Warriors: Third Strike: Book 1: Morning Has Come

Chapter 11

[Rainpaw's POV]

I watched out of the corner of my eye Tinystar jump up onto the Depth Rock. I had no clue what she was doing up there, but I guessed it must have been for a meeting. I wondered why Witheredsoul was still near me. Usually he would have gone to follow Tinystar within a heartbeat. The tom was always following her nowadays along with Darkfeather. The three were almost inseparable, just like Tinystar, Witheredsoul, and Maplesnow were. Now the three of them seemed to hate each other.

"What do you think about all the changes recently? You can tell me truthfully." Witheredsoul asked me quietly. He seemed like he wanted answers and was being bribed to ask everyone to see what side they were on.

"I guess they are okay. They keep it interesting here. I really like that we have a strong leader, not saying my mother wasn't strong, but Tinystar is a lot stronger." I told him truthfully. I also knew my brother was a lot more partial on it. He loved that the Dark Forest was taking over and couldn't wait to help them. I was still on the border to figure out what was happening. I didn't know if I liked them or not.

"Do you like them?" He asked me flicking his ear. He got up like he was about to leave.

"They are okay. I don't really know, but they seem like they want to do the best." I told him.

He just nodded and headed over to the Depth Rock as Tinystar called a clan meeting. I saw my brother come to my side and smile. It was our time to become warriors. I wondered what our names would be. I knew it would be something awesome.

"We have two apprentices that have trained hard to become warriors. Riverpaw, will you step up first?" The calico shecat asked and I watched as my brother stepped up with his head held high.

I could see Midnightstar in him. He had her eyes and her pride. He also had her brain to figure different things and other cats out. It was a wonder to me what he could do.

"I have seen you train long and hard. You have been strong no matter what happened. I believe that you deserve your warrior name. From this moment on, you shall be called Riversand. We honor you for your courage and wisdom.

"Next we have Rainpaw. Please step up." She said looking at me. I got up and headed next to my brother. "I have also seen you train long and hard. You may not have the same strength as your brother, but you still have the fire that burns bright in all of us. From this moment on you shall be called Rainsong. We honor you for your spite and determination." She called out. I heard my clan chanting out my name along with my brothers name. We were really apart of this now. It was the best thing.
