Frostkit leaped onto a pinecone. ''She got it! She got it!'' Frostkit's sister, Mistykit, squeaked. Frostkit purred. Then suddenly, claws pierced her back. ''CROWKIT!'' Frostkit yelped ''Mistykit, help me!'' Mistykit pounced, landing on Crowkit's tail. He squeaked with alarm and fell onto her. Mistykit leaped out of the way, and Frostkit wiggled from under her brother and laeped onto him. The littermates play-fought for a while, when Brightstorm walked into the nursery. ''Kits, are you disturbing Appledawn?'' she said, casting a glance at the sleeping queen, and her new litter of kits. When Frostkit, Crowkit, and Mistykit shook their heads, she mewed, ''good, now I have news. In the evening, Falconstar is going to make you apprenticed. Mistykit apparently forgot to be quiet, and let out a squeal. ''Shush, Mistykit!'' Frostkit mewed. ''Now it won't be long now, and you three look like you've been pulled through thorns backwards!'' she scolded, bringing Crowkit closer. She began to lick his back, when Crowkit mewed, ''I don't need to be groomed!'' Brightstorm let out a sigh. ''Yes, yes you do.'' After she finished grooming them, the sun began to set. Frostkit's heart was pounding. She was nervous. Frostkit looked around, scared. She heard a rumbling purr from highrock. Falconstar was up there, his gray and black fur shining. ''I hear some kits are of age'' Crowkit mewed ''that's us!'' Mistykit swatted at paw at him. ''Of course, mouse-brain!'' Frostkit mewed quickly, ''stop it, you two! Falconstar's talking!'' The surrounding cats all laughed, and Frostkit shrunk under her pelt. ''let's begin'' Falconstar purred. All three kits sat up straight. Falconstar flicked his tail at Crowkit. ''Crowkit,  from this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be called Crowpaw.'' The clan chanted his new name. ''StarClan,'' Falconstar continued, looking up at the sky, where there ancestors were. ''I ask you to guide this new apprentice. Set her paws on the path she must follow to become a warrior.'' He looked at the crowd of cats. ''Squirrelfur,'' The brown she-cat stepped forward,'' You will be mentor to Crowpaw. You are a honest and loyal. I know you will pass these qualities to Crowpaw.'' Again, everyone chanted his name. Mistypaw was mentored to Nightwing, and it was Frostkit's turn. Her thoughts swirled around her and she missed half of her ceremony. Everyone was chanting, ''Frostpaw! Frostpaw!'' Falconstar frowned at Frostpaw, who was shaking with nervousness. She looked up to see Hawkfur infront of her. She touched noses with him and thought, Hawkfur is the worst mentor ever!''
