A/N:Now this is a little thing I thought up.Hollypaw, Jadepaw, Redpaw, and Cloverpaw are all apprentices that have been training for 1 moon.Things seem pretty peaceful until Jadepaw gets hurt and discovers a new path, Hollypaw finds a new longing to be in a different clan, Cloverpaw discovers a new enemy, but will anyone beleive her, and Redpaw finds a new friend who may be not his friend after all!Will these siblings last through the troubled ways of right now, or will their relationship fall apart like torn threads?
Disclaimer:I own my little invented characters, but thats all.Oh and for your info, the clans have moved to the lake by now.
Torn Threads
"Hollypaw,"called Rowanfeather, Hollypaw's mentor as he walked up to Hollypaw and her siblings."Ready to go hunting, why don't you and Lionfang come along too,"he said addressing Jadepaw.Jadepaw nodded her head and ran off to find her mentor."Lets wait for them."
Redpaw came out of the den stretching his legs.His dark red fur caught the sun's rays making it look like blood."Wassup Hollypaw, Rowanfeather.Going out hunting I see."
"Redpaw why don't you find you mentor?I"m sure Bluefur would love to have you with him, well I don't really see why,"joked Hollypaw aiming a playful swipe at his ear.Redpaw dodged it and the two cats began to playfight.
"Hey you two, knock it off,"comanded Rowanfeather.Hollypaw and Redpaw stopped play fighting and then launched an attack at Rowanfeather. "Ahh!Being attacked by two vicous apprentices!Help me!"
"Tsk on Rowanfeather, can't you hold off these apprentices for a little while?"joked Lionfang as he walked up with Jadepaw.Lionfang was a powerful and loyal warrior, everyone was sure he was to be the next deputy for he had never doubted their leader's, Treestar, judgement once.
"Haha Lionfang.So you ready to get going?"Rowanfeather said as he got up from the ground and shook the dust from his fur.Hollypaw stood beside her mentor while Jadepaw did the same.Redpaw walked off to find Bluefur, his mentor.
"Yep, come on lets go hunt,"Lionfang said and they all ran off to the woods.Jadepaw and Hollypaw fell into step running while their mentors ran beside each other, even their muscles moving in the same way.Many cats suspected that Rowanfeather and Lionfang were brothers, but that wasn't true because they were best friends.The warriors loved to hang out with each other, a strong bond that no one could break.
The group stopped in a cluster of trees.Lionfang looked around while Hollypaw sniffed looking for a scent."Alright Jadepaw, where would we best find a mouse or squirrel?"asked Lionfang testing his apprentice.
Jadepaw thought for a second then answered,"By the nut trees because they will be storing up food for the winter."Lionfang nodded his approvel and they moved to hunt by the nut trees.A leaf moved and Hollypaw shot out and killed the mouse.Rowanfeather smiled as his apprentice buried the catch and they moved on.
A squrriel was resting on the bottom branches of a tree, Lionfang jumped up an enormous leap and caught the squrriel.The animal feel limp in his jaws and Lionfang buried the prey."Well the prey is running plentiful,"said Lionfang.
Rowanfeather nodded,"Well we better not get used to it.Leaf-fall is almost over and leaf-bare always brings trouble, with food and the clans."Lionfang agreed, but Hollypaw and Jadepaw were confused.What did Rowanfeather mean by trouble with clans too?
The group hunted until sun down."We better get back,"Jadepaw said.The others agreed and they gathered their prey and headed back to camp.Hollypaw dropped her share and grabbed a rabbit while Jadepaw grabbed a mouse.They saw Cloverpaw and Redpaw by the den and went over to join them.
"Hey guys.How was hunting?"asked Cloverpaw.
"Excellent.Lionfang made a great leap at the beginning and caught a squrriel.It was aswoeme,"said Jadepaw.Redpaw nodded and he took a great bite from his Robin."So what did you guys do today?"
Cloverpaw answered,"Well, I went training with Berryteeth.She taught me how to attack a badger!It took me a while, but I got the hang of it, with a couple of bruises.But hey, isn't that what the whole warrior life is about it?"
"Cool Cloverpaw.Today Bluefur took me to pratice climbing.I raced all the way up and down, Bluefur was impressed.Man I love climbing, it feels kinda like a bird or something,"Redpaw added in.
"Ok, you just said that and your eating a bird.Redpaw, I've always said your messed up,"joked Hollypaw.The others laughed while Redpaw shot Hollypaw an angry look.
Thorntail walked by them and he said,"Hey you four, you should be getting to sleep.Don't wanna be tired for the gathering tommorow right?"He walked off to take his place as night watch.
"Oh man he's right.Well night guys,"said Hollypaw and they all went in.Treestar had said that they could be coming to the gathering the next night.It would be their first gathering since they had been made apprentices after the last one.
The siblings settled down in the nests and fell asleep counting mouses and whispering goodnight to everyone, even Starclan.
So what didya think?I'm gonna put up allgeinces, don't worry.The reason why I didn't do that first was that everyone always does the allegiences first.I'm doing mine second!Well gotta go now, Superbowl party to go to!Go Giants!
