Sorry, guys. I just had to take a break, mostly because I've half-way lost interest in Winged, but it won't happen again! So here, for you beloved followers, a new chapter!

I own my characters, except Spottedpelt! I do not own Warriors! I also added a new character in: Clashswipe

INFO ABOUT CLASHY!

Name: Clashswipe

Gender: Tom

Looks: Light brown with a dark brown belly and paws. He has lush, forest-green eyes.

Apprentice: Dapplepaw!

Clan: RiverClan

Personality: Dark, mean, evil. Only kind when he sees his apprentice do perfect.

Dapplekit- Now Dapplepaw- was going on her first expedition to RiverClan hunting grounds: also known as the lake. Her mentor, Clashswipe, led her to the sunny shore silently, eyes slitted. She never understood him; so quiet and mean. But she was glad she got him. He was strong and well-taught. "So, um, Clashswipe," She started nervously. He turned his annoyed gaze on her. "What?" he snapped.

Her pelt burned with anger, but she kept her cool, because she was also a bit afraid of him. But Dapplepaw shouldn't be; clanmates don't attack clanmates. "I was wondering: whats the best technique of catching fish?" Clashswipe sighed, muscles rippling. "You can't learn that yet! You must learn the basics. Then I'll teach you the tricks." If only you knew. I do know the basics! The StarClan tom taught me! She thought, irritably.

They reached the shore. He glared at her, flicking his tail at the lake. "The apprentices like to show off. Show me what they have taught you." Clashswipe said, dimly. Dapplepaw's heart, fluttered with hope. She could impress him- show him what the StarClan cat taught her! Copying the mysterious StarClan's toms actions, she silently padded to the lake.

The water lapped gently at her paws as she watched for prey. When she caught sight of a fish, she swung back, hiding her shadow. In a quick movement, she flashed her paw in, and hooked a medium-sized fish out. It was almost as big as her! Dapplepaw nipped its neck quickly, making it stop flapping around. Clashswipe nodded. "Good." He praised.

"It was good," He repeated, swinging his gaze to the lake. "But you need to be quicker." In the blink of an eye, he swiped out a fish, and nipped its neck cleanly. "Like that." Clashswipe mewed, showing off his catch. Without given an order, Dapplepaw turned to the lake, and did like him. She flashed her paw in, but missed, and scared fish away.

Clashswipe hissed. "Great!" He growled, raking the ground with his claws. "Now you've scared the fish! What are we going to do now, bringing back two fish?" Dapplepaw shrank back, afraid that his claws would shred off her ears. "The Clan needs to be fed, not starved!" She dangled her head. "I'm sorry. I'll try better next time." She promised. I promise to never allow my Clan to starve. She vowed silently.

"Sorry doesn't catch fish." He mewed, a bit softer. "Now, get your prey. We're going home, and you should rest." She gave him horrified eyes. "But I'm not tired!" Clashswipe whipped around, glaring at her with cold, amber eyes. "I will not train an apprentice who fails to hunt!" She bowed her head, dragging her tail. "Straighten up, Dapplepaw!" He growled. "RiverClan cats do not sulk about!"

Dapplepaw straightened her head, and sped away to camp. She did not want to talk to him anymore. She crept into the apprentices den, and curled into her nest.

~~~The Next Day~~~

"Okay, so! Mistystar has assigned me to pick the patrol today." Clashswipe growled to the lined up warriors and apprentices. "Dapplepaw, of course, will come. Icewing, you come. Troutpaw and Graymist. Pouncetail, too." The called on cats gathered around Clashswipe. Pouncetail stared at Clashswipe. "Where are we taking the patrol?" He mewed as the uncalled warriors and apprentices broke away. Dapplepaw's mentor mewed smoothly, "We're taking the path to WindClan and coming back."

Pouncetail nodded, and started walking beside Icewing. Clashswipe lead the silent patrol toward WindClan. Dapplepaw noticed Pouncetail walk uncomfortably. She walked toward him, sneaking away from Clashswipe. "Whats wrong?" She whispered. Pouncetail didn't look at her. Anger pricked her pelt. "I said, whats wrong?" Dapplepaw mewed slightly louder. He flicked his ear in response.

Why won't he talk to me? She thought, angrily. She nudged him with her paw. "Leave me alone!" He hissed quietly. Feeling slightly hurt, she went back to Clashswipe. She walked beside Troutpaw. She smiled cheekily at him. "Hi, Troutpaw!" Dapplepaw mewed. Troutpaw smiled. "Hi. Hows your training going?" "Good. Hard, but good. Hows yours? Aren't you going to be a warrior, soon?" He nodded. "My trainings great, and yes. I wonder what Mistystar will name me!" He purred, excitedly.

She smiled warmly, and licked his ear. "With Graymist's mentoring, you'll be a great warrior!" He nodded. "Graymist is a great mentor."

I know its not a lot. I'm just trying to get back in the groove of writing. And, aww! Looks like Dapple has a friend! And Clash- he's just so... Clashy! XD See you guys later!
