Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors.
BERRYPAW'S POV
Berrypaw stretched and blinked his eyes into the warm sun. This was the second day since Graystripe had returned, and the whole Clan was busy. Just yesterday, Sandstorm and Cloudtail had taken him on a patrol of the territory, and they didn't get back until Moon-high that night.
"Berrypaw, isn't it?" Berrypaw turned to find Graystripe staring at him. He dipped his head awkwardly. The large gray warrior chuckled.
"It's okay. I know how you feel. It must be strange, having me in the Clan –," Graystripe broke off, but Berrypaw knew he was going to say again. Another cruel reminder of how Berrypaw wasn't Clanborn.
"Hey, I don't have to go anywhere, so can you tell me some of these cat's names?" Graystripe prompted. Berrypaw nodded.
"Those two over there are my siblings, Mousepaw and Hazelpaw." He flicked his tail to two gray and white cats. One was large and bulky, while the other was smaller.
Berrypaw looked around camp. "That's Whitewhisker," he said, gesturing at a small white she-cat.
"Whitepaw?" Graystripe asked. Berrypaw realized that this was probably how he knew her before. He nodded.
"Um…Stormfur and brook, but you met them yesterday…" Berrypaw looked around to see anymore cats.
"Oh, right! The new apprentices!" Berrypaw flicked his tail at a bracken colored she-cat. "That's Honeypaw, one of Sorreltail and Brackenfur's kits."
He turned to a tortoiseshell she-cat. "That's Poppypaw, another of their kits."
Berrypaw searched the camp again. "Molepaw's out hunting, I'll show him to you when he gets back," he meowed.
"And…That's Cinderpaw," Berrypaw finished. Graystripe nodded.
"Thank you!" He meowed, the rushed off. Berrypaw saw him meow a quick congratulations to Whitewhisker, before disappearing into Firestar's den.
FIRESTAR'S POV
Firestar was dozing when Graystripe burst into the den. The flame colored leader raised his head sleepily.
"Yes, Graystripe?" Firestar asked, perking his head up when he saw who it was.
"Do you need me for anything?" Graystripe asked, happily.
"Actually, I was just going to send a patrol out, do you want to go with them?" Firestar asked. Graystripe nodded.
"Very well then," Firestar meowed as Graystripe left the den.
CINDERPAW'S POV
Cinderpaw crouched in the clearing. Firestar stood a fox-length away, eyes narrowed.
"Attack me," Firestar commanded. Cinderpaw lashed her tail back and forth as her mind raced.
She sprung forward and landed right in front of Firestar. The ginger tom clawed out at her, but Cinderpaw sidestepped quickly until she was behind him. She stuck her paw between his legs, and when Firestar turned to face her, he tripped and fell, limbs splayed out in all directions. Cinderpaw pushed his muzzle into the dirt, eyes shining with happiness.
"That was a great move!" Firestar meowed. Cinderpaw nodded.
"That's enough for now," he continued. Cinderpaw followed her mentor back to camp, happier than ever.
