"Thanks for mourning me Forgottenpaw. Mourn no further. I would tell you my murderer, but that is a mystery for to find out yourself."
Forgottenpaw woke with a start at her mother's voice. She looked around but only saw the freshly fallen snow and a couple cats leaving for the dawn patrol.
"Wait. Why is it so warm? It was snowing and I was alone..." she thought and looked behind her. A small light brown she-cat with white speckles was curled around her, keeping her warm. She stirred and slowly opened her eyes. They were a pretty scarlet color.
"Your awake." she said, then yawned. "Why were you out here anyways?"
"I was mourning my mother. No one else did." She replied shyly. She had never spoken to an apprentice older than her, or rather any apprentice at all.
"Oh... I'm Duskpaw by the way. Who are you? Are you one of the new apprentices? Who's your mentor? I was on a patrol when the ceremony happened."
"I'm Forgottenpaw. I just became an apprentice. I don't have a mentor..."
"What? What do you mean you don't have a mentor? Didn't Wrenstar give you a mentor?"
Forgottenpaw shook her head no.
"Well this just won't do! Come on!" Duskpaw raced into the forest, Forgottenpaw following close behind.
They stopped running when they got to a clearing with an opening in the trees that allowed sunlight to brighten the forest floor.
"Stand in the sunlight with me and look up at the sky." They both stepped into the sunlight and stared at the sky.
"Oh great Starclan! I am Duskpaw and this is Forgottenpaw. She has no mentor. May I learn from mine and then mentor her as my own apprentice? I don't know if this has ever been done before, so I ask you this favor. If you agree then show us something that is rare to find in the middle of leafbare!"
They heard a twig snap behind them and turned around. A plump little squirrel was digging in the snow by a tree.
"Look at that! Starclan agrees!" Duskpaw whispered and began stalking the squirrel. Forgottenpaw watched quietly as Duskpaw pounced and killed the squirrel.
"Wow! That was so cool!" Forgottenpaw said.
"I'll teach you then!" Duskpaw replied and began showing her the movements for stalking squirrels.
