Chapter 5 Worried

"Come on Finpaw! The practice is about to start!" Brackenpaws excitement showed early in the morning. It had been 14 days since Spottedpool and Featherpaw had come back from Riverclan, and both brother and sister were glad they were back. The practice that Brackenpaw was talking about was a whole clan fighting and sneaking game. The most of the clan would be split up into two groups, and each team would try to invade the others territory, and capture the cats. It seemed to be a tradition in Stormclan, although Finpaw still wondered why.

Finpaw stalked outside to see Springstar instructing teams, "Team Wolf will be Wolfflower, Brairpath, Coralheart, Seafur, lets see… Wolfpaw, Thunderpaw, Icewing, Brackenpaw, and Wolffrost. Team Ebony will be Ebonyflower, Rainstorm, Lightningpaw, Brightfur, Lightwing, Finpaw, Oceanwind, Sunpaw, and Amberpaw. Wolfflower, your team will be more near the stream. Ebonyflower, your team will be near top rock. The boundary will be half-tree. Now, go to your side and start making a plan."

Finpaw waved a good-bye to Brackenpaw, then hurried over to follow Ebonyflower and her team. She looked at the sky, it was a nice day out. Not raining or snowing like the rest of the month. Maybe they could hunt after, and take advantage of that day.

"Finpaw? I haven't been an apprentice for long, so should I be on defense?" Amberpaw asked her on there way.

"Defense is just as important as offense, but you an help guard if you'd like. Ask Ebonyflower before she puts you on offense, 'cause you're a great warrior," Finpaw purred. Amberpaw smiled, then nodded, then walked over to where Ebonyflower, Lightwing, and Rainstorm where planning.

They quickly arrived at their destination, and walked together in their group. Then Ebonyflower discussed a good plan, "Okay, Brightfur, Sunpaw, Amberpaw and Rainstorm will guard our side while Lightningpaw, Lightwing, Finpaw, and myself will be on offense. Finpaw will sneak towards their camp while Lightningpaw, Lightwing, and I will be the tank. (The tank takes on all the damage and distracts others from attacking the other cats). Capture as many cats as you can. Anything else? Rainstorm?"

"Knowing your sister Ebonyflower, I think that she will try to hide her defense in the undergrowth, or maybe in the trees. I recommend the spinning defense."

"Yes, good point Rainstorm," Ebonyflower said.

"Maybe we should sneak from tree to tree on offense, where it will be harder for them to attack us," Lightningpaw meowed.

"No, because then they might find Finpaw first," Amberpaw argued, giving herself confidence.

"Amberpaw has a point. Only Finpaw should climb-if she feels if she can do it quickly, quietly, and out-of-sight. Would that be okay Finpaw?" Brightfur asked, joining the planning group.

Finpaw nodded, "I'm ready, when do we start?"

""Right… now," Sunpaw said, right as Springstar called to the cats, "positions everyone-quickly!" As Sunpaw said that, Finpaw leaped onto a tree trunk, and started to leap up. Her claws scratched the bark as the hoisted herself up. When in the tree, she saw Ebonyflowers group running to the border, finding Wolfflowers group of offense. Ebonyflower pounced on her sister, while Lightningpaw attacked Brackenpaw, Lightwing taking down Wolffrost and Thunderpaw. Lightwing started to fall back, but Ebonyflower quickly blocked Wolffrosts and Thunderpaws path.

Finpaw put her feet back to her own work, and started to jump to long branches, trying her best to stay well hidden. She was scratched by twigs and leaves, but it was worth knowing that Ebonyflower had trusted her enough to have the main part in this mission. To invade the enemies camp. Hopefully the offense patrol would be able to take out the defense before she got to the camp. She saw a cat on the tree next to who was not on her team. She jumped in surprise, but it turns out that it was only Springstar watching the game. Whew! That was close she thought, as Springstar pointed to Brightfur and Thunderpaw. When she turned back, Springstar was gone.

She blinked rapidly from the bright sunlight, and found a huge leafy tree near Team Wolf's camp. There, she saw Brightfur being brought back by Thunderpaw. She must have been captured, Team Wolf was getting very close to their play camp. But where was Team Ebony? Her question was quickly answered as she saw Ebonyflower, Oceanwind, Lightwing, and Lightningpaw padded forward. Thunderpaw called an alarm, and Finpaw hurried towards an more covered area. But it was too late, for she felt a pelt brush up against hers. She was pounced on by Seafur, who had just spotted her in the tree.

Luckily, she did not call an alarm. They fought, both trying to jump on the other so they could capture her. But neither would back down, but it was soon obvious that the young warrior would win. But not quite. Quick as a flash, Seafur leaped, about to capture Finpaw-but then Lightwing intercepted it. She instead captured Seafur. Seafur quickly showed that she was captured, and Finpaw silently thanked her mentor. Lightwing leaped out of the tree, saving Ebonyflower from Wolfflower, Wolfpaw, and Wolffrost. The two of them attacked the three of them, and while that was happening Finpaw made her move.

She cleared leaves out of the way so she could walk over the trees, and she leaped near the stream, where the Team Wolf camp was, and captured it. The game was over, and she had allowed her team to win. Springstar called an end to the game, and a victory to Team Ebony. As a prize, the winning team got to go back to the camp while the other team had to hunt and find bedding for the other team.

"Nice job Finpaw. I've never seen somebody climb a tree so easily. And in the end, you won for us. You're a natural!" Amberpaw praised, wowed by Finpaw.

"Without you, they would have won first. You did a great job guarding the camp. What can I say? None of Team Wolf even got close to our camp!" Finpaw meowed to Amberpaw.

"You're just saying that-" Amberpaw meowed crossly, but stopped at Finpaw smile. Amberpaw smiled too.

"We all did good," Oceanwind meowed, looking at Amberpaw, "and I say you, my friend, defeating Thunderpaw. You were the one who captured him."

But for the first time that day Finpaw was worried. She had not seen Frostpaw. What if she had gotten sick? She just had to find out, but how?
