Mapleleaf's Pov

Sun shine dance across the sand camp grounds. The dream had had yesterday still haunted me. Cinderpelt had said it was an Omen. What it meant? She never told me. I inwardly hissed at the dark grey she-cat for leaving me on a cliff. I was hanging on a cliff, losing grip, because she just wouldn't tell me! Although I do have a feeling that its right under my nose. Sleeping on it was out of the question. Yesterday's dream, I shuddered, if it came again I would claw my fur off for that pain.

Thornclaw came through camp, limping. After running over to him I gave his ear a soft lick. He let out a rough purr. "What happened," I asked, shocked. "He fell into the lake," came a stifled laugh. Brackenfur was keeping Thornclaw up, yet still as soaking wet as his brother. Sorreltail was at Thornclaws side, completely dry. Cinderpaw was right behind Thornclaw, trying to keep his tail up and off the sandy ground. "Hay," she mumbled through Thornclaws tail. "Well you get dried off; I need to take my apprentice out." He sneezed and Sorreltail, Brackenfur, and Cinderpaw steered him off to the Medicene cat den, where Cinderpelt and Leafpool were patiently waiting for their newest patient.

The flowers surrounding the Queen's den were blooming into sweet smelling roses. Thornclaw came by and licked my ear. "Dry now?" He purred and licked my back with his tail. His eyes were foggy. I couldn't tell what he was thinking about. "Wingpaw!" Wingpaw came trotting with Silverpaw and Featherpaw, her sister, towards me. "Yes Mapleleaf?" she purred. "Battle training, I'll go ask Whiteflight and Squirrelflight if you three can try double combat training." Their faces lit up. Thornclaw looked back and ran through the dirt tunnel.

I padded over to Squirrelflight and Whiteflight . . . Firestar really needed some lessons on naming warriors. Whitesnow, is a much better and fitting name for Whiteflight, her cool yet kind personality. They nodded, hearing what I said to the apprentices. We padded along to training hollow, the apprentice chatting happily. Training Hollow was a sandy clearing. "Promise to never hurt each other?" asked sweet little Featherpaw. They all turned around and intertwined tails, "Promise." They went off into as usual. "You go Wingpaw," I shouted. Silverpaw and Featherpaw got together with Wingpaw at the other side. "Ready," I whispered. "Set," meowed Squirrelflight. "GO!," yowled Whiteflight.

Silverpaw and Featherpaw rammed into a smaller Wingpaw, well tried to. Wingpaw jumped up causing both Silverpaw and Featherpaw to ram into the ground. Wingpaw hit the ground and turned and put her paw to Silverpaw. "Silverpaw is out!" Featherpaw lashed her tail angrily at what Squirrelflight yowled. Featherpaw jumped up and onto a nearby tree, Wingpaw knowing what she was going to do side stepped, as an angry Featherpaw hit the ground where Wingpaw was a minute ago. "
Wingpaw wins!" I screeched. Silverpaw got up with Featherpaw and congratulated their sister. "Renember Featherpaw do not get controlled by your anger, anger blinds you from the obvious. You could have hit where Wingpaw moved but you hit where she was a moment before you leaped." Squirrelflight instructed Featherpaw. Featherpaw and Squirrelflight padded away saying it was time to leave for some rest.

I saw Thornclaw go to the warriors den. I followed him and rested my head of his shoulders. I drifted into a quiet sleep. I felt a rustle under me and saw that Thornclaw was heading out of the tunnel. I followed him to the Shadowclan border where I smelt another sent. In the spot light there stood, Rowanclaw(she-cat). Thornclaw padded up to her and purred. I stepped out of the shadows when they started to clean each other. "You cheating on me with her? After what I did for you? I killed you once and I'll do it again." I leapt at Rowanclaw and killed her, same with Thornclaw. My heart had already shattered.

"I hate her. Thanks for getting rid of her." He let out a rough purr. There ahead of me sat the most handsome tom I had ever seen. He had glossy pitch black fur with gleaming blue eyes. Not lazy green eyes like Thornclaw, Bright shining blue eyes. "It was no problem, he broke my heart." I sat down and we just talked. It was nice. I told him everything. He was so easy to talk to. He told this what the omen about the thorn in my claw meant. He told me about his life. His name was Smokepaw. His mother, Bird a rouge, left him at the Shadowclan border when he was only a 1 moon old kit. I saw the sunrise and we were still talking. I had never felt something like this; I thought as he pressed his warm pelt against mine as a farewell. "See you again," I asked, sad to see him go. "Yeah tomorrow, moon-high." He padded out into the dence forest of his.

