CHAPTER 2:

'Mudpaw' my new name. i kept repeating it over and over again inside my head.i had become an apprentice!!!!!! i bounded over to where greenpaw was napping in the apprentices den, she had missed the rest of the ceremony, hogkit, our brother had become hogpaw, sinkit, sinpaw and our friend clawkit had been named clawpaw! MoutianClan, as of today has 5 new apprentices, us! By prodding Greenpaw in the ribs with my paw i woke her up. "What!" she grunted. "come on! lets try and guess who our mentors will be!" i meowed. Greenpaw got to her feet, "i already know who my mentor will be, Snowleaf!" i remembered now, greenpaw would become the medicine cat's apprentice! "sorry" i mewed before quickly continuing, "i hope Mousefoot isn't my mentor!" "naw, i wouldn't bet on that" the voice wasn't greenpaws-or mine. i turned around to face the entrance of the apprentices den, there stood Mousefoot. greenpaw snickered. i just dipped my head respectfully and softly mewed "sorry, mousefoot." "now, now" he replied "i don't mind" looking up, i know i saw a faint flicker of hurt in his eyes, flicking his tail in farewell he turned and padded across the clearing to the fresh kill pile. i instantly felt bad. "geenpaw-" i began, but just as the words left my mouth Hogpaw and Sinpaw shoved there way through the entrance of the den, poor Clawpaw behind them was eating there dirt. "So!" hogpaw half yowled "this is our new den!" i rolled my eyes as i turned away from my brothers and Clawpaw. I padded past Greenpaw who looked as disgusted at them as i was, out of all my siblings Greenpaw was the only intelligent one. now at the back of the den i picked a bed of leaves and tore at it until i found it comfortable enough to lay on. i fell into a restless sleep. I woke up just as the sun was rising, today we will find out who our mentors will be, i felt a little upset, i still felt bad about mousefoot, i half-wished that he WOULD be my mentor. looking around in the den i saw 4 sleeping cats, greenpaw, hogpaw, sinpaw and clawpaw. they had been my litter mates, and now we were apprentices, i felt a tingle of pride...
