Chapter 3

Heatherpaw opened her eyes to bright sunshine. She was instantly alert, jumping to her paws and nearly trampling Moonpaw. It had been two moons since her apprentice ceremony and she hadn't told anyone about her new gift... Not even her sister. Moonpaw slowly yawned and lifted her head, blinking the sleep from her green eyes.
"Heatherpaw, would it hurt for once to let me wake up without having my tail stepped on?" Heatherpaw rolled her eyes and gave her sister a playful cuff over the ear.
"I'm sorry, but in case you hadn't noticed, its sun high and we are both still not up. So if you don't mind, I think I'll go and see why we haven't been woken." The truth was, Heatherpaw still wasn't used to her new powers, so waking up knowing what the whole clan was up to was frightening for her. But Moonpaw didn't need to know that, not yet anyway. Moonpaw shook out her black pelt and slowly got to her paws, looking expectantly at her sister.
"Well! Are you going or am I going to have to wait for leafbare to arrive!" Heatherpaw purred at her sister's impatient tone. She never had been a morning cat! She slinked out of her den and scanned the clearing until her gaze fell upon a silver and white she-cat standing in the middle of the clearing. She looked incredibly thin, each of her ribs visible beneath her short fur, which needed a thorough groom.

Bramblestar was staring down on her from high ledge, and Heatherpaw could see his confusion. She quickly padded up to Lionblaze and hissed
"what's going on?" Lionblaze signalled with his tail for her to sit and explained.
"The dawn patrol found her unconscious just inside the boarder. She woke up a moment ago and Bramblestar is questioning her!" Heatherpaw turned her attention to the silver she cat.
"What is your name?" Bramblestar boomed over the excited crowd that had gathered. The silver cat gazed up at Bramblestar with wide eyes
"Frost" she mewed
"and how old are you frost?"
"8 moons." She replied after a moment of thought.
"And why were you in ThunderClan territory?" Frost sat down and sighed.
"My mother abandoned me when I was 4 moons old. Ever since then I've been wandering around, trying to find shelter and food, but my mother never taught me to hunt and I've been chased out of every place I've tried to stay." Frost then sighed and lowered her head "I guess I'd better get going." She sighed and headed towards the entrance. Heatherpaw couldn't help but feel sad for the loner. She had been alone for so long. 'Surely Bramblestar will let her stay for one night at least!'
"Wait!" All heads whipped round to face Bramblestar "Travel safely, Frost." He said sadly. The silver she cat nodded, then carried on out of camp. After a moment of silence cats began to gossip about what had just happened then they went back to their usual jobs.
"I'll see you later." Lionblaze meowed as he got up and joined a hunting patrol. Heatherpaw scanned the sandy hollow until her gaze fell upon her mentor's bright ginger pelt. Squirrelflight spotted her and beckoned with her tail. Heatherpaw quickly padded over.
"Heatherpaw, you weren't awake when he announced it but Bramblestar said you could come to the gathering with me. However..." Squirrelflight's gaze flicked to her mate who had just joined them. "May we have a moment?" She inquired. Bramblestar looked from Squirrelflight to Heatherpaw and said slowly.
"Sure, but make it quick. I need you two for the hunting patrol." With that he got up and slinked off to his den. 'Hmmm... I guess he feels bad for what he did to frost' she thought as she followed her mentor out of camp. When they were far enough in to the dense, green undergrowth Squirrelflight sat down and looked worriedly at Heatherpaw.
"Heatherpaw... Something hasn't been quite right with you since you're apprentice ceremony. The old Heatherpaw, or should I say Heatherkit, was different. What's going on?" Heatherpaw gulped and studied her paws. She knew she couldn't lie her way out of this one. She took a deep breath, looked her mentor in the eye and told her everything.

0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Heatherpaw walked into camp, carrying her catch. She never came into camp empty pawed because her powers enabled her to perfectly pinpoint her pray from several fox lengths away. Squirrelflight followed her slowly, keeping a close eye on her apprentice. She had taken the news very well, reassuring Heatherpaw that they would work with her powers and use them for good. She was glad she had Squirrelflight as her mentor. She was the only person other than Moonpaw that really got her. She placed her prey on the pile and was greeted by Bramblestar.
"Heatherpaw?" He meowed slowly. Heatherpaw held her breath. 'What now? Did I not catch enough?'
"Yes?" She said anxiously. Her leader walked out of camp and called over his shoulder.
"I need you to go on a mission." Heatherpaw tried not to let her shock show as she stuttered.
"What do I need to do?" Bramblestar sat down and blinked his big amber eyes.
"I need you to find Frost."

AN: I couldn't think of anything to write so I'm sorry if it's a bit short! I am going to move a ThunderClan she-cat to the nursery… BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE. Please say which she cat you think it should be and what their kits are called! PLS R&R!
