So sorry it took me so long to update but one of my family members died when I got back from whales! (Sniffles)

Oh and I couldn't think of a way for a big battle to start but theres a argument! It will happen this deadly battle but I think first Moonpaw and Sunpaw should have had some battle training.

Disclaimer: I do not own the warriors series, that includes front covers characters and the whole story concept.

Chapter 5

"And this is the old twoleg place, don't worry its empty. Twolegs used to live here but there's no trace of them now." Dovewing explained to moonpaw and sunpaw, both were panting. It had been a hard journey for their small legs. All moonpaw wanted to do was get back to camp and have a juicy peice of fresh kill and then a nice nap. Sunpaw however still wanted to continue eventhough he was worn out.

"Can we go and look around it?" Sunpaw asked excitedly,

"No! Not today, but when you eventually do remember, always smell the air because this is a common place for badgers and foxes to rest." Ivyfall spoke up her tail was twitching as though annoyed at someone.

"How about we finish by showing you the shadowclan border?" Dovewing asked the apprentices.

"Yeah, maybe we'll run into a border patrol!" sunpaw bounced excitedly as though he had just had a nice nap and was now full of energy. Moonpaw however wasn't so enthusiastic, when she had been a medicine cat she hardly ever had to do so much exercise. It'll be easier when my legs get longer! She thought, encouraging herself not to give up as she bounded after Ivyfall. They ran through the undergrouth when for a wjile going past so many new surroundings, but a horrible scent came from up ahead making her wrinkle her nose.

"Ewww ! Sunpaw couldn't you have held it in!" Moonpaw complained as she brought up the rear end of sunpaw.

" It wasn't me!" Sunpaw complained his tail twitching angrily,

"He's right, that's the smell of Shadowclan!" Dovewing explained.

"Shadowclan?" Sunpaw asked excitedly,

"Yeah, what else would it be Starclan?" Moonpaw purred at her own joke just as they padded out into a grassy clearing.

"The border is here, from this tree to this one." Ivyfall explained walking carefully up to each tree. "Be careful not to cross this scent marker because if you do we don't want to be picking up scraps of your fur when you get chased down by shadow clan warriors!" Ivyfall turned her back to the border when a broad shouldered tabby came out of the bushes opposite them. His burning amber eyes washed over the thunderclan cats. However Moonheart noticed a change in his eyes when he looked at Dovewing. It was almost loving? No she must've have been mistaken. She looked at Dovewing to see her eyes had gone as big as the moon.

"Good to see Thunderclan still teaches there apprentices about borders." He meowed wipping his tail side to side.

"I always thought shadowclan were the ones with their heads up so high with pride they can't smell the scents beneath their own feet!" Sunpaw sneered boldly marching up to the border.

" Your courage will be the death of you!" Growled a large tom scrambling out of the bramble along with a tawny coloured she-cat. Moonpaw scowled at the new-comer, she wouldn't let them talk to her brother like that.

"It's better than having false pride!" She hissed as she closed the distance between her and the border.

"You piece fox-dung!" He lifted his front paw, about to swipe it across Moonpaws nose.

"Ratscar, she's untrained apprentice barley out of the nursery are you really going to stoop to that level." The tawny she-cat meowed gently, her tail tip touching his shoulder lightly. The action seemed to only anger him more. He rounded on her and spat.

"Of course you'd defend her. You're more loyal to thunderclan than to us!" And with that he span and stalked away.

"Come on Tigerheart, we better go and try calm him down!" She softly padded away. Tigerheart bowed his head and followed his tail dragging behing him. For some reason he was unhappy but Moonpaw couldn't be sure why. Nothing here had happened that could have made upset him. Because from what Moonpaw had heard border quarrels happen all the time.

"Moonpaw come on!" Ivyfall called behind her, Moonheart hadn't noticed them start to leave, she was still trying to register all of what happened here. Like the look Tigerheart gave Dovewing, the way she stared back and the way she nearly caused a unnecessary fight. She bounded after the group wanting to get answeres to some questions.

"Dovewing, why are shadowclan so cold?" Moonpaw asked trotting beside the larger cat.

"Well no one knows for sure, but I have heard that in the old forest before the great journey Shadowclan lived in a cold marshy territory, and many said that the cold winds blew over them and chilled their hearts." Dovewing told her.

"I know I would definitely want to be in Shadowclan, a bunch of heartless crowfood eaters? No thankyou." Moonpaw said her nose wrinkling at the thought.

"Well, it is just a nursery story Moonpaw. I'm sure that some of them very loving!"

Did Dovewing just say Shadowclan could be loving! Moonpaw shook her head. The thought reminded her of another question.

"Why were you mooning over Tigerheart?" Moonpaw watched as her question froze Dovewing and made her breath hitch.

"I wasn't mooning, he's a Shadowclan warrior the only way I would be mooning over him was if I had been starved of food and he had turned a big juicy mouse." Dovewing turned to her sister with a worried expression. Moonpaw watched for a moment then gasped, she had been exactly the same with Crowfeather in her earlier life. Moonpaw's gasp didn't go unnoticed by Ivyfall.

"I'll meet up with you two at camp!" She said while trotting off pushing Sunpaw with her nose, indicating for him to follow.

Moonpaw was left staring at Dovewing, her voice still lost. She didn't believe it.

"You're..." Suddenly something rammed into her side making her fall headfirst into the undergrowth. She groggily lifted her eyes to meet the amber fire piercing her with it's sharp gaze.

I hope it was enough to get you through! Them naughty forbidden loves do get annoying sometimes right. But I happen to be a fan of a certain one. Well it hasn't really happened in the books yet but I see it comin.

Update comin soon, probably in the next few days. This was hard to finidh though cause my mum was acooking with a spice wich made ma throat achoke.
