A small white kit with ice-blue eyes shot out of the DarkClan nursery. Today was her apprentice ceremony! She was hoping to become the medicine cat apprentice, so that she could learn to heal her Clanmates with herbs, and share tongues with StarClan. She thought it was the most wonderful thing that a cat could do for their Clan.
"Skykit! Come back!" The white kit turned to see her mother, Poppyleaf, standing at the entrance to the nursery.
Skykit padded back over to the nursery. Once there, her mother started grooming her snowy white pelt. She gave a wriggle. "I can do it myself, you know!" she protested.
Her mother stopped licking her to answer. "Well, this is your last day as a kit, so I want to take care of you one last time," she told Skykit.
"Fine," Skykit grumbled, then sat still so that Poppyleaf could finish.
"Let all cats old enough to fight their enemies gather beneath the High Cave for a Clan meeting!" Jaystar's call rang through the DarkClan camp, calling his small Clan together.
Skykit saw Jaggedclaw, the deputy, and Ashdust, a new warrior, emerge from the warriors' den, and saw Shadowpaw, Jaggedclaw's new apprentice, come from the apprentices' den. Last of all, Leafsky appeared from the medicine cat's den.
"We have gathered here to name a new apprentice," Jaystar meowed. "Skykit, please come forward."
On trembling paws, Skykit stumbled into the middle of the clearing. Jaystar's whiskers twitched in amusement. "Leafsky," the leader called.
Yes! thought Skykit.
"Will you take Skykit as your apprentice, and teach her the ways of a medicine cat?" Jaystar asked.
Leafsky gazed calmly up at Jaystar and replied, "I will."
"Then from this day forward, until she has earned her medicine cat name, this apprentice will be known as Skypaw." Jaystar announced.
Skypaw's paws tingled with excitement. She was a medicine cat apprentice! She padded up to Leafsky and touched noses with her new mentor.
"I'm sure you'll do fine, Skypaw." Leafsky murmered.
"Skypaw! Skypaw!" the Clan chanted.
Skypaw gazed around at her Clanmates, so familiar, so comforting.
She was finally the apprentice medicine cat of DarkClan!
