Two kits came running out the nursery their eyes shining with excitement. One a bright yellow tom with brown stripes and has holly-green eyes. Another grey she-cat that also had brown stripes but she has unusual orange eyes. They sat themselves at the front of the crowd their hearts beating against their chests with happiness and a hint of nervous. Their mother gave them a comforting smile while their father was sitting next to her with a proud grin on his face. The tom puff up his chest to trying to look brave his sister looks around excitedly. The Leader scanned the crowd a few times before saying
"Cats of Vineclan we have come together to make two cats into apprentices" She said she waited until the cheering calm down and continued," Cloverkit and Mudkit you have reach six moons and you two are ready to become apprentices, Cloverkit you will be known as Cloverpaw your mentor will be… Darkfeather. Mudkit you have also reached six moons you will be known as Mudpaw your mentor is Sunwatcher".
Mudpaw ran at his mentor and touched noises with the she-cat.
"Come on it one of our traditions to hunt for apprentices to catch prey as their first task" Sunwatcher said.
She flicked her tail for Mudpaw to follow they walked into the Ivy and Vine covered territory. They finally saw a mouse. He looks at his mentor and she gave a nod. Mudpaw got into a crouch and began to stack the mouse he was a mouse-length away until he leaped into the air and landed on the squirrel. He struggles to bring kill it but in the end he did it.
"My first prey" he thought as his mentor praised him.
