Chapter Three:

Chemicals React

Thanx Reviewers!

Cloudpaw awoke in an unfamiliar den, and than remembered he had been apprenticed just last night. Fernpaw, Ashpaw, Brightpaw, Thornpaw, and Swiftpaw all slept peacefully beside him. He stood up, and padded out of the den. Fireheart and Sandstorm were sharing fresh-kill, and Cinderpelt was collecting herbs, her blue eyes were crying for Yellowfang, the old medicine cat had died in a fire that raged through the camp. Brackenfur was settled in the corner of the camp, talking with Whitestorm. Brightpaw padded out behind him, and unthnkingly, he licked her, and nuzzled her pelt. Brightpaw was a bit a bit shocked, and than returned his greeting. Does he love me? Brightpaw wondered.

"Cloudpaw! Let's go training!" called Fireheart. Cloudpaw followed, and Brightpaw ran to her mentor, Whitestorm.

"Come on, Brightpaw. I'll show you the borders," mewed Whitestorm. Brightpaw nodded, and followed her mentor out of camp. Brightpaw was shown the borders of the territory, and, was taught the scents of other Clans. Some time after Sunhigh, Brightpaw and Whitestorm returned to camp to rest. Brightpaw and Cloudpaw talked and shared a vole.

"I love you," mewed Cloudpaw. Brightpaw was shocked. She glowed, and than mewed,

"I love you too, Cloudpaw." the two apprentices finished the chaffinch, and intwined their tails, padding off to the apprentices den.
