CHAPPIE TWO once again, that is a really fun word to say! Sorry if it says that Pantherstar is their father anywhere in here, cuz at first Pantherstar was a guy and he was their father, but not anymore!

CHAPTER TWO

Mapleclaw

"Toadflight, Dappleheart, Bramblepelt and Birchpaw, go out on a hunting patrol." "And Falconclaw, Otterpaw and Dawnpool, come with me to patrol the Willowclan border." Mapleclaw, the Sparkclan deputy, ordered to the warriors standing in front of her.

"Alright Mapleclaw, I'll go and get Otterpaw and we'll be good to go." Dawnpool mewed.

"Thank you Dawnpool. We will wait for you outside the tree entrance" Mapleclaw informed Dawnpool. "Hurry, Pantherstar wants us back before sunhigh, so I have time to organize patrols."

"We wanna come!" Sorrelkit, Turtlekit, and Starlingkit all said in unison as they tumbled out of the nursery. "No, no kits. You may not set foot outside camp until you become an apprentice." Lavendershine scolded the kits as she shooed them back into the bramble-protected nursery. "But when do we get to be apprentices?" The kits whined. "When you are six moons old kits, it's part of the warrior code. You know that." Lavendershine mewed to her kits.

Mapleclaw chuckled at the playful kits and padded out the tree entrance to wait for her clanmates to join her for the patrol.

"Okay, we're ready." Dawnpool reported to Mapleclaw. "Good, let's go then!"

"After they marked the border, they returned to find the clan in a panic. "Foxkit has been taken by a hawk!" Lavendershine informed them, horrified. "It just swooped in and took him by the scruff! It was terrible! Fernpool is a grieving mess! This is the third of her kits to be taken by a hawk!" Lavendershine nearly screeched at them.

"Whoa, okay. Slow down there. I'm sure it's just a coincidence-" "And when it flew away is was screeching: "Destroy the cats! The Talons will rise! Destroy the cats! The Talons will rise! Cat blood will spill! Cat blood will spill!"" Lavendershine went on, her green eyes wide with terror. "What if they take my kits?" She mewed quietly with a horrifying new realization.

"Mom, mom. Calm yourself. Your kits will be fine. Look, Moonpaw and I never got carried off, did we?" Mapleclaw reassured her mother.

"Yes, I suppose you're right..." Lavendershine sighed. "Go and get some rest. I'll take Fernpool to Tulipheart to get something for shock."Mapleclaw ordered her mother.
