Chapter 4:
Flamekit stretched on the mossy floor, and a tingle of excitement went through her when she remembered what the day held. Her apprenticeship ceremony was today! She gave her pelt a through wash, as she wanted to look her best when she became an apprentice.
She had just finished washing when her littermates woke up, and by then her pelt was spotless and smooth. Her littermates began their washing and a while later, their pelt were as soft as swan feathers.
“Let’s go out of the nursery!” Flamekit suggested, and they all padded out of the nursery, overwhelmed with excitement. Flamekit felt sad that she would no longer be sleeping with their mother, but soon she would have new denmates! It would be so exciting, Flamekit thought, that she felt like bouncing all the way to the Highrock, but that was what kits do, Flamekit reminded herself. She would be an apprentice soon!
Summerstar appeared out of his den, and leaped onto the Highrock. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock!” He yowled. Cats began appeared out of the dens and chose a spot to sit below the Highrock.
“I want to appoint a few apprentices.” Summerstar gazed down at Flamekit and her littermates. “You have been with us for six moons. Today you will start your training. Your father and mother have been loyal to FireClan and are brave warriors, may you all tread in their paw steps.”
“Squirrelkit,” Squirrelkit lifted her muzzle and winked at Flamekit.
“From this day onward you shall be known as Squirrelpaw.”
As Squirrelpaw puffed out her chest, Summerstar looked around the clearing, no doubt for Doveheart, Flamekit thought. “Doveheart, you will be Squirrelpaw’s mentor, may StarClan guide your paw steps and let you train her into a fine medicine cat.”
Doveheart stepped forward and gently touched her muzzle to Squirrelpaw’s head.
“Wolfkit,” Wolfkit stepped forward proudly and looked at Summerstar.
“From this day onward you shall be known as Wolfpaw.”
Wolfpaw’s ears pricked up as Summerstar’s gaze sought out one cat. “Thistlebreeze,” Thistlebreeze’s head jerked up in surprise. “You will mentor Wolfpaw, train him to become a great warrior like his father.”
Blinking, Thistlebreeze stepped forward and touched his muzzle to Wolfpaw’s head.
“Cherrykit,” Cherrykit shifted her paws and gazed at Summerstar, “until you earn your warrior name, you will be Cherrypaw. Your mentor will be Leafshine.”
Leafshine stepped forward and gently touched her muzzle to Cherrypaw’s head.
“Flamekit,” Flamekit’s paws shook as he called her name, and she forced herself to look up at Summerstar and hoped that no one had seen her trembling paws, “until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Flamepaw.”
Summerstar looked around the clearing, and meowed, “Dewpool,” Dewpool glanced up at Summerstar with undisguised surprise as Summerstar continued, “You will mentor Flamepaw, train her to be as great a hunter as her mother.”
Dewpool padded up to Flamekit and touched her muzzle to Flamepaw’s head, and Flamepaw was relieved to see warmth in her gaze.
