Chapter 4

Splashpaw ventured out of the apprentices den, she let the warm rays of sun touch her pelt. Sunpaw padded next to her "enjoying the morning sun are we?" he asked playfully "Just letting the sun warm my fur before I go on border patrol" Splashpaw replied calmly. "Which border?" Sunpaw asked "Flintclan's border" Splashpaw replied as she licked her paw then groomed her head with it. "It's not fair!" a small voice whined "I'm always the mouse!", Splashpaw turned around to see Birchkit complaining "But I said I wanted to be the hunter first" Graykit told his brother. "Hold on there little warriors" Splashpaw told them calmly "What is going on, you two could scare the prey from here to Three Oaks" she laughed, "It's not fair Splashpaw!" Birchkit complained "I'm always the mouse in 'catch the mouse'!".

"Yes because you're the smallest" Graykit sighed, "Graykit maybe you should let Birchkit be the hunter for once" Splashpaw said. Graykit thought it over, "fine" he finally said "but you have to give me a thrush" he declared "deal" Splashpaw agreed, the two toms started playing until they got tired. Graykit had already stuffed himself with the thrush. "Splashpaw!" a familiar voice called, it was Lionsplash! Her father. "Come on Splashpaw we have to go on border patrol!" he called again "Coming Lionsplash" she said as she padded to them. Swiftpaw came with them; it had only been two sunrises ago when he became an apprentice with Lionsplash as his mentor. Swiftpaw stopped and ran to catch a mouse, he caught it but Lionsplash sighed "Swiftpaw this is a border patrol not a hunting patrol", "I think it was a great catch father" Splashpaw said "At least we can have some extra fresh-kill for the queens and elders".

"I suppose your right Splashpaw" Lionsplash told her, "Great catch Swiftpaw, and go bury it next to that small birch tree" Lionsplash finally praised. Swiftpaw did as he was told, Lionsplash hurried to tell the rest of the patrol. "Thanks Splashpaw" Swiftpaw said "What for?" she asked "The mouse catch, your father looked as if he was ready to growl at me" he replied. "It doesn't matter, it was a great catch better than what I could do" she admitted. Splashpaw's eyes grew wide she smelled something, something unfamiliar "Iceblaze, Heathereyes, Lionsplash!" Splashpaw called "I smell something weird!" she told them. Iceblaze lifted her nose and sniffed the air, "Fox!" she said "It's fresh too!". "We'd better watch out" Heathereyes said, she was a new warrior but she knew what to do and was always very wise.

At the border they saw to small cats chasing a squirrel and the killed it on ThistleClan territory. "Mallowpaw, Icepaw! What do you think you are doing!" a tom shouted as he ran towards them "Your apprentices crossed the border and killed a squirrel on our territory" Lionsplash growled, "That squirrel is from FlintClan so it doesn't matter if it crossed the border because it is rightfully ours" the tom snarled "Typical for you Skyclaw to say something like that" Iceblaze spat. Is there really going to be a battle just about squirrel that had been hunted from FlintClan to ThistleClan Splashpaw thought "Wait! We can't just battle over a..." Splashpaw began to say, the world around her went blurry when everyone called her name but it was just faint echo. Then Splashpaw collapsed, all the cats hurried around her even Skyclaw, Mallowpaw and Icepaw huddled around.

"Hello?" Splashpaw said but she could only hear her echo sounding through the darkness, the surrounding suddenly became brighter and she could see trees and a river. The wind blew gently in the trees, and the river gurgled as it washed up on the banks. Then a beautiful ginger tabby she-cat with bright blue eyes appeared "Welcome Splashpaw to SilverClan" she said "S-SilverClan!" Splashpaw stammered "am I dead?", "No, you are not dead. My name is Honeyfrost" she said "I am here to give you a message but it is for only you and these three cats. Dawnstar, Blackpool and Embertail", "There is a prophecy, Fate be lost, Darkness will fall, But Lion's kin, Will save us all" Honeyfrost said, and then left the world around Splashpaw began to fade I'm waking up! Splashpaw thought.


Hope u enjoyed it!
