"Bah, it's nothing much. i'm sure Pearlstar will take us next time." Aquapaw nudged around in her moss and snuggled into a small and tight ball, then closed her eyes happyly and fell asleep.
"Blackpaw, do you think we're the only apprentices?" Goldenpaw shifted into a sitting postition. "We are the only apprentices." Blackpaw responded, treading towards the center of the fern where his nest was. Sunny's eye dropped and she yawned. Her mouth thingled with the delshious flavour of the food. since it was night time, she letted her mind wander, afterall, the time when she sleep is like a free time from hunting. Goldenpaw told herself-It's just a little while longer. She took her time and thought of the things she had done, and then letted herself think of the days before she met Leafclan.
She was born a small little hamster, almost the size of a small moth. Her fur was not yet there and she was hungry almost all the time. Goldenpaw took a minuet or two and thought about her mother and her brother and sister. Then she remembered the wailing that she heard when she had just gotten her fur. Her mother cried, some of her siblings had died. She then remebered many childhood things, and then she slowly drifted off to sleep, but she had one question on her mind- What's Shimmer and Dewy, her older brother and sister, Doing?
"Goldenpaw!" Goldenpaw was in a beautiful meadow. grass tickled her sides and the wind blew in her face, she felt happy. But, she turned to the voice. It was the cream hamster she had seen earlier when she killed a snake. "Creampetal?" Goldenpaw squeaked, around her, a questioning scent shrouded her. "Your clan is in great danger. All the clans but yours is safe." "WHY?" Goldenpaw asked, she now had a little more feeling for this clan and felt every need to protect it, she no longer felt as if Leafclan was just a whole bunch of hamsters, this was her clan. This was like her new family. "There is a monster out there. It seeks you for prey.Leafblossom and you are the only two who knows." "Hey! why do I know and not pearlstar or someone that is powerful enough to kill it?" Goldenpaw argued back. "He will know, but... We want YOU to kill it." "Why me?" asked Goldenpaw eagerly, she felt small and a bit useless since she wasn't a warrior yet. "In fact what is it?" "It does not matter, you will know when you see it. There is one more thing that dangers your clan, stay alert for-"
"Get up lazy and useless oversleeping idiots! Time to hunt, i expect you to bring back a bunch of food! GO!" Shadowleaf's grumpy voice boomed throughout the fern, waking even ashpaw and blazingpaw on the other side of the fern. "But i'm hungry!" Groaned Blackpaw. "Grab a quick little snack and then hunt you fools!" Shadowleaf ran off.
"Gosh! tell me he's having a few bad days! i just hope he's just been eating bad bugs because if a hamster's having a problem, they will act different. and problems are not good for the clan." Aquapaw mumbled just loud enough for the apprentices to hear, and not blackpaw. "Nice wake up call you have there!" Laughed Blazingpaw, "Just be sure to turn down that alarm of yours. He's a little too loud." Ashpaw crept up, "i hope you have a nice day..." He nervously walked back to his nest to nap until firetail wakes them, Goldenpaw remembered he was one of the nervous hamsters at the naming cerormony. But, he was nice, and not teasing like blazingpaw..
Goldenpaw trotted off towards the food, grabbed a handful of ants and a Clumpberry, then headed towards the thorny fort. Along the way, she popped the ants in her mouth and chewed quickly, then finnished it off with a delishous scarlet Clumpberry.
Hunting was fine that day, since she didn't bother to see what Aquapaw did, She gathered more freshkill than usual and faster. But the thought of her dream lingered in her mind the whole sunrise, She wondered what Creampetal was going to say.
