Scourge's daughter Chp 5

I have been with ThunderClan for a whole moon now, and my fate is still undecided. But if I could join this Clan, I would. I have hunted and patrolled with the Clan, and I have made friends with  Brightheart and Cinerpelt, and Cinderpelt seems sure that Firestar will let me join the Clan.

Yawning, I rose from my nest, and padded to the foot of the Highrock for the Clan meeting. “Cats of ThunderClan,” Firestar was meowing. “Cinderpelt has received StarClan’s approval of letting Rain join our Clan. He leaped down from the Highrock. “I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this loner. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn.” He spoke to me. “Rain, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?”

“I do,” I meowed confidently. So that’s why Cinderpelt was so certain! She received a sign from StarClan!
  “Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name: Rain, from this moment you will be known as Raincloud. StarClan honors your courage and skill, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan.”
Firestar rested his muzzle on my head. I licked my leader’s shoulder, then retreated into the crowd of warriors. “Raincloud! Raincloud!” they were yowling. How different this place was from BloodClan.

“In the tradition of our ancestors,” Firestar raised his voice to be heard. “Raincloud will sit in silent vigil until dawn, guarding the camp alone while we sleep.”

Finally! I was accepted into the Clan! Brightheart pressed her pelt against mine, and Cinderpelt yowled my name loudly. Graystripe was cheering with equal enthusiasm. This surprised me, as he has never shown much interest in me before. Shrugging this question away, I bathed in my Clanmate’s encouragement, and I knew that I finally found where my loyalties lay.
