I awoke the next morning to find that the only ones here besides me were Flamepaw and Shadowpaw. Goldenpaw and Windpaw must be on dawn patrol.

I decided to go visit my mom in the nursery. She'd given birth to more kits a moon after I was made an apprentice. I haven't really seen them much.

"Mom? It's me Mistpaw." I said as I got to the entrance.

"Oh come in dear."

I slipped in the narrow entrance to see my mom, Duskpool. Currently nursing, were two tiny kits.

"Aww so these are my little siblings?" I commented.

Duskpool purred. "Little brothers, to be exact." She prodded the pale gray tabby. "This ones name is Stonekit, and his black and silver brother is Nightkit."

Stonekit looked up at me with large amber eyes. "Who's that mommy?"

"I'm your big sister." I purred amused.

"We have a big sister? And she's already an apprentice? I'm jealous!" Nightkit exclaimed.

"Sis can you show us a hunting crouch?" Stonekit asked eagerly.

"Haha, looks like you're learning that they're quite the lively ones." Another Queen, Flowerdust remarked.

I smiled at the ginger queen. "Well pretty soon they'll be tired from apprentice duties."

My mom looked at me, her blue eyes curious. "Speaking of them, shouldn't you be on them?"

"Shinepelt hasn't given me any yet." I mewed, aware of Stonekit and Nightkit weaving around my paws.

"Well maybe you should go check." My mother said, grooming her dark gray fur.

I rolled my eyes. "Alright...see you later."

I padded out of the den searching for my mentor. I finally found her and walked up to her.

"Hey Shinepelt, what're we doing today?" I asked.

"Battle training. With Windpaw and Shadowpaw and their mentors." She replied, flicking her cream tail.

I nodded and followed as she padded to the training hollow.

Windpaw, Stormwhisker, Shadowpaw, and Cloudheart were already there.

"Sorry were late." Shinepelt told Stormwhisker and Cloudheart.

"It's alright." Stormwhisker replied in her gentle voice. I swear, Stormwhisker was the best mentor for Windpaw, she's almost as quiet as him.

"Okay, now that were all here," Cloudheart began. "Were simply going to be doing practice matches, one at a time. No claws and no hard biting okay?"

We nodded. "Okay, Windpaw and Mistpaw can go first."

The rest of the cats went to sit at the sides, leaving me and Windpaw in the middle.

"Begin." Shinepelt said.

I immediately sprang at Windpaw, which he sidestepped and used my momentum to send me to the ground hard. I scrambled to my paws and dodged a swipe from him. I swiped at his paws causing him to lose balance then I pinned him. He struggled at first trying to get me off but he managed to roll causing him to be the one pinning me.

Before I could even try to get him off, he got off all his own. I got to my paws and was crouched low, preparing to spring.

I sprung, but he was ready and ducked right under me then pinned me after I landed.

"Enough." Cloudheart mewed.

Windpaw got off of me and helped nudge me to my feet. "Thanks." I told him, to which he nodded simply.

"Okay, Shadowpaw and Windpaw."

I realized I was sitting this one out. I padded to sit beside Shinepelt.

(Windpaw's POV)

Shadowpaw glared at me. Oh what reason is it now? I wondered to myself.

"Begin." Shinepelt said

Shadowpaw charged at me and I braced myself to move. The second I sidestepped, Shadowpaw stopped his attack and pinned me, his paws on my neck.

"You may have gotten Mistpaw with that trick, but that's not gonna work." He muttered lowly enough for no one but me to hear.

Shadowpaw was far heavier then Mistpaw, I struggled to even move. I managed to push with my hind legs to get him off.

I scrambled out of the way of a swipe. I then sent one of my own which hit Shadowpaw's muzzle, not that it mattered, my claws were sheathed.

I jumped backwards from another swipe. He sprung at me and I ducked. But I guess that's what he wanted me to do, for before I could get up he turned and pinned me.

His paws were placed firmly on my neck and I started struggling to breathe.

"How does it feel, half blood?" Shadowpaw mocked lowly.

My breathing quickly turned into struggled gasps, for by the second, Shadowpaw increased the force on my neck.

"Shadowpaw, that's enough." Cloudheart commanded the tom firmly.

"Oh but I'm not even trying.." Shadowpaw whined. He then put, StarClan knows how much pressure on my neck.

I let out a struggled breath before I couldn't even take in anymore. Black spots danced in my vision but I made out Cloudheart grabbing Shadowpaw's scruff in his jaws and Shinepelt, Stormwhisker, and Mistpaw rushing over to me.

