"Clan mates, the battle was a success." Applestar began to talk about the battle, but I didn't pay attention. I was looking over the warriors, and the ones available to be my mentor. There were a few I wouldn't really mind, such as Petalbreeze, Nightshade, Foxdawn, Ashtail, Swallowstrike, or Snakefang. The other warriors hated me. They teased me all the time behind Applestar's back.
I really want Darkfeather to mentor me, but she is a senior warrior. I guess Swallowstrike would be okay…
My attention shifted back to Applestar. He'd just finished his battle speech.
Great Starclan, I hope I'm ready!
"May I please have Amberkit and Leafkit up here with me on highrock?" I swallowed.
This is it!
Leafkit strutted up from behind me. I prayed that I wouldn't slip, or do something stupid. I carefully padded up onto the ledge to Leafkit and Applestar. I started to sit down, when Applestar began.
"Clan mates, today there will be more good news. I have here Leafkit and Amberkit." I felt myself sweating on my paw pads.
Alright! I hope I'm with a good mentor!
"You two kits are both six moons old, ready to become apprenticed. Leafkit. From this day forward, until you have earned your warrior name, you will be known as Leafpaw. Honeywind, you will be her mentor." She was apprenticed to a cat who truly hated me. Not good, I decided.
Cheers erupted around the camp. "Leafpaw! Leafpaw!" As they started to settle down, I looked down at the cats. A few of them were whispering to each other.
About me? Oh Starclan! I'm so nervous!
"Alright." Applestar silenced the chatter. "Amberkit. From this day forward, until you've earned your warrior name, you shall be known as Amberpaw."
THIS IS IT! AAAH!
He looked over the assembled cats. I felt butterflies in my belly.
"Darkfeather. You will be her mentor."
