Don't own warriors. Never have, never will.

Berrynose was lying beside the warriors' den, staring boredly at the sky and wondering what he should do. He'd almost decided to take a nap when Mousewhisker and Hazeltail bounded over to him.
"Do you want to go hunting with us?" Hazeltail asked brightly.
"Sure." Berrynose nodded, getting to his feet and following them toward the entrance of the camp. When they left camp they spread out to hunt, staying within yowling distance of each other. Berrynose looked around, scenting the air. There was a squirrel nearby, and he crept toward it. Hunkering down low on his haunches and moving silently, he followed his nose because he couldn't see through the thick grass. When he got close enough, he pounced. There was a yowl as he landed, and a mound of creamy fur leapt away from him, hissing violently. Berrynose stared, then gasped.
"What are you doing on this side of the border?"
"What?" Dawnpelt asked, startled. "I'm not-" she looked around and realized where she was. "Mouse dung." she muttered furiously. She gave Berrynose a worried, slightly apologetic look and turned to leave, when suddenly they heard pawsteps approaching. Mousewhisker and Hazeltail!
Without knowing why, Berrynose shoved Dawnpelt toward a thick bush.
"Quick! Hide! Now!" he urged. She gave him a shocked look, but obeyed, ducking under the bush just as Hazeltail and Mousewhisker burst out of the underbrush to the right.
"What happened?" Mousewhisker panted, "We heard a yowl!"
"Nothing." Berrynose replied easily. "Got surprised, that's all."
"By what?" his sister asked skeptically. He shrugged.
"Harmless little snake. It slithered just out from under me while I was walking."
"Oh. Well, we'd better get back to hunting now." Mousewhisker meowed, looking doubtful.
"Yeah." Berrynose nodded as they padded back the way they'd come. When they had vanished back into the undergrowth, he turned and spoke to the bush. "Run." He turned his back and started away, listening to the sound of pawsteps behind him, fading away in the direction of ShadowClan.
