Chapter 3
"From now on until this kit has received her warrior name she shall be known as Ivypaw!" Screechstar yowled to the cats of Shadowclan. "Lizardstripe you are ready for another apprentice, you shall mentor Ivypaw."
"Ivypaw,Tigerpaw,Nettlepaw,Ivypaw,Tigerpaw,Nettlep aw!" The cats yowled.
Mistfur padded over and gave each of her kits a lick between the ears.
"Mom! We can clean ourselves now!" Tigerpaw complained.
"Stop fussing!" Mistfur ordered.
"He is correct Mistfur." Purred Amberleaf Tigerpaws mentor.
"Come on you two were going to see the territory." Meowed Duskleaf Nettlepaws mentor.
"What am I doing?" Ivypaw asked.
"You are to clean the elders bedding and search them for ticks." Lizardfang growled stalking up.
"But I wanted to see the territory!" Ivypaw whined her eyes narrowed.
"No, your to immature." Her mentor meowed. "Now go!"
"I'm not immature!" Ivypaw snarled stalking off.
She entered the elders den they were still sleeping. She smirked and slid out the small hole in the back out into the territory.
"Alright time for a tour." Crookedgrowl meowed his ghostly body barely visible.
"Yea!" Ivypaw meowed her eyes lit up.
"Alright I know where to get Mouse-bile so I'll do your duties." Fogcloud purred.
"Ok!" Ivypaw smiled.
It took a while but Ivypaw got back before Lizardfang came to get her. He looked over the bedding and the elders.
"Go sleep." He grunted. "Tomorrow we go train."
"Fine." Ivypaw meowed. "Like he would train me."
"hey Ivypaw your nest is over there!" Tigerpaw pointed to a nest farthest from the entrance and from the other apprentices.
"Well me and Tigerpaw will be back." Nettlepaw meowed standing up and following Tigerpaw out of the den.
"Good luck!" Winterpaw snorted.
She was a small black she-cat with white paws.
"You will never make it to a warrior!" Blizzardpaw teased he was a pure white tom.
"Will to!" Ivypaw snarled.
"Yea right." Winterpaw snorted.
Ivypaw snarled before curling up and falling to sleep. She then woke up with mist hiding all around her and eyes watching her from the shadows. A large brown cat lunged for her throat. He hoped Ivypaw would flinch he thought she was newbie. Ivypaw hissed and slashed her paw forwards then connected her teeth to the brown cats shoulder.
"What was that for!" The brown cat hissed.
"You leapt for me." Ivypaw retored.
"Fine then I'm Moleye you?" The brown tom joked.
"Ivypaw." She meowed her tail flicked.
The two then set off to the training clearing. Moleeye leapt up the rock next to Tornstar to watch the cats train.
"Hey hey you!." A small warrior by the name of Rippleclaw called ivypaw.
"what?" Ivypaw snarled.
Rippleclaw leapt forwards saying no more. Ivypaw then slashed her paw out connecting with the warriors chest. Rippleclaw flailed his paws out at Iypaws chest. She then leapt up abnd landed squarely on Rippleclaws shoulders making him let out a loud yowl. He stared wildly at Ivypaw his blood smeared on his fur, and on her fur as well.
"Wake up!" Tigerpaw yowled snapping Ivypaw back to the real world.
"Time to train!" Lizardfang growled softly.
"Whats with this blood?" Nettlepaw stiffened.
"I must have cut myself on a thorn while getting moss." Ivypaw lied.
"Alright then." Lizardfang meowed. "lets go train."
Ivypaw nodded and followed her mentor out of the den. She had the gleam of an evil cat.
"I heard what you did to Rippleclaw last night!" Nightpaw hissed under his breath. "You sure messed him up!"
"I guess I did." Ivypaw meowed her eyes narrowed.
