Becoming Apprentices

Ravenkit: Mom, can we go outside?
Windsong: No dear, it's too cold out.
Ravenkit and Hollykit stared out of the nursery door with wide eyes. Snow was falling and it looked like so much fun to run around in. If only mother would let us outside Ravenkit thought to himself.
Seedstar: Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath willow branch for a clan meeting!
There was a sound of cats' paws sliding on the slippery ground in their rush to get to willow branch.
Seedstar: Ravenkit and Hollykit are 6 moons old and it's time they became apprentices.
Hollykit: Yay!" my sister ran out of the nursery before mother could stop her.
Windsong: Hollykit get back here! Ravenkit, stay here well I fetch your sister.
Ravenkit watched in amusement as his mother skidded after Hollykit. She slide all the way to the willow branch where Hollykit was obediently waiting for Seedstar to make her an apprentice.
Windstar: I'm sorry Seedstar. Hollykit is just really excited.
Seedstar: That's alright. Ravenkit, will you come up here by your sister?
Ravenkit strode up to the front and sat down by his sister.
Seedstar: Windstar, if you'll take a seat with the others then we could get on with the meeting.
Windsong: Sorry" and she sat down next to Cinderfur, looking a little bit embarrassed.
Seedstar: Hollykit, from this day forward you'll be know as Hollypaw. Applefur, you are a very loyal and brave warrior, I hope you'll be able to pass that on to Hollypaw. Ravenkit, you'll be known as Ravenpaw and your mentor will be Goldenpetal." Hollypaw touched noses with Applefur and Ravenpaw touched noses with Goldenpetal. And then the meeting was over.
