Brownpaw's POV

"BROWNPAW WAKE UP!" I was waken up by cold water being thrown on top of me. I jumped up to see Redheart and Grayheart standing over me with more water. I could tell they were ready to throw it.

"What?" I yelled. "What do you want!"

"Training time." Grayheart smiled evilly. I shivered and looked over at the other apprentices. Redheart's apprentice was Orangepaw, I was Grayheart's apprentice, and Blackheart's apprentice was...Tabbypaw.

I almost fell over again. She was so pretty I could barely stand it. But I managed to block her out and keep training. Finally, us apprentices were told to go hunting together. It was a good break from the hard work. Grayheart told me that since we're so close to human land that we have to catch rats and mice because other animals just aren't around. I was happy to eat whatever was there...I had skipped breakfast after fainting over Tabbypaw. Tabbypaw...

I snapped out of it. I didn't wanna end up fainting AGAIN.

Tabbypaw, Orangepaw and I ran quickly down the side of the woods near the human homes to begin finding rats and mice. Orangepaw and Tabbypaw caught them easy, but I wasn't too good. When I finally caught my first one, I put it in my mouth and started talking.

"So how do these clans work?" I asked Tabbypaw and Orangepaw. They looked at me.

"Well," Tabbypaw said, "There's 4 clans. Fireclan - that we're in, Woodclan, Treeclan, and Iceclan. We hate Iceclan most of all. The others arent so bad, but none of us are really good friends. We all train and if we have to go to war well then, we do. I just wanna be a warrior one day to kill the Iceclan.. I hate them..." Tabbypaw had, not noticing, bit a hole in her rat.

"Its ok." I said. I gave her mine and took hers. She smiled then looked away. I figured it would make her like me more, plus, it was a free chance to eat! I quickly ate the rat and licked my lips. That helped my hunger by a little. The next two rats I caught I ate, then I stopped. I was finally somewhat full. I decided that I'd be able to finish back at the camp. So I gathered more food for the whole clan then ran back to camp.

We all began eating. Since we had been the ones to get the food, we got 2 extra rats which I took without stopping. I gulped them up fast. Then I was about ready to go to sleep. All the sudden, Grayheart came up to us 3 apprentices. He told us that we had to stand gaurd and watch anyone that came in. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open and now I had to stay up all night? I'm starting to think Grayheart hates me...

The only good thing was I got to watch gaurd with Tabbypaw. That might keep me awake.

I thought wrong. I could barely keep my eyes open as me and Tabbypaw sat snuggled together for warmth. I wanted to just fall asleep and I had a feeling she did to.

"Guys!" Orangestar screamed.

"What?" I moaned. I should of listened to him right away.

"I think we're being attacked!" He said. Me and Tabbypaw shot up in a second to see the whole Iceclan marching up towards us. I shook.

"What should we do?"

"Someone run and get Graypaw or Orangestar...go!"

I ran as fast as I could into the leader's den and screamed. "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Everyone in the den shot up and ran outside and the rest of the clan followed.

Suddenly Orangestar walked up to me. "Get inside!" He yelled.
