Rosepaw's POV
I sat sharing tounges with my brother, Toadpaw. I was apprentice to Berrynose, one of the best warriors in our camp and my half-brother. I watched the elders telling each other stories. I laughed at how they reminisced on the old days. The modern times were so much better. I thought of Tigerclaw and I shivered. I saw Tigerpaw out of the corner of my eye. He was the spitting image of his uncle but I had a feeling he was going to be like his grandfather.
"Are you done yet, Rosepaw?" Toadpaw complained.
"Yes. Sorry." I replied.
I saw Ferncloud approach me.
"I think that you and Briarpaw have to go on patrol." Ferncloud meowed.
I nodded and I went to find Briarpaw. She was apprentice to Hazeltail, my half-sister. Toadpaw followed me. He was apprentice to Mousewhisker, our half-brother.
"Ready to go, Berrynose!" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
Berrynose and I looked identical. I looked over my shoulder to see Mousewhisker frowning at Toadpaw. I smiled to myself.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Briarpaw. Hazeltail laughed and we sprinted off.
I saw sent to patrol the Riverclan border. Briarpaw was sent to the Shadowclan boundary with Hazeltail. Berrynose was patrolling the Windclan boundary.
I looked at the river. Several fish swam about, chasing each other. I smelt something. It smelt like a Riverclan. I turned to see a small tom with black fur and blue eyes getting ready to pounce on a fish. I hissed at him.
"Ahh!" The tom said before falling in the river.
The tom was spluttering and waving his paws around wildly. I ran down river.
"Grab onto the twig." I shouted, gesturing to a branch growing out of the side of the river.
The black tom continued to float downstream. He eventually caught hold of the branch. He shook his coat.
"Thank you." The black tom mumbled. "I'm Blackpaw."
"I'm Rosepaw. There was a Rose before me. She was called Rosetail but she died mysteriously. Aren't you part Thunderclan?" I asked.
Blackpaw shook his head,, dazzling me with his bright blue eyes.
"You're Bluestar's grandson, aren't you?" I gasped. He smiled.
"That's me. Aren't you half kittypet?" He looked at me. What a great coat…
"Yes. My half siblings are completely kitty pet. I'm Dustpelt's granddaughter."
"Oh, yes. The family of idiots." He sneered.
"I wish I hadn't saved you. But your mother is nice so I did her a favour." I smirked at him and his eyes narrowed, his tail flicking with annoyance.
" At least I know who my father is."
Blackpaw looked hurt. "I'm sorry for being cruel, I can be a total Tigerclaw at times. You're the little apprentice that Firestar is impressed by. How's Flamepaw and Icepaw? I saw them at The Gathering. How do you know Mistyfoot?" He asked.
"Flamepaw and Icepaw are fine. I knew Mistyfoot since I was a kit. She was at my birth. She gave me a bluestar." I pointed to the gem that always rest on top of my head. "It's a love charm." I smelt Berrynose.
He must have smelt it too because he ran off somewhere.
I smiled at my older brother. He frowned down at me.
"Do I smell Riverclan on you?"
Ha Ha! I'm evil. Review, my pretties!!
