Chapter 5

"This is Four Trees, where we have our Gatherings," Cliffstar pointed with her tail. "And that is our border with HawkClan. Patchfur showed you the rest of the territory, correct?" I quickly nodded. Cliffstar and I were beginning my training. She was showing me the rest of our territory.

"Well, now that you know TreeClan territory, it's time you learn to hunt. First show me how you think you would stalk a mouse," I immediately crouched down with my tail straight up in the air.

"Tail down, without moving it! Make it as straight as a stick." I lowered my tail, and I noticed Cliffstar purr with approval. "Good job, Sunpaw. Now remember to always stay downwind of your prey so they can't smell you. Do you see that leaf?" I nodded. "Pounce on it," I pounced and landed hard on the leaf.

Cliffstar pointed out my mistakes. "That was an alright pounce, but you were far too loud. Mice will feel your paw steps before they see or hear you, so step lightly. Move as silently as you can," she pointed to another leaf. "Pounce on that leaf." I was determined to impress my mentor.

I wiggled my haunches. My paws lightly touched the forest floor. The leaf was in pouncing distance. I leaped onto the leaf and bit it as if it were a mouse.

"That was great! Let's try the real thing," she smelled the air, walked a little bit, smelled the air again, then said, "There's a mouse around here. See if you can catch it."

"Okay," I opened my mouth to scent the air. Mouse! I instinctively dropped down into my hunter's crouch. The mouse was directly in front of me. I walked slowly forward, making sure to take light steps. Now! I pounced, landed on the mouse, and bit its neck with a killing bite.

Cliffstar observed my every move. "You're a natural hunter, Sunpaw. That's all I will teach you today, but tomorrow we will start climbing. Give that mouse to Tallnose, and then you may rest. You've had a few long days." I nodded my thanks. Right before I started the run towards camp I noticed Cliffstar claw her way up a nearby tree. I suddenly remembered Owlkit. Eaglepaw had never been the same after his death.

I ran back to camp. It was about sun high with cats lying lazily around the camp. Flowerstorm and her sister, Spottedtail, were sharing tongues outside the warrior den. I noticed Flowerstorm glance at Dustfeather, who was stretched out in the sun.

"Hey Sunpaw," Badgerpaw stepped out of the Apprentice den. "Pretty slow day, right?"

I nodded. "It's so hot no one wants to even move," I purred. Even though we were joking, what I'd said was true. The sun beat down on the camp. Cats with long fur, like Wetnose, were settling down in shade whenever they could.

All I have to do is relax. Tomorrow will be fun, but for now, it's time to relax, I told myself. Badgerpaw started telling me about his second day of training. I smiled and nodded, but I wasn't really listening. Once he finished he started grooming me, and then I took my turn to groom him. Everything was silent and okay.

"I'll take Twigfoot, Grayheart, Breezepaw, and Sunpaw," Cliffstar jumped off the High Tree and onto the ground. The cats she had decided to patrol with padded up to where she stood. "Everybody ready?" Everyone nodded. We then set off towards our border with PondClan.

As we were walking, Cliffstar asked, "What do you smell, Sunpaw?" I scented the air. Just as I was about to say squirrel, Breezepaw replied.

"HawkClan. I smell HawkClan!" I also scented the air and was disappointed to find he was right. I gave him a glare.

Cliffstar opened her mouth. "There are only two cats." She walked straight towards where we could smell them. The cats weren't trying to be silent. They were stomping around crunching on every branch.

The two HawkClan members came into view. One was a black and white she-cat and the other was a dark tabby tom with a long scar on his nose.

Cliffstar spoke, "Brightwing and Scarnose. What are you doing on TreeClan territory, especially so soon after a battle?"

It was Brightwing that spoke. "Forgive us, Cliffstar, but we come with urgent news. You must come to the Moonpool with Snowstar and me. It's important that you come at once."

"But shouldn't our Medicine Cats come?" Cliffstar asked.

