Good God. I've left this story for a long time, haven't I? Well, I'm sorry I did but I kinda forgot my password 'cause I'm stupid like that. XD
So, Review time!

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!"
Bloodkit raised her russet coloured head, resenting her left ear as it flapped uselessly in the breeze that surrounded camp. It was Bloodkit's and Redkit's apprentice ceremony. After a lot of thought, Bramblestar had decided to postpone Hollykit's ceremony by two moons.
Redkit stirred by her side, hers ears twitching rapidly as she sought the waking world.
"Good morning, Redkit." Bloodkit's voice was less than a mouse length away from her sister's ear. "It's our ceremony today; are you gonna be awake for it?"
Redkit opened her amber eyes sheepishly. "What time is it, Bloodkit?"
"It's almost sunhigh. Bramblestar just called a meeting."
Redkit jolted into a sitting position. "Sunhigh already! I haven't even groomed myself yet."
Bloodkit let out a small mrrrw of laughter, "you look fine; we'd better get going before the clan forgets why they're gathering."
The two she-kits padded easily through camp to crouch beside Lionblaze. Their father purred and nudged them forward, "Bramblestar just called you two forward. Go on." His eyes sparkled. "Unless, of course, you want to be kits forever."
Redkit snorted. "Why would you think that?"
"Oh, come on, Redkit! If we don't go up Bramblestar will never make us apprentices." Bloodkit pushed her way to stand directly beneath the highledge, Redkit following close behind.
As the two she-kits drew to a halt, Bramblestar leapt down from the highledge, landing in front of the identical littermates.
"Bloodkit, until you become a warrior I give you the name Bloodpaw. Your mentor will be Ivytail." He rested his chin on Bloodpaw's forehead and she licked his shoulder.
Moving to Redkit, he flicked his tail, indicating that Squirrelflight should come forward. "Redkit, until you become a warrior, your name will be Redpaw. Squirrelflight will be your mentor." As his chin touched her head, she eagerly licked his shoulder.
The two apprentices touched noses with their mentors whilst the clan cheered their names heartily.
(Space or line or whatever you wanna call it.)
Deep in the shadows of the elder's den, a dark face, furrowed by hatred watched the apprentice ceremony. Green eyes glared from the face of Bloodpaw and Redpaw's sister. Hollykit let her claws slide from their sheathes. "One day, Bloodpaw, one day I'll get you…"
Sorry that it's not very long. :/ Maybe the next chapter's gonna be longer. Eh. See you guys and hope you enjoyed it!
