Hey awesome reviewers! Thanks for reviewing! Just to make it clear, I don't have much time to update usually, so chapters take a long time to come out. And, yes, new reviewer, I WILL make these chapters longer. I hope you people like this new chapter!

"Spottedpaw's awake!" a joyful mew awakened Spottedpaw from the darkness.

"We thought you were dead!" Honeypaw bounded over and licked her sister fiercely.

"I did too," Spottedpaw admitted. Again.

"You've been recovering while you were sleeping." Mistbreeze padded in." You've been asleep for eight sunrises. But now you have recovered."

Spottedpaw almost didn't catch the last part. "Eight sunrises!" Spottedpaw sprang to her paws and bounded into the camp. "I've missed out on so much training!"

"You also missed our first Gathering," Cloudpaw, Spottedpaw's brother pointed out, his head drooping.

"WHAT?!" Spottedpaw was so surprised, she tripped over a tree root and almost fell on Sagekit.

"Watch it!" Sagekit yelped. Then he glared at the apprentice and stalked away.

Spottedpaw ignored him and screeched to a halt beside Deerwind.

"Let's go hunting!"

Deerwind's whiskers quivered in amusment. "I thought that's what you were going to say," she mewed.

Spottedpaw had split up with Deerwind and rest of the patrol to try to get more prey. Next to her, a fern quivered, and the sent of mouse flooded her mouth.

Step lightly. Deerwind's words ran through her head. Spottedpaw tiptoed over dead leaves and branches so that she was within pouncing distance from the mouse.

Now... Pounce! Spottedpaw bunched her muscles and leaped over to the mouse. It let out a terrified squeak, but it was quickly cut off.

Nice and plump, too! Spottedpaw thought approvingly. She picked it up, along with a vole and a squirrel that she had caught earlier. She bounded off to join Duckwing, another patrol member. He was carrying a gigantic rabbit.

"Good catch," Spottedpaw mewed.

"Thanks!" Duckwing's eyes gleamed."I caught it myself."

"Well, it's so big, all three of the elders can share it!" She commented.

"I hope Pearnose and Stoneriver appreciate it," he said. "Rabbit is their favorite!" When they reached camp, he bounded over to the elder's den to give them their meal.

Spottedpaw purred in amusement, then stiffened as Flamepaw walked through the entrance, back from a border patrol with his sister, Stormpaw, and their mentors; Briarpool and Oakflight.

Oakflight padded up to Fernshadow, the deputy." Windclan have been hunting far inside our boarders for a long time now." Oakflight turned to Lilystar, who had just then padded out of her den. "What should we do?"

Lilystar dipped her head and leped up to the Highledge. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey come to a clan meeting," she yowled. Once everyone had gathered, she began to tell her news. "Windclan have been depending on our prey for too long. I tried to reason with them, but Runningstar will not listen. I have decided with Fernshadow that we must meet in battle. It is our only choice." Lilystar sat back to watch the clan comprehend this news.

"What about Violetpaw?" Brightspirit yowled.

"She is one of the best fighters I know," Lilystar replied she must fight. Everyone who is fit will fight," Lilystar mewed, sweeping a gaze at Thunderclan.

Spottedpaw's eyes widened in terror. What is she tries to kill me? Spottedpaw fretted. Then she glanced at Flamepaw, who was grooming his fiery pelt.

Will I get my prize? She wondered.

Or will I bow to Violetpaw's rule? Spottedpaw shook her head. I must stay strong for Flamepaw.

I must.

Hope you likey! I will try to post more often! Please comment for Windclan names! I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS!
