Chapter 2 Feathershadow's P.O.V
Feathershadow walked out of the warriors den. The sun was in the middle of the sky. She padded over to Windchaser.
"Feathershadow, I want you to lead a patrol along the Sand Clan border. Take Thunderwave, Cloudcover, and Moonswallow." Windchaser meowed to her as she walked up.
"Ok Windchaser. Ill gather them up then head out." Feathershadow replied.
She walked into the warriors den and found Moonswallow sleeping in his nest in the front. She shook him and whispered, "Moonswallow wake up, and I'm leading a patrol along the Sand Clan border."
He groaned but got up and followed her out. He walked to the entrance of the camp and sat down waiting.
Feathershadow looked around the camp until she saw Cloudcover and Thunderwave eating by the hollow stump with Dappleheart.
"Hey Windchaser asked me to patrol the Sand Clan border and want you two to go with me." She told them.
"Oh ok. We'll meet you by the entrance." Cloudcover said.
Feathershadow nodded and walked over to the entrance to wait with Moonswallow.
When she saw that they had join her she headed out into the forest. It was still misty outside but not too misty that you couldn't see out.
When they were out she took a right heading towards the border.
Thunderwave walked up next to his mate, "Hey, watch this," he said then he shot up a tree and came back with a squirrel in his jaws.
"Nice catch," she said in a sweet voice as she looked lovingly at her mate, "How did you know it was up there?" She asked.
"I have really good eye sight, I guess." He replied, embarrassed.
"Well I would never have seen it. Put it under that bush, and we'll come back for it later." She meowed.
He hid it under a nearby bush then padded back to the group. Feathershadow nudged him as he came up beside her.
As they approached the border, there was a strong smell of Sand Clan and Storm Clan. When they fully got to the border, they took a left turn to go along it. The trees stop at the border and turn to a sandy beach along a river.
They went along the border and didn't hear anything. They turned back around and headed towards camp. Thunderwave picked up his squirrel when they passed the bush that he hid it under. Then they headed into camp and saw that Lightningstar had called a meeting and they were missing it. Feathershadow sat down towards the front. She knew what was coming. Thunderwave put his squirrel on the fresh kill pile and went to sit down by Feathershadow.
"As you all know, my kits have reached six moons and are ready to begin their apprenticeship." He looked down warmly at his kits, who were squirming around as their excitement couldn't keep them still, "I have already talked to the cats who I want to have mentor them." He hopped down from his rock.
"Rabbitkit please come forward. Rabbitkit you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Rabbitpaw. Your mentor will be Rainflower. I hope Rainflower will pass down all she knows on to you."
He looked at Rainflower, "Rainflower please come forward. Rainflower you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Mousetail and you have shown yourself to be brave and skillful. You will be the mentor of Rabbitpaw and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."
Rainflower walked up to Rabbitpaw and touched noses with her.
"Molekit please come forward. Molekit you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Molepaw. Your mentor will be Cloudcover. I hope Cloudcover will pass down all he knows on to you." He beckoned Cloudcover forward.
"Cloudcover you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Sunstrike and you have shown yourself to be brave but caring. You will be the mentor of Molepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to him." Molepaw walked up to his new mentor and touched noses with him.
"Mudkit come forward. Mudkit you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mudpaw. Your mentor will be Feathershadow. I hope Feathershadow will pass down all she knows on to you."
He beckoned Feathershadow forward. "Feathershadow you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Goldenleaf and you have shown yourself to be loyal and skillful at hunting and fighting. You will be the mentor of Mudpaw and I expect you to pass on all you know to her." He finished.
Feathershadow walked up to her new apprentice and touched noses with her. My first apprentice! She thought.
Lightningstar cut into her thoughts, "There is one more apprentice that needs a mentor. Shadowpaw please come forward. Now that Darkstone is gone you need a new mentor. Snowtail please come forward. Since our kits are out of the nursery you are ready to take on warrior duties again. You will be the new mentor of Shadowpaw." He meowed.
The Snowtail walked over to Shadowpaw and touched noses with him.
"You can go back to what you were doing now." Lightningstar meowed before jumping down from his rock and going into his den.
