Hey everyone thank you thank you thank you for the lovely reviews, I really enjoyed seeing them. So ta da another chapter for you, this one isn't too exciting but once again we all know we need filler chapters as much as we would rather read the action packed stuff.

Anyways I'm gonna start responding to all of your reviews at the end of each following chapter, starting with this one. Hopefully it will get people more involved in reviewing if I respond to your questions and acknowledge your loyalty to the story.

Anyhoo, lets get on with the chapter and leave a lovely review or a question that you would like answered.

Swiftpaw worked his way towards sunningrocks, steering clear of the well worn paths his clanmates regularly took.

The sky above him was darkening, the first streaks of orange and violet appearing around the clouds. The air was cool and the scent of rain travelled on the breeze, making his whiskers twitch uncomfortably.

The juicy scent of rabbit wafted toward him and Swiftpaw's stomach growled loudly as Swiftpaw realized that he hadn't eaten anything yet today.

He willed his stomach to quiet down as he tracked the fresh rabbit scent toward a warren. Just outside of the den, three young rabbits scurried about doing whatever it is that rabbits do.

Before dropping into a hunters crouch he paused for a moment to make sure that he was downwind, remembering his first lesson as an apprentice.

"A mouse will hear you before it smells you so tread with light feet, a rabbit will smell you before it hear you so check the wind"

Slowly he began stalking his way toward the unsuspecting rabbit kits, setting his sights on the plumpest of the three. The rabbit was small but had a large round belly, it's tawny fur was glossy and it's tail fluffy. Flexing his claws and flicking his tail back and forth he quickly glanced around for a heartbeat before launching himself towards the warren.

As his paws left the ground the prey suddenly became aware of the danger and took off. The two smaller rabbits raced around in circles for a few heartbeats before diving into the warren to safety. Swiftpaw kept his jaw's clamped around the plump rabbit's throat as the life slowly ebbed from it's body.

Swiftpaw dropped the limp prey and purred in satisfaction before lifting it in his jaws and continuing on to sunningrocks.

Swiftpaw patiently waiting by the stepping stones, the limp prey at his side. Curiously he dabbed at the clear water flowing slowly past him, sending the fish swimming for the depths.

"Are you begging starclan for a swim?" a voice of silky honey meowed from behind him and Swiftpaw spun around quickly to see Moonpaw standing behind him on the Thunderclan side of the border, her pelt was wet and water droplets fell from her whiskers. Her green eyes were lit up amusedly and a mrrow of amusement escaped her lips as she surprised him.

Swiftpaw stepped forward, brushing muzzles with her, noticing how the feel of her damp fur no longer sent uncomfortable shivers through his pelt.

A deep purr rumbled in Swiftpaw's throat as he spoke "I just had to come and see you, but I can't stay long, my clan will be missing me"

Moonpaw nodded un understanding "I have to tell you something" she looked down at the ground "I'm a medicine cat apprentice now"

Swiftpaw felt his heart jump in his chest "That's great news, now we can see each other at gatherings" he pressed his sleek blue pelt against hers, soaking up the river water from her fur.

Moonpaw nodded slowly "Yes, I thought of that already. My father forced me to take the position, he doesn't want me to learn how to fight anymore" she growled "It's not fair, I want to be a warrior" she hissed.

Swiftpaw frowned "But if you're a warrior then we are enemies, but as a medicine cat you can has friends in every clan"

"But no mate" Moonpaw countered, looking down at the ground she scuffed her paws for a moment "Look I gotta go, I'm supposed to be gathering daisy leaves for Nightswallow" she stepped closer to Swiftpaw pressing her body against his roughly, as if trying to disappear inside him. Swiftpaw dropped his head instinctually and rasped his tongue over her white ears, breathing in her scent.

Moonpaw stepped away from him, stepping backwards and waving to him with her tail before sliding into the river and strongly paddling back to her side of the border. She cast a sad glance back at him waving goodbye before disappearing deeper into her territory.

Swiftpaw frowned and lifted the dead rabbit in his jaws, thoughts swimming through his mind as he trotted back to camp.

Swiftpaw trotted through the main entrance, thought of Moonpaw and her strange behavior distracting him. Suddenly he was facing a pair of blazing green eyes.

Setting down his prey he looked up calmly and meowed "What did I do now Flowerpaw?"

"Flowertail" Flowertail spat viciously "Or did you forget that I was being made a warrior today?" she hissed.

Swiftpaw smiled "Congratulation on being made a warrior, but I don't see why you're so mad at me. I was hunting" he flicked his tail towards the rabbit.

Flowertail huffed loudly before pelting off in the direction of the forest, disspearing into the darkness.

Swiftpaw rolled his eyes "She can be really strange sometimes" he thought to himself as he dropped the plump rabbit on the fresh-kill pile, he belly rumbling loudly reminding him of his hunger. He nosed through the prey pile and deciding to just take the rabbit he caught. He dragged the tawny colored prey to the tree stump beside the apprentice den and began eating.

The sun had completely set and the stars shone brightly in the sky, the moon shone brightly, it was nearly full and able to light up the camp with its silvery glow.

Hazepaw leapt up onto the stump, settling down beside his brother before meowing "Flowertail is pretty upset with you"

Swiftpaw snorted "What do I care?"

Hazepaw rolled his eyes "You know you should probably try to be nicer to her, she is an impressive cat"

"Yeah right, I'll be nicer to her the day she stop yelling at me" Swiftpaw meowed skeptically.

"That will never happen" Hazepaw purred.

"Exactly"
