Chapter 8!

Stormpaw sat bolt upright in his bed of moss, panting. "Lionblaze?" he asked urgently.

No cat was there. Stormpaw sighed. He knew he hadn't imagined the golden cat, but he hadn't been fully awake to realize it. He yawned and padded out of the apprentices' den, his claws clacking on the stone ground.

"You're up early."

Flamestream gave the new apprentice a warm glance from where he sat watching the sun creep up over the trees.

"Hi Flamestream," Stormpaw greeted the elder warrior.

"Hey! Stormpaw!"

Stormpaw turned. Amberdapple and Thornfur were padding out of the warriors den. "We're going on dawn patrol with Thornfur and Frozenpaw," Amberdapple told her apprentice.

Stormpaw suppressed a groan. Why did they have to go with Frozenpaw!

Thornfur called Frozenpaw away from the fresh kill pile. She cast Stormpaw a glare, then shoved him out of the way as she stalked towards the forest.

"Let's go," Amberdapple called to him.

The four cats and headed towards the ShadowClan border. When they checked the border, it was fine.

"I'm going to show you something I didn't show you yesterday," Amberdapple mewed to Stormpaw. "This way."

She led the patrol, through some bushes, and meowed, "This is the Thunderpath."

Before them lay a wide black path with golden stripes down the center. Stormpaw frowned. Where had he seen this before?

"Twolegs ride their monsters on these," Thornfur put in.

"Monsters?" Stormpaw took a step back from the Thunderpath.

"What, you scared?" Frozenpaw sneered. She gave Stormpaw a big shove in his flank, knocking his breath away as he stumbled onto the Thunderpath.

The black rocky ground was hard beneath his pads. Stormpaw's heart began to pound as a loud honking filled the air. He turned and spotted a large, silvery thing hurtling towards him.

"Monster!" Thornfur yowled. "Stormpaw, move!"

Sorry that was so short. The computer deleted the other half of this chapter, so you'll just have to deal with this short thing. Sorry guys. : ( anyway just review! Swiftpaw
