Hi guys! Sorry for the wait! Here is chapter 7! :)

CHAPTER 7

(Bramblepaw's POV)

"What are we doing today?" Bramblepaw asked rushing over to Chippedbird.

"I don't know what I'm doing yet but you are cleaning the elders den," he replied with a small hint of sympathy. Bramblepaw's tail drooped, she'd hoped he'd forgotten!

Mistypaw padded slowly over to her friend, "Its not going to be too bad, Bramblepaw. Moorpaw's nice once you get to know him!" Bramblepaw rolled her eyes. She wished Rainpaw were here! He'd at least be fun to work with. With a jolt Bramblepaw remembered her promise to the RiverClan tom, Oh StarClan I'll have to sneak off in the night to see a RiverClan apprentice when I'm not supposed to be out of camp especially not at night!

Moorpaw stomped grumpily over to her, "Hey Bramble lets get to work!" he muttered, Bramblepaw's fur bristled.

"Don't call me that!" she hissed.

Moorpaw smiled, "Whatever Bramble!"

"At least I'm not hare brained!" she retorted, Moorpaw's eyes flash and Bramblepaw resisted the urge to pounce on him. Shaking out her fur Bramblepaw turned tail and padded towards the elders den, upon entering she wrinkled her nose. Did a skunk die in here? She wondered, and was just about to pad slowly away when Patchfeather spotted her.

"Thornpaw come in! Is Harepaw with you? I was told you to would be cleaning the elders den and I hope you do a good job because the last cat what was her name? Oh yeah! Fluffypaw she left thorns about sticks and-"

"Uhh my names Bramblepaw not Thornpaw and Moorpaw's name isn't Harepaw though he is hare brained-"

"I heard that!" Moorpaw hisseed.

Bramblepaw ignored him, "And I believe you mean Softpaw not Fluffypaw" she continued.

Patchfeather nodded thoughtfully, "Oh yes, yes that's what I meant, names are getting away from me these days. Well Briarpaw and Rabbitpaw I hope you can clean nests better." he grumbled, Moorpaw exchanged a glance with her and Bramblepaw mouths back just leave it he won't figure are names out anyway.

"Snailshell have you been hunting lately?" Moorpaw asked as he picked a large tick out of her paw.

Snailshell's tortoiseshell fur began to bristle, "Well what do you expect me to do? Sit around in a nest all day while you youngsters have all the fun? No way! That's not for me" she muttered.

Bramblepaw smiled."Of course not! What Moorpaw means is he's impressed that you hunt at such an age" she explained.

Patchfeather laughed, "I wouldn't say she hunts, all Snailshell can come up with is a butterfly!" he teased, Snailshell cuffed his ear.

"I'd like to see you do better!" she argued just as Swiftdawn padded into the den.

"Sorry to interupt but could one of you watch my kits for me while I'm hunting?" she asked, Moorpaw wrinkled his nose at the word kits but Bramblepaw smiled, she loved playing with the kits.

"Of course I will!" she mewed happily, Swiftdawn smiled before padding from the den, Bramblepaw followed.

"Tell us a story!" Poolkit begged.

"Yeah! One about the forest!" Darkkit added.

"No! Tell us about the battle with ShadowClan!" Talonkit argued, Bramblepaw sighed licking Talonkit's forehead.

"I'll make up a story." she decided, the kits squeal in delight. Will I ever have kits with Rainpaw? She wondered but quickly shakes away the thought, were just friends!

"Alright once upon a time in a Clan far, far away there lived a kit named Squirrelkit." Bramblepaw began.

"Why was she named Squirrelkit?" Darkkit asked.

"Yeah why! Did she climb trees?" Poolkit pressed.

Bramblepaw smiled, "I'll explain but don't interrupt" she meowed,

"Okay we won't!" Darkkit promised.

"As I was saying Squirrelkit lived in another Clan, this Clan was called SkyClan-"

"Fawnheart told us stories about SkyClan!" Talonkit squeaked.

Bramblepaw ignored him."Anyway Squirrelkit was a very curious cat and one day she decided to sneak out of camp-" Another voice cut off her story but this time it wasn't one of the kits it was the voice of Rainpaw! Bramblepaw ordered the kits to stay in the den before rushing from the nursery and into camp. Sure enough, Rainpaw, Frogwater and a long haired white tom were standing in the camp.

"ShadowClan and ThunderClan are attacking our camp!" Rainpaw explained before stumbling to the ground,

"RAINPAW!" Bramblepaw yowled rushing to his side.

Mistypaw padded over to her friend, "Do you know him?" she questioned through narrowed eyes, Bramblepaw gulped.

"Uhh, no! I mean yes! I met him on patrol...but Mistypaw look he's hurt!" she rolled Rainpaw onto his belly revealing a deep gash.

Cloudstar rushed into the middle of camp, "Clayfoot, Fawnheart, Snowspirit, Jaybreeze, Redwing, Vinetail, Mistypaw and Littlepaw come with me the rest of the Clan guard the camp ThunderClan and ShadowClan may try to invade!" he ordered, the cats mentioned raced after their leader and for once Bramblepaw is glad she isn't one of them.

"Dawnfire! Rainpaw needs help!" Bramblepaw meowed, the orange and white she-cat is already rushing from her den, herbs in her jaws.

Bramblepaw turns to Frogwater and the other RiverClan warrior, "Rainpaw will be fine, go help your Clan!" she ordered, the two warriors look surprised an apprentice is ordering them around but they nod and rush out of camp. Turning to Dawnfire she asks, "Will he be okay?" Dawnfire plastered the final leaf onto Rainpaw's side and nodded.

"Yes he just needs to rest, help me move him to my den," she meowed, breathing a sigh of relief Bramblepaw helped Dawnfire hoist Rainpaw onto her shoulders. Once he's laying in a soft nest in the medicine den Bramblepaw curls up beside him breathing in his scent, she sighed, oh Rainpaw I love you and please be okay!

Hope u liked it! Snailshell pluishes for the reviewers!
