Letter.

**Stormkit was delighted because the leaf she found had a writing on it. She decided not to tell the writer, which was Crabkit, as on the letter, because if Crabkit found out, she would be very enraged. Stormkit also knew that Cloudkit would be very upset and enraged with her so she kept this leaf a secret. One night, as Stormkit snuggled in her leaf bed, Cloudkit snuck over and snatched the leaf from Stormkit’s paw. Seeing it was for her, she kept it. The next morning, Stormkit awoke to find it missing! Cloudkit came over with Crabkit.**

**„So you’ve been keeping this, Stormkit?“ Crabkit demanded.**

**„ Uh, no. I-it’s not m-mi-mine..“ stammered Stormkit.**

**„Then why have I found it in *your* paw? asked Cloudkit.**

**„N-no I w-was just… I was…“ Stormkit said guiltily.**

**„ You were just keeping it a secret!“ Cloudkit announced cheerily.**

**„ I wasn’t!“ Stormkit meowed.**

**„You were! And now you should apologize.“ Crabkit said.**

**„S-sorry, I d-didn’t..“ Stormkit apologized.**

**Rather amused, Crabkit and Cloudkit slinked away, pawing the leaf on which the note was written. The three of them realized they had to go to High Rock for a Clan meeting! When they arrived, the leader of their Clan, WaterClan, gave them apprentice names.**

**„Crabpaw! Cloudpaw! Stormpaw! Crabpaw! Cloudpaw! Stormpaw!“ the Clan cheered.**

**Stormpaw went to train with her mentor, Windblaze, who was a grey tom. Crabpaw went to train with her mentor, a white she-cat with grey paws called Silverpelt. Cloudpaw trained with the deputy Skyheart who was a cinnamon-colored cat.**

**„You know,“ Silverpelt began, looking at Crabpaw, „If you look at the sky at moonrise until sunrise, you can see shining golden things“.**

**„What are they called?“ asked Crabpaw, curiously.**

**„They’re called stars,“ Silverpelt replied.**

**„And why aren’t there any at daytime?“ Crabpaw asked.**

**„There are, actually, but the sun is so bright that you can’t see them,“ Silverpelt told her dreamily.**

**Crabpaw looked up, at the sky.**

**„The sun is bright,“ she meowed,“and I can’t see the stars“.**

**Crabpaw’s younger sister came.**

**„Meow. What are you looking at?“ she asked.**

**„Stars,“ said Crabpaw,“One day, when you’re older, you’ll understand“.**

**„I don’t see anything,“ said Milkykit.**

**„At night you would,“ Crabpaw answered.**

**So Milkykit went to her mum and asked her about stars. Meanwhile, Stormpaw was learning how to be a medicine cat. Windblaze the Medicine Cat taught her how to use herbs. He also told her the names of the herbs. Stormpaw was a fast learner and learned 10 names of different herbs. Cloudpaw was learning how to hunt. The deputy was an excellent hunter, and he taught her many little tricks how to hunt. Cloudpaw saw a mouse.**

**„Try and catch it,“ said Skyheart, the deputy, watching intently.**

**„Okay, I will try,“ said Cloudpaw, looking at the timid mouse which was scurrying around a corner.**

**Silently, Cloudpaw cornered the mouse. Then, suddenly, she pounced. Skyheart almost jumped. How amazingly quick his apprentice was! But Cloudpaw wasn’t done yet. The exact moment she pounced, the mouse scurried away to a nearby rock. So Cloudpaw stumbled, grazing her hind paws on the hard rock.**

**„What happened to you?“ Skyheart said, coming to Cloudpaw.**

**„I don’t know, but the mouse escaped,“ Cloudpaw pointed in the direction of the mouse.**

**„Don’t mind the mouse, I have to get you to the medicine den.“ her mentor said.**

**So he carried Cloudpaw, back into the camp. As soon as they arrived in the medicine den, Stormpaw, who was being mentored at the moment surprisedly looked up from a pile of herbs.**

