Back at camp honeypaw watched as foxkit scramble happily across the camps clearing and looked at the pond.

He looked cautiously at the shallow depths of the glistening water and dabbed at it with his paws. He squeaked with joy as the water plopped back down on his nose.

Honeypaw laughed when his sister came up behind and whispered "boo" and he fell into the pond . then he turned around and playfully started batting her with his paws.

Honey paw was sunning herself the next morning when she felt the urge to go out in the forest and walk. She figured she would hunt or watch the border with

Shadow clan and river clan as she thought about that she said to herself " you cant trust shadow clan as mach as a tick on your shoulder."

At the thunderclan border with wind clan she sented shadow clan "ha I was right I cant trust shadow clan!"

She quickly sped up and climbed a tree watching and waiting. Then she heard the voice of shadowclans warrior snowfur and the unmistakable scent of ashclaw.

"ashclaw we really shouldn't be here he whined" "come on whats life worth if you cant live a little" he joked.

As they ventured deeper into the thunderclan territory snow fur left, "probably chickened out" mumbled honeypaw.

But in this case it helped her. Honeypaw leapt down from the tree silently following ashclaw then she leapt on him as he started stalking a mouse.

"what are you doing in thunderclan territory?" she hissed through clenched jaws. She had felt the muscle under his pelt, she knew he was a full trained warrior and

she was an apprentice. "reow!" ashclaw hissed in surprise. "chh like I have to explain to a mite like you" he said mockingly.

"unless,….unless you would like to talk about it over a,mouse perhaps"? he ventured knowing his sleek pelt, and broad muscles would capture the females eye.

Unfortunately for him honeypaw knew what he was like and was sickened at the thought of eating even near him!

"Fox dung" she spat at him as she lunged at him. She raked her claws painfully across his side. He hissed and did a powerful back-kick sending honeypaw

flying backwards and landing awkwardly. "reow" she yowled a rage filled cry and took her claws into his shoulders buried deep down.

With feeling her claws sunken into the flesh she ripped it while lunging forward. Ashclaw let out a sharp yelp of pain. "back off buddy" she growled through

clenched teeth. "when iam through with you, you will regret the day you ever set foot on thunderclan territory"!. With that she turned and swiped at him he yowled

in pain is she brought it down his leg. He lunged at her making sure he wouldn't miss he aimed at her for a terrible wounding bite.

"Get off of me you horrid lump off useless fur". Honeypaw was more scared than anything he was about to give her a bite, one that she would

remember through out her whole life and possible the last few seconds of it.

Then, all the sudden she felt the weight lift. She jumped up ready to see what saved her, only to see thornclaw pinning ashclaw down

With his clothes dangerously close to his neck. Honeypaw saw that thornfang was whispering something into ashclaws ear, she could'nt make out what ashclaw

Spat back. She watched as thornfang bit into ashclaws shoulder till he yowled like a newborn kit and ran off.

"That's right" honeypaw yowled after him. "Keep running and don't come back you mouse brain"!

"What happened" thornfang meowed very concerned. " I cought this mouse brain on our territory near windclan's border" honeypaw said proudly.

"Well" thornfang meowed camly, "If he comes back, he wont get away so easily."
