In two days, Mosspaw' sore paw healed completely. Jayfeather took the bandage off of her, and she was allowed to prowl the forest again, like a warrior.

"Wait, Mosspaw!" Lionblaze and Firestar padded up to her.

"Yes. What is it, Lionblaze?"

"I think you are ready. Today, you are going to have your hunting assessment!" Mosspaw let out a squeak in joy.

"Lionblaze will be watching you. You have until Sunhigh to hunt. You are going to hunt by the ShadowClan border. But not too close." Firestar mewed. Mosspaw nodded her head and walked into the forest. Once at the border, she sniffed. She smelled a family of grown mice nearby. Carefully and quietly following the scent, she found it. A family of six mice was huddled together under a tree root. Quickly, she ran up and pounced. All the mice were killed in a matter of seconds. Dragging them out, she buried them by the tree. She continued hunting.

Next, on a tree, sat a chubby squirrel. It was busy stuffing itself with walnuts and other things. Crouching behind it, Mosspaw jumped. The squirrel was dead.

While trying to catch a shrew, Mosspaw jumped into a bush. There, she was tackled by an unknown cat.

"Foxcatcher! Is that you? You came home!" Mosspaw exclaimed. Foxcatchers eyes gleamed.

"No, my dear. I am going to return. This," Foxcatcher sunk his claws into Mosspaws fur. She tried to let out a squeak, but his paw was over her mouth. "is for all the pain you made me go through. And this," he licked her cheek. "is cause I still love you. Be with me, or else."

"No, Foxcatcher! I don't love you! You would have been my best friend in the clan!" Mosspaw hissed. She managed to get on her feet. "Come back to ThunderClan!" She felt pity when she saw how wild his eyes were, how unkempt his fur was. His eyes, he really did love her.

"Never!" He hissed. He ran off. Mosspaw prayed Lionblaze didn't see that. She continued hunting, but this time, she watched her back.

After hunting, Mosspaw caught seven mice, two squirrels, one vole, and two shrews. She looked at the sky. Sunhigh! Trying to pile all the prey at once in her mouth to carry back, a voice sounded behind her.

"Need help?" Icefrost was looking at her.

"Thanks. I finished my assessment, and I need help to carry all this prey."

"Well, looks like you did a fine job!" Icefrost purred. She helped Mosspaw carry the prey. Once back at camp, Lionblaze greeted them.

"Good job, Mosspaw! You caught so much! I am very impressed," Lionblaze mewed.

"So am I. Well done, Mosspaw. We shall have your ceremony soon." As Firestar walked away, Mosspaw jumped in the air. She was having her warrior ceremony soon! Lionblaze rubbed his muzzle on her and purred. She meowed in excitement and went off to eat some prey with Lionblaze and Icefrost.

"Well done, Mosspaw! When you move in to the warriors den, I suggest you make your bed away from Dustpelt. He thrashes in his sleep." Icefrost mewed.

"Thanks! Oh my StarClan, I am so excited! I wonder what Firestar is going to name me?"

"You never know until the ceremony. And, after that, you must keep a silent vigil." Lionblaze meowed. Mosspaw nodded. She took a bite into the mouse she caught. The flavor was overwhelmingly good.

"Whoa! For the end of Greenleaf, this mouse is delicious! Have a bite!" Passing the mouse around, Lionblaze and Icefrost agreed. They mumbled with their muzzles full, shaking their heads.

"Good catch, Mosspaw! All I caught today was scrawny squirrels!" Icefrost exclaimed. Mosspaw let a meow in pity and took another bite. The mouse was delicious. But then, wind ran over the mouse. She saw the flesh get torn away. But then, a shadow covered it. The mouse was still intact, and the wind receded. She heard Lionblazes voice.

"Mosspaw? Hello?"

"Did you see that?"

"See what. You were staring at that mouse of yours."

"Oh, well. Icefrost, there is something I want to tell you. It's a pretty big secret."

"Tell, me Mosspaw."

"You are one of my closest friends. You know, when I disappear. I visit my mother in my clan, BloodClan." Icefrost stared in amazement as Mosspaw, with the help of Lionblaze, explained everything.

"Wow, Mosspaw. All those times I wanted to go hunting with you, you were watching and taking care of your kin."

"Icefrost, this is a big secret. I need you to keep it!"

"I will, Mosspaw."

"Good. I am going today. You want to come?"

"Sure!" The two shecats bid Lionblaze goodbye and padded to the BloodClan camp.

"Fern? Sun, Ice? Bark, Stone? Are you guys there?" Bark and Stone wriggled out of their dens. As they licked Mosspaws face, she introduced Icefrost. She dipped her head.

"I am ready for more training!" Mosspaw exclaimed.

"Come on then!" Stone chuckled. Mosspaw followed Stone to the training area. Quickly, she dug up her claws and collar, and placed the collar on. Stone lent his to Icefrost, so she trained with the group. The two arrived back at camp before sundown.
