Hey, sorry if last chapter seemed abrupt...I just wanted to move the story along. I didn't have a lot of time to writ this chapter, so sorry it's so short.

There wont be a chapter until after Christmas.

I hope you enjoy chapter 11!

Chapter 11 This is not good!

I could see the mouse sitting on the leaf. The, cold, wind blew towards me, and I knew it would never smell me coming. I kept low to the ground and got ready to pounce. This is it! Without another thought I pushed myself forward and leaped onto the mouse, killing it with one blow. I was proud, but then I realized how small it was.

"Good catch, Hopepaw." Longwhisker limped towards me. I placed the mouse down and sighed.

"Thanks Longwhisker, but look at how tiny it is," I stated. He rolled his eyes then gave me a stern look.

"Prey is prey," he stated. "Leaf-fall is swiftly approaching, so we'll need all the prey we can get." I flashed him a grateful look. "C'mon, let's go bring it back to camp. If you feel well enough to keep training, then I'll take you on border patrol," he said.

I nodded and followed him back to camp. ...I hate to say it, but I find life more...enjoyable with Longwhisker as my mentor. I still want to prove myself to Bearclaw though...

"Stop!" he hissed. I turned and looked at Longwhisker. I dropped the mouse swiftly and tensed up.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Do you hear it?" he whispered. We went silent and listened. ...Yowling? He looked in the direction of camp with caution. "Leave the mouse and follow me, but don't make a sound." He silently stalked towards the camp and I followed close behind. The noise got louder as we approached the camp.

"It is yowling," I murmured. The scent of blood and fish hit my nose, so I tensed up ready to run.

"Listen, we are going to go into battle," he hissed. I looked at him in shock. Why is this happening! The day was so nice today! "Fight as hard as you can." He crouched down about to lurch forwards. "Hopepaw, if you don't think you can win...then run," he meowed.

"...What?" He gave me a stern look.

"You heard me," he muttered. "Attack!" he yowled. He lurched into the camp as fast as lightning. I unsheathed my claws and ran after him.

The clan was full of cats tearing each other to shreds. There's no time to even think! Just attack any Riverclan cat! Powered by those thoughts, I pounced onto a golden cat, who I think was called Lionbreeze.

I dug my claws into his shoulders and tried to bite into his neck; however, he was able to turn and claw me off. He jumped onto me, and his weight almost crushed me.

"You killed my sister," he hissed. I kicked into his belly, but it didn't seem to greatly affect him. His claws tore into my chest, but I did manage to claw his face a few times.

"Get off!" I hissed. One of my claws managed to get his eye, causing him to back up in pain. I pounced on him again, but this time I was able to tear his ears. I didn't get time to rest, for another cat had pounced on me.

"Kit thief," he hissed. He had me pinned on my stomach, so I couldn't do anything to attack him. I need to do something! I yowled once I felt his teeth rip into my pelt. There was nothing I could do.

"Hopepaw!" Suddenly the weight of the cat was lifted, and I was able to gasp for air. I forced myself up and turned around. Sharppaw was fighting the Riverclan leader himself! With a hiss, I bit into his leg and clawed at his belly while Sharppaw fought head on with him. Somehow, he managed to shake us off.

"Retreat Riverclan!" he yowled. He didn't run right away; he just stood and glared at us.

"Take your dead and get out." I slowly turned to see Robinstar stagger towards us. Lizardstar stayed still while his warriors ran. "Or stay here and face my wrath," she hissed. "For laying a claw an my kits!" If I wans't in so much pain...I would be in shock. Robinstar didn't look like herself anymore; she looked... she looked truly wild.

"We'll get them back someday," Lizardstar spat. He slowly backed away then ran as fast as he could. I stared at the entrance for a moment before lying down.

"A-are you okay Sharppaw," I gasped. My wounds were bleeding badly and my vision was starting to turn black.

"Y...s" I panted heavily. Why is this happening? I couldn't help but think.

"Your time is starting now." I know that voice... Isn't that the voice from my dream? "Five must become six," he whispered. I managed to nod once before my vision faded completely.
