Blossomkit's Ceremony

[Tilly]

(Few things: One, forgive me if I mess up. There's a reason as to why I perform these OOC. -cough- And two: This takes place before everyone leaves for Korkea Maa, so Blossomkit is Blossompaw where ever the flood is. I think that's it...)

Midnightstar leapt onto the High Rock, looking tired. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the High Rock for a clan meeting!" She called loudly, whisking her tail. After talking with Swallowsong to see how Blossomkit was adjusting to clan life, the ebony leader determined that it would be fine to boot the former kittypet to an apprentice a little earlier, as she still had a lot to learn and would probably need some extra time to learn what other clan cat apprentices knew ahed of time. Swallowsong had agreed, and now here they were.

Midnightstar shook her head slightly as if to dispel her exhaustion. She had been running around like a maniac for the last several days attempting to make sure everything was alright for the evacuation, and had gotten very little sleep. She was considering forcing Twilightsong to take charge once things had settled down and allow her to get some much-needed sleep. She took a deep breath as cats began to trickle out of various dens and gather around.

She decided to wait a few minutes to allow everyone to gather around, as she took a moment to just relax and try to look like her normal composed self. Despite her best efforts, she yawned widely, ivory teeth winking before she shook her head once more, watching her cats quickly gather.

Falcontalon poked his head out of the warriors' den when he heard the summons. He had been changing the moss that was his bed. He trotted out into the clearing, noting how tired Midnightstar was. Sitting down before the Highrock he looked around. Other cats were approaching, but his eyes searched for Dawntear. As he could not locate his mate, Falcontalon turned his attention back to Midnightstar wondering what the Clan meeting was about.

FINALLLLLLLLLY! Blossomkit tore out of the Warriors den before Midnightstar was done calling everyone for the meeting. She'd been told by Swallowsong over lunch that she was going to be made into an Apprentice. Swallowsong hadn't told her who her mentor was, but Blossomkit hadn't really been paying much attention to anything her mom said after that. All she could think about was FREEDOM. Freedom from her mom's side, freedom from the camp, freedom from being watched by EVERYone to make SURE she didn't do anything fun, freedom to finally be, well, FREE!

It had felt like an eternity for the sun to start to set and she'd been doing nothing but fidgetting for the last hour before she heard Midnightstar's call. Dancing around the rock eagerly, she didn't even bother sitting. She was too excited and eager to hurry up and get it over with. Her other source of joy was that her mentor definately wouldn't be Twilightsong. He already had an Apprentice - something that pleased her to no end. She didn't hate Twilightsong, but he just... it was like he enjoyed rubbing her fur the wrong way at times. She overheard some cats saying it was because she was stealing his "biggest pawful as a kit" title, but based on the way they were laughing about it, she wasn't sure if they meant it or were making a joke. At any rate, soon she would be FREE! She pounced on a leaf eagerly and mentally yelled at everyone to hurry up.

Midnightstar watched as most of the cats (Blossomkit

[/i]paw included) filtered in. She stood up to attention, before she began speaking loud enough to be heard all. "Blossomkit, please come forward." She beckoned the anxious kit forward formally, watching as the kit came forward. "You are now a Shoreclan apprentice. From this moment on, until you gain a Warrior name, you shall be known as Blossompaw. I have decided that I shall be your mentor. Congratulations." Midnightstar focused on her new apprentice as she spoke, whisking her tail as she slid down from her perch on the rock and touching noses with the newly-made apprentice briefly before stepping back and allowing other cats to congratulate her.

(Kinda rushed it, but I wanted to get this in. -grin-)[/size][/blockquote]

"Blossompaw! Blossompaw!" Falcontalon meowed happily. He stood up and went over to the excited apprentice. "Congratulations," he said to her, smiling. After the ceremony Falcontalon left the camp and sat down under a tree. He would miss the forest when they moved to Korkea Maa.

Seamist padded forwards, and narrowed her eyes happily. "Blossompaw!" she exclaimed, and bent down to lick the young apprentice's shoulder. "Congratulations," she purred, and sat down regally with her tail wrapped neatly over her silvery-blue paws. Although she had not known Blossomkit personally, she always felt happiest when another young cat entered the mysteries of the way of the warrior.

Swallowsong called her daughter's new name,and her eyes glimmered with amusement for a moment. She had the feeling Blossompaw was so excited because she wouldn't have to listen as much to the others cats when they gave her orders anymore since she was an apprentice now. The tabby she-cat smiled proudly and purred with happiness. She bounded up to the young she-cat and covered her with licks.

Windpaw exited the apprentices' den before the meeting began, about the same time Blossomkit did. She didn't know what this was about, but when she sat next to the kit, she got an idea from how Blossomkit was practically trembling with excitement. Ohh, it's her apprentice ceremony! But, isn't it too early? Still, it was exciting, and Windpaw tuned in closely to what Midnightstar was saying. So now Blossompaw was the leader's apprentice, what an honor! "Blossompaw! Blossompaw!" Windpaw chanted excitedly.

((Oh great, now the dynamic duo of trouble are in the same rank ;D))

((eepies sorry. kinda rushed cause i am sooooooo tired from having stayed up so late the past few nights. lol))

Blossomkit was nearly jumping up and down with excitement as Midnightstar rattled off the ceremony speech before naming her Blossompaw and saying her mentor was...... HER?! Blossompaw froze in place for a moment with her mouth open. The leader was her mentor?! She blinked and wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. She didn't really know Midnightstar so she didn't know if she was boring or fun. Hopefully she was fun. Blossompaw was so already in "GO" gear that if she was strapped to another stick in the mud adult, she thought she'd pull out her fur.

As everyone mobbed her, chanting her name, she became animated again after touching noses with Midnightstar. Happily darting around and in and out of everyone, she nearly ran into Windpaw and grinned hugely. She'd always thought Windpaw was cool and now they were Apprentices! "Lookit, I'm an Apprentice! Now we can explore the woods together and hunt and and everything!" She squeaked happily as she jumped up and down in place.
