Chapter Two

Graywing woke up the next day, momentarily confused. Why wasn't she in the apprentice den? Then she remembered. She was a warrior!
Graywing rose to her paws, and noticed that her stomach was growling. She padded outside into the bright sunlight, blinked several times to get her eyes adjusted to the light, then walked quickly to the fresh-kill pile. She searched through the pile, then finally found something she liked. A nice fat vole. She padded over to where a group of warriors were laying in the sunlight near Bramblestar's den, soaking up the sun, and sat down next to the familiar gray she-cat.
"Hi, Amberfoot," she mewed.
Amberfoot opened her eyes and blinked. "Oh, hi, Graypa-wing," Amberfoot quickly corrected.
Graywing bit into the vole and chewed thoughtfully before swallowing and asking: "Who are they?"
Amberfoot stared at her, confusion dancing in her eyes, then they lit up, as if she had just understood what Graywing had asked.
"That's Blossomfall," Amberfoot pointed to the nearest cat with her tail- a calico she-cat- then continued on. "The golden brown tabby tom is Brackenfur, the gray tabby she-cat is Millie, the cream-colored tom is Berrynose, and Icecloud is the white she-cat."
Graywing nodded, mentally trying to remember their names. She quickly finished the vole and clambered to her paws. "Do you want to go hunting?" she asked.
Amberfoot shrugged. "Why not?" She prodded Blossomfall with her paw.
The calico she-cat opened one eye. "What?" she asked grumpily.
"Would you like to come hunting with me and Graywing?" Amberfoot asked.
"Is Thornclaw going to?" Blossomfall asked, rising slowly to her paws.
Amberfoot shrugged. "We can ask."
"Okay, I'll come," Blossomfall mewed, the sleep instantly gone.
Graywing rolled her eyes and inwardly snorted. What was it with all these love-struck idiots?
Amberfoot turned to Graywing. "Can you go find Thornclaw?" she asked, her voice suddenly hollow.
Graywing nodded and bounded off. When she brought Thornclaw back, Amberfoot was just vanishing into the medicine den.
"Where's Amberfoot going?" Graywing asked Blossomfall.
The calico she-cat shrugged and didn't look at her. "She said she wasn't feeling well."
Graywing noticed that Blossomfall and Thornclaw were staring at each other with a funny look in their eyes.
"Oh," Graywing mewed. She would have to go visit her friend after hunting. "Um, should we go?" Graywing asked, embarrassed to be caught in the middle of some cats' love again.
"Sure," Thornclaw mewed, finally breaking eye contact with Blossomfall.
Graywing padded awkwardly after the two cats into the forest.
The three cats trekked towards the Shadowclan border, and when they reached the abandoned Twoleg den, they broke into two groups. Blossomfall and Thornclaw in one, Graywing in the other.
Graywing couldn't say she was disappointed that they were gone. She had had enough with the two cats staring at each other with wide eyes.
She sniffed the air, and caught a faint scent of mouse. She followed the trail, unaware that it was headed straight for the Shadowclan border.
Graywing noticed the mouse straight ahead. She ducked into the hunter's crouch and slithered forward until she was in pouncing range.
She shot forward as the mouse finally sensed danger, but it was too late, and Graywing sunk her claws into it's tiny neck.
"Hey! What are you doing on Shadowclan territory?!" A familiar voice yowled.
Graywing's head snapped up, but she relaxed slightly as she noticed the familiar reddish-brown pelt in the green brush.
"It's just me, Redshade!" Graywing called back. "And I'm still on my territory!"
Redshade stalked out of the bushes. "Look around you, Graypaw. These are pine trees, Shadowclan trees."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Graywing dipped her head. "Would you like this mouse then? I caught it on your territory."
Redshade shook his head. "Keep it," he growled.
"Oh, and it's Graywing now," the gray she-cat mewed, taking a step back towards her territory.
"Sorry," Redshade muttered. He looked at his paws, and shifted them around. "Would you, um, like to hang out sometime?"
Graywing blinked. Why he be so nervous about that? "Sure," she mewed and glanced behind herself. "I should probably head back, my clanmates are going to be wondering where I am."
"Okay," Redshade mewed, "When should we hang out?"
"I don't know, at the Gathering or something?"
Redshade blinked at her. "I meant at night..."
Graywing stared at him. Was he seriously asking her to break the warrior code just so they could hang out? She pricked her ears. "Um, I have to go! I can hear Blossomfall and Thornclaw looking for me!" She bounded off without looking back, aware that she had hurt Redshade's feelings.


Graywing returned to camp just as the sun was setting, two mice and a thrush in her jaws. She dropped the prey on the fresh-kill pile, then grabbed a mouse and looked around for her friends.
She spotted Amberfoot with Blossomfall again, except this time Thornclaw was with them, and Flowerfrost was sitting with Ivypool and Toadstep. She couldn't see Tigerflame anywhere.
"Graywing!"
Graywing looked in the direction of the voice, near the warriors den.
She spotted Dewpelt sitting with a very pale ginger she-cat and walked over.
She sat down next to Dewpelt and bit into her mouse. "I'm Graywing," she mewed to the ginger she-cat.
"Look at her over there, talking to to him like it's nothing," the ginger cat snorted, ignoring her completely.
Graywing glanced across the clearing in the direction the ginger she-cat was looking and saw a dark tabby she-cat with white splotches talking with a very pale gray tom with black stripes.
Graywing poked Dewpelt, who seemed to be dozing off, and asked quietly: "Who are they?"
"The ginger she-cat is Seedpelt, her sister is Lilyflower, the dark tabby, and Bumblestripe is the tom that both of them like," Dewpelt mewed without opening his eyes.
Graywing blinked. More love-struck idiot drama?
"I, um, have to go!" Graywing exclaimed and bounded to her paws. As she jumped up, pain seared through her shoulder. "My, um, shoulder hurts." Without waiting for a reply, she stalked off to the medicine den.
