Chapter 2
Grasspaw slept fitfully in the night. His dreams were plagued with images of Yarrowpaw, A warrior, battling with the Current apprentice Ashenpaw. Grasspaw was there to, But He could do nothing.

"Grasspaw! Grasspaw!" Ashenpaw was screaming. "Grasspaw!"
"Huh? Wha?" Grasspaw sat up. He was No longer suspended in the moment of battle, but curled warmly in his den. Pinewhisker was standing over him. "Grasspaw, Wake up, We have a busy day ahead of us." Slowly Grasspaw got up and stretched. The fear in his dream was fading and he looked forward to the challenges of apprentice-hood.
Once he exited the den, he was surprised to find it was a chilly morning. He shook himself to get warm but nothing seemed to help." It will get warmer later" Meowed Pinewhisker "But don't worry, you won't notice." Grasspaw padded over to his mentor and looked at him questioningly. "Ok..." Pinewhisker started "Today I was thinking we take a small patrol Across the Burrowclan Border and then Hunt a little. After that we'll see if we can squeeze in some training. Sound good?" Grasspaw nodded. "Well then let's set off!"
After scrambling out of camp, Grasspaw and Pinewhisker went with quick pace towards Burrowclan terrortory. "Pinewhisker?" Grasspaw called out. "Yes?" Came the reply." What did Burrowclan used to be called? Wasn't it like Nightclan or something?"
Pinewhisker slowed down a little. Letting the apprentice catch up."Close." He meowed. "It was called ShadowClan. Haven't you heard it in Elders tails?" Grasspaw tail Twitched. "Yes, but just bits. The elders say it's a Grand Story And is such an Effort to tell." He looked hopefully to his mentor. "Fine. But were not stopping. Try to keep up."
"Well... Where to start?" Pinewhisker Meowed." Well, I guess we can start with the original four clans. No Not the four Great Clans, But the ones that settled here.
At first there were four clans. WindClan, RiverClan, ThunderClan, and ShadowClan. And for Many, Many season cycles they lived in peace. But then one day, a thick fire Swept through Windclan territory. The cats were devastated. You see, WindClan cats were Very lean because they mainly hunted Rabbits, So when All there prey was killed in the fire, They had no way to survive. Firstly they went to Riverclan but there Leader, Snowstar; Said That It would be unloyal To Care for another clan. Starclan Punished them By Sending clouds to cover there Territory for many moons until they were Starving because of there lack of fish. Snowstar Found it simple to change to Cloudclan. Ah, Were Here."
Grasspaw had forgotten that he was even on a patrol He was just envisioning the lean Ashen Cats approaching the great Snowstar only to be turned down. And then Seeing Starving Sleek pelted Riverclan cats howling at the sky for rain.
"What happened to the river? The lake? Riverclan?" Grasspaw asked.
"The river shriveled, the lake shrank, And Riverclan, after admitting there wrongs, Changed there names and ways. Starclan then sent Mutch rain and prey for them. I shall tell you the rest of the story later. Now, The border..."
For the rest of the day Grasspaw was kept buisy. He learned to Catch Voles, but could find none. He then learned How to defend himself in battle and where the border Of Burrowclan was. By the time he reached camp he was all but dead on his paws.
"You did well today Grasspaw. Go Get some fresh kill and rest. You have earned it."
Grasspaw nodded and headed toward the pile. Still no Rabbits. "Hey Grasspaw!" Grasspaw picked up a thrush and turned. Ashenpaw was loping across the clearing at full pelt. Grasspaw Jumped aside as the small ashen tom tried (Failingly) to stop. Once Ashenpaw regained his footing he started talking in jumbled sentences." Wow! Todaywasgreat! Taverntail took me out hunting! I Caught a Bird! A real one! Then he taught me this!" Before Grasspaw could blink Ashenpaw Had leapt into the air and landed on top of the fresh kill pile.
"Ashenpaw...Ashenpaw! Calm down. I get it! You had fun! But you cant keep going at this rate. Now breathe... Don't you want to hear about my day?" Panting, Ashenpaw Nodded."Well, lets go over here then. Come on! I've got a story to tell!"
The two apprentices settled themselves comfortably on one of the ledges around the camp." Today Pinewhisker and I were just supposed to go check the border of Burrowclan. But then, I asked him something about ShadowClan, You know, the old Burrowclan?" Ashenpaw nodded. "Well, I bugged him enough and he told me a little about the can history. Apparently, Elders were more willing to tell a story back then!" He stopped to let out a purr of laughter, but Ashenpaw wouldn't allow it." So what did he tell you?" Ashenpaw demanded.
"He told me about the great fire and..."Grasspaw told the whole story from memory and by the end he could tell He was in big trouble." So the leaden of Riverclan decided to change there name to Cloudclan." He was right. By now, Ashenpaw's eyes were bigger then moons. "And..?" He asked in a voice as soft as kits. Grasspaw rubbed his ear irratibly."Well...Then we arrived at the edge of the territory and Pinewhisker stopped."
Ashenpaw could have exploded." What!?! That's unfair! I need to know the end! Grasspaw!!!" He moaned. Grasspaw purred. "Don't worry, I will! But you better act better than that! Dont you want to go to the Clan Meeting?" Ashenpaw stopped howling. Grasspaw Sniggered. He liked how Ashenpaw was like that, on and off. Often Rusttail Said that Ashenpaw was a copy of his father. Unfortunately, they had never known him. His father, Snakefur, Had been killed by a vicious, Disgusting, And All around horrible creature called am wolf. Often Grasspaw and Ashenpaw asked for descriptions of wolves by any Clan members But they all just shook there heads saying that they werent old enough to know.
"Grasspaw-Hey-Grasspaw!" Grasspaw snapped his attention back to Ashenpaw. "Lost ya' there for a moment." Ashenpaw purred. "So, do you think we'll be going to the Clan meeting?"
Grasspaw Considered this. He didn't see any reason why he wouldent, but the fight between Ashenpaw and Yarrowpaw Could have been enough to suspend them.
"I Dunno. I guess we'll both have to be extra good huh?" Ashenpaw nodded, and then went into the extremely Long story about his day. Grasspaw yawned. The clan meeting He thought. Wow.
