Awaiting Acceptance [Morningmist]

[Deleted]

I can't believe it! Finally I'll be able to follow my kit-hood dreams! The six moon old kit sprinted across the field toward a distant black shadow on a rock face, her small muscles rippling underneath her golden striped fur. This was probably the fastest the young cat has ever run, her dainty paws dancing, barely audible, over the earth's rough surface. Pure excitement gave power to her limbs. The moon's light put a silver sheen on everything. The she-cat kept her sparkling eyes as open as possible as she ran, taking in the beautiful landscape before her. Everything seemed so new to her, being her first time out of the camp.

Sunpaw slowed as her paws landed on the hard rock surface. The shadow on the rock didn't get any lighter as she stepped closer. Her eyes widened. How are we going to find the Moonstone if the tunnel is so dark? I knew it was going to be dark, but I didn't think it would be like this... The nervous kit sat and waited for Morningmist to arrive. She suddenly felt stupid for running off like a naive kit who had no self control. I wasn't even in ThunderClan's Territory for StarClan's sake, I could have gotten in a lot of trouble! Morningmist will probably be mad, she thought pathetically.

Sunpaw sighed, excited yet afraid, as she groomed her ruffled fur, numerous questions in her mind waited to be answered. Will StarClan accept me? Will I be a good learner? Will I be able to remember everything I need to know? What if I'm not as good as Morningmist? She closed her eyes, trying to gain a calm composure, not wanting to look like a jittery fool.

Morningmist followed the overwhelmed apprentice slowly, her paws slowly skimming the ground. Her energy was draining fast, and she had no clue why. SHe wasn't sick, or so she thought. SHe finally got to the tunnel and looked at the golden she-cat, her eyes droopy. "Follow me" she murmured, dragging her worn out body down the rocky tunnel.

Morningmist got to the Moonstone, the narrow tunnel emerging into a cavern. The moonlight was beginning to shine over the hole. "I, Morningmist, Medicine Cat of ThunderClan, ask my ancestors to look down on this apprentice, she is willing to learn the ways of healing and saving her clan mates, and I present her to you as an apprentice" her soft but cracked voice bounced off the walls.

"Sunpaw, come forward and share dreams with StarClan" Morningmist said, dipping her head and allowing her apprentice to come forth.

Sunpaw's excitement dimmed slightly when she saw how worn out Morningmist seemed. I hope she's ok... she thought worriedly. It took her by surprise when she just started into the tunnel without hesitation. It's pitch black, how does she know where to go? she wondered. The apprentice quickly rose to her feet and followed her mentor. Her soft blue eyes searched crazily for anything to set themselves upon, but failed. Not being able to see anything made Sunpaw's heartbeat quicken slightly. She just hoped that she didn't take a wrong turn or bump into anything.

Although she was nervous now, she felt like she'd be able to get used to it, like Morningmist obviously was. The young she-cat let out a sigh of awe and relief as they emerged into a large cave with a magnificent stone in the center, lit by moonlight. Both her and Morningmist's pelts shone beautifully silver in the enhanced moonlight. Her eyes sparkled with happiness as she was presented to StarClan. Sunpaw's heart was beating so fast as she stepped closer to the Moonstone that she was afraid of Morningmist hearing it. But that was the least of her worries.

Stiffly, with an unsure glance at her mentor, she crouched down and touched her nose to the Moonstone. A small chill ran through her body and her eyes sprang open. She wasn't in the cave anymore. She was in was a beautiful clearing where everything seemed to be made of stars: The grass, the ferns, the water, the trees, everything...

- Who should be the cat to visit her from StarClan and who is going to RP it?

[xXMorningmistXx]

Morningmist watched her apprentice's confusion as they entered the tunnel. Her past experiences leading her paws, she guieded them to the Moonstone. Sunpaw put her nose ot the stone and began dreaming. Morningmist sat and waited patiently, her head spinning. A sudden wave of nausia hit and she vomited, making sure to go ot a corner. "Ick" she said, trying to rid her mouth of the disgusting taste. She sat down and returned to being quiet, carefully likcing her paws clean and thinking of what she should name Sunpaw as a full medicine cat. Sunshine, Sunfur, Sunstorm, Sunpelt, Sunray, but nothing sounded right. Morningmist sat and thought of ehr own first dream.

