Chapter 3
Windpaw trembled with excitement as Onestar declared her mentor. "Windpaw, your mentor will be Swallowtail." Windpaw strolled over to her new mentor trying to be mature. She touched noses with Swallowtail. "Now Windclan will depart for the gathering." Onestar announced. "Windpaw get some sleep." Swallowtail's order was one even headstrong Windpaw obeyed easily, for she was very sleepy. On her way to the apprentices' den she saw a silver glint in the heather around the camp. She decide to check it out. Pushing her nose into the heather Windpaw saw a silvery colored scale, stuck into the ground. It was very pretty, and Windpaw decided to keep it. Grabbing the scale in her teeth, Windpaw yanked it out of the ground, and lay it on it's side under the heather. Pulling her head out of the heather Windpaw nodded with satisfaction, and headed back toward the apprentices' den. When Windpaw walked into the apprentices den she curled up into the nest she had made earlier and fell asleep.
Stupid dream of last night. Windpaw though grumpily as she blinked away her dream. Stretching lazily, Windpaw was wondered if it was worth the effort of getting out of her nest when Swallowtail called "Come on Windpaw, we're patrolling the borders, and hurry, 'cause I'm kinda impatient." Grumbling Windpaw climbed out the apprentices den the silver glint catch her eye again. Making a face at it she padded after Swallowtail, who was headed toward the entrance to camp. Windpaw was not going to admit it but she was excited to explore the territory. "Ok, we'll start with the Shadowclan border." Swallowtail said decisively, turning her paws in a south-easterly direction. "Ok. Don't care." Windpaw said with an air of unconcern. Padding lazily after her mentor Windpaw could see Onestar's logic in choosing Swallowtail as her mentor. Windpaw was a notoriously lazy young she-cat, and the elders often commented, calling her an elder in a young body, and Swallowtail was a brisk, no nonsense she-cat, who hated to be kept waiting, and got things done quickly. Onestar's wanted her to 'cure' Windpaw's laziness. Good luck with that Windpaw thought with a smirk, for she was as headstrong as she was lazy, and didn't like taking orders. Glancing at Swallowtail, who was conversing with Downpaw's mentor, Gorsetail, her brother. Windpaw walked up to the end of the conversation; "Please hurry, you know I hate to be kept waiting."
"Yeah, yeah."
"So what we gonna do with our sibling mentor-apprentice duo?" Windpaw's comment was rewarded with a 'seriously?' look. "Where do you come up with these things Windpaw?"
"Dunno."
"Uhh." Rolling her eyes Swallowtail shifted from paw to paw. This is a drag Windpaw thought sardonically I'm so board I want to imitate Swallowtail at this moment Windpaw's hyperactive sister, Downpaw, came racing across the clearing with Gorsetail trailing behind her. Windpaw was the exact opposite of her sister, who was always bouncing off the walls. "We're gonna go see the territory, we're gonna go see the territory, we're gonna go see the territory, I'm so excited!" Downpaw sang as she bounced around. Windpaw muttered some curses at her foolish little sister. "Hehem, language please." Swallowtail said crisply. Windpaw glared at her, and the cursed at her. Windpaw was rewarded with a claw jab to the ear, for her words. "Ok let's go" said Swallowtail. Everyone nodded. "We're patrolling the entire territory." Swallowtail continued. Let's go."
"Ok."
