Birchtail's Secret - Chapter 11

Rivera nodding looking around at her choices, for a helper as she called it. She wanted a helper that wasn't still in training or that was a kit under their mothers care. She didn't want a help that had an apprentice or a helper that was in the medicine den. She wanted a younger experienced warrior that could help her learn the ways of clan, but she wanted a cat that didn't try to mentor her in any way. She wanted a cat that she could count on as more of a friend then a teacher. "Thistlestar is it all right if I spend a day with a few of the cats that I could choose before I choose?" Thistlestar nodded. "Which cats would you maybe pick?" Rivera looked around before speaking, "I would like to try spending a day with Sunflower, Mountainmist, Mousepelt and Mossfur." Thistlestar nodded. Soon Rivera had tested all of the 4 candidates and she came up with her decision. Sunflower was to orderly probably because she was deputy. Mountainmist was very strict probably keeping up the same teaching methods that she had with  Birchtail as Birchtail was sometimes very uncooperative. Mousepelt or Mossfur were good options but she had to choose the one cat that she knew that she could always rely on. She asked Thistlestar if she could began the next day. "That cat? She may be young but she will help you along through the ways of the clan. Of course you can start tomorrow if you need anything don't hesitate to ask anyone from the clan." Rivera nodded and padded away to find the cat she chose.
