When Lunarkit awoke, she could feel the rythmic breathing of a cat next to her. When she attempted to turn around, she let out a moan of pain, for her joints were as stiff as rocks. "Don't move."She heard the cat whisper. It was the cat with the soft, sweet voice. The cat stood up and pawed some herbs for her to eat. Lunarkit was in to much pain to refuse. They tasted awful, it was very bitter. "These will help your joints loosen up and the poppy seeds will help you sleep." After Lunarkit had eaten all of the herbs the cat layed down next to her. She was to tired and stiff to figure out who it was. So she just closed her eyes and slept.
When she awoke once more, she found she could stand up. Not for very long, but it was more than before. The cat that had been there earlier was still asleep next to her. It was Juniperwing. Lunarkit wasn't sure what to do now, so she nudged Juniperwing awake.
"Seems like someone is doing better."She yawned. "Yah. But I still am a little bit achy." "You will be for about a week. But i promise. It will get better." "How long do i have to stay here?" "You can leave as soon as i check you for any signs of sickness." Juniperwing stood up and started to poke and prode Lunarkit."You seem fine. But if anything seems wrong come and tell me right away. Ok." "OK." Lunarkit started to hobble outside. The snow had gone down quiet a bit since the accident. As Lunarkit stepped outside a sea of cats started to swarm around her. Nudging her and purring their hearts out, as relief flooded them all. "Let her get back to her den."A voice boomed. It was Winterstar up on the high rock. Feeling slightly embaressed, Lunarkit hobbled back to the nursery to find her Mossmouth at the enterance. "Oh, your all right! That is the second time i've been worried sick about you. Anymore and i might have a heart attack." Mossmouth exclaimed. "I know mommy." "Come lay down next to me." Lunarkit followed her mom to her next and snuggled as close as she could get to her mom and fell asleep. Only to have another dream.
"Lunarkit."A soft voice meowed."Lunarkit you have to listen to me. That storm was only one of the many things that are going to happen to Snowclan." "What do you mean?" "Your clan is in grave danger. When everyone loses hope, The smallest of the small will lead the way." Before Lunarkit could even say another word the cat was gone.
Lunarkit woke up. She just sat there thinking. Today she was six moons old. That meant that she would become an apprentice."I wonder who Winterstar will choose. Maybe Leafdawn. She strong and wise, but she hasn't been the same since Kindlepaw died."Lunarkit thought.
She sat there for a few moments. Then Tortiosepaw stuck his head into the den."Winterstar wants to see you."
Lunarkit quickly stood up and followed him."You know where his den is."
She quickly nodded her head.
"Then go."
"Ok. Thank you."
She quickly headed to the cave. When she reached it she called in."It's Lunarkit."
"Come in. I have some very good news for you. As you know. It is your sixth moon. So that means that you can become an apprentice."There was a short pause."Your cerimony will be held at sunhigh."
"Thank you."She bowed her head and left.
"Let all cats old enough to catch thier own prey join me beneath the high ledge."
Everyone started to file out of thier dens, as Lunarkit went to stand next to Winterstar.
"I gather you here today because Lunarkit has reached her sixth moon."There was a short pause."Lunarkit, from this day until you recieve your warrior name you will be known as Lunarpaw. I ask our great warrior ancestors of moonclan to watch over you and guide you until you in your paws, find the strenth and courage of a warrior."
Everyone started to chant Lunarpaw's name.
"Leafdawn, you mentored Kindlepaw and losing her was a tragity. But will you accept Lunarpaw as your new apprentice?"
"Yes."
"Teach her everything you know. She's in your paws now,"
"Thank you."
They stepped together to touch noses. Lunarpaw shone with pride.After everyone left Lunarpaw asked,"When are we going to go out?"
"Maybe tomorrow. I think you should settle down in your new den first."
"Ok."Lunarpaw started for the apprentice's den. But when she laid down she was too tired to sleep. So she just laid there until sleep consumed her.
