1Chapter 9
The next morning, Tigerclaw blinked open his eyes to the sun's light. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Feathertail purred.
Tigerclaw yawned and realized it was already sunhigh. He stretched and padded out of the warriors den with Feathertail behind him.
"Feathertail, Tigerclaw," Mistystar called.
Feathertail and Tigerclaw exchanged glances but padded over to join Mistystar and Firestar who were talking outside Firestar's den.
"We think the twolegs might have left our camp by now," Mistystar meowed, "I want you two to check it out."
"I still can't believe twolegs actually wanted to camp on an island," Feathertail growled.
"I know, but thats twolegs for you," Firestar shrugged, "just be careful and report back as soon as possible.
"We'll do our best," Tigerclaw promised.
"Good," Firestar meowed.
Tigerclaw and Feathertail exchanged glances but didn't say anything, just dipped their heads to their leaders and padded toward the camp entrance.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Flamepaw padded out of the apprentices den as the sunlight shined into the camp. He yawned and stretched before padding over to the fresh kill pile.
As he made his way over there, he spotted Tigerclaw and Feathertail making their way out of the camp. Wonder what they're up to, Flamepaw thought as he chose a mouse from the pile.
"Hey Flamepaw, mind if I join you?" Flamepaw looked up to find Skypaw making her way over to the fresh kill pile.
"Fine by me," Flamepaw growled and started to eat his mouse.
Skypaw chose a vole from the pile and sat down next to Flamepaw. She started eating it and meowed, "so, what are you doing today?"
Flamepaw shrugged, "Graystripe hasn't told me yet," he meowed, gazing into Skypaw's green eyes.
He blinked and turned away before finishing off his mouse.
"Maybe we can train together," Skypaw meowed.
"Are you ready for training, Flamepaw?" Graystripe meowed, padding up to them.
"Yeah, can Skypaw train with us too?" Flamepaw asked.
"I don't know, it's up to Rainwhisker," Graystripe meowed.
"Whats up to me?" Flamepaw turned to find Rainwhisker making his way over to the deputy's side.
"Flamepaw wants to know if he and Skypaw can train together," Graystripe explained.
"Thats fine by me, we cant take them hunting along the Riverclan border, if you want," Rainwhisker meowed.
"Okay," Graystripe meowed and lead the way toward the camp entrance.
Flamepaw got to his paws and followed his mentor with Skypaw and Rainwhisker behind them.
"It's not like we have to worry about a Riverclan patrol catching us," Graystripe commented, his eyes a lit with amusement.
Flamepaw just shrugged and followed Graystripe as he lead the way toward the Riverclan border.
When they approached Sunningrocks, Graystripe paused, sniffing the air. "What can you smell, Flamepaw?" he asked.
Flamepaw opened his jaws and scented the air. "Mouse in the distance, Riverclan of course and squirrel," he meowed.
Graystripe nodded, "good," he meowed.
Flamepaw dropped into a crouch and waited until a squirrel appeared nearby. With a low hiss, he pounced and pinned the squirrel down before killing it swiftly.
"Nice catch, Flamepaw," Skypaw meowed.
"Thanks," Flamepaw muttered and sniffed the air again. He paused as a familiar scent wafted around him.
A few moments later, Flamepaw looked up to find Tigerclaw swimming out of the river. He climbed onto the bank and shook his pelt before turning back to the river.
Feathertail climbed onto the bank but was limping badly. Tigerclaw pressed his pelt against Feathertail's to support her as they padded along the bank toward Graystripe.
"What are you doing here?" Flamepaw hissed.
"Be quiet, Flamepaw," Graystripe snapped, "Firestar and Mistystar sent them to see if the Riverclan camp was cleared yet."
Flamepaw muttered something under his breath but didn't argue. Skypaw gently pressed her muzzle into Flamepaw's fur, but stepped back, embarrassed.
"What did you find out?" Graystripe asked.
"The twolegs were just leaving," Tigerclaw explained, "but one of them saw Feathertail and tossed something at her. It hit her leg, hard."
Feathertail nodded, "the twolegs are gone," she meowed, through gritted teeth.
"But I think the twolegs might have broken her leg," Tigerclaw meowed.
Graystripe nodded, "come on, lets get back to camp, Rainwhisker, you can carry on, Flamepaw, come back with me," he meowed.
"Fine," Flamepaw muttered and followed Graystripe as he lead the way back to camp.
