Okay, this takes place AFTER Sparrowpaw is made Pricklestar's apprentice. He still doesn't really like her so he is kind of a mean mentor… this is where she starts to train. Here it is!

Oh and to patch up some confusion. Rileypaw is named that because Moonberry's mother was a kittypet named Riley. I went wrong with Rileysong, so I changed it back to Mintwillow sorry about that. I also deleted the prologue.

And for Fastblaze, I already made all the Thunderclan cats, but if you would like, I can have her switch clans in the plot. And for Winxclubfan, I will have Sandkit be born soon.

Sparrowpaw padded into the forest with her new mentor, Pricklestar, Rileypaw, Oceanfall, Heatherpaw, Fuzzwhisker, Mintwillow, and Bubblepaw. They were going to see the forest today. Sparrowpaw was excited and hoped she would find similar things to what was in Starclan camp. Sparrowpaw shivered as a cool breeze swept past them. A lot colder than Starclan, She thought to herself. As the group a place with stones, Pricklestar made them halt.

"This is Snakerocks" Pricklestar told the apprentices. Oceanfall nodded and added, "It is very dangerous, and adders are everywhere." Sparrowpaw saw Mintwillow lean over and mew in Bubblepaw's ear, "There are usually no herbs here" she whispered, "But sometimes, you might need to check here"

Sparrowpaw wondered what an adder was, but she kept silent. Pricklestar kept talking to the other apprentices, taking no notice of Sparrowpaw. She decided she would find out what a snake was herself. She started to enter Snakerocks until Fuzzwhisker whipped his head around. "Adder!" He yowled, "Sparrowpaw get out!"

Sparrowpaw quickly jumped out and she saw gleaming yellow eyes staring at her. She creature slid out of the shadows. It was long and had no feet. When it opened its mouth, sharp fangs with a liquid on it appeared. "Run" Pricklestar whispered. Sparrowpaw didn't need to be told twice, she sped off following the other cats. She and Bubblepaw were lagging behind a bit, but the snake was still slower. They stopped when they knew they had outrun the snake. Pricklestar whipped around. "We said it was dangerous" He snarled through clenched teeth, "If I see you do anything so mouse-brained again, I promise you will be out of Thunderclan quicker than you can pass an injured turtle."

Sparrowpaw nodded blankly. She didn't want to be kicked out of another clan. What was such a terrifying thing doing there? "We will be going in another direction" Mintwillow suddenly meowed, "Bubblepaw should know where to find herbs rather than to hunt, Goodbye" The other cats nodded and they padded off. "We will be going to Tallpines." Fuzzwhisker stated. Pricklestar flicked his tail in agreement.

When the older cats started to move, the apprentices followed. "This is so exciting!" Rileypaw mewed. "I think we should just start hunting and fighting!" Heatherpaw bellowed, pretending to be swiping at something with his claws. Fuzzwhisker turned to his apprentice. "Hush, Heatherpaw." He mewed sternly. Heatherpaw shut his mouth, grumbling something Sparrowpaw didn't catch. "What was that?" Fuzzwhisker questioned. Heatherpaw turned slowly. "Nothing" He grumbled.

Sparrowpaw saw some really tall trees that looked spiky. I'm guessing these are pines, she thought. "This is Tallpines" Oceanfall said to the apprentices, "You can climb trees here and there is often prey."

Sparrowpaw sniffed the air and caught a trace of squirrel. "Can I try to hunt?" She asked. Pricklestar shook his head, "That is something you will learn another time"

Sparrowpaw felt disappointed but knew better then to argue with a clan leader. "Can we go somewhere else now?' Rileypaw pressed, "There is nothing to do here." With no hesitation, Pricklestar led the way to a new place. "I wonder where we are going now." Sparrowpaw meowed. Nobody replied so she decided to keep silent. Her paws were over sand and she shook them. "Dumb sand, getting between my toes," She grumbled. She noticed the cats stopped walking. Pricklestar nodded for Fuzzwhisker to speak. "This is the Sandy Hollow" Fuzzwhisker explained, "Apprentices often train here, since the sand doesn't hurt as much to land in."

