Snowpaw's face stayed frozen for a long moment while Darkpaw waited for her sister's reaction "Darkpaw! It's time to see the territory!" It was Silverlake, Darkpaw Hurried over to her mentor and bounded out of the camp while her siblings and her mentor fell behind. Firepaw was the first to catch up, "Darkpaw slow down a little!
We can't keep up!" Darkpaw was thoughtful "wanna have a race too the river?" Firepaw panted then wacked Darkpaw in the face again "that would be nice if we actually knew where the river was! Think Darkpaw think!" Darkpaw rolled her eyes "ok fine." Soon the others caught up and, having been the oldest there Hopfoot led the way.
After seeing the territory Darkpaw was eager to get on with that race and challenged Firepaw and Beaverpaw, they both already knew she was gonna win but it was fun so they agreed. "Go!" Darkpaw shouted and they all took off Darkpaw out of sight within two seconds, in fact, she ran so fast she tumbled right into the river!
"Help!" she cried "Help!" she hadn't learned how to swim yet! Suddenly she was being hoisted out of the river, and placed onto the ground dripping wet with her ears full of water she could barely hear someone whisper "great Starclan! is Riverclan letting their kits out now just beacause of their hight?" Suddenly Dakrpaw realized a Windclan cat had pulled her out of the river!
She whipped around looking at the group of cats and, sure enough, there was Brackenstar Windclan's leader staring down at her, she inhaled sharply "don't worry we won't hurt you." Darkpaw was still scared too death "thank you Brackenstar." Darkpaw whipped around to see Silverlake, Firepaw, and Beaverpaw watching from the Riverclan side. The Windclan Deputy Falconflight lifted his chin and spoke "is your clan now turning kits to apprentices do to their size?" Silverlake rolled her eyes "it's her first day out of camp Falconflight I'm coming over to get her." Darkpaw was annoyed "I have legs you know! I can walk over myself."
And she did, and she didn't fall, but got a lot of critisizm from Firepaw that day saying she was a mouse-brain and Beaverpaw just went around telling everyone she had been captured by Windclan.
. . .
"Ok Darkpaw hold your paw like this so that you don't cast a shadow on the water." Darkpaw carefully obeyed her mentor and waited for a fish to pass by, when one finally passed by Darkpaw she lashed out for and caught it with very tip of her claw and bit it's neck as quick as she could. "Well done Darkpaw! You're doing amazing you'll be a warrior in no time."
