Hello again, woo Amberpaw, i'm bored. The story won't be spending that much time when she is an apprentice, for my plot mostly takes place when she is a warrior.

Chapter 2, Amberpaw's POV
I was jolted awake by a painful stab in the flank.
My eyes popped open.
Cloverpaw was smiling in her sly sort of way.
"Oops, must have kicked you on accident." The way she said it made it obvious it wasn't an accident.
I sighed and sat up, grooming my sleep ruffled pelt.
My tail flicked back and forth, catching the light of the shells and pebbles on the roof of the den and making fur dance with patterns of light.
When i had finished grooming, i stepped into the dawn light.
I sighed, this time a happy sigh, it was my first dawn as an apprentice, and hopefully my new reputation.
I didn't want to be that useless crippled cat everyone thought i was, i wanted to be special, be needed, and i planned to start that today.
I arched my back, letting the sun make patterns on my fur.
Cloverpaw padded out of the den, a smug smile on her face.
"What are you doing today, collecting herbs for Dappledusk?" She sneered.
"No," I mewed calmly, "I'm learning the territory with Grayflower."
At that moment my mentor walked over, "Ready to go, Amberpaw?"
"Yes!" I mewed, "I want to see everything!"
Grayflower chuckled, "I bet we will, if we have time left at the end of the day, i can teach you how to catch fish." She mewed.
With that, she began padding out of camp, i followed her, flashing a smile over my shoulder at the gaping Cloverpaw.
She shook her head as her mentor, Troutstep, came over.
The gruff, gray tom towered over her as he explained what they were doing that day.
I padded out through the entrance, careful to keep an eye on Grayflower's gray and black patched tail.
She trotted through the territory, pointing out landmarks like, the lake, the halfbridge, the greenleaf two0leg place and the island where the clans gather on the full moon.
I watched in amazement at all the colors swooping by, trees, rivers, pebbles, shells, reeds, sand, birds.
Finally, Grayflower stopped, it was just after sunhigh when she mewed, "There is a fish-filled river ahead, let's go teach you to fish!"
My eyes filled with glee at the mention of finally catching my own fish!
I had only ever eaten fish caught by others, i wanted to wait to see who would take my fish from the fresh-kill pile, if i caught one.
Grayflower stopped at the riverbank, instructing me where to crouch, and how i must keep my shadow out of the water.
When i saw a flash of scales, i instinctively flashed my paw into the water.
To my surprise, i missed the fish that was right under my claws.
Gray chuckled, then mewed "the water makes the fish look closer than they are, you have the put your paw in deeper to really catch the fish."
I nodded, then focused my gaze back on the water.
As another fish came by, i plunged my paw into the water.
I hit the fish, but my claws didn't catch a grip.
I tumbled head first into the water.
I returned gasping to the surface, Grayflower was chuckling again.
I stared at her for a few heartbeats, then started laughing too.
I clambered onto the bank, the water in my fur making it cling to my sides.
I shook myself, splattering water everywhere.
I returned myself to the bank to find a few more fish swimming by.
I once again plunged my paw in, i got a hold on a fish, and dragged it up to the bank.
It was smaller than the first, but it was big enough for me.
I quit it's flopping by giving a sharp bite to the neck.
I then hoisted it up with the help of Grayflower and started heading back to camp.
As we padded through the entrance, Grayflower mewed "You should go give this to the elders."
I nodded and then took the fish into the elders den.
I set the fish down in front of the two elders, Meadowthorn and Lakestep.
"That's a good fish." Lakestep observed.
"it's my first catch." i mewed.
"That makes it all the better." Meadowthron mewed, after taking a bite.
"Thanks." I mewed, dipping my head.
I turned and left the den, leaving the elders to eat their fish in peace.
As i came out of the elder's den, Cloverpaw was waiting for me.
As i neared her, she mewed "Were you cleaning the elder's den all day."
"No." I mewed. "I gave them my first catch."
Cloverpaw's eyes widened as i walked away, but she didn't have a stinging remark ready to respond.
OK, yay!
