Warriors: Mist's Choice (Complete)

Chapter 20

Bluewing

 Bluewing purred in amusement when she saw how surprised her sister looked.

 ''Already? How?'' Mist tilted her head, confused. ''I haven't even been in the Clan for an entire moon!''

 Bluewing sighed. ''You already know, Mist. You aren't a real apprentice. You only had to learn ThunderClan's ways.''

 ''But- doesn't Firestar have to ask the mentor how the apprentice is doing before making him a warrior?'' Mist asked.

 ''That's correct.'' Bluewing meowed.

 Mist looked puzzled. ''Didn't you go on a patrol?''

 Bluewing purred. ''No. Brambleclaw only told you that he wants me in a patrol so I could talk to Firestar without you suspecting anything. But that doesn't matter. You're going to become a warrior, Mist!''

 Her sister suddenly looked happy. She purred. ''I'll be a real warrior!''

 ''Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!'' Firestar yowled.

 Bluewing looked at her sister, happy, then sprinted toward the Highledge and sat down. Mist sat down next to her, clearly impatient.

 ''Today, Mist is ready to become a full warrior of ThunderClan. Mist, step forward.'' Firestar meowed.

 Mist suddenly looked anxious and stepped forward.

 ''Ever since the day you left the Tribe and joined ThunderClan, you proved yourself as a loyal cat. You've been training hard to become a full warrior, and there's no point in delaying your warrior ceremony.'' Firestar meowed. ''Do you wish to receive a Clan name?''

 Mist hesitated, then nodded. ''Yes.''

 ''All right. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?'' Firestar asked.

 ''I do!'' Mist nodded.

 ''Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this day forward you will be known as Mistsong. StarClan honors your bravery and patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan.''

 ''Mistsong! Mistsong!'' The Clan chanted. Bluewing was one of the cats who chanted the loudest.

 Mistsong purred. ''Thank you, Firestar. I'm happy to be a ThunderClan warrior.''

 Firestar nodded. ''Meeting dismissed.''

 Bluewing got up and hurried toward her sister. ''Congratulations, Mist! Er, I mean Mistsong. Sorry, I got used to calling you Mist.''

 Mistsong purred. ''Thank you! And it's all right, I felt weird calling you Bluewing when we first met after such a long time, but I got used to it. You'll get used to it, too.''

 Bluewing nodded, then sighed. ''Don't you.. kind of miss our loner life?''

 ''Not really. Why?'' Mistsong tilted her head.

 ''I don't know, it's just that.. we were born as loners, yet here we are, warriors of ThunderClan.'' Bluewing whispered. ''And you were a Tribe cat before.''
