Hi, me again, so sorry it took so long. I lost my warriors obsession for a bit, and with that came writer's block. So, to my old readers, but if you're a new reader, WELCOME! Short Chapter yeah, but hey, it's a chapter.

Disclaimer- I do not own Warriors, I just wish I did. If I did own it, I would've never thought of a good plot.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I stood in front of the Tallrock, my pelt freshly groomed, my littermates stood next to me, on either side.

It was time to become apprentices!

"Let all cats of EarthClan gather beneath the Tallrock for a meeting." Spottedstar yowled from her perch at the top of the rock.

"We have an important ceremony to perform, 3 of our kits are ready to become apprentices." Several cats let out purrs.

"Silentkit step forward." She did, slowly, trembling with excitement.

"From now on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Silentpaw. Icefall," She turned to the white she-cat. "You will mentor Silentpaw."

Silentpaw stepped forward and touched noses with her new mentor.

"Shellkit, step forward." I looked up at her, and took a step forward.

"Shellkit, from now on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Shellpaw. Skyrain," She looked at the gold she-cat. "You will mentor Shellpaw."

I took another step, and touched my nose to Skyrain's, she seemed to be pleased.

I moved to stand next to Silentpaw, and we waited for Flamekit's turn.

"Flamekit, step forward." He had a hard time not bounding forward.

"Flamekit, from now on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Flamepaw. Rusticfur," She looked at the dark ginger Tom. "You will mentor Flamepaw."

They touched noses and the rest of the clan began to cheer, "Flamepaw! Shellpaw! Silentpaw!"

I looked up at Skyrain. "What are we going to do first?" I asked.

"First, I am going to take you to explore the territory." She said.

"Can we go now?" I asked. She purred, "Yes we'll go now." She said, and lead me to the opening in the rocks, the entrance to the camp.

We went through, and entered the forest that surrounded the rocks.

"Follow me, I'll show you the WaterClan border today. Tomorrow I'll show you the SparkClan border."

"AirClan is on the other side of the Gathering Meadow. You won't see their borders."

I drank all of the information in as we ran, trying to make sure I would remember everything as we ran.

We came to a stop at a small stream running toward a big river.

"The middle of this stream is the border, but none of EarthClan actually goes in the stream, it's just there to mark where the territory ends." She explained.

The forest on the other side of the stream looked different, it had more bushes, and it smelled like something I couldn't recognize.

"What's that smell." I asked.

"Fish, that's what WaterClan eats." She told me, I wrinkled my nose.

"That doesn't sound very good."

"Well, WaterClan seems to like them well enough. Come on, let's start heading back to camp." She meowed.

"But we just got here." I complained.

"No, we've actually been here for longer than you think."

I sighed, but followed her as she ran back to camp. Taking the scents into consideration, implanting them into my memory.

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Flamepaw and Silentpaw were already back when I padded back into the camp with Skyrain, I padded up to them.

"How did it go?" Silentpaw asked.

"Skyrain took me to the WaterClan border." I told them. "What about you two?"

"Rusticfur brought me to the SparkClan border, nothing real exciting, not like Silentpaw. She caught a squirrel!"

"Really? Good job Silentpaw!" I told my sister.

"It wasn't really big, I brought it to the nursery for the kits. They're all jealous, we'll Puddlekit and Greenkit are. Frozenkit has been following Oasiscloud around, I think she wants to be a medicine cat."

"Why? Being a warrior looks so cool!" Flamepaw meowed.

"We all have different destinies, StarClan gave us the path to choose that was right for us." I mewed.

"Yeah, well, we should be getting to bed soon. Everybody else is." Silentkit said.

"Yeah, we're moving to the apprentices' den! Race you!" Flamepaw took off, and we followed him.

When we got to the den, Bluepaw and Stormpaw were already there.

"Here Shellpaw, the nest next to mine is empty." Bluepaw said.

I crawled into the nest, feeling my littermates curl into the nests that were next to mine, and the one next to that one.

I wrapped my tail around my paws, and was out as soon as I closed my eyes.
