Chapter Two
Whitekit watches in awe as Oakkkit, Firekit and Thrushkit pad towards Sleetstar. Their pelts newly washed and shinning in the Grean-leaf sunlight that is just beginning to peek through the pine trees that surround HailClan's camp. Thrushkit and Firekit's chests are puffed out and pride and courage is glimmering in their eyes. While their sister, Oakkit looks unsure and scared, probably because she's a she-cat...Whitekit thinks crossly fluffing out her white coat. Though Green-leaf is normally a very hot and humid time for the Clans it has been awfully damp and cold lately. Sleetstar's mew jolts Whitekit from her thoughts and she looks up at her father. Though she doesn't believe in her fathers way of following the warrior code Whitekit can't help but admire the way Sleetstar looks as he stands on Tallstump.
"I want to look like that someday...I want to look down on my Clan as there leader...as Whitestar." Whitekit murmurs quietly, Blackkit snorts beside her.
"Like that's ever going to happen!" he sneers, Whitekit clenches her jaws trying to ignore her brother, though part of her knows he's right. She glances up at Sleetstar as he clears his throat realizing that all eyes are on her and Whitekit. Pelt prickling with shame Whitekit ducks her head and Sleetstar continues.
"As I was saying...Thrushkit from this moment on your name will be Thrushpaw, Berryfrost you will be mentor to Thrushpaw. I know you will pass on all your strength and endurance to make Thrushpaw a warrior HailClan can be proud of!" Sleetstar yowls, Thrushpaw rushes to touch noses with his new mentor and Sleetstar continues. "Firekit from this moment on your name will be Firepaw, Batwing though you are young you are a great hunter and fighter and I know you will make Firepaw a warrior HailClan can be proud of!" Sleetstar booms and Firepaw pads proudly to stand beside his mentor. Sleetstar turns with a slight guarded look towards Oakkit. Whitekit growls under her breath, of course Oakkit's last! Being a she-cat and all! And watch Sleetstar give her a she-cat mentor! She thinks crossly, Sleetstar mumbles something to quiet for the Clan to hear before turning back to Oakkit. "Oakkit from this moment on your name will be Oakpaw..." Sleetstar takes a breath as though the words hurt before continuing. "Cloudwater you will be Oakpaw's mentor. Though I am doubtful I suspect you can pass on all of your skills to Oakpaw." Looking a bit brighter Oakpaw pads warily over to her new mentor. Whitekit digs her claws into the soft sandy ground, Sleetstar gave her Cloudwater! All Cloudwater does is think about her pelt...she grooms it at least four times a day! I've never seen her come back with any prey! Whitekit thinks angrily but she's not about to challenge her father in any way. Sighing with annoyance Whitekit pads over to her former denmates,
"Good job" she mutters to Firepaw and Thrushpaw. Both toms just flick their ears, Whitekit rolls her eyes before dashing over to her best friend, Oakpaw.
"Your an apprentice!" Whitekit exclaims, Oakpaw gives her a faint smile. Whitekit cocks her head to one side, "What's wrong? Aren't you excited to be an apprentice? Do you not want Cloudwater to be your mentor?" Whitekit pelts her friend with questions. Oakpaw shakes her fur,
"No, NO! No way! I'm SO happy I got Cloudwater, she's the prettiest cat in all of HailClan! I'm sure she can help me with my mess of a pelt. That way I'll be able to get a mate and have kits!" Oakpaw murmurs softly, Whitekit's blue eyes widen and she stares at her friend in shock.
"You were just made an apprentice and you're already thinking about a mate and kits? All you want is a mentor with a good pelt?" Whitekit's nose is wrinkled. To think my best friend wants all that! Oakpaw's tail swishes the sandy floor,
"Sure. I mean I'll be able to boast to all the other she-cats from the other Clans that Cloudwater's my mentor that way I'll be able to win the toms easily. I'll have a mate and kits as soon as possible!" Oakpaw exclaims excitedly, Whitekit's white fur bristles.
"Oakpaw! Your insane, don't you want to fight and hunt? And defend you Clan? That's what a warriors for!" Whitekit pesters. Oakpaw sighs,
"Whitekit I respect you want to be a warrior but truthfully I'd just leave that to the toms. I mean being a warrior will be great but like Sleetstar always says she-cats should be in the nursing suckling kits. Bearing new kits to become warriors, or queens." she meows wistfully. Whitekit wants to claw her friend over the muzzle,
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" she yowls not caring who hears her. Oakpaw's eyes cloud with tears,
"I'm sorry Whitekit. But I have different things I want to do in life and being a strong warrior just isn't one of them. But I know you'll get their your the strongest cat I've ever seen. You will become Whitestar."
Sorry its a few words short I just wanted to end it in a sort-of cliffhangerish thing! Anyway do you believe in what Oakpaw is saying? If you were an apprentice in HailClan, StormClan, RainClan or SunClan how would you think? Would you be like Whitekit and always hope that no matter what the Warrior Code says you'll become the first she-cat leader since a LONG time! Or would you be like Oakpaw, sort of have given up hope/not wanting to be a warrior. More focused on life after apprenticeship when you can have a mate and kits and follow the warrior code and maybe have cats in your Clan actually appreciate you because your bearing new warriors for the Clan. Would you be glad to have a beautiful cat as your mentor? To tell you the truth if I couldn't be medicine cat in one of those Clans I'd probably be with Oakpaw, since the Warrior Code says not to and all my leader and father and Clanmates would tell me is she-cats are useless unless their suckling kits and so my whole goal would be to become un-useless. Become a queen! But anyway I hope you enjoyed the chapter sorry it was just a bit short, please review and I don't own warriors!
