Chapter 1: Lizardpaw of Shadowclan

The grass made not a single noise under Lizardpaw's paws. She loved the smell of the fresh mouse. It was soon to be in her mouth though. She stalked closer then hesitated for one second then pounced on her prey. She trotted back to the clan camp. Rockstar almost ran into her as she entered the Shadowclan camp. "I see you've caught more prey." Rockstar said proudly to his daughter. "Yes, i have." Lizardpaw tried to say over the mouse. Rockstar nodded then walked out with Quietfoot and Thrushpelt.

Lizardpaw walked off to the Queen's den. She put the mouse in front of her mother and siblings. Her mom looked up at her happily. "Thank you Lizardpaw." her mother said gently. "Your welcome." Lizardpaw said.

"Is that Lizardpaw?" A voice from the back of the queen's den called out.

"Yes it is Badgerkit." Her mother said.

Badgerkit came tumbling down toward Lizardpaw. Badgerkit was a black and white tom who had two white stripes on his face. He always looked up to Lizardpaw as like a big sister. Even though they were only cousins. His mother was Whitefeather and she was Redsun (Lizardpaw's mother) sister. Badgerkit had three other siblings. Two brothers and a sister. His sister was Grasskit and his two brothers were Thornkit and Whisperkit.

"Hey Badgerkit!" Lizardpaw said happily. Badgerkit tackled her and sent her to the ground, he was going to be a good apprentice next moon. Grasskit came out too and tackled Badgerkit off Lizardpaw. As the two were fighting she said good-bye to Redsun and walked toward the apprentice den.

But her mentor, Treebark, came running after her.

"Where have you been?" Treebark snapped.

"Hunting." Lizardpaw replied casually.

"I never said you could go hunt alone!"

"Redsun wanted a mouse to eat. So i got her one. Rockstar didn't seem to mind."

"I don't care. You weren't suppose too and you know it. Your to stay in camp for the rest of the night." Treebark said walking away.
