Nightpaw was so excited! She had longed for the moment to become an apprentice ever since her eyes first opened. Now it was finally happening! Nightpaw purred, with out realizing she was. "I do!" She mewed, her voice full of excitement.

(ty, that's a much better size.) Ripplestream watched as Nightpaw became an apprentice. She looked so excited to become an apprentice, and later, a warrior.

"I do!" Her first apprentice! Willowleaf blurted out the words as fast as she could. Oh, she couldn't wait to show Nightpaw everything in and above the forest!

Otterstar gave a respectful nod.
"I have no doubt your words are true, Teach her well." Otterstar flicked her tail against the tree, Dreaded the later words. "We also have another apprentice to be made today, Curlkit step forward."
Curlkit puffed out his chest to try and look less upset, it didn't do any good.
This is horrible, I can't do anything, I'm going to be a horrible apprentice
"Becoming an apprentice is key to clan growth, I see your hesitant Curlpaw.Don't be so scared, We have needed a rock pusher for moons"
And we could of sure used one a few days ago..
"I know for a fact brooktail will show you your true skills, Hidden or not they will come in due time." Otterstar beckend the warrior and new apprentice to the front of the roots "Do you, Curlpaw, Take up the warrior code with your paws and hold it high?, And do you, Brooktail, Show this apprentice the path Starclan has made for him to go and assist him in the right mind of it?"
"I do" Both the warrior and young apprentice mewed at exact time, Casting each other a humorous smile because of it.
Maybe this won't be so bad
"Good, May Starclan light your path my clan, I'm deeply proud of you" Otterstar mewed with profound in her tone.She turned, placing her paws along the tree and trecked up to one of the highest branches.
"To Curlpaw and Nightpaw, The new Apprentices of LotusClan!" She yowled throughout the camp.

Willowleaf watched the crowd of cats dissipate. She turned to Nightpaw, "Well, since today's your first day as an apprentice, how about I show you around LotusClan's territory?" Willowleaf began to pad towards the camp entrance. "This is the entrance tunnel. Obviously, it's how we get in and out of camp. But there are dangers even before you get into our territory itself. The top of the tunnel is unstable, so you have to be careful, or the rocks might fall on you."

Nightpaw followed Willowleaf, excited to learn more about the camp, since she had been stuck in the nursery for six moons.

(The meetings not over ) Atop the branch Otterstar curled her tail over her paws and waited for talk to die down.When it did she once again took up the meeting. "Nightpaw, Willowleaf, Stay until the end.I understand your interest in starting your training but I have much more to say" She mewed softly but loudly with a hint of anger, Quickly regretted. "Ahem, Excuse that." Shaking herself Otterstar went on "As you all know, Yesterday, Our beloved deputy Stonetail, died in a rockfall" Her eyes clouded with grief, She took a moment to regain her cracking voice. You were my best friend Stonetail, If we just lived a little longer, and I wasn't a leader..
"Starclan rest his soul and let his spirit run freely in the skies" Otterstar's upset tone clearly shook but she did not make any attempt to hide it. "As you know the code, Before Sun-down I must choose the new Lotusclan deputy, I will take the time to make a proper choose, one you nor I will regret"She let her soft gaze sweep over the cats, Hoping she still seemed strong for them. "To carry on his wish, I want two patrols today, one to go and investigate the Abandon Twoleg den and make sure there are still stocks of herbs.Willowleaf and Nightpaw I want you to do this for your first time out as Apprentice and mentor"
"Brooktail, Duskpaw and Curlpaw, I want you to go to the Forest and hunt, and, If you can explore.I have heard there are eagles circling around and I want to pinpoint where their nest is in case they become a problem" Otterstar raised her head "Now go my clan, I wish you luck and be safe out there"And with that Otterstar jumped from the tree and padded towards her den, Clearly upset of her deputy loss. (Btw Duskpaw is my apprentice since were out of warriors)

(Lol, oops. xD) "My first job! And on my first day as an apprentice, too! Let's go, Willowpelt!" Nightpaw mewed with lots of enthusiasm in her voice. She raced off into the forest. She then realized her mentor wasn't coming yet, so she sat and waited.

Shaken from her memories of becoming a medicine cat apprentice, Ripplestream mewed "Is there anything I can do, Otterstar? I don't have an apprentice, and no one seems in need of my herbs at the moment."

(Ooh, cool! I get to be the leader's apprentice!)
Duskpaw bounced up and down excitedly. Exploring would be fun! "Come on, let's go!" she meowed.

Otterstar sighed, Moving slower up the steep hill to her den "You could help me decide who the next deputy for the clan will be" She heaved another loud sad sigh "Stonetail shouldn't have died to early, I don't have enough experienced warriors to be deputy for this clan should something happen"
~~~~
Brooktail laughed "Ready already?! Lets go then!" She lowered her head in a whisper "I get to take the leaders apprentice out"
Curlpaw stared at the ground, walking with the cats, Untalking and not making any movement to.
"Why so quiet?" Asked Brooktail, Talken aback by the silence, Hoping to start something she added
"You will have to dash up here, The rocks above the cave are very unstable, A few cats have died not doing that" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bramblenose sighed softly, heaving on her back.She had just woken up and seemed to have missed the entire clan meeting, wishing she'd known

Nightpaww was still waiting for Willowleaf to catch up. She was starting to get a little impatient. She was bored of just sitting, so she just started to give herself a bath.

(Sorry.) Willowleaf dashed towards Nightpaw. Spotting her dark pelt, Willowleaf skidded to a halt. "Nightpaw, you shouldn't run off like that! I know you're excited for your first mission, but you could get badly injured, especially because you don't know the territory. Remember what I said just about the entrance tunnel?" She let out a sigh of relief. "Let's go, then. The Abandoned Twoleg Den is this way," she said and padded off.

(Oh sorry, didn't see that ) "What about Willowleaf? or Brooktail? Both are good warriors." (Hey willow, Can willowleaf and brooktail be sisters? Since they are the same age I have an idea for them) "They are, They are... It's that.. They've only just gotten apprentices, They don't have the experience." Otterstar finally hit her den and completely fell into her nest, Flicking her tail for Ripplestream to sit next to her "Brooktail and Willowleaf are to young and naive, Brooktail is too headstrong and always waits to get into a scramble, Willowleaf doesn't show the any signs of a deputy and gets to overdone at certain things that must be taken seriously"
Otterstar openly weept. "I miss Stonetail so much, He was the best deputy anycat could hope for, I can't lead this clan without one, Starclan knows it's not ready..Oh Ripplestream, What am I going to do?" She asked, eyes heavy.

"Okay!" Duskpaw meowed. She squared herself a few fox-lengths from the entrance, readied herself, and pelted through as fast as she could.
