~Chapter One~ Dawn rose to the sky. The deputy went to the apprentices den. "Adderpaw! Mudpaw! Waterlily and I are on a patrol, and we want you to come with us.

The deputy's apprentice sprang out of bed. She licked her golden fur and said,"Sorry about that, Featherstorm." She mewed. Featherstorm licked his apprentices head and asked, "Could you get Mudpaw up? I know he's a sleeper."

Adderpaw laughed. "Sure, Featherstorm." She mewed. She patted over to her denmate and yowled, "Get up Mudpaw!"

All of the apprentices woke up, everyone scared. Mudpaw was just annoyed by Adderpaw. "What Adderpaw! Its like.. midnight..." he mewed. He blinked a couple of times to get the blurr out of his eyes to see that it was dawn, and the deptuy.

He tumbled out of his mossy nest. He took some of the moss from his family's dens after they died. He still smelt them in the moss, and he could here them talking. After he was awoken, he mewed, "What do you need, Featherstorm?" He asked.

Featherstorm laughed. "Your to sleepy to hear orders? Waterlily and I want you on dawn patrol, around BerryClan border." He mewed.

Adderpaw licked Mudpaw. "Come on! It'll be fun, and we might be able to fight BerryClan warriors!" She mewed happily. She patted along to her mentor with Mudpaw behind her.

Waterlily was waiting at the enterance of the Clearing. She saw the three walk up to her. "I thought I'd be waiting for moons!" She laughed.

Featherstorm didn't smile. "Enough fun for dawn, now lets get on that border. BerryClan could be up to trouble." He mewed, and walked along.

Peachstar looked at Featherstorm, and said, "Thanks for setting up the dawn patrols." She smiled at the two apprentices.

Adderpaw and Mudpaw smiled back. "We'll rip the fur off of any BerryClan cat who sets a paw on our territory!" Mudpaw said. Adderpaw nodded.

Peachstar nodded."I'll be in my den if you need me, and if you could, try to get some prey, cause we're running out." She said, more loudly, so the cats in the clearing could hear. She patted along to her den.

Mudpaw and Adderpaw ran to the border with their mentor's on their they got there.

Adderpaw sniffed in an area. "I don't smell any BerryClan warriors!" She whispered.

Mudpaw sniffed another area. "I smell some, its a patrol! Hide!" He whispered. Featherstorm and Waterlily hid behind a bush while Adderpaw and Mudpaw peeked out of a path of trees. The two apprentices saw they past and got out.

Adderpaw looked at her paw and said, "I think I got a thorn in my paw!" She looked at her paw, seeing a shiny gray line.

Mudpaw nodded. "I'll get it out." He mewed. Adderpaw stood with her paw still. Mudpaw took one of his paws to grab her paw, and the other to carefully get it out.

Adderpaw yowled, "OUCH!" After she was relaxed, she mewed, "At least it didn't hurt, much." She said.

Waterlily came up to Adderpaw and licked her."Its okay, Adderpaw." She mewed. She smiled at Mudpaw's friend.

Featherstorm looked at them. "Maybe we should look around the border somewhere else. Come on,dawn is almost ending, and the sunhigh patrols will need to be sent out." He mewed, and walked along.

Waterlily followed the deputy, with Adderpaw and Mudpaw chasing her.

Mudpaw said, "Don't go so fast!"As he ran closer to his mentor.

Featherstorm stopped. "Do you smell any BerryClan? We're close to camp, so I hope not." He mewed.

Mudpaw and Adderpaw walked around, sniffing the air. "I smell a warrior!" Adderpaw warrior was on WhiteClan territory!

Featherstorm and Waterlily looked, it was Darkeye! An warrior of BerryClan.

Mudpaw and Adderpaw unleashed their claws. Featherstorm got in front of them. "Why are you here?" He hissed.

Darkeye hissed, "I want to talk to Peachstar." The balck she-cat tried to walk forward.

Mudpaw hissed, "No cat on BerryClan talks to Peachstar!" He yowled. He jumped onto Darkeye, ripping into her spine.

Darkeye tried to yank Mudpaw off. "Get off, fox-dung!No cat messes with Darkeye!" She hissed, tried to get him off harder.

Mudpaw fell onto the ground, but Darkeye was still bleeding. He did it! He had made a warrior bleed!

Adderpaw hissed, "You didn't just hurt Mudpaaw, did you? Cause messing with Adderpaw is worse then messing with Darkeye." She grabbed Darkeye with one paw and pushed her face with the other.

Darkeye fell down as Mudpaw reached into her throat, making her choke. Adderpaw noticed she only had one more good eye left, so shestuck her claw into the other one. Darkeye's eye was bleeding and it closed. It was blinded.

Darkeye could barley breathe, and she was choking out blood because of what Mudpaw did. "StarClan light your path... tell BerryClan I'm off to StarClan..." She mumbled and rolled into a ball. She was dead.

Mudpaw and Adderpaw smiled. "We did it! We kept Peachstar safe!" They said happily.

Featherstorm and Waterlily smiled. "Great job!" They both wagged his tail and said, "Lets get home." He stomped off, with Waterlily carrying Darkeye's body.

Peachstar saw them arrive back with the dead cat. "What happened?" She demanded.

Adderpaw stepped up and said, "Darkeye was going to kill you! So me and Mudpaw killed her!" She mewed.

Peachstar nodded. "Great! You could grab some fresh-kill and sleep for a while. I'll return Darkeye's body.

Mudpaw licked his brown fur and went to the fresh-kill pile. He grabbed a robin and headed for his den.

Adderpaw walked up to the fresh-kill pile. Her mouth watered when she was a new vole. She grabbed it and patted after Mudpaw.
