Chapter 6:

Rainpaw woke with the fear feeling still ringing in his mind.. Eaglefang had been exiled a while ago. He had stayed in the Medicine cat's den that night. Mouseheart's fur was bristling in her sleep.. She was getting to old to mentor Briarpaw, but since Meadowheart had retired very early due to a falling tree crushing one of her front and one of her back paws, making her unable to walk, Mouseheart had to take over again until Briarpaw was fully ready to earn her name. When Rainpaw opened his other eye to look around the den, he noticed Mouseheart walking out of the den, Briarpaw opened her mouth with an excited look. Briarpaw nodded and went back inside and packed up some of the herbs, storing them back into the small cave behind the den where they kept the herbs. Before he could ask what was going on, Briarpaw had noticed him and exclaimed her exciting news. "I'm going to get my full name!" Briarpaw squealed with delight, but then with an embarrassed tone, turned her head to face the face of the cave. Rainpaw would totally laugh at the look, but just smiled, not feeling in the mood to laugh after his discovery of Eaglefang. "Congrats, but don't forget, you won't have any help after Mouseheart retires." Rainpaw simply said, a little amusement mixed in his voice. Briarpaw gave him a look, but mainly because she was still embarrassed. Mouseheart gave up trying to calm Briarpaw from being embarrassed, and walked out, leaving Briarpaw in the den with Rainpaw. "Your not going to visit anymore than?" Briarpaw's voice sounded disappointed, even though she tried to hide it. Rainpaw smiled amused at the question. "Guess not. But I can some times help you if you want, I have been raised in this den almost my whole life." Briarpaw's face was much happier when he said he'd help her if she wanted him to. "Is that a promise than?" She smirked. "I guess it is." Right as Rainpaw said that, Ravenheart burst in excitedly. "Rainpaw!! Reedstar says it's time to become a warrior!" Rainpaw jumped up at that comment. Briarpaw stared at Ravenheart, but turned to Rainpaw after. "I'll watch also, go on ahead." Briarpaw said, disappointed that their conversation was interrupted.
