(A/N): This is may new story Wherever the Current Flows. I was just getting thinks kicked off so sorry for a short and boring chapter. Lets hope this turns out great.
"Mintpaw, Stonepaw, Sagepaw, Honeypaw, Mudpaw, Troutpaw!" yowled the RiverClan cats. Mintpaw felt her heart swell with pride. She was finally an apprentice! After moons of being bored in the nursery she felt the urge to start training like an itch under her fur. Stonepaw stood on one side of her; she could sense the joy coming off his pelt. His mentor was Rivertail. Her mentor was Hollyheart and Sagepaw decided to train as a medicine cat with Blossomtail as his mentor.
She ran up to Hollyheart, she seemed as excited as she was. She was her first apprentice after all.
"What will we do?" asked Mintpaw, bouncing up and down in excitement.
"We will show you the borders with Rivertail, Stonepaw Troutpaw, and Sparrowheart." replied Hollyheart.
They padded put of camp and into their territory.
Wow everything is so big thought Mintpaw and she could hear the gasps of her fellow apprentices.
She dropped behind to Stonepaw and Troutpaw.
"Hi Mintpaw!" said Troutpaw excitedly.
"Hi Troutpaw." replied Mintpaw.
Troutpaw suddenly rushed ahead and ran through the bushes.
"Troutpaw! Stop."called Sparrowheart as he ran after him.
Mintpaw rolled her eyes, Troutpaw always has seemed to do stupid stuff in front of her, she never quite knew why.
"Hey Stonepaw!" said Mintheart.
"Hey." replied Stonepaw his icy blue eyes glinted with hidden excitment.
They suddenly stopped.
"This is the gorge. Always be cautious when you are near it. Too many warriors have lost their lives because of falling into it's depths." stated Rivertail.
Mintpaw cautiously peered over the edge. White water roared down the river. She backed up.
That would be horrible to fall into though Mintpaw.
Troutpaw joined the back of the group with Sparrowpelt fuming behind him.
They continued to walk along the border until they were at Sunningrocks. They walked onto the rocks. Rivertail spoke of how Sunningrocks was always fought over by RiverClan and ThunderClan.
Suddenly, movement caught Mintpaw's eye. A mouse was creeping along the edge of the rocks. She went into a perfect hunter's crouch, she had seem apprentices practicing, so she knew it like the back of her paw. Slowly she crept up on in until she pounced and killed it. She glanced up to see her Clanmates staring at her.
"That was so cool!" exclaimed Stonepaw. He seemed to always say whats on his mind.
"Good job." said Hollyheart
As they walked back to camp, Mintpaw held her head high. She had caught her first prey!
