Chapter 21

A terrifying shriek made both Clans jump to their feet. They all looked toward the lake, where Flowerstem disappeared to. Coldeyes pounded out the camp to where the shriek came from. Mousepelt followed after with Amberheart and Cinderfoot.

When they came to the lake, Silversol had the ThunderClan medicine cat pinned down with unsheathed claws. Coldeyes jumped out and pushed the Dark Forest she-cat off Flowerstem. He went to help Flowerstem up as Silversol got to her paws. She was dripping wet from the lake and her teeth were bared in a snarl.

Amberheart pounced at the white warrior followed by Mousepelt. Silversol quickly moved away in time for the two to hit the water. They spun around to face the scarred she-cat. She glared at them for a moment, but relaxed her face and looked at the friends with her usual mischievous look.

"Get lost, Silversol!" Mousepelt spat.

"Can't I stop by and visit my favorite she-cats?" Silversol purred. "I also heard that some kits were born, I absolutely love kittens that I'd be more than happy to see them."

"I'd be more than happy to escort you to nothing!" Amberheart snapped.

"I'm sorry, but these aren't ThunderClan cats, now are they?" Silversol meowed at the golden she-cat.

"We wouldn't introduce kits to you, no matter what Clan they came from!" Mousepelt shot.

"You should be wary of at least one," Silversol turned and began walking off, "trust me, not giving this kit to me will be a huge mistake!"

"Cats of ShadowClan, as you know, I will not be around forever," Coldeyes announced, sitting under the high tree, "so it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown compassion and determination for our sick and injured. Your next medicine cat will be Docilepaw!"  the golden and cream she-cat picked her ears up and her face brightened.

"Docilepaw, do you accept the post of apprentice to Coldeyes?" Jumbledstar asked from the Hazel branch.

"I do!" Docilepaw squeaked, not hiding her excitement.

"Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Moonpelt to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats." Coldeyes meowed with a little purr.

"The good wishes of all ShadowClan will go with you." Jumbledstar finished. Coldeyes stepped up and touched noses with Docilepaw as as they both went to sit outside the medicine den. "Spotkit, Sirenkit!" Jumbledstar called out to Docilepaw's siblings. The two proudly stepped up before their leader. "you two 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 names, you will be known as Spotpaw and Sirenpaw." the new apprentices looked at each other excitingly and Spot paw almost looked like a normal tom kit getting his apprentice name.

"Spotpaw, your mentor will be Mousepelt." Jumbledstar went on. "I hope Mousepelt will pass down all she knows on to you." Mousepelt was more than happy to take care of the kit, unlike Viperfang. "Mousepelt, you are more than ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Ravenclaw, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and powerful. You will be the mentor of Spotpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Spotpaw."

Mousepelt walked up to her new apprentice and touched noses with him. They went to go sit next to Ravenclaw as Sirenkit's turn came up.

"Sirenpaw, your mentor will be Crazyfeather," Jumbledstar announced, both warrior and apprentice's face brightened with excitement, it wasn't a secret that the two were very close, he was the warrior she wanted to play the most with. "I hope Crazyfeather will pass down all he knows on to you." the grey warrior bolted over and sat next to his new apprentice. "Crazyfeather, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Figitfoot, and you have shown yourself to bring joy, even in the most darkest of times. You will be mentor of Sirenpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Sirenpaw."

The two touched noses and went to sit with Mousepelt and Spotpaw.

"Stripepaw! Docilepaw! Spotpaw! Sirenpaw!" ShadowClan greeted their new apprentices. Stripepaw puffed his chest out, sitting next to Blackclaw. Silversun mostly called out the grey and golden toms name as well as Frightwing and Goldenpelt.

"I can't wait to start our hunting training!" Sirenpaw mewed excitingly to her brother and sister as they ran up to each other.

"Forget hunting," Spotpaw pounced at nothing, "I want to get to battle training!"
