The winning name is Puddlemist. It's only mentioned once this chapter (she'll appear later).It was hard to choose. Let me just say that everyone who sent in a suggestion, thank you! You rock! I would never have gotten around to a name without you. Maybe later I'll let you choose stuff like that again. You've earned it by showing me you pay attention. Anyone who likes Spikefur (he was Spikepaw), this chapter is a must-read. It's his POV.

Chapter 10: Hear No Evil

Spikefur wandered around the camp, trying to make it look like he was doing something when he wasn't. He didn't feel like dealing with his mentor, the elders, the cats on the morning patrol, or those on the hunting patrol. That basically left strolling around the camp or hunting on his own. He would get started hunting soon on his own, but for now he just wanted to see what was going on…

"Spikefur, instead of walking with no place to go, why don't you go join the hunting patrol?" suggested Redpelt, a young she-cat warrior. She was walking out of camp and into the forest with Puddlemist.

Dang.

Spikefur sighed and went along with the hunting patrol. Spikefur had a problem with all the cats in the patrol: Hawkfur (too bossy), Tawnythorn (doesn't he ever smile?), Badgerpaw (the new hyperactive apprentice of Tawnythorn), Midnightpaw (creepy cat), and her mentor Darkbranch (Spikefur didn't really have a problem with him; he just wanted another reason not to join the patrol). Spikefur thought that now that he was no longer Spikepaw but Spikefur he should at least decide what he wants to do a little bit. He even loved his new warrior name. Spikefur, SPIKEFUR, Spiiiikefuuuur.

He sulked as he joined the team and made a mental note to ditch them for the first whiff of prey. Lucky for him, this opportunity came quickly when he caught the scent of a rabbit. As he crept into the bushes, he spotted his prey. The rabbit must've also quickly caught his scent because he took off in a flash. Spikefur was running after it in his own little race, and losing. When the rabbit seemed to have a hopeless gain, Spikefur gave up and turned back toward his hunting group. All of the sudden, he heard a noise in the pink rose bushes next to him. "Ooops!" he thought. "I'm in FlowerClan territory! I should get out of here, fast as lightning!" And he was about to escape, but he heard two cats talking and mentioned the word "TreeClan". So Spikefur decided to stay behind and listen for a while.

One cat was a young silver-colored tom with a guilty look on his face. "But I thought you said I could! You said…"

"I know what I said! But you took it to the next level. I said you could hunt on the border edges! Not go into the thick of enemy territory!" replied the older tom next to him. Spikefur recognized him as Cricketstar, the leader of FlowerClan.

"I could handle myself if I get caught! And I did!"

"Being found by two foolhardy she-cat apprentices does not count as being caught."

The silver tom sighed. "Look, I'll be more careful next time. And I will remember the other thing you said to do…um…what was it?" He tried to lighten that up with a sheepish grin.

The bigger cat looked like he was about to strike the silver tom. "I told you to watch the TreeClan cats in their movements. Their 'powers' in trees is not a birth trait. It must be a trick somehow, in the movements of their feet and tails! You are one of our quickest, slyest warriors, Swiftfoot. Now start acting like it!"

Swiftfoot nodded his head with a forlorn look on his face.

Meanwhile, Spikefur could not believe his yellow-furred ears. Spying on TreeClan! The nerve! But in the midst of his anger, Spikefur felt a bit of fear, too.Spikefur dashed back to camp as fast as he could, no longer feeling like the brave and powerful Spikefur. Spikepaw, the small, unknowing apprentice was back again.

Well? What did you think of the first official Spikefur POV? Tell me what you think, should there be more of him or is he a jerk? If you do like him, though, he'll be on hiatus for a few chapters. He'll be back, don't worry. Oh yeah, and I'm sorry about the very slight (you might not have even noticed it) delay. There might be more of that, I'm busy lately.
