"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here below talltree for a clan meeting!" A yowl traveled across the camp.
Nearly jumping out of her nest, Goldenkit remembered about her apprentice ceremony.
Birdwing had just finished grooming Speckekit and started rushing over to her. "Goldenkit, when you become an apprentice, you need to wake up on time." Birdwing sighed disappointed that Goldenkit forgot about an important event once again.
"Sorry Birdwing. I was in the middle of an amazing dream!" Goldenkit started "I caught a mouse on the edge of the fores-".
"Goldenkit, this is no time to talk. We need to go outside for the ceremony." Birdwing had said, just finishing grooming her.
"C'mon Goldenkit!" Specklekit yowled
"I'm coming. I'm coming!" She replied.
Goldenkit nearly tripped as she hurled herself out of the nursery. 'I haven't been this exited in moons!' She said to herself.
"Specklekit and Goldenkit. Calm yourselves; running around like that makes you look like fools." Birdwing's harsh words got to Goldenkit, making her stop in her tracks and walk slowly across the camp. Specklekit nearly trampled her as she ran right past her, disobeying their mothers words.
"Specklekit, what did I say?" Birdwing asked
"Sorry Birdwing." She answered, then started to sulk.
Goldenkit made it to the bottom of Talltree, and looked up to see Sweetstar looking down at her with a friendly smile on her face. Specklekit has been at the bottom of the tree a few heartbeats before her.
'The gathering will start soon!' She thought to herself.
"Specklekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as as Specklepaw. Your mentor will be Palepelt." Goldenkit saw Palepelt pad up to Specklepaw with her tail up high. "I hope Palepelt will pass down all she knows to you." Sweetstar finished. Palepelt padded a little closer to Specklepaw and touched noses to her new apprentice.
'Oh no, I'm next.' Goldenkit thought, getting very anxious.
Sweetstar turned her head to Goldenkit and started her speech. "Goldenkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Goldenpaw. Your mentor will be Whitefoot." Whitefoot padded up to Goldenpaw and gave her a friendly smile. "I hope Whitefoot will pass down all she knows on to you." Sweetstar finished her speech.
Whitefoot leaned foreword and touched noses with Goldenpaw.
'I can't wait until tomorrow! My first time out of camp!' Goldenkit excitedly thought running up to Specklepaw and rubbing her head against hers.
"Specklepaw! Specklepaw!" Goldenpaw! Goldenpaw!" The clan cheered and yowled.
'Where is Rainfall?' She thought catching a glance with Birdwing, noting her that she should focus on the ceremony.
"Where is Rainfall?" Goldenpaw asked Specklepaw. "I don't know." She said after a moment. "Then... where could he be?"
