Hello! How is everyone's Sunday? Today I finished chapter 3. I want you to know something, I did not base Mintstar on Mintpelt, my name. I just really like the name 'Mint' and I wanted the leader to have it. To the story. Remember to review! Disclaimer:I do not own warriors but I wish I did

Chapter 3

"Let all cats able to catch their own prey gather here for a clan meeting!" Mintstar's call flooded the ravine.

Peachkit looked up and heard squealing.

"Peachkit!" It was Birdkit, "It's my apprentice ceremony! I hope I get someone strong who will train me well."

Dawnkit meowed, "Don't take all the good mentors!"

Whitekit purred, "I already know my mentor!"

The whole clan knew that Whitekit was to be apprenticed to Streamflow, he had taken a liking to healing since birth.

Peachkit meowed, "We have to go, it's almost started."

Birdkit wailed, "But my fur doesn't look perfect!"

Speckledpelt meowed, "It's fine, so hurry!"

Peachkit ran with the others to Mintstar. "There are three kits to be made apprentices today," Mintstar started, "Icekit, Birdkit, and Whitekit."

The three went to Mintstar who beckoned Icekit forward.

"Icekit," Mintstar meowed, "From this day until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Icepaw. Your mentor will be Silverclaw. Silverclaw, I hope your strength will be passed onto Icepaw."

The silver warrior touched noses to Icepaw. "Birdkit," Mintstar meowed, "From this day until you earn your warrior name you will be known as Birdpaw. Your mentor will be Brownclaw. Brownclaw, I hope what Tailclaw taught you will be enough to take on Birdpaw."

Peachkit noticed the look in Brownclaw's eyes as he touched noses with Birdpaw. Did he not like his old mentor?

"Finally, Whitekit. You have chosen a different path than your littermates. From this day until you earn your full name, you will be known as Whitepaw. Your mentor will be Streamflow. Streamflow, pass onto Whitepaw what Milkwhisker taught you." The medicine cat touched noses with Whitepaw.

The clan chanted, "Icepaw! Birdpaw! Whitepaw!"

Mintstar jumped down and the clan went to congratulate the apprentices. Peachkit started going but Dawnkit stopped her.

"They are going to busy. We can talk to them tonight. We should go practice. Sure we can stop our powers from going but we should try unlocking more moves. Streamflow said we would be able to."

Peachkit meowed, "But I want to congratulate them! At least let us go talk to the elders and ask for a story. I don't want my whole life filled with practising a power."

Dawnkit's eyes were filled with worry. She kept looking back from the elders den to the medicine clearing. Peachkit wondered, had she said something?

Dawnkit meowed, "Fine! Go to the elders."

Dawnkit whisked away and Peachkit ran after her. "Dawnkit! Don't be angry, we just need to have fun! Don't run!"

Dawnkit ran to the medicine clearing but before disappearing turner and sneered, "Come when you're done with stories meant for kits."

Peachkit walked away and whispered, "We are kits. Everyone says not to waste your kithood."

Peachkit walked to the elders den. Scarpelt was lying his nest. He was very weak from bout of greencough. Streamflow said he had half a moon to live, that was when her and Peachkit would be apprentices.

Peachkit went to Mousetail and

asked, "Can you tell me a story about when you were a kit?"

Mousetail began in his old raspy voice, "My mother, Sparrowfeather was sick and had to go to the medicine den. Me and Finchkit, my sister, decided to find herbs. We went with Milkpaw, that's the old medicine apprentice and my father Twigleaf. We traveled a bit out of camp and collected some leaves. We didn't know they weren't herbs but we went back. The leader, Yellowstar knew we went out and let us go to Sparrowfeather. The medicine cat told Sparrowfeather that we got herbs for her. He knew nothing would make my mother better so he fed the useless leaves to her. You must understand that these leaves had no significant power or anything. After a few days, the medicine cat realized Sparrowfeather was getting better. We think it was because the thought of her kits and mate loving her was enough to bring her to life. There's nothing more to it. Peachkit, how do you like my story?"

Peachkit replied, "It was beautiful. I've got to go now, Dawnkit's angry at me."

Mousetail didn't say anything and let her go. Peachkit ran to the small cave beside the medicine den. She went in and slipped through the crack. Dawnkit was sitting down in the middle of the clearing.

She spoke, "Peachkit! You actually came! I'm sorry for earlier, I was feeling different. I sort of felt jealous that they got their apprentice names. Anyways, look at what I can do!"

Dawnkit began shooting water out of her claws at Peachkit. "Hey!" Peachkit yowled, "I'm going to get you! You know how much I hate water!"

Peachkit chased Dawnkit around the clearing. She thought that she would get her move soon too. Peachkit went to the middle of the clearing and began thinking. The tips of her ears lit up, her ears became flames!

Dawnkit looked surprised, "You are on fire. I better set you out!"

Dawnkit began squirting water at Peachkit who tried protecting her ears as much as possible. All of a sudden, Dawnkit collapsed. Peachkit didn't know what to do. She ran to Dawnkit and saw she was barely breathing. She ran to get Streamflow. Was this her fault? Peachkit shuddered and ran.

Streamflow meowed, "Hi Peachkit! I'm in the middle of training Whitepaw so maybe you can come later."

Peachkit replied, "No! I can't! Dawnkit collapsed after one of our training exercises. We unlocked a new move but now she won't move. I think I pushed her."

Just then, Peachkit realized Whitepaw there the whole time. Streamflow meowed, "Whitepaw, Dawnkit has probably landed funny on her legs. I will handle it but next time you can come. I want you to practise making cats feel more confident about the injured."

Streamflow ran and left Peachkit with Whitekit. He meowed, "We are supposed to talk now, you know to make you feel better. If you want to go to the nursery you can."

Peachkit nodded and padded away. She knew Dawnkit would be fine, she just wasn't in the mood for talking. She curled up on her nest and fell asleep.
