emberheart kept remembering the kits scared voices as they told her of Mystery.

   "FOXES!!!" The foxes came four moonrises too late of the kits dreams. emberheart leaped on a stupid red furball, and slashed its ear open. she stared on as it retreated into the forest. she helped the rest of thunderclan with the foxes, and rushed back to the nursery. the kits were still okay.

  "...it is time for burntkit, rubykit and twinklekit to receive their apperntice names! honeyfoot, are you ready to take on your first apprentice?" "i am." "then you shall be burntpaws mentor." they paused to touch noses. "inkspot, you have not been a member of thunderclan for very long, but thunderclan trusts you with your first apprentice; rubypaw." the small orange tom stared with excitement at his new mentor. "and emberheart, you are ready to take on your first apprentice; twinklepaw." emberheart beamed at bluestar. she walked over to twinklepaw, and touched noses.

  "honeyfoot! emberheart called out. "would you like to take burntpaw out with twinklepaw and i?" "sure! i will go and get inkspot, too!" "great! he will be glad to have the company!"
