Snowshoe smiled. 'Yes, she will announce it in front of the whole clan. Don't worry, I was even more nervous than you could ever be, trust me.' She licked Lillykit again, memories rolling back to when she had came here as a loner and thought she wouldn't be accepted by anyone.

"If you say so", meowed Lillykit. "I hate crowds." She continued to sort through the herbs, thinking of the life ahead of her. [I'll bring Spotted in, then we'll get the official stuff sorted] The kit was so intent on the herbs that it took her a couple of heartbeats to realize that there was a new scent in the den. Turning around, she saw Spottedstar padding over to her. The kit dipped her head respectfully. - - - Spottedstar squeezed through the entrance, her eyes immediately picking out Lillykit's white pelt. "Lillykit", the leader meowed, padding over to the little cat's side. "I was hoping to find you here. I want to ask you something."

Snowshoe turned to meet Spottedstar with a respectful nod and smile. She looked at Lillykit and then back at Spottedstar curiously, wondering what she was going to ask Lillykit.

"Lillykit", began Spottedstar. "You've been in this den half your life. This past moon I've been wondering if you wish to continue the rest f your life here, as Snowshoe's apprentice." The leader turned to Snowshoe. "Or has she already asked you?" Spottedstar meowed to the medicine cat. - - - - Lillykit simply stared at her paws again. Come to think of it, she wasn't surprised that Spottedstar had asked her if she wanted to remain with Snowshoe. She'd been in and out of the medicine cat's den ever since her mother had died when she was less than two moons old.

Snowshoe smiled as she answered. 'She just asked me.' She looked at Lillykit and then back at Spottedstar. 'I think she would be a good medicine cat someday.' she meowed.

Spottedstar nodded. "So do I", she meowed, smiling encouragingly at Lillykit. "I'll hold your ceremony later in the moon", she told the kit.
Lillykit felt a wave of excitement rush through her body. She was going to become a medicine cat!! Her thoughts wondering from gathering herbs to the half-moon meetings a moonstone. What would she discover there? A shiver ran through the kit. As if she was reading her mind, Spottedstar gave Lillykit a quick lick on her shoulder. "You're a natural with herbs, but prophecies are new to you. Yet I know you'll be fine, and Starclan will approve."
Spottedstar dipped her head to Snowshoe and slipped out of the den.

Snowshoe nodded back respectfully to Spottedstar before turning to Lillykit. 'Well, that's settled then.' she smiled gently at the kit. Turning back to the herbs she started putting some on their shelves. She sighed as she realized that she had forgotten to get some Feverfew. Oh well, I'll get some later. she decided. She was glad that there wasn't sickness in the camp, she was glad that she didn't really need the Feverfew right away.

Lillykit put her thoughts back on the herbs, gathering together a bundle of watermint. She grasped it in her jaws and trotted other to the corner where it was stored. Dropping the mint of the ledge, she noticed a tinted brown stalk among to rest. Lillykit picked up the small plant and padded over the edge of the den. "Be right back", she called to Snowshoe. "Just gotta get rid of this." Her pelt brushed across the leaves in the entrance and within a heartbeat she was gone, never to be seen again [just joking ;D]

Snowshoe smiled as Lillykit slipped out of the den. Spottedstar is definately right, she's a natural with herbs. She was glad to have an apprentice at last. The clan would be safe after Snowshoe was gone, and that pleased her. She couldn't wait to bring Lillykit to moonstone, she had been slightly envious of the medicine cat that had an apprentice. She had been wanting an apprentice ever since she could remember, not just to help out and so that the clan would be safe, but she liked to have company.

But as Lillykit bounded out of camp, she fell of a very high cliff, dieing on impact. All of Snowshoe's hopes were perished [ok, ok. I'll do it properly now. Promise.] - - - - Lillykit trotted back into the den, immediately getting back to work. As she separated marigold from coltsfoot, her thoughts wondered back to moonstone. "When will I meet to other medicine cat apprentices?" she asked her mentor-to-be, growing exited. She was looking forward to socializing with other cats of her age that shared the same interests. [By the way, starting the ceremony now. Can't be stuffed waiting ]

Snowshoe thought for a moment. 'Well, probably at the next medicine cat meeting.' She nodded to herself. Yes, that's when we'll see them.' She smiled down at the kit. 'Why, are you excited?' She remembered how nervous she had been to meet them for the first time. She had been afraid that they might know her origins, and therefore despise her. She was glad that Lillykit wouldn't have to taste those fears, she was clan born. Snowshoe sighed, what she wouldn't give to have been clan born, then none of her unpleasant past would have happened.

"Yes", Lillykit admitted. "All the other kits in the nursey wanted to be normal apprentices and were always having play fights and and talking about being a warrior. I want to make friends with other cats that share the same interests as me." The kit thought about this as she worked with the herbs. She felt bubbles of energy tossing around inside her, making her eager to race all the way to Mothermouth.
