Chapter 6

Snowpaw got up groggley from her sleep. Just the night before, she had become an apprentice, and was still VERY tired. Her mentor, Rainwhisker, had woken her up. She padded into camp, aand saw him casting secret glances at her from time to time from the mouse he had just finished.

"May I eat?"she asked politely.

"No."the mean tom mewed."You must hunt for your clan before eating your own meal."he hissed."It's the warrior code!"

Snowpaw rolled her eyes, then snarled,"You're here against the warrior code, why can't I break it?"

Rainwhisker just growled,"Come on. I'll show you the territorys."

Snowpaw followed wearily.

As they entered the bare, lifeless forest, Snowpaw looked around the white wonderland. Dead silence gripped the land as they stocked through it.

"This is the boundry for Mudclan. From here, you'd sink halfway into the ground, because Mudclan lives in a muddy old marsh."Rainwhisker commented as they looked over the brown, muddy snow. Snowpaw shrugged. As they continued through the white forest, a bird chirped overhead. Snowpaw stopped daed, realizing someone was hunting that bird. As she peared through the brambles, she made out the fluffy white pelt of Whitepaw. He leaped onto the bird and killed it instantly! Wow! I wish I could hunt! she thought as Rainwhisker hissed for her to keep moving. As they got closer, Snowpaw started to hear a rushing river.

"Welcome to Waterclan territory."Rainwhisker meowed."A giant river cuts through their territory, and runs it down to an even larger river, known as Longriver. They can swim."he added."And Mudclan walks through marshes like pros. I thought I should add that, since you were a kit just yesterday."Rainwhisker spat the word kit, as if it was possesed.

Snowpaw snarled her reply of,"Well, at least I've NEVER broken the warrior code!"

Rainwhisker glared at her and continued walking towards the last territory."Sunclan. They're the fastest cats in the forest, and live in a golden, grassy moor, but it's white right now."Snowpaw shrugged.

"Snowpaw! Focus!"she and Rainwhisker were learning how to hunt. She crouched and slowly stalked forward, balancing perfectly. But Rainwhisker didn't think so."You're so clumbsy! I think you should learn from my unborn kits about how to walk!"

That was the last straw for Snowpaw. She had been putting up with that all day, haden't eaten, and found out EVERY other apprentice was now onto hunting patrols! She let out a growl so firce and angery, she even scared herslef,"I HATE HAVING YOU AS A MENTOR! YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT I DO RIGHT! YOU ONLY SEE WRONG! I WISH THAT FRECKLESTAR...WAS DEAD!"Snowpaw raced off, not even listening to the yowling tom behind her.

Snowpaw ran and ran, running faster with every pulse and beat, running, running, flying past camp and deeper into the silent froest. She finally stopped at the foot of a ginormus oak tree. The creamy apprentice heard scuffling. She stalked toward the sound, and saw a mouse. She stalked just the way she had learned, when the mouse dashed away, but Snowpaw quickly caught it.

Next time, we'll get some REAL action!
