Squirrelpaw's POV

Hi! I'm Squirrelpaw! I am going to be Sandstorm's successor! (Deputies do not matter in this school) Leafpaw, my sister is studying herbal medicine. Oh, here she comes now, with Crowpaw?!

Ugh, why is she so obsessed with him? Its against the code to marry someone from another section.

The four sections are Thunderwoods, Shadowpines, Windmoor, and Riverstream. I am part of Thunderwoods.

"Squirrelpaw! You're blocking my way!" Someone snaps, pushing past me. Brambleclaw.

Ever since he graduated to the more advanced classes, he's been pushing past apprentices like me, like he owned this school. He's so annoying! I herd about some rumors saying that Firestar's going to chose him to be his successor. Why Firestar, Why?


This is my room I share with Leafpaw. I think its too fancy, but of course, Leafpaw likes it this way. I walked past Leafpaw's pink lacy bed, letting out a snort of disgust, as I head toward my plain white one.

School is too boring. I want an adventure. I was about to go to sleep, when I noticed five figures sneaking out of school grounds. I decided to follow them.

"...journey." The person, who I'm sure is Tawnypelt of Shadowpines, spoke.

"What journey?" I asked stepping out of the bushes.

"Squirrelpaw, what are you doing here?" Brambleclaw snarled.

Oh. I never noticed he was here. Therefore, I didn't notice Stormfur and Feathertail from Riverstream and Crowpaw from Windmoor. Wait, Crowpaw?

"I came here to take some troublemakers who passed school grounds back." I retorted. "And what journey?"

Brambleclaw glared at me. "You can pass school grounds with someone. And you came by yourself." He answered.

Wait, he never answered by second question!

"WHAT JOURNEY?" I screeched.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Brambleclaw roared.


"Brambleclaw! Quiet down. I think we should tell her." Feathertail said.

"Yeah, considering the big mouth she has. She could easily mention our journey." Crowpaw muttered.

"Fine. We are going to the Atlantic Ocean. We have to escape this fancy school."

"By foot?" I asked.

"If you have any better ideas, then yes." Brambleclaw snapped.

Suddenly I remembered something.

"Yes, but I have to come with you."

Brambleclaw sighed. "Fine."

"Ok. How are you guys at horseback riding?"
