6I am so sorry for not updating recently! My entire life has been wrapped around what High School I will be going to next year and how to keep my stupid Spanish grade up. Ugh. -_-
Chapter 6
It had been three moons since Lynxfur and Silverpaw had died. Lightfeather had kitted a moon ago. Swiftkit, Wildkit, and Mistkit where the kits' names. However, Mistkit had died at a halfmoon old for some unknown reason. Also, Leafwing had moved in expecting Talonfoot's kits in a half moon. So far, the clan was well feed and growing strong. Today Dustpaw and Mudpaw would become warriors. As I padded out of the nursery, I felt Swiftkit and Wildkit behind me.
"Where are we going?" squeaked Wildkit.
I shrugged, not really caring.
"Let's go play at Four Rocks!" Swiftkit decided, bounding away with his sister right behind him. I watched them leave just as Silverstar jumped onto Tallstone.
I guess they won't be playing at Four Rocks right know. I thought to myself.
"Let all cats gather beneath Tallstone for a clan meeting!" Silverstar yowled.
As soon as most of the cats surrounded Tallstone, Silverstar continued, "Today is a good day for LightningClan. Dustpaw and Mudpaw are ready to become warriors."
Dustpaw and Mudpaw emerged from the Apprentices' den, followed by Raggedclaw, Icefrost, Fuzzypaw, and Hailpaw. Mudpaw and Dustpaw's coats were smooth and shiny. After Fuzzypaw sat down near Tallstone, I hurried over to him.
"I hope she picks good names for them," I whispered to him.
He nodded and answered, "It's going to be my turn in 3 moons, and I hope Silverstar names me Fuzzyfur."
Before I could answer, Silverstar began talking again, "I gather all around Tallstone today to form two new warriors. Dustpaw, please come forward."
Dustpaw walked forward
"Do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code at any cost?"
Dustpaw nodded, "I do."
"Then, by the power of StarClan, from now on you will be known as Duststorm, use your name well!" Silverstar purred before placing her head on his.
Silverstar then turned to Mudpaw.
"Mudpaw, come forward," She asked.
Mudpaw came forward happily, his tail shaking with excitement.
"Do you promise to protect your Clanmates at any cost, even if it means giving your own life?"
"Yes, I do," he replied seriously, which was very different from the goofy Mudpaw I usually see around camp.
"Then from now on you will be known as Mudpelt!" Silverstar yowled proudly.
"Duststorm! Mudpelt! Duststorm! Mudpelt!" the entire clan cheered.
Silverstar waved her tail for silence, "That is not all. One other she-cat deserves to have her warrior name, even if she is not here with us."
It took me a couple moments to realize she was talking about Silverpaw.
"Silverpaw, I hope StarClan respects my whishes and allows me to place your warrior name on you. Please StarClan, I wish to give Silverpaw the name of Silvermist."
As if StarClan agreed with Silverstar, sunlight broke through the hole on top of the cave.
"Thank you, StarClan," Silverstar murmured.
And then the clan yowled.