Morningmist thought of Silverlight, the old cranky tom. Her first moons with him were unpleasent, but she learned to work with him. It was simple once you knew how to do it. "Bring us some freshkill" he would gripe every now and then. By "us" he meant "me". Morningmist purred as the memories left sighs in the dust on the sands of time.

--A StarClan cat comes and accepts her as a medicine cat apprentice--

Sunpaw's soft blue eyes opened slowly; she was back in the Moonstone cave. The smell of vomit lingered in the air, not old, but not exactly fresh. She new apprentice rose to her feet slowly, her limbs stiff from laying on the hard earth. Her golden head turned to find Morningmist sitting, seemingly lost in thought.

Realizing that there was no vomit smell when they first entered the cave, Sunpaw came to a conclusion that that her mentor was probably sick. With what, she didn't know, but that would explain her droopy behavior. "Morningmist?" Sunpaw mewed softly, "what do we do now?" The young apprentice wasn't really sure how she was feeling; so many emotions were dancing through her. She wondered what Morningmist's first dream was like, but knew not to ask something like that.

- sorry it's short, I'm too brain-dead to think of a lot of stuff right now.

[xXMorningmistXx]

Morningmist snapped back into reality, looking at her apprentice. "Um, we go back to camp" she said, her eyes trying to close on her. She shook her head and stood up, her legs wobbling like mouse tails. Morningmist lead her apprentice back to the tunnel, trying to stay awake. She ran into a wall, her nose starting to bleed. "Oh my" she said, crossing her eyes to look at it. She sighed and wallked back to the surface, setting down and swiping a her nose, cursing.

Morningmist was heading back into camp when a black wave rose over her eyes, causing her to fall unconcious. She saw the dark sky and the treetops, and then black.

OCC: Its fine..Morningmist is exhausted!

"Ok..." The light ginger tabby looked worriedly at Morningmist, "do you need help?" She offered as her mentor stood and walked off unsteadily. Sunpaw followed closely, not yet accustomed to traveling through the tunnel. She accidentally walked into Morningmist when she banged into the wall. "Oops, sorry," She meowed nervously when she smelled a little blood. The young apprentice looked sadly at the bloody nose of her mentor when they were out in the open. She was glad that she could actually see her surroundings again.

They were almost to the thunderClan border again when Morningmist collapsed. Sunpaw's soft blue eyes became wide with shock and worry. "Morningmist!" she yowled as she went immediately to her mentor's side. Her mind was swirling, and she realized that panicking wasn't going to help. "Calm down," she whispered to herself, than looked, a little more calmly, over her mentor. Well, she's still breathing... Sunpaw really had no idea what to do; should she run back to camp? Or run to WindClan and hope their medicine cat is willing to help? The she-cat looked down and tried pushing on Morningmist's shoulder, wishing she'd open her eyes. Sunpaw was starting to panic again. What should I do!? She felt so helpless...

[xXMorningmistXx]

Morningmist saw stars, and then she slowly blinked her eyes open. They were in WindClan territory, and the truce for them to pass safely was over. She gasped, and tried to stand up, seeing Sunpaw looking extremely worried. Her legs were shaky, and her head swirled. She was so tired..and all that was on her mind was sleeping in her feather and moss nest..and hearing the chirp of a distant bird.

She shook her head and realized that she had almost fainted again. Morningmist blinked and then looked at Sunpaw. "I'm fine, I'm just tired..promise" she said, yawning. "Your gonna be a great medicine cat" she said, smiling. Morningmist continued walking and suprisingly made it past the ThunderClan border, her paws aching. "Now I can't smell anything, my nose is covered in blood" she laughed, blinking.