The apprentices nodded in understanding. Sparrowpaw wanted to test it out. She leapt and spread her paws to expose her belly and fell. "What are you doing?" Heatherpaw snickered. Sparrowpaw got to her paws and shook herself, sand clouding the air. "I just wanted to see if it wouldn't hurt" She stated. Heatherpaw burst out laughing. "Well" He cried between laughs, " I can't wait to see you have to groom that off your fur.

Rileypaw came over to them. "What's so funny?" She asked. Heatherpaw was still snickering, "She purposely fell into the sand," He told her, "She wanted to see if it would hurt" Rileypaw started to giggle as well. "Sparrowpaw," She meowed, "You have the best sense of humor."

Sparrowpaw felt kind of bad. It wasn't to be funny. "Okay calm down" Pricklestar grunted, "We still have one more place to go to." He continued, "Follow me" Pricklestar padded off, Oceanfall and Fuzzwhisker walking next to him. Sparrowpaw followed.

BREEEEP. Sparrowpaw heard a loud sound then a large cloud of smoke covered them. Sparrowpaw coughed. What was that? As if to answer her question, Oceanfall mewed, "This is the Thunderpath, what just came across us was a monster, ferocious creatures they are. But don't worry; they hardly ever leave the Thunderpath."

Sparrowpaw looked back to the Thunderpath. Why was one creature so loud and dirty? "We should get going, before another monster comes by" Pricklestar said.

The sun started to set and Sparrowpaw was back in the Thunderclan camp. Bubblepaw gave her a tour of the camp earlier before. "Want to grab a bite to eat?" Bubblepaw asked. Sparrowpaw's belly rumbled. "Definitely!"

Bubblepaw padded off towards the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a shrew and a thrush. She put them down in front of Sparrowpaw. "Which do you want?" Bubblepaw asked. Sparrowpaw looked at the two scrawny pieces of prey. That isn't even enough to just fill me, she thought. "Hey Bubblepaw, don't you think we should eat more than this?"

Bubblepaw looked at the ground. "We can't, the rest of the food needs to feed other warriors"

"You mean, there isn't enough for everyone?"

"No."

"Can't the warriors just get off their lazy hindquarters and just get more?"

"That's what they have been doing all day."

There was a silence. Why was there so little prey to be found? In Starclan, there was almost too much for everyone. She wished she could go back. "I guess I'll have the Thrush," Sparrowpaw tried to sound kind. The two ate their food quickly. Bubblepaw yawned. "Why don't we find ourselves some nice nests" She mewed, "Leafmist and Sunfeather just moved out, we can use theirs."

Sparrowpaw nodded and trekked off to the apprentices den. "Hey, Sparrowpaw" A russet tom spoke to her, "I'm Cherrypaw" Sparrowpaw smiled, "Hi"

Rileypaw came in and sat in a newly made nest next to Heatherpaw. "Hey lazy butts," She teased Bubblepaw and Sparrowpaw, "Why don't you fix up your nests already." Sparrowpaw looked over at the two old, dirty nests. "Right we will get to that." She mumbled. "Come on Bubblepaw, lets collect some moss."

It was dark. Bubblepaw and Sparrowpaw came in with bundles of moss. Mintwillow popped her head in the den. "Hey Bubblepaw, you sleep in my den, remember?" Bubblepaw looked confused for a second, then nodded. "Sorry Sparrowpaw, I'll see you in the morning!"

Bubblepaw padded off and Sparrowpaw set up a nest next to Cherrypaw. She blushed and lay down into her nest. The gentle snores of the other apprentices soon put her to sleep.

Goodnight, she heard the voice of Moonberry in her head

Goodnight, she replied.
