WPJO Chapter 7
"I'm so excited!" Shellpaw whispered to Boulderpaw as they neared the Moonpool. It was already near moonhigh, and Hazelstar was anxious to go in time. She quickened the pace. Troutpaw was out of breath by the time they reached the Moonpool. Boulderpaw, always the practical one, asked,
"Can we hunt now?"
"Okay," Hazelstar replied, 'But don't go too near Thunderclan or Riverclan." All four nodded then raced off. Springpaw caught something first, devoured it, and then ran back to Hazelstar. She was already asleep, so Springpaw decided to watch her sleep. Soon though, she got tired, and fell asleep. The others joined her soon after. Springpaw felt a paw shaking her and snapped awake.
"Wake up Springpaw! Today's your warrior ceremony!" Springpaw jolted awake at the sound of her leader's voice.
"Really?" she asked excitedly. "Tomorrow actually, but I needed to get you awake." Hazelstar replied kindly. Even so, Springpaw was super excited. Soon she would be a warrior! She ran to catch up with the group, excited to tell Thornstripe that she would be a warrior soon. Boulderpaw was just as excited. He desperately wanted to tell Pinetooth. He would be so happy! Boulderpaw had worked sooo hard on his battle moves! And he wasn't bad at fishing either!And now he was going to be a warrior! After a while, he slowed down. What if his friends got jealous? Oh well, he thought, I'll still have Springpaw! And with that he raced breathless all the way to camp, determined to beat Springpaw. But even then, Springpaw beat him. She was fast! He burst into camp breathlessly. Too late, she'd won. As usual.
