Cloverpaw woke up, her head rearing from her… Message? Or was it just a silly dream. Cloverpaw had never met Yellowtail, but… hmm. Cloverpaw decided that on the halfmoon she would sneak out of camp and if there was another cat, she would take them to the gathering place. Cloverpaw eagerly bounced up to Flameblaze and asked "Can I go on a patrol? Moonfur wandered behind her and agreed. "We can go on a border patrol to teach you where the borders are!" Cloverpaw ran out of the camp, excited to learn the borders. Moonfur and Cloverpaw strolled to a stream, and Moonfur mewed "This stream is the border between ShadowClan and RiverClan." Cloverpaw noticed a fish in the stream, and asked Moonfur "Can I try to catch one?" Moonfur hesitated and mewed "Fish are hard to catch, why not try for a mouse" Cloverpaw was a little hurt, but quickly spotted a mouse, and asked to catch it. "Sure!" mewed Moonfur. Moonfur showed Cloverpaw to crouch while stalking the mouse. Moonfur whispered into Cloverpaw's ear "Ok, so now your close enough, and when you are ready, you can pounce." Cloverpaw felt the soft breeze blowing on her pelt, and POUNCE! Cloverpaw landed on the mouse and killed it. Moonfur seemed impressed by Cloverpaw's catch. "Good Job" Meowed Moonfur "You'll be a great hunter one day." Cloverpaw proudly walked back to camp with her prey. Cloverpaw ran to the nursery to feed the queens. "Hi Cloverpaw! How was your patrol?" Questioned Willowkit "It was fun, Willowkit!" Willowkit glanced at the prey and mewed "Is that for me?" Cloverpaw was a little flustered, and hesitantly agreed, before slipping out to the Fresh-kill pile to give the queens their own prey. Soapear and Mudtail were thankful for their prey, and as she wandered over to Sorrelear- "Dear Starclan!" exclaimed Cloverpaw "You- You had your kits!" Sorrelear chuckled and mewed "Yes, five of them. They are called Sandkit," Sorrelear pushed forward a pale sandy colour, followed by an orange kit with pink spots "Pinkkit," Sorrelear pushed forward a red kit "Scarlettkit" Sorrelear nudged a blue kit with purple eyes "Lilackit, and Lastly," Sorrelear mewed while nudging a pale blue kit "Icekit, Named after his father" As Sorrelear meowed that, Iceheart walked into the nursery and beamed proudly after hearing what Sorrelear said. Cloverpaw glanced over at Willowkit, who had destroyed a mossball. "Well done, Willowkit. You destroyed the evil mossball!"
Two whole weeks had passed since Cloverpaw last left the confines of the camp. She was so bored, but then she remembered. 'It's almost the half-moon, then I'll be allowed to leave. Surely Greystar would let me? Not even leaders can ignore a prophecy.' Ignoring her doubts, Cloverpaw walked up to Flameblaze, even though she knew Moonfur was on a patrol already, but it was worth a shot "Hmm, Daisyflower left a while ago, can you find her please?" Cloverpaw was ready to leave, and she quickly caught on to Daisyflower's scent and it ran to a gorge. 'This must be the WindClan border' To Cloverpaw's dismay, Daisyflower's scent kept going across the border, into WindClan territory. Cloverpaw knew that if she failed the jump, she would fall into the crevice. Cloverpaw, using all her strength, leapt over the border, continuing into WindClan territory. Cloverpaw ran through the open fields, trying to avoid WindClan patrols, when she spotted a valley in the mountainous terrain, and at the bottom lied Daisyflower. Cloverpaw walked into the valley, and it was clear Daisyflower was dead. Blood pooled in the lowest point of the valley What Cloverpaw found strange was that there was a tunnel in the side of one of the cliffs. Cloverpaw decided to try and drag Daisyflower home, but she couldn't pull Daisyflower up the slope. Cloverpaw gave up and began to climb the slope to get a patrol. As Cloverpaw was climbing, she heard a young male voice. "What are you doing in my territory?
