Ch.5

Brookkit stretched as the morning sunshine drifted into the shady nursery. She was three moons old now and it was time for Deerkit, Fishkit, and Leafkit to be apprenticed. Not much had changed since she came to Thunderclan. Most of the cats still didn't think that Brookkit could ever be a warrior because she was blind. She was set out to prove them wrong. She walked out of the den after seeing that the three kits had already left without her. She found herself a nice shady patch near the highrock, the Thunderclan meeting place.

Seasong was busy grooming Deerkit and Leafkit, after spotting Brookkit, scampered over to the shady patch and crouched down beside Brookkit.

"Don't worry you'll be an apprentice in three moons," she reassured Brookkit.

"I guess so. I wonder who your mentor will be," Brookkit replied.

"I hope I get Blizzardfur, she's the best!" Leafkit announced.

Honeystar leaped up onto the highrock and called the familiar calling, "Let all cats come to highrock for a clan meeting!"

The rest of the clan that wasn't already gathered scampered out of their dens.

"Today we have five new warriors and three new apprentices. Beepaw, step forward, from this day on your name will be Beehive, we welcome you as a full warrior into Thunderclan."

The crème tom dipped his head curiously to his leader before he stepped down.

"Poolpaw, from this day on your name will be Poolsplash. We welcome you as a full warrior into Thunderclan." Honeystar continued as Poolsplash stepped back. "Swamppaw, from this day on you will be called Swampmud. You are a valuable asset to your clan."

Next Honeystar called Sweetpaw forward, "Sweetpaw, from this day on you will be known as Sweetberry. We thank you for your compassion. Welcome to Thunderclan as a full warrior."

Spottedpaw was the next to step forward.

"Spottedpaw, you have shown great love for your clan. You are worthy of having your warrior name, so Spottedpaw, from this day forward you shall be known as Spottedsky," Honeystar licked Spottedsky's shoulder.

"Spottedsky, Sweetberry, Beehive, Poolsplash, Swampmud!" the clan cheered.

"Now, as you all know we have three new kits that are ready to become warriors. Deerkit, step forward, you are a strong young kit and I'm sure you'll make a powerful young warrior. From now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Deerpaw. Bushtail, you have finished training Beehive, I normally don't give cats two apprentices in a row, but with the lack of warriors to train, that's what's going to happen. I hope you pass over your skill and loyalty to Deerpaw," Honeystar continued as Deerpaw stepped back into the crowd. "Fishkit, you to have reached six moons and it is time you became an apprentice. From now on until you receive your warrior name you'll be known as Fishpaw. Vineclaw, you have finished training Swampmud. I hope you pass on your bravery to Fishpaw."

Fishpaw licked Vineclaw's shoulder and they both stepped back.

Leafkit then stepped forward as Honeystar continued, "Leafkit, you have reached six moons and are ready to become an apprentice. From now on until you receive your warrior name you'll be known as Leafpaw. Blizzardfur, you haven't had an apprentice for many moons now. We thank you for Spottedsky, Sweetberry, Beehive, Poolsplash, and Swampmud, but it is now time for you to have an apprentice. I hope you pass on your intelligence and energy to Leafpaw."

Leafpaw licked Blizzardfur's shoulder as the clan called, "Leafpaw, Fishpaw, Deerpaw!"

"Quite!" Honeystar yelled. "I have another announcement to make! Whisperwind is having kits and she will be moving into the nursery."

The expectant queen straightened up proudly beside Bushtail, who would be the father of this litter.

Brookkit weaved her way through the crowd to reach Leafpaw's side.

"Good job! And you got Blizzardfur as a mentor just like you wanted!" Brookkit cheered her friend.

"Yeah!" Leafpaw replied.

"Leafpaw! It's time to go explore the border with your brother's and their mentor!" Blizzardfur called out.

"Bye Brookkit," Leafpaw called out over her shoulder as she scampered after Blizzardfur.

All of the sudden the camp looked practically empty and with no one to play with Brookkit trotted to the elders den. Flamesky should have some sort of exercise for her to do.

Brookkit curled up into her nest in the nursery. Whisperwind had moved in two moons ago and Seasong had moved out just a couple of sunrises ago. She didn't know how she could last another moon of this. The hot night air reefed around her and almost made her gag. It had been two moons since Deerpaw, Fishpaw, and Leafpaw became apprentices. Meanwhile Brookkit had been training with Flamesky and helping clean out nests. She silently got up and stretched. Brookkit sneaked out of a small hole in the back of the nursery and climbed up the rock wall. Beehive was guarding the camp entrance and didn't notice the five moon old kit sneaking out. Finally, Brookkit emerged into the cool forest and followed the scent trail towards the Shadowclan border. 'Maybe I'll see Ashkit,' she thought. She sat at the border letting the cool air rush over her pelt when she felt slight vibrations coming off the ground near her. The scent was familiar, even though she hadn't smelt it in three moons.

"Ashkit, I know you're there!" Brookkit whispered through the darkness.

"It's Ashpaw now and I can't EVER sneak up on you!" the brown and white she-cat slid out from behind the ferns.

"Nope, nor will you ever," Brookkit teased.

"It good to see you, but you're not old enough to be an apprentice yet, right?" Ashpaw asked.

"Let's just call it 'I needed to go get some fresh air and see my old friend,'" Brookkit sighed.

"So in other terms, you snuck out," Ashpaw said.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Brookkit replied.

The two she-cats talked until a bit before sunrise before they made their way back to camp.

Brookkit slipped in unnoticed and saw that Whisperwind was still asleep. She made sure to give her pelt a good lick to get off Ashpaw's Shadowclan scent and settled down. For the first time in a long time she felt happy.

A/N: nice ending huh? Ashpaw will always be there for Brookkit throughout the book :) remember REVEIW= NEW CHAPTER
