Leaftail's POV
"Come on, Leaftail, I've called you three times already! We're going on the dawn patrol!" Bluestorm called. "Sorry, Bluestorm," I meowed, dipping my head to the deputy. "I'm coming."
We walked out of camp with the rest of the patrol; Lightningtail and Fernfire. We remarked the borders with TreeClan and SpottedClan with no trouble.
Then we heard a crash from the direction of the unclaimed territory. We dashed over and searched until sunhigh for the source of the crash.
We were starting to head back to camp when I heard a tiny mew. It was so quiet that I could barely hear it. "Stop," I whispered, "Listen." We all heard it this time. We followed the sound, Bluestorm leading. Thanks to Lightningtail's supreme tracking skills, we found the source of the mew.
It was a tiny rogue kit, about 1 moon old. The source of the crash had been a sapling that had fallen on to the terrified kit. When the kit saw us, it started squirming frantically, trying to escape. I approached it and said, in my quietest, kindest tone, "It's okay, little kit, we're going to get you out of here." Bluestorm, Lightningtail, and Fernfire were lifting branches off of the tree, trying to free the kit.
"Where are your mother and father?" I asked the kit. Shivering, he replied, "They-They left me to f-fend for my-myself." "Oh, you poor thing," I meowed, finally pulling the kit free, "Let's get you back to camp and warm you up." Bluestorm had agreed to let me bring the kit back to the camp.
When we got back to camp, Fernmist immediately took the kit into the medicine den where she warmed him up and gave him some herbs for shock. Meanwhile, Bluestorm reported the news to Flamestar, who agreed to take the kit in. There was some grumbling, but eventually every cat accepted the kit, who had been named Cloudkit after his cloudy white pelt.
5 moons later...
Flamestar stood on top of the Leafledge, and yowled, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here, beneath Leafledge, for a Clan meeting!" He waited as the clan gathered around. I settled down near Lightningtail.
"Cloudkit, 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 Cloudpaw. Your mentor will be Leaftail. I hope Leaftail will pass down all she knows on to you," Flamestar's voice rang out, "Leaftail, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Darkstorm, and you have shown yourself to be kind and loyal. You will be the mentor of Cloudpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Cloudpaw."
Cloudpaw trained harder than any of the other apprentices, and, in the end, became a well-respected warrior called Cloudstorm that Leaftail couldn't have been more proud of.
