Sunlight shone brightly on the glistening snow as Flamepaw silently stalked in the forest. She had been an apprentice for more than 3moons now and this was her first major assessment today and she had to get it right. Fernpaw had been made a warrior along with Rainpaw to sunrises a go with her name Fernpool and Rainpaw got his warrior name as Rainslash. The forests musky scent seemed to be calling her. Suddenly, Flamepaw detected a slight rustling in the bushes. Instantly, Flamepaw got into 'The hunters crouch' and smelt the air, Mouse. Remembering to keep all her weight on her hutches, she slowly stalked towards the mouse. 1, 2, 3 and go! She swiftly took the mouse's life with one swipe bite.

"Well done young Flamepaw." Flamepaw turned round to see Silvermist standing before her, dipping her head to the senior warrior "Thank you Silvermist." Flamepaw couldn't help but feel lifted and warmed by her mentors praise. Flamepaw grabbed the mouse in her jaws and set back to camp to get shelter from the freezing snow. "Come, you assessment is over. I shall be telling Snowstar how well you hunted, even with the snow making it more difficult. You will make a fine warrior young one."

Just as Flamepaw returned to camp, Birdpaw was there to greet her. Just my luck, I wish Snowstar would make him a warrior sooner. Then he would be out of my fur! Flamepaw thought to herself. "That's so skinny it will hardly feed a fly! Let alone a warrior! And I guess you had help catching it to. Fancy that, an apprentice who can't catch a single mouse! You're as useless as a new born kit!" Birdpaw teased her. Flamepaw could feel fury getting to every hair on her body. "Oh, so you did better than me did you? Foxwing said you couldn't even catch a shrew yesterday!" Flamepaw replied knowing that would shut him up. Birdpaw stood there, speechless for once. Satisfied, Flamepaw walked away giving the mouse she caught to the elders and walked over to the apprentices den to talk to Skypaw.

"Hi, how did your assessment go today?" He asked while eating a mouse.

"Great thanks! I hope Swiftstripes kits become apprentices soon now there's only 3 of us. I could sleep for a moon!"

"Yeah, I had to do a hunting patrol, do the elders bedding and battle training!" Skypaw looked over towards the nursery, "I think that Snowstar will have to make them apprentices soon, they're getting in everyone's way!" He meowed looking over towards where the two kits where playing making Fernpool trip over. Flamepaw purred in amusement as she watched the new warrior try to get up as Thrushkit and Reedkit pretended attacked her. "They're almost 6 moons old now any way." Fernpool went over and started talking with Snowstar while Swiftstripe told off her kits. Snowstar leaped up onto the Skyrock.

"Cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the high rock for a Clan meeting." Flamepaw padded over towards the massive rock and sat down. "Today, I believe we have 2 kits who have reached their 6th moon," Thrushkit and Reedkit bounded up onto the Skyrock almost falling over with excitement, "From this moment, until they have earned their warrior name, these apprentices will be known as Thrushpaw and Reedpaw. Leapfoot, you will mentor Thrushpaw. You are a loyal and noble warrior; I hope you will pass on these skills to Thrushpaw."

Leapfoot looked almost as excited as Thrushpaw! "I will Snowstar."

"Cherryblossom, you are long overdue an apprentice, you are an impeccable hunter; I hope you will pass on these skills to Reedpaw."

"I will" Cherryblossom looked at the kits with amusment.

As the new apprentices greeted their mentors, the Clan began to cheer. "Reedpaw, Thrushpaw, Reedpaw, Thrushpaw!"

"This meeting is over, thank you." And with that, Flamepaw watched as Snowstar gently jumped down from Skyrock and went to eat with the senior warriors.

"Well, let's go and try to make them welcome." Skypaw meowed and headed over to greet the new apprentices. "Congratulations guys!" Flamepaw meowed to the beaming apprentices as she and Skypaw took them over to the apprentices den.

Unknown to Flamepaw, Snowstar was watching her like a cat stalking prey. "Her destiny is big; I fear she is too young to succeed but if StarClan believes in her, then so do I..."
