Thanks for your reviews, and I'm sorry this chapter took so long. I was really busy with school, siblings, and a play im in. I also had a minor case of writer's block so it took me longer than it usually does to write this chapter. Hope you like it!
Into The Light
Chapter 3
When Starkit opened her eyes, she felt a trill of exitment. It was Daisy's kits apprentice ceremony today! She felt a little disappointed that her ceremony wouldn't be for another moon, but still, it was only a moon away! She got to her paws and stumbled outside. Her siblings were all having a play fight, pretending to be Lion Clan during the battle with blood clan. Sunkit was being Firestar, leading Lion clan to glory with Moonkit and Daykit while Lightkit, Nightkit and Darkkit played as Blood Clan. Darkkit was playing as Scourge, because he was the smallest of the kits. Daisy's kits warched with interest before turning and padding into the nursery to wash themselves before their ceremony. As they walked by her she mewed her looked around the camp. Patrols were going in every which direction,and she noticed Bramblestar talking with Blossomfall, Birchfall, Foxleap, and Mousewhisker. Starkit guessed that these were probably going to be Daisy's kits mentors. "I wonder who my mentor will be." She mewed out loud. Her siblings noticed and stopped their game. "I hope I get Lionblaze!" Sunkit announced. "He was Dovewing's mentor, and he is a really good fighter." "I hope I get Lionblaze because he is Firestar's kin." Moonkit said. "Also, he was one of the prophecy, like Dovewing and Jayfeather!" Jayfeather would be a cool mentor. Starkit reflected. Although he wouldn't be much fun. "Let's go see who Jayfeather thinks would be a good mentor!" She said. This way I can see what it would be like to be a medicine cat! "OK, I grazed my pad on a rock while we were fighting so we'll have a good exuse to go." Lightkit said.
When they reached the medicine cat's den, they found Briarlight sorting yarrow leaves. She turned around when they came in. "Jayfeather went out to get some marigold. I can help you though." She said. "Lightkit grazed he's paw, we wondered if we could get something to help."Starkit said. She felt slightly disappointed that Jayfeather wasn't there, but Briarlight pretty much was Jayfeather's apprentice even though she never shared with Star Clan. Jayfeather had said that he would choose an apprentice when Star Clan told him to, although most cats didn't think he would listen to Star Clan because he was stubborn with a sharp tounge. "Who do you think would be a good mentor?" Starkit mewed as casually as she could. Briarlight saw her exitment and worry immediately. "Don't worry, I'm sure Bramblestar will pick great mentors for you. He has never been wrong before." Starkit thought grimly of how Bramblestar had only chosen two mentors so far, then she remembered seeing Bramblestar talking to 4 warriors earlier who were probably the other kit's mentors. "I know who we're not getting!" She told the other kits what she had seen. "Lucky! Foxleap would have been a good mentor." Darkkit said. Briarlight had finished putting some juice on Lightkit's paw, and was putting the rest of the leaves away. "What are those? She asked curiously. "These are dock leaves. They are good for scratches." Briarlight replied. "Why?" "I was just wondering." Starkit mewed hastily, not wanting Briarlight to know her real reasons. Briarlight looked at her for a minute before shrugging and turning away.
After they left the den, Starkit heaved a sigh of relief. In truth, she was fascinated by the idea that leaves from a certain plant could heal scratches and sooth pain. She didn't mind if Jayfeather was grouchy. All she knew was that whatever it took, she wanted to be a medicine cat. She didn't usually participate in her siblings battle games, and the idea of being a warrior had never thrilled her as much as her siblings. Right now she felt so exited she bet that every cat in camp could tell. As they wandered back to the nursery, she was so exited,she hardly remembered a thing.
When they reached the nursery, she saw Daisy's kits inside, quivering with excitement. Autumnkit didn't look as exited as the rest as he tried to duck out of reach of his mother's tounge. Suddenly, a yowl came from Highledge. "All cats old enough to catch your own prey, please gather beneath Highledge for a clan meeting." Bramblestar's yowl echoed around camp. Starkit and her siblings scrambled throgh the mouth of the den. "Good luck!" She purred to her denmates before racing to Highledge. Bramblestar waited for everyone to arrive before gazing down at the kits. "You have reached six moons, and today you will start your training. Springkit, from this moment on, you will be known as Springpaw. Blossomfall, you will be mentor to Springpaw. I trust you to pass on your warriors skills to this young apprentice. As they touched noses, Starkit thought that Springpaw looked really nervous, but the sparkle in her eye showed how exited she really was. Summerkit was next. Her mentor was Foxleap. " Lucky." She heard Sunkit whisper next to her. Autumnkit got Birchfall, and Winterkit got Mousewhisker. Bramlestar chanted Springpaw, Summerpaw, Autmnpaw, Winterpaw's names and the rest of the clan quickly joined in. Starkit was certain she cheered the loudest of all.
By the time she had gotten back to the nursery, she flopped down in her nest and plunged into a dream about herbs, apprentices, dock leaves and marigold.
