Valleypaw's jaw dropped slightly in surprise as Buckstar assigned her as his apprentice, he had chosen her from among the many ThunderClan apprentices. A wave of excitement hit her like a bullet, almost convincing the she-cat to run over to the leader like a hyper, little kid. However, she managed to squash the excitement down deep and refrain from doing so, giving the leader what she meant to be a stoic nod instead, but really couldn't help her expression from being very much not stoic.
But, she hadn't been the only one chosen - her gaze shifted from Buckstar to Applepaw as she ran forward eagarly from near the medicine cat's den. Ah yes, the one that had gotten injured quite badly during the battle with the coyotes. It was a shame really, Applepaw had been such a pretty she-cat. She shook the memory of that bloody day away, feeling a tad sick at remembering the images she had seen.
