"I can't believe were sneaking out, Littlepaw!" Ravenpaw looked around nervous. His was tail tip flicking. "Dovepaw is going to notice were gone."

"No she won't. Her and Brackenpaw are on patrol. Who we really need to be worried about finding us are Blueflame and Willowwind and we don't even have to worry about them because they are assessing Gingerpaw and Oakpaw. Come on let's go! There is something up." Littlepaw lead the way down to the lake.

"Will you tell me where were going now?" Ravenpaw asked.

"Not yet," she led the way a little further until they saw a tunnel. "Come on!" Littlepaw went into the mouth of the tunnel.

"When did you find this place?" Ravenpaw asked, his blue eyes shining with curiosity.

"I found it on patrol. I told no one. Come on!" The two cats went into the tunnel and found their way into a cave. "Oh my gosh! Look at this place!" There was a crack in the ceiling that let weak sunlight into the cavern. Littlepaw flicked her tail in happiness. "This is great isn't it?"

"Yeah, I can't wait to show Dovepaw and Brackenpaw! They'll think it's great!" Ravenpaw smiled thinking about how the four of them could do… when he heard footsteps. "Hello?" he called into the darkness.

"Think you could leave us?" Ravenpaw heard his sister's voice. Littlepaw turned around and saw a pair of orange eyes and below a pair of blue eyes.

"Dovepaw! Brackenpaw! What are you two doing here?" Littlepaw asked. She looked at Dovepaw, the only cat in all the clans smaller than her and smiled, slightly jealous that Ravenpaw loved her more than Littlepaw, but why shouldn't he? She is his sister. Littlepaw flicked her ears in acknowledgement to the two cats. Ravenpaw rubbed his head over Dovepaw's flank. It was a miracle they were alive. They had three siblings, Eaglekit, Hawkkit and Crowkit. Dovepaw and Ravenpaw were with them. The three tom kits were all taken away by two-legs that raided the camp. Since then the hollow had more brambles and thorns built around.

Ravenpaw and Brackenpaw looked up at the roof. "It could let in a lot of light at night…" Brackenpaw said.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ravenpaw whispered.

"That your sister is really hot?" Brackenpaw whispered back.

"What?"

"Oh because I was not thinking that!" Brackenpaw let out a nervous laugh.

"Sure you weren't, anyway I was thinking this would be a good midnight training ground for us." Ravenpaw paused. "If I'm going to be leader and you my deputy."

"Yeah right! I'll be leader and you will be deputy!" Brackenpaw looked at Dovepaw "and Dovepaw will be my mate,"

"Were only apprentices…" Ravenpaw reminded Brackenpaw yet again. "Brackenpaw, you know you're my best friend right?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Stop hitting on my sister." Ravenpaw and Brackenpaw went onto fixing up the cave so the four cats could train.

Dovepaw looked at the setting sun through the crack in the roof. "We should go, as much as I'd like to stay." She sighed. "We were hunting and Duststorm and Adderstrike will know were missing. Dovepaw padded out of the tunnel.

Dovepaw entered camp with two squirrels and a vole hanging from her jaws. Brackenpaw followed her with three mice and a rabbit hanging from his jaws. Ravenpaw and Littlepaw were found by their mentors and had to go patrol. Dovepaw yawned tired. She padded to the den. Her nest was on the outside even though she was an older apprentice. She saw Gingerpaw and Fishpaw in the den already. The moon was almost full. She was excited to go to the gathering tomorrow night. It would be her last one as an apprentice. Can't wait. She curled up in her nest and fell asleep. She woke up at moonhigh. Brackenpaw was by Ravenpaw, Oakpaw and Fishpaw. Dovepaw looked up and saw Littlepaw and Gingerpaw on either side of her. Mosspaw was between Brackenpaw and Gingerpaw. Dovepaw got up and went to get a drink. She heard some chirping in camp. She turned around and saw two birds, a raven and a dove. Her instincts were telling her to hunt them but she was amazed they were actually in camp.

"Two cats will teach the clans to fly." Dovepaw turned around and saw Eaglekit. "It wasn't us. You and Ravenpaw be safe."

"Don't go!" She called but he was already gone. She heard the birds fly toward the directions to the tunnels. "The tunnels? But what do you want from there?" she asked quietly.

My create a cat is still open, and I need apprentices. I can't open the next chapter (the gathering) until those places are filled! Please go to my create a cat and submit! :D (and here is one with a mustache) :{D
