Chapter 6: Sleep Tight.

The night that followed the events of yesterday felt so long to Breadpaw. He couldn't sleep. It must have taken two hours of just lying there to fall asleep by Scotchpaw and the other apprentices, Toastpaw seperated from the group in a small corner. It didn't take long for a dream to form in Breadpaw's head once he had finally fell asleep.

The light brown tom was in a meadow, the wind in his fur. No one was there. Breadpaw looked around, and stepped forward. As soon as his paw hit the ground, the meadow burst into flames. The apprentice watched in horror as he saw a tiger from the ancient tales rise from the fire. Breadpaw backed away, the fire burning his paws. But before he could run away in a sprint, the tiger sprang at him. Everything hurt. His head, his paws, his eyes, everything. Suddenly, he was nowhere but a dark void with nothing but him in sight.

He simply floated there, his brown eyes closed tight. But a familiar voice calmed him, yet it wasn't one he could recognize. It was a tom's voice. "It's alright, everything's okay. Wake up, the stress is getting to you." Before Breadpaw could speak, he found himself lying in the apprentice's den. Palepaw was shaking him awake. "Breadpaw, are you okay? You looked almost dead!"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine."
"Dude, you're gonna miss the ceremonies. The two newbies asked if they could join the clan, Ricepaw is also getting his ceremony."

The sunshine was harsh today, but Breadpaw could clearly see Newpaw and Lizardpaw in the crowd. He seated himself by Brightlight out of terror that she'll force him to if he refused. Goodstar was seated on the top of the Great Rock, Stevehawk glaring at the clan with his pitch black eyes. "Ricepaw, step forwards." The white tom stepped forwards, his face showed nervousness. "Ricepaw, do you accept to be loyal to the Warrior Code and Thunderclan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then from this day forwards, by the powers of Starclan, you shall be known as Ricetooth. I wish you a long life." Goodstar then turned to Breadpaw, "Breadpaw, step forwards."
The tom was surprised by Goodstar's request, he was being made a warrior..? Now..? He hadn't even had an assessment yet. "Breadpaw, I know you haven't finished training completely, but you are an excellent warrior worthy of your warrior name. Do you accept to remain loyal, even at the cost of your life?"
Breadpaw hesitated. "I do, sir."
"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. From this day forwards, you shall be known as Breadclaw." Breadclaw stood in shock and happiness, but he could notice the sad expression on his brother's face. The tom had always had pity for him, from the way Brightlight and the Clan treated him. He was glad that Toastpaw had Normalpaw to keep him company.

After that (Since Bella is too lazy to type it out), Lizardpaw was given to Breadclaw to train, and Ricetooth was training Newpaw, who had asked for an offical name change. When everyone went off to do their own thing, Breadclaw noticed Brightlight murmur something to Stevehawk before approaching Toastpaw. "We need to talk." She had said, and Toastpaw reluctantly followed her into the territory. Breadclaw swallowed, what could that be about..? He shook his head and decided to follow them. He could smell fear.
