A/N: Ok, this chapter ain't gonna be about ThunderClan. Instead, it will be about ShadowClan! Then my next chapter will be about RiverClan, then back to ThunderClan. I'm kinda ignoring WindClan, I know. But, they will come in eventually. O yeah, this takes place during the 5 chapter. So, disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I own the cats.

Slashpaw sat down with Arrowpaw outside the den. They were watching Robinpaw listening to Pebbleheart. "Why did she have to be a medicine cat," mumbled Arrowpaw.

Slashpaw looked at him, "Are you going soft? If you want a mate, then get one that wants to be a warrior. She rather be all caring and look after all of the cats instead of killing, hunting, and patrolling."

Arrowpaw nodded, "Well, I guess your right. We are ShadowClan after all, the fiercest Clan of all four. The purest blood and able to slash any enemy with tooth or claw."

Slashpaw smiled, "Now you are catching on. I better go, Hawkstar is back. Remeber, you need a real warrior for your mate." She walked away with her tail held high.

"Here you are Slashpaw. Today, I am going to give you a special mission. Go to the ThunderClan border and wait there and see if any cats come for the Sunhigh patrol. If your information is good, they should be too worried about rouges to patrol our border," instructed Hawkstar when she saw her apprentice.

Slashpaw nodded, "Of course. What will we do if they don't come?"

Hawkstar smiled evily, "That's where the fun begins."

"May I bring along Arrowpaw?"

Hawkstar shrugged, "Ok."

Slashpaw ran over to Arrowpaw and told him what she was doing. He quickly finished his rabbit and together the apprentices raced to the border.

At the ThunderClan border, Slashpaw paused. "Scent is still stale. They haven't come yet."

Arrowpaw looked up, "Maybe we can hide in that tree. The flowers will hide our scent."

"Good idea. And ThunderClan think they are so smart," Slashpaw meowed and together, they climbed the tree and hid deep within the flowers.

The Sun was soon threatning to dip into the hills, when a rustle on the other side came. Slashpaw pressed herself against the branch.

A black cat raised his head, "Hmmm. That's weird."

A grey cat said, "What, Blackstorm?"

"Well, the ShadowClan scent is over the border," answered the cat called Blackstorm.

A smaller cat, an apprentice, smelled the air, "It does. Bluefur, is this normal?"

A brown and black cat answered, "No. Remeber what I said, Leaf-bare brings trouble within the Clans too."

"Your right, Rowanfeather. We better report this to Treestar," said Bluefur.

Slashpaw watched as the ThunderClan cats walked off. She waited until the rustling finally died down before speaking, " Stupid ThunderClan cats. They are too stupid to smell any fresh ShadowClan cat scent. Also, Arrowpaw, I told you that crossing the border line wouldn't be a big deal. It turned to our favor."

Arrowpaw shrugged, "Whatever, Slashpaw. Those ThunderClan cats really need to be taught what being a real warrior means. Come on, let's go report to Hawkstar, she'll find this news intresting."

The two apprentices walked off to their camp. It was then that Slashpaw realized that the apprentice in the group had been the one she had gotten information from. He is going to be useful, she thought with a smirk.
