Chapter 12

Snowkit pads towards Hindledge ready to burst with pride, his gaze flickers around the camp. Lightkit is peeking her head from the nursery, Thornkit and Fuzzykit are watching with amazement. Most of the warriors are smiling, even Moontail's eyes have a flicker of pride in them. Redpaw's eyes are shinning and as Snowkit locks eyes with his brother Redpaw mouths: Finally! Dustpaw looks annoyed, Sandypaw looks pleased and Sorrelpaw's blue eyes are shinning as though she herself is being made a warrior. Happiness bubbles inside Snowkit and he pads towards Lionstar, raising his head confidently.

"Snowkit you have suffered great pain in your life but I'd proud to give you your apprentice name, Snowkit from this moment on until you receive your warrior name your name will be Snowpaw." Lionstar stops and scans the clearing as though he doesn't know who Snowpaw's mentor will be. I wonder...Snowpaw glances swiftly around camp before looking back up at Lionstar as he continues. "Tailwind, Duskfang mentored you well and I know you will pass on all your courage and strength to make Snowpaw a warrior ThunderClan can be proud of for moons to come." Snowpaw spins around spotting his mentor padding through the clump of cats to reach his apprentice. Snowpaw rushes over to the dusty brown tom. Mentor and apprentice touch noses,

"Snowpaw! Snowpaw! Snowpaw!" The Clan chants. Snowpaw puffs out his chest, his green eyes are shinning and his paws are itching for something to do. I'm an apprentice! He thinks with glee, Lionstar flicks his tail to signal the meeting has come to a close and cats begin to congratulate Snowpaw.

"You made it!" Redpaw exclaims rushing over to his brother, green eyes shinning with happiness. Sorrelpaw and Sandypaw pad over to Snowpaw, Dustpaw trailing slowly behind them.

"Good job, you deserve it..." Sandypaw mutters glancing quickly at Redpaw. Snowpaw smiles to happy to be stung by the sandy furred she-cats comment. Sorrelpaw just blinks her eyes reflecting so many emotions Snowpaw shivers.

"Good job...I suppose..." Dustpaw grumbles before stalking off towards his mentor, Roseflame. Snowpaw twitches his whiskers in amusement.

"Same old Dustpaw," he remarks. No one replies, Snowpaw feels his fur prick uneasily and he turns towards his brother. "Err...I need a nest..." he trails off, Redpaw flicks his tail.

"Right!" he exclaims, "Follow me." he pads towards the apprentice den, Snowpaw bounds after him feeling as though his paws will leave the ground and he'll fly into the sky. I'm an apprentice! "Well are you coming?" Realizing he'd been sitting staring at the apprentice den, Snowpaw shakes out his white fur and pads after his brother. Upon entering the den Snowpaw closes his eyes. It smells just like the nursery used to be Lightkit, Fuzzykit and Thornkit were born with a faint faded scent of Pigeonpelt and Oakbreeze.

"So.." Snowpaw mumbles staring around the den, he tastes the air figuring which nest is who's by their scent. Its no surprise Redpaw and Sandypaw have nests beside each other, Dustpaw's nest is in a sheltered area of the den near the back. Sorrelpaw's nest is beside an empty one, Snowpaw is about to decide on sleeping there when he picks up the scent of Pigeonpelt. That must have been his nest...growling under his breath Snowpaw turns towards the last available nest. A small feather lined one near the back, he starts for it only to be stopped by Redpaw.

"I wouldn't choose that one!" he warns, Snowpaw frowns turning to face his brother he opens his mouth to respond but Redpaw quickly continues. "That nest was Oakbreeze and Pigeonpelt's littermate...her name was Brightpaw and she died before we were born. The nest is kept in honor of her," Redpaw explains. Snowpaw glances towards the feather lined nest, the mossy is a beautiful green and it looks perfect. Just waiting for someone to lay down in it, Snowpaw sighs.

"Alright then-" Tailwind's voice cuts him off,

"Snowpaw! Are you in their?" he's calling. Excitement pours through Snowpaw once again, I'm an apprentice!

"Coming!" he yowls turning to Redpaw he meows. "We'll figure out the nest situation later," Redpaw nods though the look on his face hints he's thinking more along the line of: You can figure out your own nest later...Snowpaw just flicks his tail over Redpaw's ear to excited to be annoyed with his brother.

"Snowpaw!" Tailwind's voice sounds again, this time slightly angrier. Snowpaw rushes from the apprentice den and into camp. "It's about time!" Tailwind growls,

"Sorry!" Snowpaw exclaims studying his paws. Tailwind smiles,

"Its alright...come on I'm going to take you down to the clearing to practice walking." he meows, Snowpaw's heart sinks but he forces a purr. Looking satisfied Tailwind pads towards the gorse tunnel, motioning for Snowpaw to follow. My first day as an apprentice and were going to practice walking! How fun...

"Steadier!" Tailwind orders, Snowpaw growls under his breath trying to steady himself while running across a clearing. Mentor and apprentice have been practicing since sun-high and its almost sun-set, Snowpaw swears he's crossed the clearing a hundred times and Tailwind hasn't praised him once. He'll only say: good but keep your tail up, or your left paws wavering! Or faster, faster, faster! Biting his tongue Snowpaw attempts to prance/bound across the clearing while keeping his legs straight.

