"Runningpaw, Whitetalon is looking for you," Larkpaw said.
Runningpaw blinked open her eyes and looked around. Mousepaw and Badgerpaw were still asleep, but Larkpaw was heading out of the den. Runningpaw followed her out and saw Whitetalon waiting for her. Larkpaw's mentor was waiting for her too.
"Hurry up will you," Foxclaw said, he was also the mentor to Larkpaw, a little annoyed.
"We're here, okay," Runningpaw replied. "We just woke up."
"Yeah, well it's only your first moon since you became an apprentice. Sorry," Whitetalon said sarcastically.
"Haha, very funny," Runningpaw said back.
"Come on, let's go," Foxclaw said leading the way out of camp.
The rest of us followed him to the Fireclan border. The birds were singing and the squirrels were jumping from tree-to-tree. Runningpaw watched as a rabbit ran away from them through the forest. That's right run away. I'll catch you next sunrise, she thought to herself.
"Shh, I think I hear Fireclan cats," Larkpaw whispered.
"I think your right," Foxclaw replied.
"Are you sure they are coming," a deep voice echoed through the Forest
"Quick, in those bushes," Whitetalon mewed and slipped into the bushes silently. Runningpaw followed closely behind her was Larkpaw and Foxclaw. There was a gap through the bushes to see Fireclan cats scattered by the border. Runningpaw recognized Cinderstar sitting next to her deputy Tigerstrike.
"Cinderstar, they're not coming," said an angry ginger she-cat.
"Be patient, Honeyblossom. They'll come." Cinderstar said, her voice as smooth as ice.
"Runningpaw," Foxclaw's voice snapped Runningpaw from her stare. "Larkpaw is going to tell Pebblestar. There will be a fight today."
Runningpaw flicked open her eyes as she heard Pebblestar's voice giving commands.
"Runningpaw get up," Whitetalon whispered.
Foxclaw poked his head out of the bush. "Come on," he saidwalking out towards Pebblestar. She followed Whitetalon and saw the Lightningclan Patrol.
"Finally your here," Cinderstar exclaimed as Lightningclan walked out into the open.
"What do you want?" Pebblestar hissed.
"More land," Cinderstar snarled.
"No," Pebblestar growled.
"Thenthere'll be a fight," Cinderstar hissed. "Attack."
Cats bolted straight towards them. Runningpaw saw Pebblestar run at the cats. So did the other Lightningclan cats.
"Come on," Mousepaw said running past her.
Runningpaw didn't know what to do. Fight or flight. She didn't have much chose as Tigerstrike, the Fireclan deputy, ran straight towards her. Runningpaw dodged his first attack and managed to make bleed when her claws slashed open his fur.
"Go pick on someone your own size," a black cat yelled.
She didn't know what happened next. A black blur slammed into Tigerstrike and then everything went black.
