Little Apprentices

Thanks to @rosellecrowns for the story prompt!

"Little Apprentice" is about how high expectations of someone who doesn't have their own identity figured out can be damaging.

Two littermates, Stormpaw and Jaypaw, are considered by Orchidclan to be their best apprentices. Stormpaw, apprenticed by the deputy Thistleflower, is expected to lead Orchidclan with Jaypaw as her most trusted confidant. Except, these two aren't sure that's what they want to do. The truth is, Stormpaw is horrible at public speaking and doesn't believe much in Starclan. Jaypaw wants to be the Medicine Cat, but no one would ever accept a tom of his stature in that kind of rank.

"Little Apprentices" is about trying to find your own identity among the demands of others, and forging your own path even if it's not accepted.

Will Stormpaw and Jaypaw hold out against Orchidclan's path for them? Or will they fall to a different, and possibly much darker, path? Will the Clans thrive, or will their survival be put to the test? Found out, in "Little Apprentices."

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy. I'm still a new writer, so constructive criticism is both welcomed and encouraged.
