Chapter 1 The sun’s rays tore through the holes in the apprentice den walls as Umberkit quietly stirred awake. Umberkit looked to his side at the bedding next to him and saw that Sandkit had not yet awakened. Umberkit sighed. She looks so peaceful while asleep, but that’ll change when she wakes up. Umberkit carefully shook Sagepelt awake. (In a whispered tone,) “Mom, can I get a piece of prey from the freshkill pile?” “Auggg.. Dawn patrol isn’t back yet, but there are some small pieces.” She shrugged. “Go ahead.” Umberkit walked outside to the fresh kill pile and picked a pigeon from the pile. Although it was rather scrawny, it was still quite large for Umberkit. It’s big, I guess I’ll share it with Sandkit. I guess that Leafstar is waiting for more clanmates to wake up. Umberkit dragged the pigeon back to the nursery and shook Sandkit awake. “Pstt Sandkit. Sandkit!” Umberkit spoke in a hushed tone, his jaw still sore from the pigeon. “...what do you want, Umberkit..” she replied groggily. “Can you share this pigeon with me?” ".......fine……” Sandkit sighed. "Why did you need to wake me up anyway?” "What do you mean?! Today is our apprentice ceremony!" Sandkit suddenly perked up and grinned. "Well, why didn't you wake me sooner!” Umberkit rolled his eyes. "Who do you want as your mentor?” Umberkit asked. After thinking for not much longer than a second, she replied, “I want Yellowear! He is so nice and lets his apprentices do whatever!” Umberkit rolled his eyes again. She only thinks about fun and not if she will learn anything. Yellowear is a horrible mentor; his apprentices always have to take the hunting test at least twice! “How about you, Umberkit?” “Oh! I forgot to tell you, I’m going to be a medicine cat!” “Isn’t Sparrowstep really mean?” Umberkit sighed. “Yes, but she does value teaching and making sure her apprentices are well trained.” Now it was Sandkit's turn to roll her eyes. By the time they had finished talking and eating their pigeon, it was sunrise, and the dawn patrol had returned. "Are you nervous about your apprenticeship?” Umberkit asked nervously. "What? No!” Sandkit replied. "I am ready to patrol and explore every corner of our territory!” "Oh, that's cool, I gues-” His sentence was interrupted by the call of Leafstar on the Great Lily. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join us for a special event!” A large crowd formed around the pond as Umberkit and Sandkit scurried out of the nursery.
