Chapter 1

It was the morning after Foxpaw was made an apprentice. His brother Ravenpaw was made an apprentice before him because Foxpaw got greencough. The other three apprentices don't like him or Ravenpaw or at least that is what they think.

"Foxpaw get up and get out here now!" Growled his mentor. A little after he called for Foxpaw. Foxpaw replied "Yes Darkstripe, I'm on my way." Darkstripe has been tough on him since the day he was born. When Foxpaw was born Darkstripe said he looked like a kittypet and would never make it out here. Foxpaw's father Tigertooth made Darkstripe, Foxpaw's mentor because of the comment. Tigertooth is the deputy of Grassclan and Darkstripe's brother. Though Darkstripe was tough on Foxpaw, he was not tough on Ravenpaw. Ravenpaw and Foxpaw don't understand what Darkstripe's problem is.

Quickly Foxpaw got out of the den and meet Darkstripe by the camp entrance. Darkstripe was munching on a small mouse when he got over there. "What are we gonna do to day Darkstripe." Foxpaw asked quietly. A few moments after he finished his mouse he answered. "You will see the clan's boundary." As they set off Foxpaw wondered what he would see. They headed west immediately towards the Waterclan boarder.

As they got close to the border, Darkstripe hissed "Remember we are to the Waterclan boarder. What is one thing we should do." Darkstripe turned towards Foxpaw to see him in Waterclan's territory. "What are you doing Foxpaw?"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to get a better scent." Slowly Foxpaw walked back to Darkstripe.

"First thing to remember is to never enter another clan's territory, we only enter if the clan attackes us." Darkstripe snarled into his ear. "Got it." Foxpaw who was already at Darkstripe's side nodded his head.

Then thay made their way to the Island. "This is the Island, we hold our gatherings here. North of here is Fireclan, like Darkclan in frount of us, you will not be able to catch their scent."

By the time thay were done exploring the territory, Foxpaw was tired. When Darkstripe and Foxpaw got back to the camp, Darkstripe went over to Tigertooth and Fernleaf. Foxpaw was tring to find Ravenpaw when something knocked him over. " How was your first day as an apprentice." Foxpaw turned over to see Brightpaw.

"Ok, but why do you care?" asked Foxpaw. Brightpaw moved even closer to Foxpaw. "Because I might go out with you and Darkstripe tomarrow." Purred Brightpaw. Slowly she backed of and walked over to her sisters. "What was that all about." laughed Ravenpaw as he walked over. Foxpaw shruged his shoulders and went to talk to Ravenpaw about his day.
