A/N: Hello Everyone! So, I have adopted this story from Takashimo. Great Author by the way! :D I will tell everyone when the chapters I wrote are up. This is for all of her fans, and maybe some of mine that will like this story? But here it is, it's really a great story and you should really try it out. I wish I thought of it, but I'm so grateful to get to finish it! Maybe a sequel is in the future. Yeah, well I'm gonna stop my rambling.

Disclaimer: Warriors is own by Erin Hunter, but this story is owned by Takashimo. I do not take credit for the parts I have not written.

She was mourning, grieving. For what? Her beloved mentor was dead. How? Her mentor had been killed by a badger. Why? They had attacked. Angry that they were being forced out. "I'm sorry, Cinderpelt." she said. She could have stopped this from happening. She should have been there. But no, she hadn't. She'd been with a tom, Crowfeather. The name made her shudder with the memory of their decision to leave. Why had she been so foolish? Why?

"WAKE UP!"

Lightpaw woke immediately. She looked up to see her friend, Shadowpaw. "You didn't need to shout," she said, standing.

"Sorry, habit." Shadowpaw said. Lightpaw gave him a look that said 'I believe that all right'. "Come on, our mentors are waiting," Shadowpaw continued, ignoring the look. Outside, they met Wetfeather and Hazelstripe.

"I see you've decided to wake up, Lightpaw," said Wetfeather. Lightpaw shuffled her paws. Her mentor wasn't exactly the praising kind of cat. Instead, he would point out any wrong things she did.

Shadowpaw mewed, "It's not her fault, Wetfeather. We were up training past sunset yesterday." Lightpaw smiled at Shadowpaw in a way that thanked him.

Wetfeather simply nodded and turned to Hazelstripe, "Should we go now?" The brown she-cat nodded in response.

"Stop! Lightpaw, what are you doing?" asked Wetfeather. Lightpaw didn't quite understand what was wrong. "Shadowpaw let her up. Honestly, you should know by now, Lightpaw." her mentor growled. Lightpaw got to her paws after Shadowpaw had gotten off her.

"What did I do?" she asked.

Wetfeather huffed through his nostrils, "You gave him the advantage. You hesitated to attack, allowing him to pin you down! Have I taught you nothing?!"

Lightpaw stared at her mentor and started to apologize, " I'm sorry, Wetfeather. I-"

"Sorry nothing! What if Shadowpaw had been a ShadowClan warrior? You'd be dead now!" he snarled, intercepting her apology before she was done.

Lightpaw began crying, tears slowly forming and sliding down her face. "Wetfeather! Why do you always do this? She's just an apprentice," Hazelstripe mewed, glaring at the other mentor.

"An apprentice that is far behind the others! At this rate, she should become a warrior when she's an elder! Why couldn't Sleetstar have given me Pollenpaw or Twilightpaw? Instead I'm stuck with an apprentice that can't do the simplest of moves!" Wetfeather said angrily.

That was it. Lightpaw burst into tears and ran away. "Lightpaw!" Shadowpaw shouted. He turned to Wetfeather, "You're a horrible cat!" He then hurried after the brown and white tabby apprentice.

Hazelstripe shook her head slowly, "Look what you've done now. I hope you think about this, Wetfeather. I'm going to follow those two and make sure they don't get hurt." She walked away, leaving Wetfeather behind.

"Lightpaw! Lightpaw, where are you?!" Shadowpaw called. He couldn't find her anywhere. He finally came to the stream that marked the ThunderClan-WindClan boarder. A vision came hard.

*He was waiting for her. 'Where is she?' he wondered. Finally, a tabby she-cat appeared. "Leafpool!" he said happily. The she-cat ran to where he was. They nuzzled and licked each other, obviously in love. Leafpool... This was the she-cat he loved, the one he needed, craved. "I love you." they said in unison.*

"Shadowpaw, is that you?" Shadowpaw was knocked away from the vision and saw Lightpaw standing where the tabby she-cat had been.

"There you are! Are you okay?" he asked, padded over to her.

"I guess. I just never knew Wetfeather hated me so much." Lightpaw said. Shadowpaw licked a tear from her cheek.

"Don't cry. It doesn't suit you." Lightpaw smiled half-heartedly at him.

"Hey you two, we should be getting back to camp, no?" asked Hazelstripe, who was suddenly there. Shadowpaw and Lightpaw nodded, following the brown warrior back to camp.

AN: I won't have an author note after every chapter. Just wondering if you liked the new format or not, I edited that, and that only. Takashimo said it was fine, and I was wondering if you liked the other format better. You can say so in reviews! :D
