Bumblepaw! Leafpaw! Riverpaw! Hawkpaw!
As they touched noses with their new mentors, Bumblepaw wrigled in excitement. She was finally an apprentice! She could tell her Brothers and sister were excited, too.
"What are we going to do today?" Bumblepaw meowed to Blacknight.
"Today we will explore the territory" Yes! Leafpaw was coming too, Hawkpaw was going to the training hollow, and Riverpaw was going to go learn about Herbs and stuff. He is now the Medicine cat apprentice, but Bumblepaw knew he would be a good one. As she listened to Blacknight ramble on about the Hawkclan boundries, and the stream. She was already thinking about becoming a warrior.
Finally, they got back to camp, and Bumblepaw was tired. So, she went to the apprenitce's den to sleep, finding an empty nest beside Hawkpaw, who was already asleep. He was mewing in his sleep, and Bumblepaw knew he was probably having a dream. Then she sat down next to him, and groomed his fur. Untill her eyelids drooped, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Bumblepaw was in a lush forest, and the smell of plump prey wafted on the breeze.
"Hello?" she mewed, starting to panick.
"Hawkpaw? Leafpaw? Anyone?" Then a large figure stepped out from a nearby bush.
"Hello young one. We are at the forests of Starclan." the shape said.
"Wait... I'm d-d-dead!" On no! She didn't even know what happened!
"No, no, it isn't your time for starclan yet, I am Sunflame, here to guide you. Follow me" she whisked away into the heavy undergrowth. Then Bumblepaw followed her on some invisible path, winding through trees and brambles. Suddenly they came to a clearing, and.... and.... Hawkpaw, Leafpaw, and Riverpaw were there too!
"H-how-" she stammered.
"I have brought you here, to tell you your destiny" meowed a cat that was in the center of the clearing, looking down into a small, shimmering pool.
"'What destiny? What's so special about all us?" called Riverpaw, looking anxouisly at the other cats.
"In the dusk of a new night, the hawk will soar over the leaves on the trees, the river flows swiftly, and they will all listen to the song of the bumblebee's wings"
And at that, Bumblepaw woke up, at the same time as Hawkpaw and Leafpaw, who were also grooming moss out of their pelts.
