I wrote this chapter a while ago I was just too lazy to upload it. :P I don't really like it all to much.

Blazepaw pawed the moss into place as he watched his siblings do the same. Why did he have to do such a mouse brained thing? Mousebrained things were for Snowpaw! I don't even know how to play this... Three game! Then why had he suggested it? And why did he always tingle when he looked at Brightdream and his mum? It was all just too weird. Applepaw pounced towards him, waggling her hindquarters in the air.

"Ferndream is gonna take me out to see the territory! You should ask Sunflower if she wants to come!"

Sliding out of the den with the rest of the apprentices, Blazepaw looked around for his grandma and mentor. There! He trotted towards her, his tail waving in the air.

"Hey, can we go out with Fern-... dream?"

Sunflower had turned her head towards him, her eyes shining with sadness. She dipped her head, making a choking sound. Cats couldn't cry, but she looked about as close she could get to it.

"So I guess... I have to call you Bla-blazepaw now..."

Annoyed, he looked around for Applepaw to make sure she didn't slip off without him. She was standing beside Ferndream chatting eagerly with the older cat looked slightly annoyed.

"Uhm, yeah. Do you have a problem with my name?"

The last part came out a little sharper than he intended and he recoiled if she decided to scold him.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Cloverspirit ran over, placing her tail on Sunflower's shoulders.

"He looks so much like him... did you have to name him after him too?"

Blazepaw looked down at his tabby legs and frowned, "Who do I look like? Name me after who?"

His mum licked his ear, "My brother, his name was Blazepaw. He looked just like you."

Blazepaw flicked his now soggy ear and mumbled, "Oh. Can we go now? I want to go with Applepaw!"

Sunflower sniffled and shook Cloverspirit's tail off, straightening herself.

"No, we'll go with Crowtalon and Snowpaw."

His hopes faded, great, the mousebrain and the jerk-face. Tail trailing behind him he looked at Snowpaw and saw his own sadness reflected in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Blazepaw asked and Snowpaw glared up at Crowtalon.

"He's a fox-face!" He growled into his ear.

Applepaw flicked her tail at them as she trotted past with Northwind and Moonpaw. While she was doing this Moonpaw looked over his shoulder and gave her an evil glare, then smirked in the direction of his mom. Ashfall half-closed her eyes at him and then slipped back into the nursery and then brought her nest out in a ball and trotted into the warriors' den.

Everybody else grouped up too and they headed out.

"Let's go towards the twolegplace."

Crowtalon offered, and the padded on. As the pace quickened, Blazepaw tried to take in as much as he could.

Skidding to a stop with his chest heaving, he looked around before he spat, "Can't we stop and look around? I thought we were supposed to be exploring, not dying!"

Snowpaw's tongue hung out of his mouth like a dog and even Sunflower looked tired.

Crowtalon looked at all three of them then growled, "Watch your mouth kit!"

Blazepaw jerked his head, stung. The black tom began to hop into a tree and he peered through the bushes. Murmuring to himself, he looked this way and that way. Blazepaw stood fuming while Snowpaw flopped down, panting. Sunflower cooled down by licking the grass from in-between her claws, making her rest look a lot more dignified than Snowpaw's. Blazepaw copied her and licked his side as Crowtalon noisily slid down.

"We can go towards heat rocks and then cut back to the creek. Get up, you lump!"

He made sure to hiss at Snowpaw before he trotted off. Blazepaw caught Sunflower's huff of frustration as he led. Again. By the time they had returned to camp Blazepaw's paws felt like they were about to fall off. Snowpaw had to be taken back to camp early because he'd fainted. What a mouse-heart. Blazepaw sneered as he saw Cloverspirit padding out of the medicine cat den and licking his head comfortingly, then she looked in Crowtalon's direction and stalked towards him.

"You!"

She growled, marching up to the large black tom and swiping away the pigeon he had been trying to eat with her claws.

"Snowpaw is your apprentice, and I expect you to treat him as such! You overworked him today with all you're running about! It's his first day!"

Crowtalon stood up and towered over her. She cocked her chin up and glared into his eyes.

"It's not my fault your son is a pitiful excuse for an apprentice! Look-"

His tail swept around to all the other apprentices, most hanging in the camp and chatting.

"-do you see any other apprentices that fainted during the trip? No. Blazepaw did just fine."

Snowpaw pricked his ears, turning his orange eyes towards them. They grew wide, and then he disappeared into the medicine cat den.

"Well maybe he's just special!" Cloverspirit argued, her body shivering from rage.

Her eyes were like brands of fire.

"Maybe he's just a weakling! Forbidden loves always ends in tragedy, Cloverspirit! Not even the likes of you can escape that!"

Blazepaw felt this tingling in his paws and his claws unsheathed. He sprang forwards in time to see a white paw flash through the air, and then Crowtalon's blood dripping off his chin from a scratch on his nose. He stood right in between them as Crowtalon let out a ferocious roar and unsheathed his own claws.

"Touch her and I'll tear your ears off."

His lip crinkled to reveal his teeth and suddenly Flarestrike came from the tunnel, Applepaw trailing behind him and babbling something.

"Whoa, whoa. Cinderstar!"

He pushed Blazepaw away who was still shocked that he had said such a thing and stood in between the furious queen and short-tempered warrior. Applepaw glanced from him to Cloverspirit, a shocked expression on her face. Cloverspirit looked Crowtalon straight in the eye, then towards somebody standing nearby, behind Blazepaw, and whirled to pad into the medicine cat den.

Cinderstar was standing on her den, looking at Crowtalon. Then she beckoned for him to come into her den with her tail. Blazepaw turned so that he could see who his mum had given a second glare to and his eyes met with Ashfall's as she smirked at him. She whispered something to Moonpaw and the silver tom trotted towards him.

"You just don't get it, do you?" He said, feeling Applepaw coming towards them.

If Moonpaw was here to pick on their brother then Applepaw wouldn't allow that. Her ginger fur brushed against his and she frowned at him.

"Don't get what?"

She asked, but there was a sinking feeling in Blazepaw, as if he already knew what was coming.

"Why you never stayed in the nursery with the other kits. Why everybody hates you. Crowtalon wasn't just speaking lies; forbidden love always ends in tragedy."

Moonpaw's sister Acornpaw sidled up to him, glaring back at Applepaw with mirrored yellow eyes.

"We're special, that's why. Plus, it was crowded in there. And what forbidden love? What kind of mouse-brained idea-"

Acornpaw laughed, "What a lame excuse."

She head butted Applepaw, knocking her off her paws, and smiled at her.

"You know, I never would've thought I would come to hate my half sister. Welcome to the family."

Chilling. Just so you know, Moonpaw and Acornpaw have been poisoned by their mother's thoughts on Flarestrike and Cloverspirit & their kits. It's not really their fault. :/
