Chapter 3

Leafpool woke up confused until she remembered that she was a Windclan cat now. Crowfeather beside her stirred.

"I need to organize patrols and you need to learn about Windclan's ways," Crowfeather said after he yawned.

The couple stretched and padded out of the den to be greeted with cats ready to do patrol.

"Nightcloud you lead a hunting patrol by the Thunderclan stream. Take Gorsetail, Leaftail, Crouchfoot, and Larkwing. I want a full pile of fresh-kill," Crowfeather meowed before turning to Sedgewhisker, " you take Leafpool, Owlpaw, Weaselpaw, and Furzepelt and patrol the borders. The rest of you can go on patrols later, and since all the apprenticeship are out some of you will take care of the elders. "

"Wait you're not coming with me?" Leafpool asked.

"Nope, I need to talk to Harestar. Besides if I come along you wouldn't pay attention, you would be too busy staring at me," Crowfeather said.

Leafpool lowered her head as amused purrs rippled through the clan.

"I will see you later," Crowfeather meowed as he touched noses with his mate.

"Leafpool we're waiting," Sedgewhisker said as she waited by the camp exit.

The five cats made their way to the Shadowclan border.

"Why do we have to patrol borders with a Thunderclan medicine cat?" Owlpaw whispered to his brother.

Yeah she can't fight or hunt, even if a rabbit laid in front of her paws begged her to, " Weaselpaw snickered. The two cats laughed.

"I think maybe you to need to learn some respect," Sedgewhisker growled, " When we get back you can bet that you won't be practicing battle moves this afternoon. You will be taking care of the elders, I am sure Crowfeather will agree with me. "

The apprentice's eyes went wide as they thought about what Crowfeather might do to them after talking about his mate like that.

"Sorry Leafpool, it won't happen again," Weaselpaw said. Owlpaw echoed his brother.

" It's fine, " she meowed.

They reached the Shadowclan border.

"I know you know Shadowclan's scent so you know where the border lies. Shadowclan keeps trying to take this stretch of land so we need to watch it carefully," Sedgewhisker meowed to Leafpool.

On their way back to camp Furzepelt noticed a rabbit and looked at the patrol leader.

"We aren't hunting but we won't say no to a little bit of prey, it will also give Leafpool a chance to see how we hunt rabbits. I will go with her," Sedgewhisker said.

The two cats went on opposite sides of the prey. Suddenly Furzepelt charged at the startled rabbit and chased it into a bush where Sedgewhisker was waiting. Leafpool heard a shriek. Sedgewhisker came out a moment later holding the rabbit in her jaws.

"Lets go back to camp before this rabbit gets cold," Furzepelt meowed to Leafpool and the apprentices.

The cats made their way back to camp. They saw Nightcloud's hunting patrol, each cat carrying a piece of prey. Nightcloud was holding the biggest squirrel Leafpool had ever seen. They let Nightcloud and her patrol enter the camp first.

Leafpool walked into camp and looked for Crowfeather.

He must be out on patrol Leafpool thought. She decided to eat but was stopped by four kits.

"Is it true that you used to be a Thunderclan medicine cat?" A smoky she-cat asked, wrapping her tail neatly around her paws.

Leafpool nodded, " Yes it's true. "

A brindle kit came to Leafpool, " We heard about Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather are yours and Crowfeather's, is that true too?"

Leafpool nodded and laid down. The gentle tabby let the kits climb on her as she told her story.

"I fell in love with Crowfeather when I was a medicine cat apprentice. We ran away together but then met a badger who told us that badgers were attacking our camp. Crowfeather and I returned to the clans and my mentor Cinderpelt died. I knew I had to stay or else Thunderclan wouldn't have a medicine cat so Crowfeather and I said goodbye."

As Leafpool continued her story the kits were listening and hanging on to every word.

Leafpool finished her story when Heathertail came out of Harestar's den," Sorry Leafpool, Harestar needed to talk to me and I thought it was going to take a few heartbeats but it turned out longer.

"I enjoyed it, your kits weren't any trouble. If you need I can watch them any time," Leafpool purred.

"Kits what do you say?" Heathertail prompted. "Thank you for the story," the kits said in unison. "You are very welcome." Heathertail nodded then swept her kits up with her tail back into the nursery.

Leafpool got up and stretch her muscles sore from all the walking. Crowfeather came into camp in front of a hunting patrol. He was carrying a large thrush.

" Take the fresh-kill to the elders then you may eat and rest, " he ordered.

Crowfeather then noticed Leafpool and made his way to her. Sedgewhisker stopped him in his tracks and growled softly to him. Crowfeather nodded and then picked up his thrush that he put down. Crowfeather laid the fresh-kill down on the ground and touched his nose to hers before laying down after Leafpool did.

"How was the tour?" Crowfeather asked as he tore off the bird's wing and gave it to Leafpool.

"I like it, there was so much to see and I also learned how to hunt rabbit." Leafpool reported.

" I heard Weaselpaw and Owlpaw were being rude to you, " Crowfeather snarled.

"Calm down they didn't mean any harm they were just teasing."

Leafpool looked up from the bird and noticed the apprentices had worry in their eyes. Leafpool's warm gaze locked with theirs. She gave a tiny nod to reassure them.

Crowfeather and Leafpool finished their meal and started sharing tongues. The moon was rising as the couple sat there looking at their warrior ancestors. As the moonlight shined on the cats, Crowfeather noticed Leafpool's pelt was turning a silvery color. After a few more heartbeats the couple went to their nests and fell asleep purring.

In Thunderclan

"I'm sorry Squirrelflight but Leafpool's scent ends in Windclan." Bramblestar told his mate.

" Noooooooo! " Squirrelflight wailed.

"We must attack Windclan, it is clear they stole her!" Lionblaze snarled ready to rescue his mother, " Windclan is to blame!

I Hope you are all enjoying my story.
