"Creampaw! I'm so glad you're awake. You were meowing in your sleep, and you looked exhausted, but I couldn't wake you up!" Lionpaw mewed as she ran into the medicine cat's den.
"I'm fine." For now. Once that darkness comes, then no one will be. She thought as she remembered her dream. I better tell Marigoldpool about it. She'll know what it means. Speaking of, Marigoldpool walked into the den "Oh good, you're awake. You probably just had a bad dream. Nothing to worry about. I'll just make sure your fine and you can go back to training." She turned to Lionpaw. "Go start training with Doveflight, Creampaw can catch up later."
Lionpaw looked as if she wanted to argue, but knew better and padded off. Marigoldpool looked at me. "Tell me, was your dream from Starclan?"
Her question surprised me, but I nodded. "Barktail came to me and talked about some darknessā¦"
She looked at me but then let me go train and asked no more questions. I padded out of the den. "It's time for training. Today we will see the territory." Shiverwing announced as she walked towards me.
"Okay."
About two moons have passed since I was made an apprentice. Lionpaw would always come back from training and raved about how she caught more fresh kill than Ripplepaw. It was starting to get on my nerves. "Crystalwing, Lightfoot, Doveflight, Lionpaw, Ripplepaw, Badgerpaw, and Creampaw you all are coming on a border patrol with me." Shiverwing said.
I jumped off and padded off with Shiverwing and the rest of the apprentices and warrriors. When we got to our border with Shadowclan, I smell something. "There is a Shadowclan cat on our side of the border. The scent is fresh."
Sure enough, we saw a Shadowclan warrior stalking a vole on our side of the border. His eyes look like they were clawed out, one of his ears is gone, and half of his tail is missing. I unsheathed my claws. This was a cat that liked to get into fights. "Having fun?" Crystalwing growled.
The vole ran away and the cat looked at us. "I would if Thunderclan cats didn't smell so bad. I'm surprised any of you could like it here." He shot an angry glance at Lightfoot.
"You'd better get on your side of the border Sharpfang, and we might not tell Bearstar you were stealing our prey." Shiverwing hissed.
Sharpfang! That's the Shadowclan deputy. Why Bearstar let a cat that couldn't see be a deputy I'll never know."What do you mean? I'm repaying the favor your warriors did for us. Or don't you know that Thunderclan warriors are stealing our prey?"
"Thunderclan warriors follow the warrior code, unlike Shadowclan." Mewed Lionpaw.
Sharpfang turned toward Lionpaw and pounced on her. He bit her leg and clawed her ear. It all happened so fast, that when he let her go, she fell to the ground, with no life in her eyes. Before any of the others could fight him, he raced off onto his own territory, and then towards his camp.
