Hm…I'll take random ideas for the story. And I'll probably use them to, no matter how random. I'm just a random sort of person.

Chapter 2

Silentpaw padded slowly with the other cats that were assigned to bury Mapleclaw. She still couldn't get over the shock that her mentor was dead. The strange prophecy kept running through her mind. One who's heart is black…she thought. I don't know any cat's who have black hearts!

She realized that she had been straying off the trail that the other cats were taking. She looked around at the solemn warriors. There was Dirtfur, Longleg, Palmpaw, one of Silentpaw's great friends, and Tanpaw. He was the youngest of the apprentices, and had spent the first moon of his training in the medicine cat den for a bad case of green cough. He was lucky to have survived.

Silentpaw and the others stopped at the gravesite. The young cat felt the presense of her warrior ancestors stir around her, coming down from Silverpelt to welcome the new cat to their ranks. Silentpaw wondered what it was like up there.

The warriors began to dig the grave for Mapleclaw. Silentpaw felt a wave of emotion every time this happened. She felt like they were just burrying the cat and forgetting all about him. But she knew that Mapleclaw would never be forgotten.

After the burial, Silentpaw made her way back to camp. The gathering was tonight, and she hoped she would be able to go. She wanted to be there when her mentor's death was announced. She realized that she would have to take her mentor's place now. Before the gathering, Jadestar would give her a new name. She felt her fur prickle in excitement at the thought of that.

Back at camp, Silentpaw wound her way to the front of the croud that had gathered in front of the Highrock. Jadestar was about to call a meeting for her naming ceremony. The surrounding cats all dipped their heads in grief and respect as Jadestar leapt onto the Highrock and summoned her clan. The cats that had not yet arrived climbed out of their dens to join their clanmates at the base of the Highrock.

Jadestar smiled at Silentpaw, but there was grief in her bright green eyes. She was a new leader, and so much was coming at her so fast. But Silentpaw new that she would be able to make it.

"We all grieve the loss of Mapleclaw." the great tabby began. "He was a great medicine cat, a great mentor, and a great friend to everyone." Silentpaw breathed in deeply, and could swear she caught a whiff of Mapleclaw's warm scent. Was he here to watch his apprentice become the medicine cat after him?

"But now we must grieve no further, as we have a great medicine cat to take his place." Jadestar flicked her tail to Silentpaw, who stepped forward, her fur prickling in excitement.

"I call down my warrior ancestors, and especially Mapleclaw." the leader added. "To watch this apprentice carefully. She has trained hard under our great medicine cat Mapleclaw, now with you, to become the clan's next medicine cat. We hope that you accept her and let her come to her full powers." Nobody in the clan said a word.

"Silentpaw, will you do everything in your power to protect your clan and care for the sick, wounded, and elderly?" Jadestar mewed. "You will also be forbidden to take a mate and have kits. Is this the life you wish?" Silentpaw remembered the prophecy again, but quickly said, "Yes."

Jadestar raised her head.

"Then by the power of StarClan I give you your medicine cat name; Silentpaw, from this moment on, you shall be known as Silentwater." Silentwater purred. Jadestar went on. "MoonClan hopes that you will live up to your mentor's expectations, for they were very high."

"I will Jadestar." Silentwater promised. Jadestar dipped her head.

"And now the cats for the gathering…"

Short, yes I know, but I have writers block. If you have any suggestions, put them in your reviews! Yay Silentwater!
