It's been a few days since we became warriors. My former mentor's sister, Appleleaf, has 3 healthy kits. Me, Moonfrost, and Thorntalon were on our first warrior patrol, lead by Foxheart. He was a jumpy as a newborn fox. Oh well, not everyone is perfect I thought. Moonfrost and Thorntalon were walking so close together their pelts were brushing against each other. My tail curled in amusement and we were walking along the Twoleg border. Foxheart abruptly meowed, "Dragonwing, I heard you used to call twolegs fakepelts, right?" He slowed his pace to match mine, but keeping a fair distance. My head bowed and before I meowed, "Yes," a bark came from behind us. Moonfrost whipped around, nearly throwing Thorntalon over, and stared in horror at the snarling beast behind us. I turned around slowly, and the beast was a growling, drooling dog, ready to make a meal out of us. Moonfrost yowled, "Run!" All of us started running as fast as we could, the dog hard on our paws. Its jaws were snapping at my tail, and we were approaching the IceClan border. Three cats were patrolling. As if we didn't care, we dashed over the border and the patrol scattered. Thorntalon and Foxheart whipped at the dog and started clawing at its muzzle. My pelt bristled with fear, and I hid in a bush. An IceClan she-cat hid in the bush with me, and she looked familiar. She meowed to me, "Dragon? Is that you?" I stared at her in shock. To horrified to speak, I nodded. The she-cat continued, "Remember me? I'm Crystal!"Crystal nearly bounced out of the bush in exitment. I murmured, "Crystal..." Crystal licked my ear in a friendly way, then she whipped her face to see the dog about to pounce on us. Foxheart leaped at the dog's face, his long tail bushed out like a fox's tail. Crystal meowed quickly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, but I'm Crystalshard." Then she leaped out of the bush and raked her claws down the dog's flank. It howled if rage and shook Crystalshard away. I leaped out and bit it's shoulder. It finally give a whimper of surrender and Throntalon, Foxheart, and the IceClan patrol letted go of it. We watched it limp away to its twoleg nest. The IceClan patrol looked at us, and the leader of the patrol hissed, "Get out of here." Foxheart flicked his tail and me, Moonfrost, and Thorntalon leaped away into our own territory. It was Thorntalon who spoke first, "Wow, what a fight. We should tell Oakstar." A scar was on his back from the dog's claws, and it was bleeding. Foxheart meowed, "C'mon guys. We got to see Snowcloud." We ran or limped at our fastest pace to the camp. Moonfrost winced and the water lapping at a wound on her lower front leg. Once we bashed into the camp, warriors were staring at us. Foxheart told us to go into the medicine cat's den. Once me, Thorntalon, and Moonfrost came in, Snowcloud immediately put cobwebs on Thorntalon's biggest wound. Then Wolfpelt came out with a leaf-wrapped herb and set it on the ground. He meowed, "Eat the berries, they will help ease the pain." Thorntalon opened the leaf wrap and three berries were in it. Moonfrost lowered herself and started chewing on the berry. I did the same, ignoring the bitter taste. Thorntalon then ate one. Snowcloud meowed, "Everything will be okay. None of the wounds seem infected." We nodded and walked out. Moonfrost and Thorntalon went to sit near the warrior's den. I saw Darkclaw sitting on a low-leveled rock. I raced and bounded up the rock and sat next to him. My fur felt hot but I layed down and closed my eyes. Right before sleep claimed me, I heared Darkclaw whisper, "Have a good nap," and he affectionally licked my ear.
