A dawn breeze ruffled Hollypaw's fur. She was going on her first hunting patrol with her mentor, Mistfire and some other clanmates, not like she could remember over all her excitement. She was going to catch a giant fish that was going to feed the clan for days, well that was her goal anyway. Hollypaw trotted over to her mentor shaking in excitement. I'm going to be the best hunter in all the clans! she thought as she imagined catching a fish larger than herself.
"Time to go," Mistfire mewed as she started walking to the entrance of camp. The rest of the patrol followed her to the entrance. Hollypaw looked behind her to see who was in this patrol with her and her amazing mentor, there was Twigleaf, Shadedsong and Nightripple. All of them were great hunters and fighters, especially Shadedsong. She was so glad that such skilled warriors were in the same patrol she was in. We will feed the whole clan! she thought as she bounced ahead of the patrol.
"Fish, here I come!" Hollypaw exclaimed excitedly as she crouched beside the stream.
"Come on Hollypaw, you'll scare off all the fish! Remember your training!" Mistfire scolded as she and the rest of the patrol caught up.
"Oh, right," Hollypaw mewed, feeling more embarrassed than she ever felt in her life Well there was that one time when I was a kit when I snu... never mind. she thought, shaking the memory away. She looked around and saw the others fishing and scolded herself for being over confident. I could have made fishing a lot easier, now the patrol is going to bring back less fish than they would have! All because of me! she thought as she looked in the river. There were only small fish like minnows in the shallows, probably because of her big mouth.
When it was time to go back to the camp the patrol had only caught two fish that had enough meat to eat, the rest were minnows and other tiny fish. Hollypaw growled at her tiny catch and threw it on top of the fresh kill pile. She decided to not tell anyone that that was her catch and stomped into the apprentices den. She curled up and tried to sleep, when no sleep came she opened her eyes and looked around for one of her den mates to talk to. Reedpaw was asleep and Cloudpaw was nowhere to be seen. This is so pointless, I guess I'll just try to sleep again or I guess I'm a bit hungry so I'll go eat. she thought as she got up and walked towards the entrance of the den.
When she stepped out of the den she closed her eyes as another breeze ruffled her fur. It felt so good, it seemed to blow away all the embarrassment from earlier. She opened her eyes and bounce towards the fresh kill pile. The pile was almost empty besides the minnow she caught earlier and another small catch. She picked up her minnow and found a nice sunny patch of land to eat.
When she was finished with her meal she stretched and laid down thinking about how amazing life in RiverClan was. she looked up at the clouds and relaxed. This was great, laying in the sun putting all her worries aside, it was just great.
Just then a hunting patrol burst through the entrance of camp. Hollypaw was suddenly awake looking at the patrol, she looked at each of the warriors seeing Cloudpaw among them. "Why did you burst in like that?" Hollypaw yawned laying her fur flat again.
"Something... a blur... it attacked," Cloudpaw panted, out of breath.
"What blur?" Hollypaw asked, suddenly curious about what had happened.
"I'll tell you later," Cloudpaw breathed as Hollypaw watched him drag himself into the apprentices den.
"Well I guess I have to find out for myself," Hollypaw mewed to herself as she started trotting to the rest of the patrol. She stopped when she saw a shallow claw mark on Dewfoot's leg. Everyone was fusing about it though it wasn't even bleeding anymore. She cocked her head, feeling more curious than ever. Exactly what happened anyway? she thought, confused. She followed Dewfoot into the warriors den.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were in your den sleeping," Mistfire mewed as she spotted her. Hollypaw froze and turned her head to look at her mentor. "I was just visiting someone," she replied coolly, hoping that Mistfire would just leave her alone.
"Okay then," Mistfire yawned as she curled up in her nest and slept. Hollypaw sighed in relief and looked around for Dewfoot.
After awhile she found Dewfoot sleeping in the corner. She padded over to him and prodded him gently on the shoulder. "Wake up, I need to ask you something," Hollypaw whispered in his ear.
"Huh? Oh it's you," Dewfoot mewed as he woke up and looked at her.
"I need to ask you something," Hollypaw repeated, straitening herself.
"Okay I already got that part, ask away," Dewfoot mewed, sitting up and washing his paw.
"How did you get that?" Hollypaw mewed flicking her tail towards his kind-of-injured leg.
"Uh there was this blur..." Dewfoot began.
"Yeah, thanks!" Hollypaw mewed as she trotted out the warriors den. That's all the information I need. she thought happily as she headed towards the apprentices den. She yawned as she realized how tired she was. She thought of her nest and how soft it was going to be, she was suddenly confused at how she couldn't sleep before.
When she reached the apprentices den and entered, she dragged herself onto the nearest nest and flopped down onto her side and closed her eyes. Before she realized, she was asleep.
I'm sorry that this chapter is shorter than the last, there was some writer's block and other stuff. I'll try to get a new chapter up every Saturday or Sunday, maybe even Friday. Thanks again if you reviewed!
