Okay everybody, so far in this book I haven't used any foreshadowing really. This chapter is going to be Timberleafs point of view, in which you get to have foreshadowing with him is I remember. Enjoy!

I woke up remembering when I saw Quietpaw shaking last night. Was she cold or scared? I couldn't figure out which one it was. When she woke up she had no traces of fear. I stood up and walked out of the den. I saw Silverbreeze, the deputy, making patrols.

"Good morning Timberleaf!" she called over to me, "Do you want to go on a hunting patrol?"

I quickly walked over to her so that I wouldn't be shouting across camp. I whispered when I was close enough, "Quietpaw can't hunt. We went over her hunters crouch yesterday and we are supposed to pick up on it today."

"Oh okay. Then can you go wake your brother up?"

I hissed in annoyance, "No, I'll still go. Just tell Quietpaw that I'll be back soon, when she wakes up."

Silverbreeze nodded and lucky for me, said nothing about me hissing at her. I walked out of the camp, close behind the patrol. It seemed like I hated my brother for no reason, but I had a reason. A very good reason.

I remember seeing Fernpaws wounds and the fear in her eyes. It was no mystery for me, I watched them train. If you could even call it that. I'm so glad that Birchstar chose me to be Quietpaws mentor and not him. If only Fernpaws could have had a different mentor while she was alive.

I sighed, as I ran into a big ball of fur. I heard the cat hiss in annoyance, "That's the third piece of prey that you scared off!" I recognized Oakstreams voice.

"Calm down, it's not like it's leaf-bare."

"Prey is still prey, now pay attention!"

I rolled my eyes and walked away. I quickly hunted two mice and brought them back to camp. I set them in the prey pile and went to look for Quietpaw. I decided that rather than searching camp, that I could just ask someone. I found Silverbreeze sunning herself.

"Where's Quietpaw?"

"She's training with your brother."

What?!

I kept myself from yelling at her and responded with my voice shaking, "O-okay." I walked briskly out of camp, but eventually broke into a run.

I ran to the training hollow. It took longer than it should take, or maybe that was my imagination. I kept running until I was just at the edge of the training hollow. I saw Quietpaw, huddled in a corner, scared and with fresh wounds on her sides. I looked just over, and saw my brother, Dustpool. I quickly ran into the training hollow and over to Quietpaw. I got there just as Dustpool was about to hit her. I stood in the way, so he hit me, but I hit him back.

"Move out of the way, Timberleaf."

"No. Quietpaw is my apprentice and I won't let you hurt her."

Dustpool hissed at me, "Both of you better not speak about this to anyone, or I'll kill you both."

"Why not kill me now?" I hissed at him. I felt Quietpaw flinch behind me.

"Sorry, but I have to catch up to my patrol." he turned and stalked away.

I immediately turned towards Quietpaw.

"Are you okay? Are any of the wounds deep or fatal or both?" I asked, panicked. We did not need a repeat of Fernpaw.

She shook her head.

"Okay, let's get you back to camp."

Again, she shook her head. I gave her a questioning look, but she got up and started practicing her hunters crouch.

I laughed a little, "Okay, we can work on your hunters crouch for a little bit. If you start feeling any major pain, tell me and we can head back to camp."

She nodded.

I watched as she crouched down and lifted her tail off the ground. She was still off balance, but that could still work, she just wouldn't be able to pounce straight forward. Just when she was bout to get up then try again, I called out to her.

"Just wait Quietpaw." she looked at me questioningly. I meowed, "I'm going to pretend to be a mouse and you creep forward and pounce. Yes, I realize you're still off balance."

I crouched down a few fox lengths in front of her and pretended to eat a nut or something. She crept forward and pounced. She landed to my right, her left.

"Good job!" I meowed. She gave me a 'then you must be delusional' look. I shook my head and laughed, "Do your hunters crouch again."

She crouched down and lifted her tail off the ground. I crouched down in front of her.

"Okay, now move to the right a little bit."

She scooted over and looked at me, obviously confused.

"Now pounce." I meowed. She tried jumping forward, but since her crouch was off balance, she landed on me.

"Good job!" I meowed and saw joy on her face as she got off me, "You just have to stay to the right of whatever you're hunting or whoever you're fighting."

She nodded, but I think I saw a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, we'll just work on hunting for now. I'll probably just show you a few battle moves in case there's a border skirmish."

She nodded, but there was still fear in her eyes.

"Let's go back to camp." I meowed.

She walked next to me, the entire way back to camp. When we entered camp, there were a few cats glaring at me.

"Why'd you hit your brother and attack your apprentice?" Oakstream asked me.

I stared at the in shock then I saw my brother. Of course!

"I didn't attack her. I'll admit that I hit my brother, but he also hit me."

"Quit lying!" they turned to Quietpaw, "Did he hurt you?"

She shook her head and pointed at my brother with her tail. He glared at her but quickly hid it. I couldn't believe that she was brave enough to do at even after he threatened her life. The cats around us looked shocked. They turned to Dustpool.

"Why would I hurt her? Timberleaf probably threatened her so she wouldn't tell." he meowed.

I hissed at him, "I'm not like you. I would never hurt my apprentice!"

"I didn't hurt Fernpaw."

"That's a lie! I saw you hurt her!"

"Fernpaw was attacked by a rogue."

"Oh so everyday she was attacked by a rogue while training with you but you never really had any wounds. So are you saying that you just hid while she was being attacked?"

"Just shut up and admit that you attacked Quietpaw."

"I can't admit something that isn't true." I meowed while glaring at him. He took a step towards us and I stepped in front of Quietpaw.

"Okay break it up! This is getting us no where. If this happens again, I will have to exile the guilty one." Birchstar interrupted.

Everyone immediately split up and went their separate ways. I turned to Quietpaw who was shaking.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Let's go for a walk." She nodded once and turned to the entrance, but we were stopped.

"Sorry, Timberleaf. I don't believe that you hurt Quietpaw but I have to send another cat with you." Silverbreeze meowed.

"Then you come with us."

"Okay."

She followed us out of camp. We went up the ravine and I stopped.

I meowed turning to Quietpaw, "How about we tour the territory now?"

She nodded her head excitedly.

I led the way to Fourtrees, with Quietpaw and Silverbreeze following close behind.

"That's fourtrees and the giant rock is where the leaders speak from while all the other cats are on the ground and listening, or sometimes listening."

Quietpaw laughed and so did Silverbreeze. I led the way all the way around the territory and pointing out almost every little detail, just for fun. The three of us were worn out by the time we got back to camp. We all headed for our dens right away.

Silverbreeze ran to the warriors den while I slowly walked and Quietpaw slowly walked to the apprentices den. Quietpaw disappeared into her den and I started to jog to mine. I curled up in my nest and fell fast asleep. Lucky for me, I had no dreams.

Not even the one about before I came to the clans. Thank Starclan.
