Ch.7

"Hey, Brookpaw, you missed the spot near the base of my tail," Flamesky's amber eyes glowed teasingly.

Brookpaw had been taking care of Flamesky for AGES now and she was starting to get impatient. All she wanted to do was see the borders for the first time.

Flamesky rolled his eyes at the new apprentice, "I'm just teasing, go explore the territory with Spottedsky."

"Ok!" Brookpaw squeaked as she ran out of the elders den to find Spottedsky.

She smelt around for her young mentor and found her near the camp-entrance. When Spottedsky saw that her apprentice was looking for her she meowed at Brookpaw to come over.

"About time," Spottedsky mumbled as she led Brookpaw out of camp.

"Sorry, Flamesky had a beaver-load of ticks on him," Brookpaw mumbled.

The two she-cats padded along the border until they reached Shadowclan's.

"What do you smell?" Spottedsky asked.

"A really nasty scent… kinda smells like pine and swamp," Brookpaw wrinkled up her nose.

"That's Shadowclan scent," Spottedsky continued. "Right now Shadowclan and Thunderclan are at peace. Lightstar doesn't really like to fight much. But, with leaf bare coming soon they are bound to push the borders."

Brookpaw dipped her head respectfully and the two cats headed off to the lake border. Brookpaw's jaw dropped when she heard the waves lapping. By how much noise the lake was making she knew it must be huge.

"The border is set three tail lengths from the lake, that way a cat can get to any clan or to a gathering without crossing a border. Still, you don't want to trod on no-cats land unless you have a very important reason to," Spottedsky starred warningly at the apprentice.

"I wouldn't," Brookpaw assured her.

Spottedsky started to walk on.

"Isn't Riverclan over on the other side of the lake?" Brookpaw asked.

Spottedsky spun around, startled. Then she re-gained her posture.

"Yes, Riverclan is over there, you will meet them at the next gathering," Spottedsky said as she continued on down the border and Brookpaw ran after her.

After a while Spottedsky stopped and whispered to Brookpaw, "We're nearing the Windclan border. They have been extremely picky and they DO want a fight. Don't do anything to provoke them. Let's just say Thunderclan and Windclan aren't on good terms right now."

Brookpaw dipped her head to show Spottedsky that she understood as the two she-cats came up on the Windclan border.

"Is that Windclan scent?" Brookpaw asked as she got a sniff of heather and rabbit.

"Yes," Spottedsky replied.

Brookpaw could feel some vibrations coming off of the Windclan territory and she flicked her tail at Spottedsky.

"Windclan," Spottedsky whispered urgently.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Brookpaw heard a loud voice boom out from Windclan's border.

"Looks like a puny Thunderclan warrior and an untrained apprentice," another warrior stated.

Spottedsky cut in, "Jetstar, Flashfoot, Crowwing, Huskleaf, we don't want to provoke a fight. I was just showing Brookpaw the borders."

Brookpaw could hear the Windclan warriors whispering. She felt one of them prepare to pounce and was about to yell to Spottedsky a warning. The tom leaped and all Brookpaw had time to do was make sure to leap out of the way. She could feel Spottedsky and one of the other Windclan toms wrestling nearby.

"Brookpaw, RUN!" Spottedsky
cried out as another Windclan cat prepared to pounce on the untrained apprentice. Brookpaw started to scramble when another tom blocked her path.

"Going somewhere?" the tom growled as he pinned Brookpaw to the forest floor.

"Jetstar! She's a newly trained apprentice. Let her go!" Spottedsky screamed at the tom.

"Oh sure… and lose our bargaining chip?" Jetstar snorted. "Huskleaf, let go of Spottedsky, she's no use to us. We need her to go back to Thunderclan and warn them that their apprentice is missing."

Huskleaf let go of Spottedsky as Jetstar drug Brookpaw into Windclan territory. Spottedsky tried to rush to Brookpaw but Jetstar knocked her back.

"If you try to get her I will kill her. Now go back to your camp and warn the others," Jetstar hissed.

Spottedsky turned tail and ran as the Windclan warriors roughly drug Brookpaw back to their camp.
