I woke, the feeling of fur gone. I pushed myself out of the nest and padded out of the medicane den.

Next to the nursery was my mother and my litter-mates. My mother was grooming them. I ran over as fast as my little legs could go. "Momma, can I be groomed to?" I asked polietly. She looked at me, hatred burning in her eyes. She growled a no.

"Let all cats old enough to jump a boulder gather round." Rainstar called from the great boulder. My litter-mates squealed with excitement and ran forward.

"We have new apprentices today." My leader called. I ran forward next to my siblings. "Flowerkit, Firekit, please step forward." She announced. Mympaws itched with excitement, I didn't want to be a warrior, I wanted to be a medicane cat. I looked at Greymuzzle, he knew I wanted to be a medicane cat. Rainstar went on with my litter-mates ceremony.
After naming the new apprentices she dismissed the meeting. I stood astonished, I was suppost to be a apprentice right now.

Rainstar padded up to me. "Your mother requested you stay a kit for another moon. I agreed because she said it was best for you. So off to the nursery." Rainstar spoke with a challenging hint in her stern voice.

I walked blindly to the nursery. My mother wasn't even there, she was in the warriors den. She was happy to be away from me.

I layed in the nest, my old nest. I was young but not to young to know what I wanted to do. I layed my head on my paws and closed my eyes. The picture of death berries flashed through my eyes.

Thats what I will do, get rid of them that way. Well at least one of them.

I fell asleep that night, my mind buzzing with ideas. Any cat who mistreated me would be forgotten, like last newleafs frost.

~1 moon later~
"Icepaw you wish to be a medicane cat correct?" Rainstar asked from the boulder. My claws itched to slice them across her throat, she agreed to make me be a kit longer. I nodded my head.

The ceremony was done fairly quickly, no cat called out my new name other than Greymuzzle.

Night was falling and Greymuzzle grew tired after training me that day. He crawled into his nest and gestured for me to get in mine.

I pretended to be asleep. I heard his snores behind me and I knew it was my time to strike.

I climbed silently out of my nest. I headed ttowards the stock of berries. I tried to remember the look as smell of my priceless jewel. I grabbed them in my paws.

I stuffed them in a mouse and walked over to my litter-mates who were talking back and forth like birds. Outside of the medicane den at night the camp was busy. I walked over to Firepaw. "Umm Firepaw, I have a peace offering." I said handing him the mouse. He grabbed it and snorted with disgust. I heard bute into and start gagging. I smiled as I walked away.
