Harpystar sighed heavily as she walked out of her den and towards the middle of the clearing in the center of the camp. She was quivering from nose to tailtip, for her son was about to be made a warrior! Her whiskers twitched as well as her ears in nervousness, and she shook her whole body a few times to get the jitters out of her. She was clan leader, and she needed to get herself together before she presented herself to the clan. She padded towards the High-rock and leaped atop it with gentle gracefulness. This ceremony also held a cloud of sadness about it, for her mate, Rockheart was nowhere to be found. She had not seen him for moons, and she desperately missed him. Fadepaw was all she had left of him, and she clung tightly to him. Looking down at the camp below her, she took a deep breath, and her beautifully clear voice rang out, "All those old enough to catch thier own prey assemble beneathe the High-rock for a clan meeting!"

Nancy padded slowly up, Kitsune bouncing around beside her. The kit was older now, and had high hopes of becoming an apprentice. She was aldready 5 moons, and she grinned from ear to ear as she hopped, skipped, and pranced around her mother. Nancy gritted her teeth, feeling unsure. Maybe Harpystar would announce whether she and her daughter could stay? No, she thought miserably, Its hopeless. I have kittypet origins. All my life I've been a kittypet, until a while ago. I'm sure Arcanemind told them everything... She blinked sadly. What would they do? Drive her out? Kidnap her kit, then make her leave? Kill her and Kitsune? Every thought made Nancy more and more tense. She peered down at Kitsune unhappily.
Kitsune was very entergetic, and happy. Maybe she would get to be an apprentice one day! Thats all she was thinking about. Apprentice! She wanted to be an apprentice! She searched the camp, looking for the person she looked up to, to her saviour. Arcanemind. He had saved she and her mother from the rushing river, and took them to BoulderClan. Kitsune had been young then, but she was older now.
(OOC: I timeskipped Kitsune's age..sorry XD)

Armyghost padded out of the warrior's den, sitting down beneath the high-ledge. His head looked around for Lonelyexistence. He didn't see her. He turned back to what was happening now, wondering when the meeting might start. Armyghost looked a little over, seeing Nancy with Kitsune. Armyghost sighed, remembering when he first came in, as a kittypet. He knew how they must feel--or at least Nancy. He though Kitsune was a little young to understand fully how Nancy must be feeling, being a kittypet in a Clan.

Nancy just sighed, watching her kit.
Kitsune looked at Armyghost as he approached. "Hi!" she squeaked.

Armyghost smiled at the kit. If no one would act completely welcome, then he would. "Hi Kitsune." He meowed, smiling. "Is your mother alright?" He asked, glancing at Nancy.

Kitsune sat down, wrapping her tail around her paws. "I dunno," she mewed, "She's always like that. Do you know if I'm gonna be an apprentice soon?" She quickly changed the subject unconsciously.
Nancy sat a ways away, knowing Kitsune would be fine with Armyghost, but made sure not to be too far.

Armyghost chuckled at the kit's eagerness. He never felt it in the Clan, but outside the Clan. "I think you'll be one soon. Maybe another moon or less. Its mainly up to Harpystar, though." Armyghost told Kitsune. "I'm sure you'll make a fine apprentice." Armyghost looked up as he saw Bulletfire approaching.
Bulletfire walked over to Armyghost, his dark eyes looking into Armyghost's green eyes. "Just what I expected you to do--mingle with your own kind." Bulletfire meowed coldy, looking at Armyghost, then at Kitsune, then back. "They'll never make a true warrior or apprentice, and you haven't either. Don't get their hopes up for something that'll never happen." Armyghost drew his lips back. "Go Bulletfire. The last thing they'll want is to speak with you. Now get." Armyghost snarled. Bulletfire snorted, walking away, and sitting down.
Armyghost watched the tom go, and looked back at Kitsune, hoping the kit didn't take Bulletfire's words to heart. "Don't listen to him." He meowed.

Kitsune's expression saddened and her ears pressed down against her skull. "Why do all the cats hate me?" she murmured, "And what did he mean, own kind?" She couldn't recall her days as a kittypet, or much of her journey to BoulderClan, except for the river incident. "Is he telling the truth? Will I never be a true apprentice?"

Armyghost shook his head. "No, he's not telling the truth. Bulletfire just doesn't like cats that aren't pure Clan-born. He doesn't like me either. I was a kittypet, so he mocks me and dislikes me because of it." Armyghost told Kitsune, his voice gentle. "But not all cats hate you. Nobody does." Armyghost glanced at Nancy, hoping she wouldn't go after Bulletfire for his rudeness. "Kitsune, there's one thing I learned, and I think you should know it. It's not our blood or birth-place that say how true a warrior can be. It's by our actions, and that alone can prove a cat's loyalty." He told her.

Nancy padded over. "That tom is terrible," she murmured sadly. She glanced at her kit sorrowfully.
Kitsune heaved a tiny sigh. "I hope you're right," she whispered to Armyghost, then her voice got louder as she talked to her mom, "Hi mom."

Armyghost bent his head to whisper reassuringly to Kitsune, "I promise that you'll make a better warrior than Bulletfire." He looked up to Nancy, giving a friendly smile. "Hello, Nancy. Please, don't mind Bulletfire. He still hasn't gotten used to even me, and I've been here for DreamClan knows how long." Armyghost tried to help make the two feel welcome.

Deadpaw was sitting not far from Armyghost and Kitsune. He had heard the whole conversation and didn't think it was Bulletfire's place to say that. "Armyghost is right, a warrior with that attitude towards a kit isn't a very good one, to his own clanmate too" He said, glancing at Bulletfire.

Armyghost looked at Deadpaw, nodding in approval. He ignored the dark gray tom(Bulletfire), not mentioning him again.
OOC: Writers block is evil....

Harpystar looked at the gathered warriors below her and decided that there was no point in waiting for more. She watched as Bulletfire spoke scathingly at Armyghost and Kitsune and her head tilted. She had an idea. Her voice rang out as she called down, "Warriors of Boulderclan, today we honor a select few of our clan and give them the position that they have rightfully earned. Fadepaw, please step forward."
Fadepaw had been sitting near the back, and he smiled as she padded towards his mother.
"Fadepaw, do you swear to uphold the ways of Starclan and the warrior code?" Harpystar looked down at her son with great pride.
Fadepaw nodded excitedly, "Yes."
"Then I now declare you a full warrior of Boulderclan. From now on, you shall be called Fadepulse." Harpystar beamed at her son, and nodded as he stepped back.
She looked as if she were finished, but the gleam came back into her eye as she called out yet again, "Kitsune and Deadpaw, please step forward."

Armyghost was about to do the ceremonial chant for Fadepulse, but Harpystar called Kitsune and Deadpaw foward. He watched the kit and apprentice. He looked at Harpystar, a curious look in his dark green eyes.