I padded though mine, catching 2 mice. I ran into camp "THORNCLAW IS DEAD!" I yowled. "what?" Brackenfur asked, as did Cinderpelt. "I found him on the upper border near the twoleg nests. He was lying there with a bite mark on his neck." I sobbed, not in my heart though. In my heart I was joyful not only had that I meet Smokepaw but that he helped me move him all the way to the upper border. "I'm so sorry," Larchwing said as he pressed his pelt against mine. Lionblaze came up to me and he licked my ear for comfort. After a while mourning had passed, they buried his body and everything was back to normal . . . almost. Lionblaze followed me to the warriors den. And lay down next to me, curling up next to me, our pelts touching. Why is he doing this? When I woke up.

I woke up to the smell of fresh mouse. I looked up to see Lionblaze with a mouse over me "Want some?" he asked nicely. We shared the mouse and he left for sunrise patrol. Larchwing came running towards me, happy as can be. "Hollyleaf is going to have my kit, MY KITS!" he bounded up and down. "Great! I wish I could have kits that will be as beautiful as yours." I said after a while of thinking and calming him down. Lionblaze was talking to Jayfeather and a happy Hollyleaf and turned around to smile at me. I renember that day to.

"Traitors?" Hollypaw exclaimed. "We should have killed them!"

"That's why Maplepaw and I exiled them!" Larchpaw boasted to the she-cat.

Maplepaw stood and listened from outside the den. Hollypaw didn't know she was there, so she quietly listened.

"Good! They deserved it!" Hollypaw meowed. "I'm proud of you, Larchpaw! I knew that you were awesome!"

"Really?" Larchpaw asked, sounding surprised.

Maplepaw closed her eyes, she knew what was coming next.

"Yeah, Larchpaw, actually..."

"Eavesdropping, are we?" Lionpaw asked her.

"SHHHH!" Maplepaw hissed. She sighed when she realized that Larchpaw and Hollypaw hadn't heard.

"I'm just kidding. But I want to listen as well." Lionpaw meowed.

Maplepaw nodded, closing her eyes again as Lionpaw stood at the other entrance of the apprentice den, neither seen nor heard by Larchpaw and Hollypaw.

"Hollypaw, I..."

"Larchpaw..."

Maplepaw padded over to the fresh-kill pile, Lionpaw right behind her.

"Why did you leave?" he asked her.

Maplepaw found a vole and handed it to Lionpaw. "Figured I'd leave the two love birds alone for a while." she replied, trying to find a good, plump mouse for herself.

I missed those days. So simple, so sweet. Lionblaze grinned, seeing what I saw.

Lionblaze's Pov!

"Traitors?" Hollypaw exclaimed. "We should have killed them!" my sisters sweet voice rolling.

"That's why Maplepaw and I exiled them!" Larchpaw boasted to my sister.

Maplepaw stood and listened from outside the den, opposite of me. Hollypaw didn't know they was there, so he quietly listened. Maplepaw's sleek pelt glimmered with the smell of forest, but she would never like him, she liked Thornclaw.

"Good! They deserved it!" Hollypaw meowed. "I'm proud of you, Larchpaw! I knew that you were awesome!" my sister has no clue what coming.

"Really?" Larchpaw asked, sounding surprised.

I saw Maplepaw closing her eyes. I closed my eyed. Dreaming, of a sweet scent of forests wraping itself around me.

"Yeah, Larchpaw, actually..."

"Eavesdropping, are we?" I asked Maplepaw. Hoping she would come near me, so I could smell her foresty scent more.

"SHHHH!" Maplepaw hissed. She sighed when she realized that Larchpaw and Hollypaw hadn't heard. No she didn't come.

"I'm just kidding. But I want to listen as well." I meowed. Hoping she wouldn't leave.

Maplepaw nodded, closing her eyes again as I stood at the other entrance of the apprentice den, neither seen nor heard by Larchpaw and Hollypaw.

"Hollypaw, I..."

"Larchpaw..."

Maplepaw padded over to the fresh-kill pile, me right behind her.

"Why did you leave?" I asked her. I hope it wasn't because of me.

Maplepaw found a vole and handed it to me. "Figured I'd leave the two love birds alone for a while." she replied, trying to find a good, plump mouse for herself. Thank goodness she is so . . . perfect.

I missed then. I still loved her. Her and her perfection. Congratulated Hollyleaf and went over to Mapleleaf. I was gonna tell her. "Mapleleaf, can I talk to you. Alone." She followed me into the forest. "I have to tell you something." I began.

Mapleleaf's pov.

OH Starclan. I've seen this before! I couldn't run though. Some part of me wanted to stay. "I love you," he blurted out. I saw his hoped go up as a smiled widely. "Me too," and I did. I loved two people. No Smokepaw was just a friend. I twined tails with him and we came through camp. Everyone staring, id didn't care though. But still. I felt safe and protected with Lionblaze. He glowing golden fur. His warm amber eyes. But Thornclaw image kept pushing in my mind. Every time it left, it came back harder.

Sorry guys but Thornclaw is so boring! C ya next time xD
