Chapter 16

A few days had passed since DarkStripe had returned, W/n looked towards the high rock, anxiety pricked at her pelt.

Today was the day, NightKit and PatchKit were going to be made apprentices. They were five moons old, but FireStar urged that they needed more cats to fight against TigerClan.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here for a clan meeting!" The ginger Tom called as NightKit and PatchKit appeared, W/n scooped up her son.

"You need to look your best!" She mewed as she lapped her tongue against PatchKit's fur. He let out mumbles as NightKit laughed at him.

DarkStripe then picked up the black she-cat, "your not getting out of it." He cleaned his daughters fur until they're pelts were smooth.

They both ran forwards as FireStar called them up, "NightKit and PatchKit, until you have aren't your names, you'll be known as NightPaw and PatchPaw."

FireStar nodded to SandStorm, "I believe you should get an apprentice, and NightPaw will learn greatly from you!"

SandStorm touched her nose with NightPaw's the clan cheering the new apprentice's name, BramblePaw could be heard cheering the loudest.

"PatchPaw, I have heard about your visions and how you have helped CinderPelt in the medicine den," FireStar nodded to the white and brown Tom, "is training as a medicine cat what you want?"

"Yes, FireStar!" The Tom puffed out his chest as his green eyes shone in the dawn lit sky. "Then you will be CinderPelt's Apprentice, I hope you'll become a fine medicine cat!"

CinderPelt touched PatchPaw's nose, excited to have an extra paw to help. Everyone cheered for the new apprentices as the clan was dismissed.

W/n padded to her kits, eyes shining with pride, "I'm so happy to see you as new apprentices, I hope you do well."

"Of course we will!" NightPaw basically yowled, FireStar approached the family. "BramblePaw was wondering if he and you could go around the territory together."

NightPaw didn't hesitate, nodding excitedly. "SandStorm is coming too right?" FireStar hummed in agreement.

NightPaw and BramblePaw both set out as SandStorm followed behind, the ginger Tom sighed. "I'll go with them, I don't want TigerStar finding them."

PatchPaw happily padded to the medicine den as CinderPelt called him over. W/n felt herself become worried, NightPaw was going to go into battle with minimum battle training.

Maybe FireStar was planning on cramming a lot of fighting training in? If not then her daughter was going to be in trouble.

"Are you alright?" DarkStripe asked with a frown. W/n nodded slowly as she looked towards the camp entrance, "I'm worried about NightPaw going into this battle against TigerClan."

DarkStripe chuckled, putting his tail on his mate's shoulders, "she's fierce, and SandStorm is mentoring her, she'll be fine."

"I hope so," the p/c she-cat mumbled, "thank you for coming back by the way..." the black tabby lowered his head, his eyes closed.

"I was thinking all about your words during my conflict with my thoughts," He stated, "but my choice to come back was the best decision I've ever made in my time in the clan."
