A half a moon later…
"Stonepaw! Snakepaw! Dovesong! Ivyclaw!" The clan shouted the cat's new names. The four cats looked on proudly. They were taking this all in with much excitement.
Later that day….
Nightpaw was out hunting alone. She had decided to add to the fresh kill pile. She has decided to hunt near the SkyClan border. Nightpaw crouched, spotting a mouse. She adjusted her stance and put one paw lightly in front of the other. There was a rustle. The mouse, alerted by the sound, fled. She had forgotten to keep her tail down and it had brushed the leaves of a holly bush.
Mouse dung!
Nightpaw was only a fox length away from the border now and something caught her eye. Only a few tail lengths past the border, she spotted the black tom she had seen earlier at the Gathering. He was crouched down as if he was hunting too. Nightpaw stepped forward to get a better look.
Crack!
She had stepped on a twig. The black tom looked up.
"I'm sorry," Nightpaw said.
"That's okay," the black cat said. He walked up to the border. "My name's Ravenpaw." He sat down.
"My name's Nightpaw," she said, walking up to the border to meet him. Nightpaw sat down in front of him.
"You seem pretty nice for having a cat from a different Clan so close to crossing the border. Especially from a clan you never even knew existed a moon ago," Ravenpaw said mischievously.
"Right back at you, and besides, you're on your side of the border," Nightpaw pointed out.
"I think that we could be good friends if we knew each other better," Ravenpaw said, while trying to edge closer to her without crossing the border.
"Yeah, if only we weren't in different clans," Nightpaw said disappointedly.
"Mouse-brain! We could meet here every so often, and our Clan would never know," Ravenpaw told her excitedly.
Nightpaw pondered this. "Okay, sure. Let's meet here in three days at moonhigh."
A moon later….
Nightpaw had been seeing Ravenpaw for a moon now. She really liked going to see Ravenpaw. her was fun to be with. Nightpaw looked around the clearing for her mentor.
"Nightpaw over here. We're doing battle training today," Whitewing said as Nightpaw turned around to face her.
Whitewing led Nightpaw to the training hollow. "Watch this.' Whitewing quickly lashed out with her forepaws. She jumped high over an imaginary foe. She turned around and lashed out with her forepaws again, only to end by quickly running past the side of her foe, paw out so that her claws would have slashed her foe's pelt. "Now you try."
Nightpaw tried to copy her exactly. Whitewing looked shocked when Nightpaw had finished.
"Did I do it right?" Nightpaw asked, worriedly.
"Perfect. Practice it a few more times and then you can go back to camp.," Whitewing replied before walking off. After practicing about five times Nightpaw decided she wanted to go hunting. She took off toward Sky Oak.
Nightpaw walked back to camp with a huge rabbit in her jaws. She dropped the large piece of prey on the fresh kill pile. She chose a mouse for herself and sat down outside the apprentice's den to eat it before curling up in her nest.
