Torn Threads

(( Ok, there is a story. Come on, can't you take a joke?))

Hollypaw walked out of the apprentices den, stretching her muscles. The camp was empty mostly. Most of the warriors were out on patrol or training. Jadepaw and Cloverpaw were out hunting with their mentors while Blackstorm, Redpaw, Rowanfeather, and Bluefur had led a patrol to check on the Windclan border. Treestar had gone out hunting by himself and Lightningclaw was in charge of the camp. Gingerfur and Lilyfur were talking outside the nusery while Snakefur was checking on one of the kits who had caught a thorn in his paw.

Lightningclaw walked over to Hollypaw. "Hey Hollypaw. Snakefur needs to get some catnip because Gingerfur was coughing earlier today. We don't have anything and one of the patrols say that Rippedclaw is heading over to Riverclan to get some from Streamhollow. Why don't you go along with them, it would be great exercise and all the other cats are busy."

Hollypaw's face lit up at the thought of going to Riverclan. "Sure Lightningclaw, when are we leaving?"

Lightningclaw let out a mrrow of laughter, "That's the apprentice we all know. Go talk with Snakefur, he should be leaving soon." She gestured over to Snakefur who was done with the kit.

Hollypaw nodded and walked over to the medicene cat. The black tom lifted his head when hearing Hollypaw approach, "Ahh, so you must be my traveling partner. Come on, let's go meet Rippedclaw." He finished with the kit and together, Hollypaw and Snakefur walked to Windclan's border.

They walked through the forest, watching as the trees thinned out, opening into the moors. Rippedclaw was waiting by the border. He was rocking back and forth on his paws, eager to get off. He looked up when Snakefur and Hollypaw approached, "Ahh, I see we have an apprentice joining us. Does Treestar think I'm going to ambush you just because he scented rouges on our territory, not his?"

Hollypaw ducked her head in embarrsment. She didn't want to be a problem. Snakefur chuckled, "Lighten up, Rippedclaw. Hollypaw is a fun little apprentice, much better company then you." Rippedclaw playfully aimed a swipe at Snakefur who ducked.

Hollypaw broke it up, "Hey, come on, lets get to Riverclan for that catnip." The two medicene cats nodded and the group headed to Riverclan's border. They walked along side the lake, watching as the tide rose and fell. The water splashing against the pebbles made Hollypaw relax. She enjoyed listening to the soft sounds of the lake and its water. Hollypaw stepped by the lake and dipped in her paw. To her her surprise, she enjoyed it's cool feeling on her fur and the way it swished around it. Why did the other cats dislike water?

Snakefur noticed Hollypaw standing still for a moment, "Come along Hollypaw. You wanted to get to Riverclan so quickly, so lets move on."

Hollypaw looked up at Snakefur and nodded. She took her paw out of the water and ran up to join Rippedclaw and Snakefur. They made room for her in between them. Together, the three cats walked to the Riverclan border. A patrol was by the border and looked up at the approaching cats.

One stepped foward, "Rippedclaw, Snakefur, what are you doing here," the cat asked.

"Easy, Tigerpelt, these cats mean us no harm. Jaguarstar said the leaders might send their cats over for catnip from Streamhollow. My name is Spottedheart. This is Tigerpelt, Forestnight, and Tallpaw. We'll take you to the camp," Spottedheart said.

Rippedclaw nodded and the patrol lead the way to the Riverclan camp. Tallpaw waited for Hollypaw and the two apprentices walked by each other.

"What are you doing here, Hollypaw," asked Tallpaw.

"Well, I was at camp and Lightningclaw asked if I wanted to go with Snakefur to go to Riverclan. I thought that I had nothing better to do, so I said yes," replied Hollypaw.

Tallpaw smiled, "Yeah right, Hollypaw. Anyone can see that you want to be a Riverclan cat. You talk like one and even walk like one."

Hollypaw smiled, "Is it so wrong that I want to be a Riverclan cat? I mean, you guys enjoy nature and beauty and the swish of the lake and water, and lets not forget you get to eat fish."

Tallpaw nodded, "I guess your right. Riverclan is pretty fun. Maybe I can show you around the camp once we get there, you know so you can see what it's like being one of us." Hollypaw nodded and they followed the warriors to the camp.

Snakefur and Rippedclaw went to find Streamhollow while Spottedheart, Tigerpelt, and Forestnight went to talk to a she-cat with orange paws and a red coat. Tallpaw flicked her tail towards the she-cat, "That's Flamefoot, the deputy. She's really good at fighting and hunting and likes to listen to everyone's side of the story before jumping to conclusions. Everyone knew she was going to be the next deputy."

Tallpaw pointed her tail to a group of warriors, "Those are the warriors, Mouseleg, Boulderfall, Bloomeyes, and Mudcoat. Mudcoat is the newest warrior out of them. They are pretty close friends, that group. Tigerpelt is a loyal warrior, but some people don't trust him because of his name. Spottedheart is a caring cat, but she is a feirce fighter. Most cats lose whenever they fight her. Forestnight is a cool warrior, he's funny and likes to help out everyone." Hollypaw nodded, all the cats in Riverclan were so different!

Tallpaw pointed next to some apprentices, "Those are the apprentices, Dreampaw, Spiderpaw, Swallowpaw, and Skypaw. Skypaw is usually the voice of reason whenever we come up with stupid plans. Dreampaw seems like she always has her head in the clouds, but she is a real good listener. She's Streamhollow's apprentice. Spiderpaw is just a guy you might wanna rip out his throat sometimes. Once you get used to his wise cracks and all that, he's pretty funny and cool. Swallowpaw is real ambitous and real comptiteve. He likes to be the best at everything. When he loses, not pretty. Swallowpaw is kinda cool sometimes and he is pretty nice."

Hollypaw nodded, "And what about Jaguarstar? What is she like?"

"Well, Jaguarstar was pretty much a born leader. She likes to be incharge and hates to listen. Jaguarstar likes to put her clan first always. She always stays calm and is able to keep everyone under control, which is why she is a great leader," Tallpaw explained.

"Wow, Riverclan is so well put together. Everyone has a spot and is perfect for their job," Hollypaw said, looking around at the camp.

"Hollypaw, lets go," called Snakefur. He and Rippedclaw had bundles of catnip in their mouthes and were standing by the exit to the border. A pile laided by them for Hollypaw to carry.

"Well, gotta go, see ya Tallpaw," Hollypaw mewed and ran off to Snakefur and Rippedclaw. She picked up her bundle and walked with the two medicene cats off of Riverclan's land.

So what did you think? I wanted Hollypaw to get to know Riverclan and all about it so she wants to join them. How will the siblings think about this when they find out. Lets not forget about Slashpaw and the information she has. So many questions and yet little answers. I'll post the next chapter maybe tomorrow or Sunday.
