A/N hey guys! I looked at the number of views for the last chapter and we are now at 1600! I was so happy that I wrote another chapter. If I am motivated today than you will probably get another chapter by tomorrow. So Pleeeeease review it does help.
Disclaimer: I don't own warriors. I wouldn't have been able to come up with such an amazing idea
enjoy!
hey I just edited the chapter because someone told me that it was hard to read because of spaces. I hope this fixed it:D
Chapter 16
Pepperpaw POV
I look up at the sky. It's nearly sundown, the clouds starting to turn pale colors of pink and orange. One of the older apprentices, Ravenpaw walks up to me.
"Hey want to go hunting?" He asks hopefully
"Uh, sure." I reply
We walk out of camp and he picks up the pace to a run, which I match with ease. We soon arrive atop a hill that overlooks the lake. The sight of the setting sun is beautiful. I can see the other territories and everything.
"I, come up here sometimes to think sometimes." He says quietly "Its really quiet and the sunset is best up here."
"It is pretty, thank you for showing me." I reply at a loss for anything els to say
"Come on, lets go hunt." He says as he stands
We run. Paws beating down on the ground. He leads me to where he says is an area rabbits visit often. When we arrive he flicks his tail to say that we need to be quiet. I watch as he looks for a rabbit. He finds one quickly, and after a seconds hesitation takes off in its direction catching it off guard. It begins to run but too late. He soon catches up to it and takes it down swiftly. He trots back to me and lays it down in a clump if grass.
"Your turn, but we should move somewhere else," he says "I think I scared them all away."
At this I laugh. He picks up his catch and we go to an area relatively close as we follow the scent of rabbits. I stop when I see two of them, sitting in a small area between a few rocks. They are nibbling on some kind of plant. I look around copying what Ravenpaw did. I see no holes that they could run to. So I creep a little closer and then run toward them. they take off in the same direction, which I assume means that there is a burrow nearby. I get close, then pounce.
Missing the rabbit. I stumble, but determined, I run faster than ever and pounce on the other rabbit. I take my catch back to where Ravenpaw is sitting open mouthed.
"Th-that was amazing!" He meows excitedly "you just didn't stop, even when you missed it. Your a great runner too."
I look up at the complement.
He continues "Are you sure your not WindClan?" He says jokingly
"Pretty sure." I reply "We should get back, it's getting dark." I meow as I look at the sky. The sun has disappeared.
"Well, thanks for hunting with me." He meows when we see the camp entrance. "It's great being with some cat who isn't my sibling."
"Your welcome." I meow warmly "it was a great time."
He smiles as we walk into camp and set our rabbits down on the freshkill pile. Across camp I see Heathertail give me a strange look then disappear into the warriors den.

As I lay in my nest I am unable to sleep. Then it hits me.
I was supposed to meet Tigerpaw at the border at moonhigh! I quietly get out of my nest and look out at the moon. It's just before moonhigh, I think I can make it. I pad to the Dirtplace tunnel and exit the way I did that first night. I look back at the camp behind me and run. I move across the moorland like a shadow. Swift and silent. Only the moon and stars to guide me.
I soon see the trees that mark the border between the clans. I slow, and cross the stream, carefully making my way to our meeting place. I see him by a bush, washing a paw. He turns suddenly and smiles when he sees its only me.
"It's great to see some cat who isn't constantly mooning over your sisters." He meows
I laugh "And who would be mooning over my sisters?
"We'll let's see, Goldenpaw has been talking nonstop about Glitterpaw to any cat who will listen." He meows and I smile at the thought "And then Blackpaw,"
I stop him
"Blackpaw?" I ask, completely surprised "you mean your brother, the pain in the tail Blackpaw?"
"Yes! And get this. He seems to have taken a liking to Willowpaw!" He finishes
I stand there trying to decide weather or not to burst into laughter, when I here a yowl somewhere in ThunderClan's forest.
Tigerpaw looks at me.
"We should check that out."
"What if its a fox, or a badger, or a rogue?" I ask, worried
"I think two apprentices should be fine." He says reassuringly
I nod and we take off toward the sound of the yowling, it seems pretty close. We soon come to a clearing, where none other than Dovewing is laying on the ground, limply.
"Dovewing! Are you alright? What happened?" Asks Tigerpaw quickly
She looks up at us in relief
"Get Jayfeather." Is all she says before squeezing her eyes shut and clamping her jaws so as not to call out again.
"Great StarClan!" I yell as I realize the problem "She's kitting!"
duh Duh DUH! Two apprentices alone in the forest with a kitting queen. What could go wrong?
Please review, if Ive made any mistakes don't be afraid to let me know.