**„And what might *you* be doing *here?*“ she asked.**

**„My hind paws got injured while I was hunting a mouse,“ Cloudpaw explained.**

**„Ohh. I have an apologize gift for both you and Crabpaw,“ Stormpaw said, looking at Cloudpaw’s hind paws.**

**The medicine cat, and also Stormpaw’s mentor, Windblaze, also examined Cloudpaw carefully.**

**„No great damage is done, but she would have to keep down walking and running for a few moons, and hunting is out of question,“ Windblaze told Cloudpaw.**

**„Awww I did so want to catch a mouse,“ Cloudpaw meowed sadly.**

**„But I’ll visit you in the apprentice’s den everyday!“ Stormpaw promised.**

**„Thank you, Stormpaw,“ Cloudpaw said.**

**Just then, Stormpaw’s older sister and her older brother came into the medicine den.**

**„Stormpaw! We hunted a rabbit today and we’d like to share it with you!“ said Coralpaw, Stormpaw’s older sister.**

**„Thank you, sister, I’ll join you in the field outside in a few moments,“ Stormpaw thanked her siblings.**

**Suddenly, Stormpaw’s siblings saw Cloudpaw.**

**„What happened to her?“ asked Stormpaw’s older brother, Grasspaw.**

**„She’s injured,“ said Windblaze.**

**„Poor you,“ Coralpaw said.**

**Stormpaw watched her siblings slink away.**

**„Here’s your gift, Cloudpaw, and I hope you get well soon,“ Stormpaw said, handing her a leaf with some writings on.**

**After that, Stormpaw joined her siblings outside while Windblaze bandaged Cloudpaw’s hind paws. Skyheart watched her. Cloudpaw read the leaf. On it there was written:**

**Cloudpaw looked up. It was sun-down now. She was sure sure she didn’t want to miss dinner time. But she knew she couldn’t walk.**

**„Skyheart, would you please carry me outside?“ she asked Skyheart.**

**„Sure I will!“ Skyheart said, carefully lifting Cloudpaw and avoiding touching her hind paws.**

**Cloudpaw liked to be carried by Skyheart. It felt like flying. Skyheart put her down gently and petted her head.**

**„Thankyou, Skyheart,“ Cloudpaw said gratefully.**

**„You’re always welcome,“ he replied.**

**The kits ate first, and also the injured cats like Cloudpaw. Skyheart brought Cloudpaw a plump rabbit to eat. After the kits, the warriors and apprentices ate. Next were the medicine cats. Lastly, Skyheart and the leader Waterstar ate. WaterClan’s warriors were excellent hunters and they had so much food left that Waterstar said they won’t have to hunt again the next day. After that, they went to the lake in their territory and had a drink of water. Cloudpaw couldn’t walk and was carried by her dad, Waterclaw. After drinking, Cloudpaw was very refreshed. Skyheart carried her to the apprentice’s den, while other apprentices followed him. The warriors got the kits into the nursery then, they went to the warrior’s den while Waterstar passed every den saying good night.**

**„The food was so delicious!“ Stormpaw said in the apprentice’s den.**

**„Yeah, I ate so much my tummy hurts,“ her older brother Grasspaw said, rubbing his round tummy.**

**„Let’s go to sleep, I’m tired,“ said Cloudpaw.**

**Cloudpaw laid down on the soft leaf bed and she soon fell fast asleep. In her dream the Clan leader made her a warrior. But then a sudden change came over the dream. It became a nightmare! She was hunted down by cats from her own Clan and she fell into an ice-cold river. And then she woke up.**

**„Me-meow? Where am I?“ she asked silently.**

**Cloudpaw saw Stormpaw beside her. She let out a little surprised and afraid „Meow!“ And leapt away. Her paw fell on a soft ball of fur. She realized it was a cat! The cat was startled and woke up.**

