Hihi! I finally got around to updating this story. I know it took forever but it's updated now. So, haha! Anways, I understand that I have grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, and I really need to use an editing program. Bah! xD But I'm too lazy. So any mistakes are OK to point out, cuz I understand I make them. Anywaaaays! Time to answer my reviews! BTW, I was so shocked to see I got any :)
Mysterious Myracle - (huggles) Your so nice :) I never thought anyone would say that about this story. I'm not that good of a writer.
Ruastfru-of-MorningClan - Blah! I think I just butchered your name. ANYWAYS, thanks for the compliment. xD It was... wasn't it?
Cloudfire - Riiiight. I forgot that was something I would say :D Well, thanks for pointing that out.
Frosttears - (sniffles) Wow, I'm touched. You look forward to me writing more? I really didn't think I'd ever expect that.
NOTE TO EVERYONE
This chappie is probably not as good as the last chappie D: I was so out of it when I wrote this. So expect some major grammar errors, spelling errors, and no basic plot whatsoever. Just a mesh up of sentences. BTW, did I spell sentences wrong?

A bright light beamed through the den, hitting me in the face. Hissing I scrambled quickly to my feet. Taking a quick glance around the den, I noticed that Angelpaw and Ghostpaw were... you guessed it! Missing. Well... tehcnically, hunting. But it's all the same.
Shifting my weight slightly, I glanced over my shoulder to my brother Tinypaw. He's small black tom (hence his name) with large eyes and ears. Everybody thinks he's so adorable... In a way I guess he is. Kinda like a kitten.
I felt a light prod in my side and turned my head, wishfully. I knew it probably wouldn't be him and I was correct. It was Softpaw.
Sighing, I asked, "Yes?"
"Did you hear about Angelpaw and Ghostpaw yet? Ghostpaw admitted that he liked her and they went hunting!" squealed Softpaw. "Isn't that absolutely adorable! They're sooooo cute together!"
"Yeah," I hissed with a fake smile, "Absolutely adorable!"
"I know!" gushed Softpaw. "One day they'll have the cutest kittens! I mean Angelpaw is SO beautiful! And Ghostpaw is SO handsome! Don't you think?"
I narrowed my eyes and snapped, "Yeah." Yes, I understood that my sister Angelpaw was beautiful. After all she had golden-dark ginger fur that was long and silky. And her light amber eyes screamed I'm beautiful, but I seriously couldn't imagine her having kits with my crush. After all, he WAS my crush.
Flicking my black tipped ears, I spun around and stormed noisily to the fresh kill pile. As I was about to pick out a piece of prey I heard my mentor, Stoneclaw, yell at me.
"Not until you've hunted Scarletpaw!" Stoneclaw scolded, with a flick of his dark gray tail. I sighed in defeat and pranced out the clearing with my tail in the dust.

I was about to pounce when I heard a rustle in the bushes. Whipping my head around I saw Ghostpaw stalking a rabbit. His hind paw's thumped against the ground noisily.
Great StarClan! He'd scare away my mouse as well as his rabbit! Even a kit couldn't hunt that noisily.
As I approached the mouse, I was about to pounce when thudding started. I hissed in annoyance as the mouse looked around and scampered away. I turned my head to see a panting Ghostpaw.
"Thanks!" I hissed, sarcastically.
He glanced my way and then turned away.
"Well aren't you going to say something!?" I spat, "You just cost me my prey and your rabbit! Don't you think you should get some hunting practice before you go... well... HUNTING?"
He looked down at the ground and scuttled his paws in embarresment. As he didn't respond, I hissed in frustration and stormed away with my tail leaving a trail of resentment.
"Sorry," Ghostpaw muttered to himself as I stalked away. Then he turned around and raced back to find Angelpaw.
I was so furious. How come he didn't say sorry? How come he didn't say ANYTHING? Could he not speak? These questions burned in my mind and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Hours (A/N: Yes, I understand they don't know what an hour is...) later, I returned to camp with a jaw-full of prey. I was so hungry and the scent of the prey wafting over me made my mouth water.
As I placed the remainder of the prey onto the pile, I carefully picked one up in my jaws and headed over to the apprentice's den to eat.
"Hi," whispered one of the apprentices, Stonepaw, sheepishly. Stonepaw had dark gray fur with white paws and nice deep green eyes.
"Hi," I nodded to him and sat down beside him to eat. He was really nice to me... no idea why, though.
"So... how was your hunting trip?" he asked, shifting his weight so our pelts brushed lightly.
I took a giant, ravenous bite out of my bird and mumbled, "Fine," through a mouthful of prey. I knew it hadn't been fine, but why get him worried about something. Stonepaw was just that way, kind and caring.
"Good... so tomorrow do you maybe want to go..." he broke off and scuttled his paws in great embarresment.
"Go where?" I asked, staring at him with big brown eyes.
"Nothing..." he whispered.
"Please?" I asked him. I was dying to know what he was going to ask. I'm just curious that way.
"Hunting," he finished. He got up and moved away muttering, "Just forget it."
I glanced at him in surprise. That was the last thing I expected. He asked ME to go hunting? No one had ever asked me that! Well, except my friends... Maybe he was my friend!
"Sure!" I meowed, calmly.
"Really?" he asked, incredulously. "You'll go?"
"Yeah, were friends right?" I meowed, flicking my tail back and forth.
"Yeah," he mumbled, his eyes returning to their dull state. "Friends."
OOoooh! I got this contest idea! Whoever reviews first gets a... a... a cat in this story! Please make it an apprentice female that can be Scarletpaw's Best friend :)