Brightwing shook her head. "I'm sorry Cliffstar. StarClan told me just Snowstar, you, and me."

"Very well. But I will bring one warrior with me. Grayheart?" the gray tom nodded. She then spoke to Twigfoot. "Go back to camp straight away with these apprentices. They need to clean Tallnose's den, feed the queens, and then I want you, Sunpaw, Breezepaw, and Flowerstorm to finish this border patrol and hunt a little. Ripplefur's in charge and make sure you tell him where I am. I'll be back by Moonhigh."

Twigfoot nodded, and then Grayheart, Cliffstar, and Brightwing started running away. As we were walking back towards the camp, I asked Twigfoot, "Why does HawkClan hate us?"

He answered, "Cliffstar and Snowstar have never been friends. They accuse each other of prey-stealing and border crossing all the time. The last battle was because HawkClan wanted more territory that Cliffstar wanted to keep."

I twitched my ears. "But why aren't Cliffstar and Snowstar friends?"

Twigfoot shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not a senior warrior. You would have to ask someone like Greenheart or Tallnose."

We were almost back to camp when Breezekit said, "Great StarClan, you're really not smart at all, are you?"

I looked straight at him. "What did you say?" I sliced my tail through the air angrily. How dare he call me not smart?

"You're a mouse-brain. How would Twigfoot know why Cliffstar and Snowstar don't like each other?" Breezepaw sneered in my face.

"Well I don't know! I was just wondering, but anyway, how would you know?" Twigfoot had kept walking while Breezepaw and I stood only a few mouse-tails apart.

"Come on, Sunpaw and Breezepaw! We have to get back to camp!" Twigfoot yelled over his shoulder before continuing. But we didn't follow him. We just kept staring into each other's' eyes.

"I don't know, and only older warriors know what happened. But obviously you're too much of a stupid flea-brain!" I noticed him unsheathe his claws. I did the same.

"You are such a-a-a… foxhearted furball!" Twigfoot turned around after I yelled that. He started to walk back towards us.

"Sunpaw, Breezepaw, we really have to leave-," Breezepaw lunged at me with his claws unsheathed. He was a lot bigger than when we were kits. Last time we fought he wasn't much bigger than me. Now he was easily twice the size of me.

I rabbit-kicked his underbelly. He was thrown off but immediately came back towards me. His huge paw came down near my head. Breezepaw might've been big, but I had the speed advantage. I jumped out of the way just as he was about to hit me. My claws seemed extra sharp, and I scratched his ear. It started to bleed and was cut into two pieces. He tried to swing out at me again, but I easily dodged him and swiped out with my claws out again. I struck his nose, and it also started to bleed.

Just as he was about to jump at me, Twigfoot dived on top of him. Twigfoot is one of TreeClan's smallest warriors, but he beat Breezepaw in size. Breezepaw was pinned to the ground, and only struggled a little until he realized he couldn't move.

"Are you two done?" Twigfoot asked angrily. We both nodded. Twigfoot scooted off of him and he immediately stood up and licked his chest in embarrassment. Breezepaw's ear was torn into a scar, the bridge of his nose was bleeding, and as he walked away I noticed a slight limp. Nothing hurt, which basically means I won the fight, I noticed with satisfaction.

The rest of the walk back to camp was awkward. Breezepaw gave me looks that I returned. Once we got back Twigfoot told us we were confined to the camp until Sunhigh tomorrow.

As soon as Twigfoot had walked away, I snarled to Breezepaw, "I hate you." He smiled, flicked his tail, and walked away. What an annoying furball!

Ok! Well that's the end of Chapter 5! You might've noticed that this story has Four Trees and the Moonpool, but that's because I like those better than the Moonstone and Island. I'm adding a few kitty-pets that my reviewers can make appearances and personalities for! Their names are Jewel, Storm, Stripe, Jasper, and Lou. Breezepaw is so just so easy and fun to right about! My favorite character (besides Sunpaw) is definitely Breezepaw! Review who your favorite character of my story is and remember to R&R!