**„What are you doing so late up in the night?“ the cat said to her.**

**„Waterstar is chasing me,“ Cloudpaw said.**

**„REALLY?!“ Cloudpaw realized the cat was Coralpaw.**

**„He wouldn’t do tha —„ Stormpaw was interrupted.**

**„Ohhh that was just my dream,“ Cloudpaw meowed.**

**„You should go back to bed before you wake the other cats.“ said Coralpaw.**

**Cloudpaw’s sister, Sandpaw, woke up.**

**„What’s the mess about?“ Sandpaw asked.**

**„Nothing, you just go back to sleep,“ Cloudpaw said.**

**Sandpaw went back to her bed. Cloudpaw also did but she couldn’t sleep. She really wanted to be training tomorrow. She missed hunting. Without realising, she fell asleep again. As the warmth of sun-up came, she was still sleeping. The other apprentices had to wake Cloudpaw up.**

**„Awwh, it’s morning,“ she told herself, „ time to wake up“.**

**She stood up and groomed her fur— her hind paws were healed! Exitedly, she ran out the den as fast as she could  go. She met Skyheart halfway to the training grounds.**

**„Nah, my little apprentice, are you feeling well?“ he asked.**

**„Yes!“ Cloudpaw meowed excitedly.**

**„Then today you will hunt a mouse.“ Skyheart decided.**

**„Yay!!“ Cloudpaw got even more exited.**

**„But you must be careful where you tread.“ warned her mentor, „ I can get in trouble if you get injured again“.**

**„Okay!“ Cloudpaw promised.**

**Together they made their way to the training grounds when…**

**„CLAN MEETING!“ yowled a faraway voice of Waterstar.**

**Skyheart stopped. „Waterstar wants a Clan meeting. We must go, Cloudpaw!“ he said, nudging his young apprentice.**

**They hurried to High Rock. By then the place was crowded with WaterClan cats. In the middle of them all, proudly groomed and looking up was Milkykit.**

**„What is Milkykit doing here?“ Cloudpaw asked Skyheart as he went to stand behind the leader.**

**„Just watch,“ was Skyheart’s whispered reply.**

**„Milkykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed.“ Waterstar said to Milkykit, „Do you agree to follow your mentor, whatever the task, and protect this Clan at all costs, even the cost of your life?“.**

**„Yes,“ Milkykit bowed her head.**

**„Then until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Milkypaw.“ Waterstar said.**

**Milkypaw bowed again as Waterstar said, „Milkypaw, your mentor will be Icybreath. Meeting is dismissed“.**

**After that, Milkypaw went with her new mentor to train while Crabpaw went with Silverpaw, Skyheart with his apprentice, Cloudpaw, and Stormpaw with the medicine cat Windblaze. Crabpaw learned fighting, Cloudpaw learned hunting, and Milkypaw started learning hunting tactics. Cloudpaw caught a mouse and let Skyheart have it.**

**„Wow.“ he said, „You were so fast!“.**

**„Really? Thanks!“ Cloudpaw groomed her muddy paws.**

**„You recovered so fast too. I think you’ll take over as the Clan’s best hunter from me,“ Skyheart said.**

**Cloudpaw was delighted. She then saw Milkypaw running across the fields. Milkypaw was training how to hunt. At moonrise, after dinner, all the apprentices went to their den. This time Cloudpaw slept well without nightmares. Although she was exited for tomorrow, a new training day, she still slept. At sun-up, morning sunshine dawned on the camp. Slowly the Clan cats woke up. Before leaving his den, Waterstar had a little conversation with the deputy, Skyheart. Then, after a little breakfast, Waterstar yowled, „Clan meeting!!“.**

**All the cats gathered.**

***„I, Waterstar, leader of WaterClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. Cloudpaw has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. StarClan honors your hunting skills, and we welcome you as a full warrior of WaterClan.“***
