Chapter 2
Rufflekit slowly bit into her rabbit. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high rock for a clan meeting." Announced Senpaistar which made her choke on the rabbit she was eating, her mom rushed over to her and quickly groomed her as she pulled her to the front of the crowd.
She glanced at Lionkit who was also sitting at the front of the crowd her fur neatly groomed. We're going to become apprentices together!'
"Rufflekit, 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 Rufflepaw. Your mentor will be Shadowstep. I hope Shadowstep will pass down all he knows on to you."
"Shadowstep, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Blazinggaze, and you have shown yourself to be strict and loyal. You will be the mentor of Rufflepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Rufflepaw."
Shadowstep touched noses with Rufflepaw and then once Lionkit had her ceremony and was know Lionpaw the apprentice of Senseitail,
the clan cheered their names, "Rufflepaw! Lionpaw! Rufflepaw! Lionpaw!"
Once the meeting was over cats went back to what they were usually doing Rufflepaw waved her tail to Lionpaw as she made her way
out of camp following Shadowstep and Lionpaw followed Senseitail into the darkness of the medicine cat's den. "So what will I be learning
today?!" Exclaimed Rufflepaw. "The borders." Shadowstep mewed and Rufflepaw was a bit disappointed they wouldn't do hunting or battle
training but it was still training!
Rufflepaw sat by the fresh kill pile sharing a rabbit with Reedpaw and Fluffyheart, it had been a few sunrises since she had her
ceremony. "I wish I could go to the gathering!" Rufflepaw complained. "Ha, noob." Laughed Reedpaw choking on the rabbit. "I'll tell you
about how the gathering was if you want." Offered Fluffyheart. "No thanks, I would rather want to see it myself." Mewed Rufflepaw.
"Rufflepaw sorry to break it to you but you're never going to that ceremony, only good apprentices can go." Explained Reedpaw. "You're
so mean!" Cried Rufflepaw running out of camp. While Rufflepaw was running she bumped into something soft and landed on top of it.
"Get off of me mousebrain!" Yowled a voice and Rufflepaw quickly climbed off of it and she recognized the yellow blue eyed she-cat.
"Oh it's you Rufflepaw, sorry." Lionpaw mewed. Rufflepaw didn't realize Lionpaw could be so scary! Rufflepaw shook her head, "It's fine."
Rufflepaw noticed Lionpaw picking some roots, "Can I help?" Mewed Rufflepaw. "Yes please that would help a lot!" The two apprentices
carried the roots back to camp.
