Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors. I will not put up another chapter till I get at least two reviews!

Chapter 4:Mud

Hopepaw's POV

I sat in the clearing, anticipating the answer to if Mud was staying. I found myself wanting him to stay, but I didn't know why. I walked up to Fallenpaw, Solemnpaw, and Silentpaw. I was going to ask what they think.

"So, do you want Mud to stay?" I started.

"I say I guess, 'cause we always want more warriors, but we need to wait and get know him." Fallenpaw answered.

"Well, I say that we need to keep him prisoner for at least seven suns. That way we get to know him" Solemnpaw explained logically.

"I'm definitly NOT sure." Silentpaw meowed

"I think he should go ahead and be made an apprentice. I mean, he willingly came asking to join the Clan." I meowed.

"I wonder how long it will take for Duskstar to announce what she has decided" Solemnpaw wondered.

"I think-" I started, but Duskstar cut me off.

"Could all cats who can catch there own prey join me at the Highledge!" Duskstar called the summons.

"Seeing as Mud came to us willingly, I think that he should be able to join LifeClan. Mud, shall you protect your Clan at all costs, even at the cost of your life?" the she-cat continued.

"Yes" he answered.

"Then from now on, you shall be known as Mudpaw, and your mentor shall be Nightwind." Duskstar meowed. Then there was murmuring. Duskstar had made the deputy his mentor. But most did not protest at all.

"Did you hear that? Mudpaw is in the Clan!" I practically yowled at Solemnpaw and Silentpaw.

"Well, sinse we were there, yes. We need to get to sleep, that is, if we want to be able to wake up." Fallenpaw said.

"And I have to be at the Highstones tommorow." Solemnpaw added.

"Oh, right, you're getting your medicine cat name! Good luck." Silentpaw mewed. So the apprentices walked to the den. Nobody noticed me stay towards the back. I wanted to talk to Mudpaw.

"Mudpaw? Mudpaw!" I called. Mudpaw turned his head and bounded over.

"Hi, you're that cat who wasn't staring at me! Thanks." Mudpaw meowed.

"Well, follow me and I'll show you to the apprentice den." I mewed.

"OK" So I lead him to the apprentice den.

"This is where we need to go to sleep." I told him.

"OK." he meowed.

"Mudpaw! Meet me at dawn tommorow for training!" Nightwind called.

"Whatever." he mumbled under his breath.

"Huh?" I mewed.

"Nothing," Mudpaw meowed.

So, I know it was not as long but anyway. This chapter tells you the answer to my question. Now, as I said earlier, all the apprentices are based on real people. One of them is me. Can you figure out which one is me? Just to make sure you know, I'm a girl.
