Hola! This will be my third Warriors story, and I have to say the best. I can not take total credit for this story, all the credit goes to the wonderful RPG New Clans! Which any of you readers are welcomed to join. I only own Shadowpaw, Ravenheart, Amberheart, Falcon, Spike, and Stealthpaw. I will like to give credit to: Greensally, whose cat is Healingfeather, as well as the-11th-blackcat, Kittensgonecrazy, Redthroat, Mistypool, and I'm probably forgetting somone else, but I will get you, don't worry.

Shadowpaw prodded the brown tabby she-cat's head. "Mudpaw wake up! You're late for training! Blackpelt and Greystorm will be coming soon!" Shadowpaw hissed in his denmate's ear.

Mudpaw opened her eyes, "Wah? Oh yeah...I hope Blackpelt isn't angry," the she-cat mewed giving her pelt a quick lick before rushing out. Shadowpaw followed.

Shadowpaw waited with Mudpaw for their mentors to show up. Blackpelt showed up first he just looked at Shadowpaw and shrugged. He told Mudpaw to follow with the tip of his tail, then turned and headed out of camp.

"Bye Shadowpaw, I'm sure Greystorm is just running a little late. He will be here soon," Mudpaw mewed over her shoulder as she padded after her mentor.

Shadowpaw watched Mudpaw go and sighed putting his head on his paws. "Greystorm where are you?" Shadowpaw mumbled.

Maybe I should go find him...but then again he might come over here while I'm looking for him and he'll be mad at me for showing up late. Ill just stay right here, Shadowpaw thought to himself. A couple minutes went by, so Shadowpaw decided to groom himself.

"Hope he gets here soon," murmured Shadowpaw, as he finished cleaning his black fur, which was very glossy now. Shadowpaw pricked his ears up, he heard a noise.

Graystorm stumbled into camp. He had a distant look on his face, his eyes filled with sorrow and joy, and his body seemed stiff with worry and another emotion that Shadowpaw didn't even understand yet. Shadowpaw watched Greystorm head to the warrior den, his green eyes took on a hurt expression, they turned angry when Greystorm came back out and headed to him.

"I'm sorry kid..." Graystorm mumbled. "I...I had something else to do." Shadowpaw snorted. "I'm being serious!" Graystorm insisted. "I'm really sorry!"

"If you really are sorry, then you'll tell me why you weren't here," Shadowpaw scoffed. "I want to know. After all, we are supposed to be mentor and apprentice." Graystorm sighed and nodded. "Alright, I'll tell you, but not here." With that, he ran away, giving Shadowpaw no choice but to follow him. They ran for a long time until Shadowpaw finally saw him stop at the edge of LeopardClan territory and sat down. Shadowpaw joined him.

"Shadowpaw..." Greystorm muttered. "Promise me you won't tell anyone." Shadowpaw nodded. It must be something important! Shadowpaw looked at his mentor, he had a wild look in his light blue eyes.

"Okay...I'm...I'm in love with a TigerClan cat..." Greystorm blurted out. Shadowpaw nearly fell over.

"WHAT!? WHO!? HOW!?" he gasped.

"You can't tell anyone" Greystorm meowed again.

Shadowpaw nodded. "I won't, you're my mentor I'll always be a loyal cat to you," Shadowpaw meowed quickly,"But you can't possibly think this is going to turn out well do you? I mean I don't know all of the warrior code but this doesn't seem to be in it." So this is why he is always late for training...I hope he doesn't get hurt...or get kicked out, Shadowpaw thought. Greystorm hung is head. Shadowpaw took one look at his mentor's grave face and quickly licked him between the ears. "Since you made a fur ball move like that I'll help you keep your secret, you can count on me," Shadowpoaw meowed, his green eyes were trusting.

"Thanks, you're okay kid," Greystorm purred.

"So let's go training!" Shadowpaw mewed, streching his feet.

"Alright, let's go," Greystorm replied turning to the trees.

(I know it's kind of boring but the next chappy will be better...that's when Healingfeather comes in, and Shadowpaw falls in love...maybe...)
