Chapter three: Perfect patrol

Soulkit pleaded him with an unforgivable smile, "Please… Grasspaw.. Teach me how to become a warrior!"

He rolled his eyes, "No, you already have me. You don't need to learn yourself." he growled back at her.

She looked shocked and looked away. "I thought you would never treat me as a royal, and anyways, if you die, I won't have anyone to become my company." Soulkit mumbled and curled up against his paw and ankle.

Grasspaw's pelt bristled without his attention and looked at the kit he is supposed to protect. "Fine. Even if I die, run to the nearest clan." he grumbled.

"Why can't we join a clan now? I like Stormclan…" she meowed quietly.

Grasspaw removed his ankle from her pelt and looked away. "There will be war, Marshclan would fight and kill anything in the way for you. It's Sunster's order I heard him tell to the senior warriors." he growled. "What happened to the peace?"

Soulkit still remained in that position, seemed like she is in a daze.

No matter what, they must not join a clan. It would cause troubles between Marshclan. Anyways, Marshclan is the strongest clan in the forest unless the other two clans help each other.

As he looked back, there she were, pleading with her eyes as bright as the daylight, hope becoming rays. It was really… Cute.

"Fine."

Soulkit exclaimed with glee and brushed her pelt against his and purred. "Stormclan!"

"How did you make up your mind already? I know that Snowclan is too bold-" Grasspaw began with the narrow of his eyes.

Her smile faded from her dusky face. "Some cat guided me there in my dream… Yesterday."

Grasspw twitched his ears. "Who is it? Do you remember it's pelt?" his curiosity began flowing through his veins.

"Um… Orange cat with.. really pale eyes?" she guessed. "His eyes is weird. It's really pale!"

"That is from Starclan alright. I remember that cat from an elder's story… Umm… It's… Vin!" he meowed. "He saved Oakstar from a dog recently."

Soulkit asked, "Could we go to Stormclan… Now? I want to learn and protect Stormclan as my birth clan!"

Grasspaw rolled his eyes with a "Sure," Soulkit decides finals very quickly! That's the easy part of her.

He led the way back to the Clan's territory and helped hide Soulkit's scent to get away from Marshclan. As they were walking, it was already Sun-high, Grasspaw caught something, while Soulkit tried to learn how to hunt by herself.

As they reached a huge river, Soulkit looked at Grasspaw, expecting them to not swim across the strong splashing river. "Don't worry, we will go by Marshclan's territory then." he flicked his tail to keep quiet and hid in some marshy clumps of green grass.

After quite some while, Marshclan's scent drifted past his nose. Quickly and quietly, he jabbed her side and began to bolt towards the One-bridge. As he looked around, Soulkit was right behind him, jumping over mud puddles or almost tripping over them.

"Get over this tree. Now." he ordered, aware of the sun high patrol.

Soulkit looked at him and scrambled up the tree's stump and bounded to the other side quickly, followed by Grasspaw.

"I wonder where Soulkit went." a group of voices sounded behind him.

"I don't know. But. I will kill Grasspaw! He must have taken by daughter somewhere!" That must be Sunstar. His voice was full of anger and hunger now.

Soulkit have already reached the other side, bounding into a orange bush. Grasspaw bursted up his speed and dashed into the bush.

He twitched his ears, wondering what they said, instead, he was already out of earshot across the wide river.

"Look here.. I found a Marshclan intruder, I presume." a voice filled with mockery sounded behind him. "Wait no, two."

The cat dragged Grasspaw's scruff from behind the bush, then reached in to drag Soulkit out. Grasspaw snarled at the tom, just around his size and leaped onto him, both cats rolling, crashing into a tree with Grasspaw first.

Pain stabbed his back as he struggled to stand up. He caught Soulkit's eyes filled with terror. As the tom began to charge, a calico she-cat growled with menace towards the tom.

"Grumbleclaw, you do not kill any cat. Period." her eyes cold as ice towards the tom as he shrank back. Her amber eyes looked at Grasspaw "Sorry, he is my old apprentice. He still haven't lost his temper."

Grasspaw looked at the gray, black tom. He had a violet black glare, which made Grasspaw shudder.

A soft voice called from the orange bush, "Grasspaw.. You there?" Soulkit's head popped out of the bush.

"Yea. I'm still alive. At least." he grumbled and almost dragged his pelt towards her.

Soulkit finally stepped out and sniffed his back. "You really… Okay?" she pressed her paw down on his back as pain shuddered through his nerves.

"Y-yea… I'm okay." he spoke through gritted teeth.

The calico she-cat looked at Soulkit. "Hey, aren't you Soulkit? The one that Sunstar brags about? Youngster, you won't be able to live on with that swore muscle."

Soulkit's eyes glittered. "What do you mean?" her voice was in crackles.

"I am Tawnybush, a senior warrior. The stupid cat over there is Grumbleclaw, the newest warrior. Soulkit, you will rest at Stormclan, Grasspaw, you must." Tawnybush stopped. "Well, with Oakstar's permission. I'm sure he will accept you two." her eyes was full of uncertainly.

Grasspaw rolled his eyes. "I bet Oakstar would accept us, intruders in" he thought to himself.

Soulkit's eyes glittered much brighter. "Thank you!"

Grumbleclaw grunted next to Tawnybush as an another cat reached their side. "Tawnybush! Who is this?" he had a brown dusky pelt with a sleek pelt.

"We are bringing them to Oakstar. One of them is wounded." she shot a glare at Grumbleclaw and started walking. "Follow, youngsters." The two other toms looked at Soulkit and followed the senior warrior.

Soulkit nosed him up, "You can do it!" she allowed him to share some weight onto her as he began to stumble.

"Stormclan is going to be awesome!" she squeaked.

Grasspaw twitched his ears. "Only if Oakstar accepts us." he stumbled across a rock.

A/N: Sorry guys. I'm really horrible with battle scenes…. Just to tell you guys, till a week from now, I will finish a chapter ever three days. (This one is one day including the rests) I just don't have the wifi to upload it! I would get lazy because I will be so into the up coming semester! I love school/college/university, I usually only write when there is no wifi or I am really bored.

Did you see the writing difference? This is my old way, just using better grammar and punctuation skills. Without the wifi, I can't send this chapter for it to edit to my friend. (No!) Questions? P.M. me or send in a review! I will answer them in the next chapter for those without a account.

QOTC 1(Question Of The Chapter): Any constructive criticisms for battle scenes? Thanks!

QOTC 2: Which cat you love the most? (I LOVE GRASSPAW xoxo. I almost wrote his warrior name lol)

See you guys soon!