Once he reaches the end, Snowpaw turns expectantly towards his mentor. Tailwind's nose is wrinkled but not in disgust he seems to pondering something. Finally he meows, "Alright very good. I think we can get a bit of hunting practice in before heading back to camp." Snowpaw does a happy bounce and rushes towards his mentor, Tailwind stops his apprentice with his tail. "Try it again, steadier now!" he orders, Snowpaw rolls his eyes before again padding towards his mentor, this time steady and graceful. Tailwind nods, "Alright now work on keeping your legs strong as you preform the hunters crouch." he meows, Snowpaw cocks his head to one side.

"I don't-" he starts, Tailwind crouches down on the forest floor his tail straight up and his claws sheathed. Snowpaw attempts to copy his mentor,

"Very good but keep your tail up. You don't want to stir up leaves and sheath your claws, keep them that way until your preparing for your final pounce." Tailwind instructs, Snowpaw sheathes his claws and sticks his tail into the air. "Very well, normally I'd have you practice it but were running out of time and-" Tailwind breaks off as Snowpaw begins to slowly stalk forward. A plump mouse is sitting at the base of a beach tree, chewing on some nuts. Snowpaw pads forward until he's less than a tail length away. One, two three! POUNCE! He leaps towards the mouse unsheathing his claws at the exact moment, at the same second a hawk decides the mouse would be a good prey and dives. So at the exact moment, Snowpaw pounces the hawk attempts to scoop up the mouse. Ending both his life and the mouses as Snowpaw's claws sink into its feathers and the bird squeezes the mouse. Snowpaw sits up his fur on end,

"Whoa!" he exclaims glancing down at his prey. Tailwind rushes over to his apprentice,

"You stalked the mouse very well and...nice job with the hawk," he praises.

"It literally dove into my paws!" Snowpaw murmurs, Tailwind rests his tail on his apprentices shoulder.

"All that matters is that you caught it! And on your first try to!" Snowpaw just nods to shocked to speak. For some reason the hawk and the mouse meant something to him, he knows it had been a omen but exactly what? Hawk...mouse...hawk is a bird, a bird takes flight...mouse...flight...Mouseflight! Snowpaw wrinkles his nose in confusion, who's Mouseflight? Though the hawk and the mouse could have just been a coincidence he's sure it was a omen and he knows it meant Mouseflight but who is Mouseflight and what does it all mean?

Snowpaw rests his head onto the hard earthy ground of the apprentice den, since he had no interest in sleeping in Pigeonpelt's old nest and he wasn't allowed in Brightpaw's he'd resorted to sleep on the hard ground of the apprentice den for one night. None of the apprentices have offered otherwise, Redpaw just padded over to his nest beside Sandypaw and said nothing. Dustpaw is already asleep and Sorrelpaw is busy chatting with Pigeonpelt. With slight annoyance, slight loneliness Snowpaw tucks his paws underneath him, closes his eyes and falls to sleep...

Upon waking Snowpaw looks around, where am I? He wonders as he surveys his surroundings. He's in a lush meadow a small amount of water is flowing under his paws though he can't see were the source of the water is. Snowpaw paws at the water, half expecting a giant winged cat to leap from the water and scold him for disrupting her peace. Nothing happens. Snowpaw's heart sinks, Daylily used to tell him stories about great cats who received prophecies and Snowpaw has been hoping ever since he could be just like one of them. He snorts, why would I ever be important? Let alone get a prophecy! That's crazy talk, I'm just a weak apprentice! Tasting the air Snowpaw picks up a strong scent of mouse coming from just a few tail lengths away. Crouching down Snowpaw stalks towards the scent, a blur of gray flashes in the corner of his eyes and he unsheathes his claws. The mouse is skittering to and fro as though its lost something.

"Stupid mouse!" he murmurs quietly, rearing up to pounce just as his dream changes. What?! Snowkit exclaims silently, his fur beginning to prick. Finally the blackness that had engulfed him fades and Snowpaw is sitting on a twoleg fence over looking the forest. Frowning Snowpaw spins around expecting to see twoleg place but instead all he sees is a reenactment of the scene from earlier in the day. A fiery ginger she-cat is stalking a mouse when a hawk swoops down and grabs it. "Mouseflight..." Snowpaw murmurs.

"You called," Snowpaw spins around a brown tabby tom is padding towards him, stars glimmering in his pelt. Snowpaw stares at the tom for a few moments.

"Mouseflight?" he gasps, the tom rolls his green eyes. "You are Mouseflight..aren't you?" Snowpaw questions, the tom snorts.

"No" he meows,

"Oh" Snowpaw mumbles. The tom flicks his tail,

"Of course I'm Mouseflight! Who do you think sent you the omen?" Mouseflight smirks, Snowpaw flattens his ears. He doesn't like this tom,

"You?" he guesses. Mouseflight snorts again,

"Of course not! Foxclaw sent the omen he thought I wouldn't be able to summon you on my own so he sent the hawk...it made no sense of course but-" forgetting this cat is a StarClan warrior Snowpaw cuts him off.

"Why are you here?" he demands, Mouseflight grins revealing shiny yellow fangs making Snowpaw flinch. "Sorry its jus-" Snowpaw starts but Mouseflight cuts him off with a glare.

"If you don't want me as your mentor then fine!" he turns and stomps away, Snowpaw hurries after him.

"No wait! Your my mentor? Do other cats have mentors? Why do I need a mentor?" he pesters the StarClan tom with questions. Mouseflight turns to stare at Snowpaw, his green eyes widening.

"Your beginning to fade!" he exclaims, Snowpaw stares down at his paws, gasping. I'm disappearing! Mouseflight turns back to him. "I'll explain more in our next meeting and no not all cats have StarClan mentors!" And with that everything goes black and Snowpaw wakes up to Dustpaw prodding him with a paw.

"Tailwind needs you."
