I don't own Warriors.

Chapter 1

"Amberpaw. Amberpaw, wake up!" Amberpaw shifted uneasily in her sleep, trying to ignore the voice. A paw began to prod her shoulder and she groaned sleepily, inching away from the cat.

Suddenly, two paws were at her side, pushing hard. Amberpaw's eyes shot open, revealing crystal blue orbs. Her eyelids slid halfway down as soon as she opened them, and she sat up yawning.

The light brown she-cat at her side stared at her through excited emerald green eyes. She gave her chest fur a couple of quick licks, before glancing out at the camp. Amberpaw lifted one paw from the ground, licked it, and began to clean herself.

The light brown she-cat rolled her eyes, before sitting down."Amberpaw, come on! It's our first dawn patrol!"

Amberpaw sighed, getting to her paws, her fluffy golden tail dragging on the ground sleepily. She slowly padded out of the apprentices' den, the chirpy brown she-cat beside her.

A dark, smokey black she-cat sat in the middle of camp, talking to a silver tom. Amberpaw sighed again, glancing up at the sky, which was lit with the sunrise.

As soon as she and the light brown apprentice were halfway into the center of camp, the black she-cat noticed them.

"Well, it looks as though the two apprentices have finally woken up, hmm?" Sloefur's voice came out scratchy, probably due to getting up so early. Amberpaw narrowed her eyes, and her fellow apprentice's tail lashed.

"She's grumpy this morning." The light brown she-cat hissed under her breath, her emerald eyes narrowing."But then again, Sloefur's never been too kind to apprentices."

Amberpaw forced her mrrow of laughter to quiet down, so Sloefur and the silver warrior wouldn't notice.

"I wouldn't get to excited with Badgerface, either, Vinepaw." Amberpaw warned her eyes fixed on the annoyed look the silver warrior had. Vinepaw glanced at her, then at Badgerface, who's tail was lashing impatiently. She nodded.

A heartbeat later, the two apprentices were stnading a mouse-length from their mentors. Sloefur's green eyes narrowed impatiently.

"Well? Let's get this over with." With that, the deputy spun around, stalking into the reeds at the edge of camp. Badgerface lept to his paws, beckoning for the tabby apprentices to follow, before he dashed after his deputy.

"Well, Vinepaw," Amberpaw sighed, staring into the reeds after thier mentors."Here's our first dawn patrol."

Amberpaw paced back into camp, Vinepaw at her side. Sloefur had already stalked into the warrior's den, and was probably asleep by now.

"For StarClan's sake," Vinepaw muttered, her eyes narrowed slits."Why does she have to make everythng seem so bad?"

Amberpaw's own eyes were narrowed, and she turned to glance at her friend before replying," I don't know. But thank StarClan she didn't make Badgerface take us out again. He's as irritable as ever."

Vinepaw nodded, the fur on her neck brislting. It wasn't usual for Vinepaw to get angry, as she was probably the chirpiest cat in RiverClan.

Amberpaw sat down in the middle of camp. "Well, what are we going to do now?" Vinepaw settled down beside her, shrugging.

For a while the two just stared at the other cats, watching the daily clan life.

Suddenly, Vinepaw lept to her paws, emerald eyes shining in the sunlight, as she whispered," I've got an idea." Amberpaw glanced up at her, neck fur bristling, and mentaly chanted, oh, please don't be something against the-

"If you don't mind breaking the rules, that is."

Drat.

"Vinepaw, that's the fourth time this moon that you wanted to do something against the warrior code." Amberpaw lectured, getting to her paws. Vinepaw's eyes took on a pleading look.

"Aww, but Amberpaw! I'm so bored, and it'll be fun!" She urged, beckoning toward the reeds that sheltered the way to the river. Amberpaw growled softly."Let's just go swimming, and maybe catch a few fish."

Amberpaw glared at the tabby apprentice, who pleaded back. She suddenly found herself nodding, giving in.

Vinepaw let out a squeel of happiness, before dashing off into the reeds.

Amberpaw reluctantly followed, wondering if her clan- or even StarClan- would be angry with them.

Amberpaw sat at the edge of the river, refusing to get in without a warrior's permission. Vinepaw had given up her pleading, and now swam with graceful strokes in the rippling water.

"Vinepaw, what if someone catches us?" Amberpaw whispered, glancing warily around. Vinepaw had broken the warrior code on several occasions, and had been caught every time.

"They won't, Amberpaw. The next patrol isn't till this evening." Vinepaw replied, her ears twitching.

"But, Vinepaw, what about-" Amberpaw was cut off as Vinepaw splashed under the water, popping up only a heartbeat later with a fish in her mouth. Amberpaw rolled her eyes, as Vinepaw swam over to the shore, spitting the fish out onto the ground.

"What were you saying?" She whispered to Amberpaw, her eyes shining with pride for her catch.

"I was saying, what about hunting patrols, Vinepaw?" Amberpaw repeated, her pelt bristling. Vinepaw's eyes widened, and she quickly glanced around.

"I hadn't thought of that. . ." With that she dragged herslef out of the water, and quickly shook the droplets from her pelt. "We'd better go."

Vinepaw pushed the fish back into the river, certain that it would feed another. She dashed back to camp, her tail puffing out.

Amberpaw turned to follow, before black fur caught her eye. There was a cat ThunderClan cat across the river, chasing a mouse. His paws suddenly slipped out from under him, and he plunged, head first into the river.

Amberpaw let out a shriek of surprise. "Oh, no! Hold on!"

Well, there it is. Hope you liked it!
