I don't own Warriors Erin Hunter does

This is my first fanfic and i would appreciate if you could review :)

Chapter 1

Bluebird woke up, the sunlight streamed in the warriors den warming her back fur. A white cat with a brown spot on her right eye popped into the den

"Bluebird you're awake, good "the she-cat said.

"Is there something you want me to do" Bluebird replied with a yawn shaking off the last of her sleepiness.

"Yes could you take a border patrol on the far side of the stream there was talk of some strange cats, possibly rogues, take Blossompaw, Bumblebee and Lillypaw with you"

"Ok Cloudberry" Bluebird meowed

"Blossompaw" Bluebird yelled, a young white cat bounded up to her

"You called?" She asked

"Yes, could you fetch Lillypaw and Bumblebee we are going a border patrol"

"Yippee" Blossompaw squealed and raced off to find her sister. Bluebird watched fondly, she loved the little cat's enthusiasm for everything even the boring chores, she was proud to be her mentor.

"You are a good mentor" a voice behind her said. Bluebird jumped and turned towards the cat, and saw a handsome grey and blue cat sitting and watching her with a green gaze.

"She's a good apprentice" Bluebird replied. Her heart fluttered at his praise.

"I see" he meowed still watching her intently with sparkling eyes. Bluebird could not stand to be gawked at any more, she turned away.

"I'm going on a border patrol now" she said, just catching Bumblebee's striped pelt disappear through the entrance. Bluebird padded after him

"Goodbye" Rainstorm called.

Bluebird pushed through the brambles and out into the forest where she saw Blossompaw and Lillypaw chatting away and Bumblebee waiting impatiently

"If I had waited any longer I would have gone deaf" he joked. Bluebird took the lead with Bumblebee just behind and the two apprentices gossiping at the back. Bumblebee turned around to the apprentices "what are you going to do if we meet someone? Talk them to death?"

"Sorry Bumblebee" they muttered but continued gossiping when he turned back around. Bluebird chuckled; Bumblebee sighed and padded alongside Bluebird

"I can't wait until their warrior ceremony, they're driving me crazy" Bumblebee grumbled, Bluebird nodded her head in agreement. Just up ahead was the shallowest bit of the stream and was the easiest bit to cross so they could mark the border on the other side.

"Blossompaw" Bluebird called, the young cat darted forward and stood beside the she-cat "what can you smell" she asked, Blossompaw stuck her nose up in the air and took a long sniff,

"I can smell rouges" she exclaimed "on the other side of the river.

"What!" Bluebird sniffed "well scented little one" she murmured.

"Yes, well done" Bumblebee praised.

Blossompaw glowed at the praise they gave her, Lillypaw snorted and pushed past her sister

"I could have done that"

They swam across the stream and arrived on the far bank hidden in a reed bush, soaking

"This is the worst border patrol, why couldn't we go along the rolling hills" Lillypaw complained loudly,

Bluebird silenced her with a glare,

"Remember the rouges" she whispered threateningly "if they haven't scented us already they would of definitely heard your loud meowing"

Turning around Bluebird walked confidently out of the Reed bush, her head held high with Bumblebee at her side, the apprentices followed suit.

"What have we here" a black cat jumped down from a tree and walked causally to the large group of cats.

"I was about to ask you the same thing" snarled Bumblebee

Bluebird laid her tail on Bumblebee's back "We are asking you to leave our territory at once"

"And who's going to make me? You?" Sneered the cat

"Yes us, you are clearly outnumbered now leave!" Bluebird unsheathed her claws which dug into the ground below her.

"There's no need for that" the cat mocked being afraid "Is their boys?"

Four more cats appeared out of the shadows behind the first cat

"Who's out numbered now?" He laughed.

In a heartbeat Bumblebee was grappling with their leader, and no more than a second later the others followed. Bluebird glanced at Bumblebee he had the leader pinned down and seemed to be winning but there was blood trickling from his ear and along his back, she tried to see where the apprentices went but two large toms stood in the way

"Where are you going? Pretty" the bigger one sneered "Not trying to run away are you?

They advanced closer to Bluebird blocking her view of her clan mates, quick as a mouse she struck out at the nearest tom, it connected. Blood welled up on his snout from the gash she just gave him. "You'll pay for that, pretty" he leaped at her. Bluebird dodged the attack but his companion was waiting, he took a swipe at her head and knocked her backwards. His teammate was ready and knocked her off balanced, the larger one pounced on her and pinned her down

"You ain't going nowhere, pretty" Bluebird relaxed and went limp the tom on top of her released his paw a little to gloat. Bluebird saw her chance and with a huge shove she jumped up Bluebird revelled in the surprised look he gave her, she wasted no time and reared up hitting blow after blow on his scarred muzzle knocking him to the ground, she was about to taunt him when her legs collapsed beneath her, as she struggled to her paws the cat whom she had forgotten was racing at her. She tried to jump out of the way but the tom was quicker and scratched her deep down her flank, unbalanced she fell on her side, the tom stood over her

"You killed my brother" he snarled

Bluebird glance feebly at the body of the other cat, I thought he was unconscious, I didn't know I killed him she thought miserably

"Now I kill you" with a hiss and a swing of his paw, white hot agony flared across Bluebird's belly. She held the tom's gaze for a moment and then blacked out.
