AN: I really need to know if I did anything wrong, or just positive or negative comments. I really need for you to review. I want to know if you like it or not.
Time flew by. Cinderkit was allowed out of the nursery more every day. Cherrybird had her kits. There was five of them. Cinderkit couldn't believe it. She didn't know there could be that many. They were only a moon and a half younger than Cinderkit and her littermates, though Cinderkit liked Dewkit and Redkit the best.
"Cinderkit! Come on out, I found Sunkit!" Cinderkit popped her head out from behind one of the large sun rocks. "There you are!" Dewkit ran over.
Cinderkit smiled. "I can't wait until Bramblestar calls the clan meeting." Cinderkit was almost shaking with excitement.
Dewkit nodded. "I wish I was becoming an apprentice too."
Cinderkit sighed, then gave a tiny smile. "But when you are we can train together!"
Dewkit's bluish, gray tail sprang up. "Yeah, and I will be the best hunter in the clan!"
"And I will be the best fighter!" Cinderkit pounced playfully at Dewkit. Dewkit batted Cinderkit's ears, then rolled over so she was on top. Cinderkit didn't let her stop rolling until she was on top. When she was Cinderkit pinned Dewkit. "See!" Cinderkit exclaimed pleased.
Bramblestar called from high ledge. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather for a clan meeting!"
Cinderkit whipped around. She was off Dewkit faster than a rabbit. She went straight for her mother. Ambermoon was waiting below high ledge for her. Next to her was Badgerkit and Moonkit. Badgerkit was sitting as tall as he could. Moonkit looked like she had a thorn in her side.
Bramblestar spoke when every cat had gathered. "Cinderkit, Moonkit, and Badgerkit you are six moons old, and you can now be apprenticed. From this moment forward until you become a Warrior, Moonkit you will be known as Moonpaw. Your new mentor is Ivytail." Ivytail came forward and touched noses with her new apprentice. She was glad to have a new apprentice. "Badgerkit from this moment forward you will be known as Badgerpaw. Your mentor will be Foxleap." Fowleap came forward to taouch noses with his new apprentice. "And finally Cinderkit. From this moment forward you will be known as Cinderpaw. Your mentor will be Sandclaw. Sandclaw came forward and touched noses with Cinderpaw. "I trust your new mentors will pass on everything they know." The cats started to chant for the new apprentices. "Moonpaw! Badgerpaw! Cinderpaw! Moonpaw! Cinderpaw! Badgerpaw!" Ambermoon chanted proudly for her kits. The cats started to leave.
"Wait!" Bramblestar yowled. "I have one last announcement!" The cats looked puzzled, but they came back and sat back down. Cinderpaw sat by Moonpaw and her mentor, Ivytail. Cinderpaw was very jealous. She would have rather had Ivytail as a mentor. Sandclaw hadn't trained an apprentice before. "I am sorry to say that our deputy, Lionblaze, has decided to retire to the elders den." Lionblaze nodded. For the first time Cinderpaw noticed that Lionblaze was the oldest Warrior in the clan. Everyone started to whisper. Cinderpaw heard Ivytail whisper to Dovewing. "Who do you think will be the new deputy?" Dovewing was about to answer, but Bramblestar continued. "I have known this for a couple days now, so I have had time to think about the new deputy. It was a hard choice, but it is clear that Bumblestripe should be the new deputy. Dovewing purred as she congratulated Bumblestripe. Bumblestripe seemed surprised to have gotten the position.
Cinderpaw whispered to Moonpaw. "Why is she so happy?"
"Bumblestripe is her mate" Moonpaw whispered back. "Really?" Cinderpaw thought. "How did I not know that?" Before Cinderpaw could ask her sister, Ivytail spoke.
"I'm going to take you around the territory, Moonpaw." She told her. Moonpaw jumped to her feet.
"I can't wait! Can Cinderpaw and Badgerpaw come too!" Moonpaw ran the words together a little. She tried not to but she was just too excited.
"I already asked them. Cinderpaw can come with us, but Foxleap is going to show Badgerpaw the training hollow. He will learn the basic moves, but I will show you those tomorrow so you don't get behind." Ivytail clearly didn't want her new apprentice to not be as good as her littermates. Cinderpaw couldn't figure out why though.
Cinderpaw looked around the clearing. Berrynose was helping Lionblaze into his new nest in the elders den. By the fresh kill pile Lilystream and Snowfang where sharing a squirrel. Cinderpaw looked toward the far side of the camp. She saw Seedpelt sitting way over there. She was eating a mouse, but she didn't look too good. Cinderpaw couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
Cinderpaw's thoughts where interrupted by Sandclaw. "Let's go." Ivytail nodded. She lead the way to the entrance. Cinderpaw followed. She stayed beside her sister at all times. She was used to having Dewkit or Redkit around. Without them she wanted to stay near someone she knew well, and who better than her sister.
Sandclaw and Ivytail took them to the Sky Oak and the training hollow. Cinderkit saw Badgerpaw training there. They went to the Windclan border, then to the abandoned Twoleg Nest. Cinderpaw spotted Blackpaw snooping around there, but she didn't think of anything. She let the thought slip her mind. Ivytail was doing all of the talking, and that wasn't much. She gave the basic information nothing more. After passing the Shadowclan border Ivytail told them that was the last stop, but Sandclaw whispered something in her ear.
"I want to show you two one more place before you go home to your new den." Sandclaw said. He didn't wait for an answer he started to walk away. Ivytail followed so Cinderpaw and Moonpaw did too.
When they got there Cinderpaw's eyes grew wide. "Wow!" She exclaimed. "It's so big!" Cinderpaw looked at the gorge. They were at the top of the cliff above high ledge.
Moonpaw nodded. "Yeah! It's really high up too! It's almost makes… you… a little…" Moonpaw fainted. Cinderpaw started to panic. She quickly grabbed her before she went over. Cinderpaw grabbed her scruff and held on tightly. She caught her, but her feet slowly started to slip. She tried to push Moonpaw in front of her. Ivytail quikly grabbed Moonpaw to take her from her. Ivytail had Moonpaw, but Cinderpaw was still slipping. Sandclaw tried to teach her, but it was too late. Cinderpaw slid from the cliff and into the clearing.
"Help!" Cinderpaw yowled, then all she saw was darkness.
