Pashpaw anxiously picked around in the bushes, trying to find a decent amount of moss for bedding. He was out with his mentor and leader, Fernstar, and his fellow apprentice Blackpaw. As well as his mentor, Finalember.
"You see Pashpaw, this is where Flashpaw supposedly spotted StoneClan patrols. He has been known to lie a lot. Though, we still haven't seen any sign of Silverwind."
Once Flashpaw had returned to the Lakeclan camp after failing to prove StoneClan had entered his territory, he'd introduced himself to Pashpaw. Silverwind had been the poor cat's mentor.
Pashpaw sniffed the bushes out of curiosity; he could smell some familiar scent. But it was hard to identify.
Apparently, almost all Clan-cats can identify a LakeClan scent. Pashpaw wasn't even close. To be honest, Pashpaw had found training as an apprentice quite hard, confusing even. But he owed his clan a cat. He owed his Clan a warrior. And that's what he had to give.
"Pashpaw, make yourself useful and check behind that bush." Finalember called as Pashpaw came back to the valley.
Pashpaw padded up to Finalember and stared him in the face. "Last time I checked, my mentor was Fernstar."
Finalember hissed at the apprentice as Fernstar called out; "Pashpaw, he's a senior warrior, listen to him."
Pashpaw turned around swiftly and went over behind the bush. "Stupid Finalember. Why does he always think he can get his way?" Pashpaw mewed under his breath as he looked around.
"I don't know what Finalember was mewing about. There's nothing back here but a bunch of berries and leaves." Suddenly, a strange, incredibly unfamiliar scent whipped past Pashpaw's nose.
"What the…."
There was a rustle in the branches. And the strong scent of another cat.
Pashpaw gulped as he heard a loud sound behind him. "Who's there?!" He cried, whirling around.
"Pashpaw, it's just me." Blackpaw mewed. "You must've scared all the prey between here and FourTrees!"
"Sorry…." Pashpaw answered. "Are there any other clans in this valley?"
Blackpaw stared at his friend as if he had sprouted wings. "Of course, Pashpaw. There's MarshClan, led by Purestar, PrairieClan, led by Tangledstar and StoneClan led by Pondstar."
"Oh." Pashpaw mewed simply. Who could've thought there'd be four clans here?
"C'mon, Finalember found the moss, we have to go back now.
