Chapter Two
Softkit crept outside with her brother. Meadowkit had licked his handsome chest fur until it shined like a brand of fire in the sun.
Bramblestar, the tabby brown leader of ThunderClan, lept onto the tall stone. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet beneath the highrock!” he yowled. In tail flicks, every cat was at his feet.
Firekit stalked forward. Her snooty snear complemented her shimmering ginger fur. A beautiful black cat with huge blue eyes followed closely behind her. Hollykit smiled widely at her Clan mates.
Softkit looked over at Meadowkit. His blue eyes gained a dreamy focus. When Hollykit’s smile beamed on him, his eyes grew, and he looked away.
“Firekit,” Bramblestar meowed. “Do you promise to uphold the warrior code as long as you live?”
“I do,” she said with the elegance of her sister. She’s only doing that because she’s too smug to look bad in front of Bramblestar! Softkit thought.
“Then by the power of StarClan, I make you Firepaw! StarClan honors your kindness and nobility.” Kind? Noble? Seriously!
“Hazeltail,” he continued. “You are kind and brave. You have all the skills of your mother-” Every cat bowed their heads in honor of Daisy, who watched among the stars- “and you shall be Firepaw’s mentor!”
Firepaw ran forward to the pretty gray and white she-cat, brushing her muzzle against Hazeltail’s. Firepaw’s tail waved back and forth, causing the dusty ground to blow about.
“Hollykit,” Bramblestar had less a pur in this meow. “Will you protect the Clan with your life?”
“Of course, Bramblestar,” she purred sweetly.
“Then by the power of StarClan, I make you Hollypaw. StarClan honors your selflessness and forgiveness as you become an apprentice.
“Hollypaw will be my apprentice, and I shall oversee her training.” A ripple of gasps erupted from the Clan.
