Chapter 6
For the first half-moon of Sagepaw's warrior training, she had struggled. She was a good hunter and had almost mastered the hunting crouch, but she couldn't seem to get better at battle training. Sagepaw began to wonder if there was another role in the clan for her, a way to earn respect without fighting.
Sagepaw was considering asking to become a medicine cat apprentice. Hawkwing was a well-respected member of the clan, and was gentle and kind. He had been kind to Sagepaw when she was a kit when most other cats rejected her. Sagepaw wondered if she would do better serving her clan as a medicine cat than as a warrior. She was thinking about this when she received a hard jab on her back, waking her up from her sleep.
"Get up Sagekit!" Sagepaw shot up and turned around to see Bouncepaw jabbing her with an unsheathed claw.
"Ow! Okay, I'm up!" Sagepaw exclaimed.
"Unfortunately, I have the pleasure of having to go on the dawn patrol with you," Bouncepaw meowed while he started cleaning himself. Sagepaw woke up fully when she heard this.
"I'm going on the dawn patrol? With who?"
"Yes, but I don't know what Wrenstar was thinking because you are surely not going to be a warrior. The patrol consists of Wrenstar, Clawslash, me, and you."
"Okay." Sagepaw thought that today would be a good day to tell Wrenstar that she was thinking about becoming a medicine cat apprentice rather than a warrior apprentice. Sagepaw walked out of the den to get some fresh-kill to eat.
As she finished her fresh-kill, Wrenstar walked up to Sagepaw. "Come on Sagepaw, we're going on the dawn patrol today."
"I know," Sagepaw meowed back.
"Well then, let's go!" Wrenstar meowed as she led Clawslash, Bouncepaw, and Sagepaw to the camp exit. Clawslash, who was now Bouncepaw's mentor, was glaring at Sagepaw with ice, cold eyes. "That's not creepy," Sagepaw thought. Clawslash had been one of the meanest cats to her. Even his name was mean.
Wrenstar led the cats out to the Heatherclan border. They marked the border and continued on towards the Forestclan border.
"Stop staring at me kit!" Clawslash suddenly screeched at Sagepaw.
"What did I do?" Sagepaw asked. Clawslash responded to her by leaping at her. He tore out a few clumps of her fur before she could react. Sagepaw groaned and bit at one of Clawslash's paws.
"Enough!" Wrenstar exclaimed. "Clawslash, go back to camp right now with Bouncepaw! You will be punished later."
"Fine," Clawslash simply meowed and he led Bouncepaw back to camp.
"I'm going to get you back to camp." Wrenstar meowed. "You're badly injured. Here, lean on me so you can walk easier."
As Sagepaw leaned against Wrenstar as she led the way back to camp, she started to feel quite dizzy. They finally got back to camp and Wrenstar rushed Sagepaw into the medicine den.
"What happened?" Hawkwing meowed, shocked at the sight of Sagepaw battered and bloody. "Lay her down here," Hawkwing meowed urgently to Wrenstar while pointing to a small pile of moss.
Wrenstar set Sagepaw down on the moss. Sagepaw was still very dizzy and was struggling to see things clearly. She saw Hawkwing come over with some leaves in his mouth.
"Sagepaw, I'm going to put a poultice on your wounds. It may sting but you will be okay."
After Hawkwing told this to Sagepaw, he put on the poultice, and the pain was so intense that it caused Sagepaw to black out once again.
