed his kits off him. "Leafkit, Leopardkit Your gonna be the death of me!" Their mother Lilystripe padded up and pressed her muzzle to his cheek "They missed you" She purred. Adderkit watched the family from beside his sister.
Adderkit stood sharply and trotted out his mind foggy as he went toward the fresh kill pile. He tumbled over as he bumped into another cat. Looking up he saw Blazekit, his only friend sitting in front of him. "Adderkit! I heard you caught your first mouse!" Blazekit gave him a friendly nudge and purred "that's so cool". Adderkit's eyes shown with pride. "You think so?" Blazekit purred and swiped at his ear "Of course i do mousebrain" Blazekit pushed him over and ran ahead "Let's play Cat and mouse" Adderkit
Adderkit paced in the nursery. Today was his apprentice ceremony. Lightkit sat beside him her fur fluffed in excitement. Moonleap trotted to the entrance and beckoned the kits out. Lightkit darted out and Adderkit followed slowly. Everyone was gathered around waiting "Adderkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Adderpaw. Your mentor will be Snowheart. Snowheart you are kind and understanding i hope that you will pass this on to Adderpaw."
Adderpaw stepped forward and touched noses with him backing u to stand with warriors. Lightpaw looked up happily as Minnowlight stepped forward and touched noses with her and lead her toward the Med-cats den. Branchstar jumped off the rock and left toward his den. Moonleap stopped him "Are you sure...those are the kits?" Branchstar nodded "I saw the vision myself...they are the ones to save us"
