Hi eveyone, sorry it took this long but I had a bit of a medical emergency, but I'm back now with a new chapter and I got three more coming very soon, so I hope you like them.

Disclaimer: Erin Hunters owns the warrior books but I do own my OCs Sandfire, Goldenpelt, Thornrose, Darkrot and the plot.

Chapter 7

Day one in the countryside and Bluestar's night lesson.

It was morning when Sandfire opened his eyes to see Goldenpelt still curled up by his side fast asleep. Sandfire purred at the sight of her like this, but then he stopped purring when his stomach growled. It was time to hunt so he got up, then carefully and slowly walked out of their camp. As he slowly stalked through the long grass, he spotted a mouse scurrying about looking for food. When the mouse stopped to sniff the air, he ran out of the long grass and pounced on it before it could pick up his scent, with a fast bite to the neck it was all over for the mouse. He then picked it up and carried it back to the camp. Then he went back into the long grass. It was not long before he found a rabbit and the hunt started again. As he carried the rabbit into the den he found Goldenpelt wide awake and sitting there, waiting for him to come back from hunting. "There you are, I was wondering where you was when I woke up to see you gone" she mewed.

As he looked into her blue eyes, he purred "Oh Goldenpelt, you don't need to worry. I was just out hunting for food, you need to eat to get your strength back from losing the kits and the wounds you got from Darkrot's rogues".

"Oh Sandfire, that is sweet of you to do that and thank you" she purred as they began to eat the mouse and rabbit together. After they had finished eating their meal, they left the camp to look around. As they looked around, they soon found a small hill and started to climb the hill. When they got to the top, they saw that the mountain was right in front of them, but the mountain was five days away just like Firestar had said, so they both ran down the hill and started to run towards it. Around nightfall they stopped, so they could hunt together for the first time in days. When they had finished Goldenpelt went for a drink at a small stream as Sandfire went to find a place to sleep for the night. When Sandfire had find one, he walked back to the stream so he could find Goldenpelt and take her there. When they got there, they both curled up together and went to sleep so they could go to the dream forest.

As he woke up, Sandfire opened his eyes to see that this time Goldenpelt was by his side and not walking about looking for him. "We're here Goldenpelt" he purred as he looked down at her. As Goldenpelt flicked her ear his way, she opened her eyes to look up at him. As they both sat up, she asked "So who are we meeting to night Sandfire?"

"I think we are meeting Bluestar tonight" answered Sandfire. As he said this, a blue-grey she-cat came out of the bushes and she mewed "Hello Sandfire and Goldenpelt, how are you both tonight".

"We're good Bluestar, so we are learning the warrior code tonight are we" mewed Sandfire. As Bluestar walked over to them and sat down in front of them, she mewed "Yes it is, so let's begin".

( Bluestar's P.O.V )

As I watched the two young cats before me, I started my lesson.

"The warrior code is a list of fifteen rules that should be followed by all cats of the clans.

One.

Defend your clan with your life. You may have friendships with cats from the other clans, but your loyalty must remain to your clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.

Two.

Do not hunt or trespass on another clan's territory.

Three.

Elders, queens and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feel the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens and the kits are eating.

Four.

Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to Starclan for its life.

Five.

A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

Six.

Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

Seven.

A warrior can't be made a deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

Eight.

The deputy will become the new clan leader only when the old clan leader dies, retires or is exiled.

Nine.

After the death or retirement of a deputy, a new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

Ten.

A gathering of all four clans is held on a full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting amomg the clans at this time.

Eleven.

Boundaries must be ckecked and marked daily. You must challenge all trespassing from cats that are not from your clan.

Twelve.

No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different clan.

Thirteen.

The word of your clan leader is the warrior code.

Fourteen.

An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his or her battles, unless they are outside of the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

Fifteen.

A warrior is to reject the soft life of a kittypet.

And that's the warrior code, do you both understand it Sandfire, Goldenpelt" I asked them.

"Yes Bluestar we understand and we will follow it" mewed Sandfire.

"And thank you for teaching us the warrior code Bluestar" mewed Goldenpelt.

I then purred happily at the two young cats and bid them goodnight, I then left them to wake up and start a new day. As I walked away, I started to wish that they would stay strong for this was only the start of a great new adventure, full of danger that will test them to their limit.

( End of Bluestar's P.O.V )

As the Bluestar left them, Sandfire and Goldenpelt curled up together and closed their eyes as they went back to sleep.
