Chapter 3

Mother nods and I slink back between her legs then Firestar asks "who's her father?" Mother looks around and says "I would rather not say" Firestar looks at her suspiciously but nods and says "Well I trust you will come around or that at least Erbkit knows." "Of course I know who my father is!" I say angrily Firestars gaze becomes wary and suddenly I relize he looks, scared? Then he says to mother "Hollyleaf come with me Erbkit will be fine by herself for a second" Mother looks at me I nod and so she goes away but as soon as she goes away Ivypool walks up to me as I have finally remembered her name and were I saw her I hiss at her and she looks down at me and says "you wander a lot don't you, maybe I will have to ask Hawkfrost if I can have you as my apprentice although I don't think a kit like you should be in the darkforest" she is talking to me in a very low whisper so that other cats can't hear. I then say angrily "I am six moons old thank you very much!" And storm off a few minutes later mother comes out of firestars den with an angry expression and firestar along with a she-cat that has a sandy pelt with annoyed expressions also come out then Firestar yowls "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!" So we walk over mother gives me a smile and whispers in my ear "it's your ceremony!" I smile and feel an excited energy run through me. Then Firestar continues "Today erbkit will become a medicine cat apprentice if starclan welcomes her, and she will now be known as Erbpaw, thats it" nobody cheers just an awkward silence and I hear murmuring "he didn't say who her mentor is" "I guess he just wants them to share her" then out from the crowd emerges leafpool and Jayfeather both of which I knew from Starclan. And Jayfeather gasps as he looks at me, oh right I forgot Jayfeather can see me and only me in real life since he can see starclan cats.
