Chapter 5

"Redpaw!," Leafpaw prodded the small tortoiseshell tom, "Wake up!" Redpaw shook and he woke up. "What happened?" Redpaw stood up and fell back to the ground. "You fell and cut your paw," Leafpaw examined the apprentice's paw, "It's pretty deep and you lost a lot of blood."

"I'll go get some herbs," Leafpaw headed towards the crack in the rock that shows all the herbs, "Don't move!"

Redpaw tried to stand up again, Come on! He slowly got to his fours, Nice and easy. He was able to stand up all the way, a huge grin spreading across his face. I did it!

Can I walk?

He tried to take a step forward but a mew had interrupted him. "What do you think you're doing," Leafpaw returned from the rock with Cinderpelt by her side, "I told you not to move!"

Redpaw rolled his eyes and he laid back down. "You certainly are stubborn," Cinderpelt examined his paw, "You weren't as a kit."

"I have to take things serious, I will be a warrior soon." Redpaw responded, trying not to be stubborn.

"Well, you have to have fun as well," Cinderpelt stifled a laugh, "Otherwise, you end up like grumpy old dustpelt." Redpaw laughed, that cat certainly was grumpy. "Okay, stay still while I put this on the wound." Cinderpelt rubbed the material on his injured paw.

"Okay, stay here for the night." Cinderpelt headed back to her den. Redpaw laid down and rested his paw across his face.


"Redpaw," Spiderpaw prodded the young apprentice, "Wake up, we have to go on the dawn patrol."

Redpaw slowly got up and yawned, he looked around him. Wow, it's early! None of the other apprentices had awoken. He left the den and headed towards the camp entrance. "Hey Brambleclaw." Redpaw bowed his head to his mentor.

He gave a brief nod to everybody else on the patrol. "That was nice," He heard the harsh mew coming from Cloudtail. Redpaw noticed Brambleclaw turn and give Cloudtail a sharp look, Ha take that!

Ever since Redpaw had became an apprentice the senior warrior had never took a liking to Redpaw. I can prove to him! I can be the greatest warrior! Redpaw thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Brackenfur.

"Mouse," Redpaw lifted his nose, he scented it too, "Coming from Shadowclan." Brackenfur headed in the direction of the rocks. How can he detect where it is so fast? Brambleclaw must of read his thoughts, "The mouse has a little scent of Shadowclan." Brambleclaw explained.

Redpaw nodded his head and followed Brackenfur, "We have to hurry," Cloudtail took the lead, "You know Shadowclan, they probably already caught the mouse." Cloudtail snarled. The group followed the long-haired tom.

When they reached the border there was no sign of Shadowclan any where, "I swear I smelled Shadowclan," The golden brown tom looked around, "There is no cat in sight."

Redpaw padded around the thunderpath, he smelled a familiar scent. Mother. "I know who it is," Redpaw trotted back to the group, "It's my mother and someone other cat named Shadow." Brambleclaw walked over to the thunderpath, "He's right, this is the cat that I told Firestar about."

The whole group walked along side the thunderpath, the scent was getting stronger and stronger. "They're on their way to Shadowclan," Cloudtail set his blue gaze on the other side of the thunderpath, "That's their problem now."

"We should check around twoleg place" Brackenfur started heading in the direction, "These could be the rogues that Firestar warned us about." My mother, she would never be evil.

The patrol walked close together, they approached twoleg place. "I'm going to check out the row of houses." Redpaw said. Brambleclaw nodded and Redpaw branched away from the group and went to explore by himself. He sniffed around for a little bit, he found no trace of the other cats. He decided to check around a little bit longer.

He walked close to the big red structures. Wow, I use to live in one of these? He wrinkled his nose in disgust, how can any cat bare to live in that piece of junk. He brushed against a long row of wooden pikes stuck in the ground. He continued walking and soon he came to the end of the row. He sighed, he came this far and found nothing.

He started to head back to the patrol, staying close to the wooden pikes. He soon started to pick up the scent of blood, cat blood! He began running, he closed in on the group and it seemed everything was fine.

"Is everybody okay?" Redpaw met the group. "Yes, why?" Brackenfur set his gaze on the young apprentice. "I smelled cat blood," Redpaws fur bristled, "It came from the row of houses." Brackenfur took a few steps forward. "Probably just a mouse-brained kittypet." Spiderpaw growled, obviously directed to Redpaw. "Well, we should probably get back to camp now." Cloudtail turned and headed back to the camp, everyone followed.

But it wasn't a kittypet.

Redpaw pricked his ears, who had said that. "What did you just say?" Redpaw asked the group.

"Nobody said anything," Brambleclaw turned his head to Redpaw, "What did you hear?" Brambleclaw asked.

"It was nothing," He looked back at the houses, "It was just my head."
