The forest has many different smells and sounds! I think I'll stay? Amber walked around seeing if she can find her silver friend. "Graypaw! GRAYPAW! It's me! Amber! Where are you!?" Amber called but no reply. I wonder where he is? At least I'm not with that snake heart Smokey! I hope he dies somewhere or something!
Do I really mean that? Do I really want him to die? The flash backs rolled in Amber's mind of Smokey saying she's a nuicense. Yea, I mean it, I know I do. I better go find Graypaw. Amber wandered around for a while till she started to smell him around some trees. I smell him!
Amber bursted through some bushes and trees to get to him. "Hey! Graypaw! I really have to talk to you!" Amber yowled.
Graypaw was with two other cats, both of them looked older. One of them was pure black with a white underbelly which looked the oldest.
The second one was cream colored and was a she cat. The cream one spoke first. "Who is this, Graypaw!? She's a kittypet, I could smell it from a mile away!"
I could see hate in her icy blue eyes. The cream cat slid out her claws and was growling at me, ready to spring.
Fine if she wants to play it like that! The cream cat sprung at me and I slid out my claws and batted her in the face till she skidded back. We both let out growls and hisses. I was ready to run back at her when the black cat went between us. "Stop it! Who is this cat Graypaw?"
Graypaw gulped nervously. "Umm well you see.. she's a friend.."
"You mean a kittypet friend!" The cream cat spat. I growled at her again. The black cat looked down at me. "Well, kit, what's your name?" Amber gulped. "My name is Amber."
The black cat smiled. "She has potential, I think she will make a great addition to the clan if she's up for it."
Both Graypaw and the cream cat jumped back in surprise. Amber did as well. The cream cat looked at the older black cat. "But Ravenstar! We can't let this kittypet into windclan! She's used to the soft life!" The cream cat snapped.
Ravenstar shot her an angry look. "Well, Creamfur, she has a warriors spirit, I can tell."
Amber straighted and puffed out her chest. Graypaw Still looked confused. Creamfur rolled her eyes and glared at Amber. What's her problem with me?! Amber looked away from Creamfur nervously. Ravenstar's gaze became more serious. "Amber, do you want to join us?"
Flashbacks of Smokey came to her mind. Of him with that pretty she cat, his hurtful words towards me. Amber straighted. "Yes. I would like to join Windclan." Graypaw's eyes became brighter. He looked very happy for me. Ravenstar motioned her with his tail to follow him. All the cats were walking back to camp.
Once they entered through some Brambles, Amber looked around. Wow! All these different smells! So many cats! Amber started to walk with Graypaw around the camp. "Well Amber, this is Windclan, over there in the medicine den is Swiftleaf, she's our medicine cat."
Amber looked at the medicine cat. Swiftleaf looked over at Amber in a surprised look. Graypaw wasn't finished talking yet. "That's the nursery over there, that's where the kits and queens sleep for a while." Amber poked her head through some brambles to look at the kits.
She saw a pure white she cat in there with three kits wrapped around her tail. "Oh that's Icesong, she delivered kits a week ago."
Icesong was already asleep with her little ones. Amber and Graypaw explored the camp some more. "That's the apprentices den, that's where I sleep, and over there is the warriors den, I'm gonna be sleeping in there soon. I'm 2 moons away from being a warrior."
Amber's eyes shined bright from the glistening sun. Ravenstar padded on the highrock. "Everyone old enough to hunt, gather beneath the highrock for a clan meeting." Amber looked confused. Graypaw motioned her over with his tail. She sat next to Graypaw. "Now as you may or may no know, Amber has joined our clan, and she is old enough to be an apprentice. Amber, until you get your warrior name, you shall be known as Amberpaw, your mentor will be Hollythorn. I hope you pass down your skills to Amberpaw." Hollythorn nodded and padded over to Amberpaw to touch noses.
They both touched noses and everyone cheered. "AMBERPAW, AMBERPAW!!!!!"
Amberpaw was so happy and proud of herself. Graypaw congratulated her. The sun was going down. "Well, Amberpaw, training is tomorrow, we better get some rest.. for a long day tomorrow.."
