Chapter 11

"Let all the cats old enough to catch a hare gather here beneath the Tallrock for a Clan meeting."

Breezestar's call startled Wetpaw. He was cleaning the old beddings with Sedgepaw –it seemed that Runningbreeze and Blossomtail were trying to make them get along better, putting them to do chores together. It's not working thought Wetpaw You can't expect me to hit it off with someone like him!

The Clan gathered beneath the Tallrock and Wetpaw sat beside his brother, even though they still were angry ateach other. Even if a quarter moon has passed.

"Why did Breezestar called a gathering?" asked Wetpaw.

Rainpaw flicked his ears. It seemed that he also had that habit when he was upset. "Look." he mewed, pointing out to the nursery. Squirrelfur was padding out with Amberkit and Flamekit behind her. They kits seemed delighted, yet a little bit anxious. Molefur padded to them and smoothed the fur between their ears. They've reached their six moons! realized Wetpaw.

"I gather you for my favorite duty." mewed Breezestar, looking warmly at the kits. "Flamekit and Amberkit have reached their six moons! Flamekit, from now on until you receive your warrior name you shall be known as Flamepaw. Haysteam! You shall be his mentor. You are a skilled warrior and I trust you will teach him right."

Flamepaw turned towards his mentor and they touched noses.

"Amberkit, from now on you shall be known as Amberpaw. Poppyflower, you will be her mentor. You are a skilled and experienced warrior, I know I'm putting her in safe paws."

Amberpaw and Poppyflower touched noses and the Clan cheered for the newly made apprentices. At least it will change to have other apprentices than the hot-headed one and the angry one commented to himself Wetpaw.

Blossomtail padded to him. "Have you finished to clean the beddings?" she asked.

"Not yet." answered Wetpaw.

"It will rain soon so go finish that and then we are going hunting." she ordered. Wetpaw looked toward Sedgepaw and sighed. Great! Just great!

Wetpaw sighed. His fur was soaked as it now raining. He looked at the gray sky. It was already dusk. Good. Just a little more to wait! He shifted his paws as his gaze fell down on the Clan and felt a thorn in his heart. I'm breaking the warrior code. he thought yet again. Just then Rainpaw saw him.

"What are you doing standing there in the rain like a lost kit?"asked his brother, flicking his ears.

"Nothing." replied Wetpaw. "Just enjoying the weather." he added as he brushed past him. Rainpaw snorted but said nothing. They entered together in the den the apprentices used when it was raining.

Sedgepaw, who had been curled in his nest, raised his head and mewed scornfully: "You don't expect me to sleep next to your drenched fur?"

Wetpaw lashed his tail, sending a couple of drops in the air. "Don't worry Sedgepaw. I have no intention to sleep next to you."

"Carefull!" hissed Rainpaw next to him as the drops landed on him. "I don't want a wet fur either."

Sedgepaw put his head back on his paw. "Suit yourself." he mewed to Wetpaw.

"Are you always arguing with each other?" asked Flamepaw who had been watching the scene with his sister.

"You are worst than kits." added Amberpaw, amused.

The older apprentices remained quiet. Wetpaw put his tail on his ears and decided to rest before going out at Moonhigh. Soon the other apprentices felt asleep and he slipped out of the den.

She is late! he thought as he arrived and settled down in the shadow of a bush near the shore. He was aching to see her. At least we were able to see each other two nights ago, even if it was half moon. There was only Brightpaw who could dare to meet by the WindClan's border, where the medicine cats also met –and of course she had convinced him.

Suddenly he felt claws digging in his back. He jumped, startled, and turned around to face his attacker.

"Calm down!" purred Brightpaw.

He brushed her cheek. "It's you!" he mewed. He hadn't heard her and he wasn't surprised. She was always moving like a shadow, never making any noises whatever she was doing –expect talking.

"I'm happy to see you." she said and they curled together to watch the stars as usual.

"Even a kit wouldn't have reacted that way." she commented. "I only touched you!"

"With your claw." he added. "I thought it was another cat who had saw we were meeting together."

"Stupid furball." she purred again, love sparkling in her green eyes. "Who do you think would follow us?"

"Me!" mewed a cat behind them.
