I crouched low and concentrated only on the squirrel in front of me. I was downwind, and he couldn't smell me. I just had to attack before the wind changed direction and let my prescence be known to the rodent.

I was only a few pawsteps away from my prey when I pounced. The tiny animal gave a little scream and then didn't move.

"Tawnypelt."

I jumped. When I turned around to see who is was, Firestar's green eyes stared back at me. (A/N: Firestar's eyes are green, aren't they?) He was standing on the ThunderClan side of the territory. Good.

"Hi, Firestar." I dipped my head respectfully towards him.

"How are things in ShadowClan?" He asked. It was a perfectly appropriate thing to say, but there seemed to be some hidden message in his words.

"Well. We're settling in nicely. And ThunderClan?"

"Things are going well for us, thank you," He replied.

"I'd better be off-- I have a lot more hunting to do," I said quickly.

"Of course. Don't let me stop you from your Clan duties."


"Tawnypelt! I've been looking all over for you," Oakfur bounded up to me.

He has?

"I went hunting," I told him around a mouthful of prey, so it soundedlike, "I bent bunting".

Oakfur laughed. "I can see that. Why don't you put that in the fresh-kill pile and go on a border patrol withRussetfur and I?"

I nodded and obeyed. Russetfur was already at the edge of the clearing for Oakfur and I. Well, at least some cats like me enough to ask me to go on a border patrol with them.


We partolled the RiverClan border first. Hawkfrost jumped out at us from behind a bush.

"What do you think you're doing?" He hissed.

"We're just on border patrol, Hawkfrost," Russetfur replied coolly.

"Just make sure you stay on the ShadowClan side of the border," Hawkfrost narrowed his eyes, "I don't want anyone thinking they can steal RiverClan's prey."

"No one is going to try and steal RiverClan's prey, Hawkfrost! You don't have to be so suspicious of everyone all of the time!" I yelled, exasperated.

All three cats gave me an odd look.

"Just don't try anything." With that, Hawkfrost disappeared.


So, do you like it? Leave a review! I'm trying to make all my capters at least 400 words long.
