Chapter 4.
The battle had passed, All of the kits were 6 moons old now. Fallenkit was sharing tongues with Swiftkit. Then Sunstar yowled. The leader had recovered from her bad wound from Brokencry. The rogue who was exiled from SunClan.
"Today, 5 kits are ready to become apprentices, There are no more kits now that they are becoming 'paws. Let's hope we get more queens" mewed Sunstar loud enough for the clan to hear, The clan let out purrs.
"Fallenkit!" yowled Sunstar.
I stepped up wearily.
"You have passed through the grief of the death of your loved ones, And you have practiced good battling moves, I think you would become a good apprentice."
"Fallenkit, By the powers of StarClan, I, Sunstar ask them to look after you during your training, So until you become a warrior your name will be, Fallenpaw." she mewed.
"Your mentor will be Thundersky. He is clever and fast. I expect lots from your training, Thundersky. You have learned alot from Brokensky, But you learned lots more now, I expect the best from you." she meowed.
I licked Thundersky's shoulder and he licked mine's too. Soon the rest of the kits got their apprentice names.
Swiftpaw, Ashpaw, Sandpaw, and Tinypaw,
Thundersky sat beside me, I glanced at the floor... Why was this weird? He was a really cute cat.
Did I just call him "cute?"
Thundersky is a young cat so that's okay... I guess?
"Fallenpaw! Swiftpaw! Ashpaw! Sandpaw! Tinypaw!" the cheers rang out through the camp. I purred in happiness.

I looked in the apprentice's den. It was dim and there were no cats there. I sat in the nest in the very back. I peeked through the ferns that lead outside. There was a massive boulder then on the left side was a trail.
I rubbed against my nest quickly and dashed through the trail. I stopped at the end. A huge view of the camp! I gasped in excitement. Then I ducked down and crawled back down the trail, As soon as the 'paws looked out, I snook back in and crawled in a circle.
"Hey- Fallenpaw" mewed Sandpaw. She licked her paw and rubbed her shoulder.
I started to snore quietly. I rubbed against the soft nest. I purred.

The next day...
"Wake up, Fallenpaw." It was Thundersky. He was already awake. I scrambled up to my paws. "Let's go. Your friends are out already." he mewed grumpily.
I stood up and shook myself, Then I followed Thundersky outside as he walked out.
"Where are we starting?" I asked awkwardly. Thundersky didn't answer instead he stopped beside a large tree. "We are collecting moss." he mewed.
I froze. I wanted to snarl at him but I held my tongue.
I sat down and stared at he taught me how to do it.
"First you take your paw and stretch your claws out until they hurt, Then you aim and slice and the moss." he quickly sliced then the swathe of moss dangled from his claw.
"See! Now you try." he mewed.
I sat down and unsheathed my claws until they hurt then I sliced at the moss. The moss dangled from my claw. I twitched my whiskers, Thundersky purred.
I kept on going until I had a pile. I picked some of the moss up."No!" cried Thundersky, "You have to roll it." he grabbed a bit and rolled it expertly with his paws. Then he placed it under his chin. I purred with amusement.
Water dripped. "Hey! Do you want to go up the ravine again?" he snapped.
"No!" I yowled. I quickly rolled the moss and carried it in my mouth. Since that was the last swathe of moss.
We ran to the camp. I sat beside Thundersky as he tore at the moss and tucked it into the corners of the elder's nest.
Larknote purred. "Oh! Thank you, I couldn't rest with the thorns in my nest." She laid in her nest.
"This moss is damp!" growled Weedtail, he scrunched up his face in disgust.
"At least be thankful," I muttered under my breath.
"What did you say?" snarled Weedtail unsheathing his claws.
"WEEDTAIL! She's an apprentice! Are you mouse-brained enough to try to kill her!" Snapped Larknote. She pinned down the tom's tail. Snarling in anger.
They spat at eachother in hushed voices, Larknote growled.
I sighed. Why couldn't this get any worse...?
