[Shellpaw's POV]
I huffed. I just got done with my final warrior assignment. I was going to be able to be a warrior now with my sister! I hoped everyone was okay with that. We had trained so hard since Maskedpine and his two friends became warriors that I just knew I had to be one. It felt good to leave the apprentice den for one last time. There would be new apprentices soon when Sparkfeather gave birth to her kits. She was the only one that would be bringing new blood into the clan at the moment. I wondered if I could be a mentor to one of her kits when they were older and how many she would have. They were only three quarters of a moon away now.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the Small Rock!" Bearstar yowled. I looked at my sister and headed over there quickly. We had done it finally. We may have been exhausted, but the chance at becoming warriors was worth faking energy for now.
"I'm ready." She whispered to me and I nodded at her. We were going to become the new warriors of the clan.
"We have two apprentices that have been training so hard since our last apprentices were made apprentices. I have decided that it is time that they are made warriors. Shellpaw, will you please step up?" The dark brown leader asked me.
"Yes sir." I said loudly not sure if I was meant to answer but no one complained. I stepped up toward the rock looking at our leader. He was so much nicer than Snakestar. I couldn't believe my own father would hate me and make me train all day no matter what.
"From this day on you shall be called Shellclaw. We honor you for your bravery to leave your old clan and seek us out. We honor your ability to fight and hope that you can keep using that." He said and bowed his head to me. Shellclaw. I liked that name.
"Thank you Bearstar." I said quickly and quietly as I went back and sat next to Shardpaw. I wondered what her warrior name was going to be.
"Shardpaw, please step forward. From this moment on you shall be called Shardbreeze. You are swift like the breeze. I hope you continue to honor SmallClan and stay with us for a long time." Bearstar yowled next for my sister. Of course, her name was something pretty just like her.
"Shardbreeze! Shellclaw!" I could hear the other cats cheering for us. They actually were accepting us. I looked around and saw Grasswave and Stormleap cheering loudly for the both of us. I smiled to the pair of siblings. I hard recently learned they lost their other sibling and that is when they adopted Maskedpine as their big brother. I found it really cute.
"We finally did it sis. We got away from Snakestar and we are happy." I whispered to her looking at everyone.
