Warriors: "Follow in your Heart"
chp.1 "New Apprentices"
It was a peaceful day for Thunderclan. It was also an exciting day for some. Some were so happy, that they could explode like a nuclear reaction!
Squirrelflight was very proud of her three kits. It had been six long moons for them. They were finally old enough to become apprentices!
Bramblestar, their father, was about to burst with great pride. Today was the day he would announce his kits becoming apprentices. Boy, were they hard to keep up with, though! They'd always run off and get into trouble. Now, they'll soon learn everything about the Warrior Code.
Bramblestar then hopped up onto the Highledge. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here under the Highledge for a Clan meeting." his voice rang throughout the camp.
Squirrelflight was grooming the mess out of her little kitties. "Tigerkit, straighten up your whiskers! I want you all to look perfect before you meet the Clan." she meowed.
"Oh, Mistykit, fluff out your tail. You're a flufffy cat, so your tail also has to stay naturally fluffy." Squirrelflight then began to lick Mistykit's fluffy white tail.
Bramblestar then began the meeting. "Today, we shall have three new apprentices in Thunderclan!" he meowed in delight when he spotted his young.
"Willowkit, come up and join me on the Highledge." he called to his daughter.
Squirrelflight gave Willowkit one last vigorous lick, then let her go.
Willowkit scrambled onto the ledge to stand beside her father.
"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 Willowpaw! Your mentor will be Ivypool. I hope Ivypool will pass down all she knows onto you."meowed Bramblestar.
He then touched noses with Willowpaw. The Clan cheered her new name.
Next was Tigerkit. Bramblestar then restated everything over again. "Your mentor will be Birchfall."
The Clan began to cheer Tigerpaw's new name.
Now, it was time for Mistykit to become an apprentice. Bramblestar repeated himself for the third time. "Your mentor shall be Dovewing." Mistypaw's eyes glistened.
Instead of just touching noses with him, she gave him a lick on the cheek. The elders did not approve. They wanted to follow tradition. Mistypaw didn't understand that though. Where they punishing her for showing affection towards her father!? She then bowed down and apologized for her mistake, and then hopped off the Highledge.
The Clan meeting was then at an end. The three were then shownwhere the apprentices slept.
Maybe being an apprentice would be fun, but it would also have its challenges.
