Attention! I am going to make the chapters longer for you guys. But this means it might take a little more time to do them. Enjoy!
Fresh sunshine flowed beautifully into the warriors' den. Next to me lied Pebblestone, who was in deep slumber. I rise to my paws and pad out of the den, into the clearing. Most cats were still asleep, but the apprentices were not one of them. Shadowpaw and Skypaw were fighting, pawing at one another with sheathed claws.
As I begin to walk toward them, Shadowpaw's gaze falls opon; her eyes shone with excitement. "Roseclaw!" meows Shadowpaw, quickly padding over to me, ignoring her fight, "I was hoping we could go to the training hollow today. Ashwhisker is taking Pinepaw; and Ashisker wants to see how you fight."
"Uhh.. alright, I guess." I meow, failing to hide the uneasiness in my voice.
"Are you alright?" Shadowpaw meows, "Did you already have something planned? 'Cus could go Ashwhisker that-"
"No," I interrupt, "Its alright. I did have something planned but... i-it wasn't that important." Before Shadowpaw could answer, Ashwhisker comes up beside me, meowing, "Morning Roseclaw, ready to show your skills?"
"Are we leaving right now?" I mew. He nods, padding away towards his apprentice, Pinepaw. You are from ThunderClan I think, the sentence echoing in my head.
By the time we finished training, it was already Sunhigh.
"Pinepaw," Meows Ashwhisker, "What do you smell?" I watch the young apprentice take in a deep breath, wrinkling his noses in disgust.
"Thunderclan!" Hisses Pinepaw, his claws unsheathed.
"Don't get you fur in a not Pinepaw," mews Shadowpaw . "We are just near the border, thats all. Now put your claws away before you hurt yourself." Pinepaw turns to glare at Shadowpaw. But before he could reply, Shadowpaw continues. "Besides, Thunder clan isn't that bad. I mean, the are just like us, aren't they?"
Ashwhisker glares at the young she-cat, his eyes wide with fury.
"ThunderClan is NOT like us!" he begins, his rage burning on. "ThunderClan is weak! They once had a kittypet for a leader. They are NOTHING like us, nothing at all! Don't forget that. And you-" He turns his gaze to me-"Teach your apprentice to respect her clan." He begins to walk back to the camp, beckoning Pinepaw, to follow him, with the flick on his tail.
Shadowpaw sighs and begins to paw at the ground, "Roseclaw?" she begins, "Can you keep a secret? Like, even from Wolfstar and Ashwhisker?"
"Sure," I answer gently, "Whats on your mind?"
After several heart beats, she replies quietly, "I don't want to become a ShadowClan warrior."
