"Well who do we have here?", a cat meowed scornfully. Frostkit shrank beneath her pelt, trying to look small. A ginger tom that was a little older than Frostkit padded over to the entrance.

"My name's Lionkit", he said proudly. "I'm gonna be a apprentice in one moon".

"Er hi? I'm Frostkit".

Lionkit stared at her. "You have white fur. Just like my sister".

"Guppykit! Come here".

A pale white she-cat padded over. She glared at Frostkit. "Where'd you come from?" She sniffed. "ThunderClan?" Frostkit nodded. Guppykit immediately ignored her and went to play with a light gray she-cat. Lionkit turned his head as a voice thundered.

"All cats old enough to swim, gather for a clan meeting". Why can't I be made an apprentice?, Frostkit thought. "Oh it's just a clan meeting", Lionkit meowed. Then he ran over to play with his sisters.

"Who are you?", a brown tom with yellow eyes meowed. He turned to the light gray she-cat.

"Stealing. Kits. Again, Smokepelt?" She nodded.

"Well what's this one called?"

"What's your name?", Smokepelt growled. "Frostkit", Frostkit whispered.

The brown tom nodded. "Great name". "Have you been a kit for six moons?" Frostkit nodded. "Come here then". He whisked around and beckoned to Frostkit with his tail. Frostkit scampered after him.

"My name's Troutstar" he said, a few minutes later. "Oh".

Troutstar padded onto a rock and yowled, "All cats old enough to swim, gather for a clan meeting".

Cats came and sat down near the rock. Troutstar's deputy, Brightpelt stood a few tail lengths away from him.

"Frostkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Frostpaw. Your mentor will be Dawnskip. I hope Dawnskip will pass down all she knows on to you."

"Dawnskip come here." Dawnskip padded forward. "Dawnskip, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Rubblestream, and you have shown yourself to be trustworthy and loyal. You will be the mentor of Frostkit, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Frostkit."

Dawnskip padded over to Frostpaw and touched noses with her.

"Frostpaw! Frostpaw!"

Frostpaw looked around and felt sad that her family wasn't there. I'll tell them all about it, Frostkit decided. Once I find my way back home to ThunderClan.
