This chapter has a large timeskip because it's about how Petalpaw is healing up. I recommend reading this because it has warrior ceremonies. Enjoy!
Petalpaw sneezed. Roseleaf looked up and said with mock annoyance, "You better not be getting whitecough, too!"
Petalpaw narrowed her eyes. She wasn't happy enough to be playful. Roseleaf seemed to notice this. "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? What's wrong? Everything! "I-I-I-I want to be a medicine cat!" Petalpaw finally blurted out. That way toms would stop chasing her, to say the least! Roseleaf's eyes flew wide open.
"Are you sure about that? You're a pretty she-cat you know!" Roseleaf was totally stunned. This she-cat was beautiful, and she was going to give it up?
'I'm not changing my mind!" Petalpaw snorted. Roseleaf nodded, and walked out of the den. Petalpaw nosed the different herbs, taking in their scent. Her leg would prolong her medicine cat training, but it was healing well. Just then, Hollowstar's yowl sounded. Petalpaw limped into the clearing, hating Hollowstar with every fiber of her being. Whitepaw, Hopepaw, and Starlingpaw sat happily below the evil.
"We have gathered here today to welcome three new warriors to Hailclan. Starlingpaw." Starlingpaw stepped forward purposefully, "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then you will be known as Starlingflight," Hollowstar continue the ceremony, Whitepaw becoming Whiteear and Hopepaw becoming Hope-pool. Petalpaw personally thought the names were a bit gaudy, but… Nah.
"I would also like to welcome Petalpaw as a Medicine Cat Apprentice," As Hollowstar announced this, ripples of outrage spread through the toms. Petalpaw could hear it all. The "Huhs?", "Whats?", and growls.
"Quiet!" Hollowstar snarled. Everyone fell silent.

The pesky bugs, Hollowstar thought, though why did Petalpaw want to become a medicine cat anyway? The plan would be launched soon.

Petalpaw looked around her new den. The medicine cat's den. How great! Petalpaw's mind wandered back to the ceremony. Hollowstar had glared fangs at Roseleaf, and seemed disgusted with his tom clan-mates. Petalpaw started to piece it together, and then gasped.
Did Hollowstar like her? Pondering her thoughts, Petalpaw soon fell asleep.
How do you like it peoples. The next chapter is about Petalpaw's training, and some secondary characters. Also, help me decide Petalpaw's full name! I can't decide!
