Hey guys. Short chapter.
1 moon later
Father had groomed us perfectly. My tail was curled around my paws. The other two were fidgeting, but I was staying calm. Adderstar climbed to the top of the fallen tree.
"All cats old enough to gather their own prey please gather beneath the Great Tree for a clan meeting."
The rest of the clan moved around the tree and sat, looking up at our leader. He sat down, looking around the clearing.
"Spottedkit!"
My sister leapt to her feet and strode quickly to the foot of the tree. Adderstar leapt down and looked at my sister.
"From this day forth, until the day you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Spottedpaw. Tawnyfoot!"
The tawny she-cat stood and walked to Adderstar's side.
"You will be Spottedpaw's mentor. May you pass on your skills in healing to this young apprentice."
Spottedpaw touched noses with the she-cat and walked to the edge of the crowd.
"Cinderkit!"
My gray sister had slightly more self control and was slower as she stepped up to our leader.
"From this day forth, until the day you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Cinderpaw. Firepelt!"
Father stepped forward and strode up to Adderstar.
"You will be Cinderpaw's mentor. May you pass on your skills in hunting to this young apprentice."
Father touched noses with Cinderpaw and walked back to sit next to me.
"Shadowkit!"
I stood slowly, walking up to Adderstar.
"From this day forth, until the day you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Shadowpaw. Specklefur!"
My heart gave a little leap as the black-flecked warrior strode up to meet me.
"You will be Shadowkit's mentor. May you pass on your wisdom and skills in fighting and hunting to this kit."
I touched her nose with mine and walked with her to the edge of the clearing. We sat down next to Tawnyfoot and Spottedkit. I sat down while everyone began to call our new names.
"Spottedpaw! Cinderpaw! Shadowpaw!"
I smiled and held my head high.
Now I'll show them I'm not just a scarred face and broken past. I'm a normal cat. I thought, turning to my mentor.
"What do I do first?"
Specklefur smiled and stood.
"Let's go help the Elders. I hear Ravenpaw has ticks he wants removed."
That's it for today guys. I'm prone to headaches, and I'm having an especially bad one, so short chapter. Plus, my computer was acting up, so I could only write on weekends. That's why the chapters are few and far between. Anyways, I'm gonna go. Bye guys.
