"I can't believe this!" Lionpaw exclaimed to Berrypaw. They were heading for ShadowClan territory for her first badger hunt. She had convinced Grassear to let Berrypaw come along for the ride. "If I do this, I'll be a hero!"

"Um, do you mind if I go off, you know, to do something?" Berrypaw asked.

"Sure, go ahead." Lionpaw mewed. "But next time, if you decide to join me, I'll protect you from the badger."

"Okay, see you later." Berrypaw ran off, leaving Lionpaw alone near the Thunderpath tunnel into ShadowClan territory. She took a deep breath and walked into the tunnel. It was dark, cold and damp. The melting snow had turned the dirt under her feet into mud and slush. Her body mass took up the width of the entire tunnel, and she still felt squished. On the other side, it was marshy and damp. She was surprised how ShadowClan cats could find any prey there. Out from behind some bracken came a small patrol of cats. One was white with large black spots; the other was a white tom with black stripes. She had never seen them at the last gathering. Horsepaw was there too.

"What are you doing on our territory?" The spotted one hissed.

"Now that's what I'd like to know!" The striped one spat.

"Um, I don't think we've met." Lionpaw stammered. "I'm Lionpaw. I have permeation to be here."

"Yeah right!" The spotted one smirked. "ThunderClan scum."

"Cowpelt, she's telling the truth!" Horsepaw prodded at the spotted tom, "She has a right to be here! Venomstar said so at the gathering!"

"Which we had to miss because of those rat bites," The striped one grumbled under his breath. Cowpelt shot him a sharp glace.

"Snakestripe, stop complaining!" Cowpelt growled. "It was your idea to go hunting in Carrionplace in the first place!"

"Yeah, blame it all on me, why don't you." Snakestripe mumbled in annoyance. This time Cowpelt ignored him.

"Well, let's take you to Venomstar, just in case." Cowpelt flicked his tail and turned around. Horsepaw and Snakestripe followed, Lionpaw padding along close behind.