"Windpaw?!" Mistpaw said worriedly.

Stormwhisker and Shinepelt nudged me to my paws. "Are you okay, Windpaw?" Shinepelt asked.

I wish I could've talked but then I remembered my mom. I was only able to nod, but as I did, I collapsed on my side and my vision went black.

(Mistpaw's POV)

"Windpaw!" I cried out as he fell.

I crouched beside him. "He's unconscious."

"Okay." Shinepelt looked at Cloudheart, who still held a struggling Shadowpaw in his jaws. "Take him back to camp, we'll be right behind you."

Shinepelt and Stormwhisker lifted Windpaw onto their backs and followed Cloudheart as he walked back to camp. I followed from behind.

Once we got back to camp, Windpaw was taken to our medicine cat, Berryfrost's den.

I had to do apprentice duties, such as cleaning moss, searching for elder's ticks, and strengthening the border.

XxxxxxxxX

By sundown, Windpaw was back up and about again.

I saw him by the fresh kill pile and since I was done with my duties, I padded over to him.

"Hey you doing better?" I asked him.

He nodded before taking a bite out of a fish. I grabbed a small trout from the pile and began eating.

It wasn't long before Breezesong angrily padded over to us.

"Windpaw." She mewed curtly, anger evident in her voice.

I cast a glance at Windpaw who didn't return my gaze. He simply stood up and walked over to his mother.

I could tell he was trying to keep a calm expression. Breezesong definitely wasn't.

"Why did you do that.." She murmured angrily. When Windpaw looked confused she said a little louder. "I told you not to tell anyone!"

What was she talking about? I wondered. Wait...she couldn't mean that she knew about Windpaw telling me could she? We were completely alone!

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shadowpaw smirk. He must've been watching us and told Breezesong! Oh when I get my claws on him I'll—

"You couldn't even hold your own against your half brother." Breezesong spit bitterly.

I noticed the other cats were gathering around, including our leader Brackenstar.

"Breezesong what is the meaning of this?" Brackenstar questioned.

Breezesong turned to her leader. "My incompetent half blood son is weak. He passed out in a practice." She emphasized practice.

Brackenstar flicked his golden tabby tail. "Breezesong, are you overreacting a bit? That's what training's for. Windpaw will improve over time."

Shadowpaw spoke up. "Windpaw was fighting me too viciously. I only was trying to stop him."

I looked around for any of our mentors, but they must've gone on patrol. I decided to speak up.

"What're you talking about?! You were the one that attacked him first!"

Shadowpaw hissed. "You weren't in my place, you were only on the sidelines. Why don't we let Windpaw deny it himself?" Shadowpaw turned to Windpaw, a smug look on his face.

I found myself not being able to do anything.

Windpaw opened his mouth then closed it.

Breezesong growled. "See Brackenstar? He's a traitor."

Brackenstar didn't reply, his amber eyes were unreadable. Breezesong took that as him not caring.

She lashed out at her son, scratching her claw across his shoulder. Windpaw winced but didn't cry out.

"Get out." She muttered.

I gasped and opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't find the words. Brackenstar made no move to prevent what was happening.

Windpaw flattened his ears but made no move of retaliating. He turned and dashed out of camp.

"Shadowpaw come with me. We need to make sure he's gone." Breezesong told her son.

As they ran out of camp, I trailed after them.

(Windpaw's POV)

I kept running, my rage boiling inside of me. I couldn't believe this. Shadowpaw had always hated me but I didn't think he would go this far.

When I stopped to catch my breath, I was around the cave entrance that connects DawnClan and CreekClan. Or so I heard. The entrance looked as if it was about to crumble.

I heard a loud hiss and perked my ears. I looked to see my so called 'mother' and half brother running towards me.

I had little time to think. Honestly I wasn't even thinking. I ran into the cave entrance.

Breezesong and Shadowpaw must've wanted me to because they started digging into the entrance, weakening it. I didn't bother trying to stop them, I mean what was the point?

Just then Mistpaw jumped out of the bushes onto Shadowpaw.

She managed to make a few blows onto him before he pinned her, preventing her from doing anything.

Mistpaw cast a half worried half questioning look at me. I know she was trying to help me but let's face it: I was doomed from the moment I was born. Might as well join my father.

Breezesong finally hit a piece of earth that finally caused the entrance to really crumble.

I jumped back as a rock landed in front of me. The last thing I saw and heard was Mistpaw crying out my name.

Then I was thrown into darkness.
