CHAPTER ONE +_+[]
Good morning my love! Apple paw opened her eyes to see a smiling tom looking over her, Morning Birch Glance! Apple paw meowed cheerfully to the tom as she sat up. I can't wait till you're a warrior, Birch glance said smiling as Apple paw was grooming herself. then we can be mates and have kits and... Oh yeah... um I almost forgot I got you something...he stepped out of the den and came back in with a plump squirrel. Mm thanks Birch glance, It looks amazing! Your welcome I caught it just for you! He smiled looking proud of himself. Apple paw stood up grabbing her squirrel and followed her soon to be mate out of the den. she and Birch glance sat and shared the squirrel. Apple paw come over here! Her mentor Willow legs was calling her name. I'm sorry Birch glance, I need to go. Okay see you later! he meowed, turning towards his litter mates ( Leopard branch and Tumbling dream.) Yes Willow legs? Rush star said it was time for you and your sisters assessment. REALLY?! Yes of course you and your sisters have trained hard and deserve it, come. she led Apple paw out of the camp and as she was following she smelled the scent of her sisters and a young tom named Weasel paw who has one sister (Green paw) but she broke her paw and miss some training so she would be getting her warrior name in a moon or so. Her sisters the young Tom and her their mentors were all by a large tree called the big root. Great they have arrived! smiled Fern coil the senor warrior and mentor to Clover paw. We all agreed that since there are four of you you will be hunting in pairs. spoke a she-cat named Sage stem mentor of Fawn paw. we pre picked your pairs so there would be no fighting. said a deep voice of a tom called Withered spark spoke he is the mentor to Weasel paw. Fawn paw will hunt with Clover paw and Apple paw will hunt with Weasel paw. Apple paws mentor Willow legs had spoken. Okay off you go. said Fern coil. Fawn paw, Clover paw you are to hunt by the herb patch. Said Sage stem. Weasel paw , Apple paw you go over by the bright bay and hunt . Said Withered spark. She looked at Weasel paw the quiet brown tom reminded her of her brother Owl kit but Weasel paw was not a kit he was the size of a warrior already. Owl kit had died when a badger attacked the nursery he was only 1 moon. She remembers that horrible moment her eyes had just opened before the incident but owl kit’s hadn’t. As she walked Apple paw watched Weasel paw the young tom was looking at the sky he was very alert as they were walking towards the bay. The more she observed the young tom the more she now wanted to become a warrior with Fawn paw, Clover paw and Weasel paw more than ever but she really wanted to forget that Birch gaze even existed. Weasel paw looked to her and said his deep voice in a whisper “shh I smell something!”

All four of you will have your naming ceremonies at dusk. Said Withered spark. Until then get some rest you will have your warrior vigil, after you get your names. Spoke Willow legs. Apple paw and Weasel paw looked Each other in the eyes smiling as they walked to the den he seemed proud of their hunt at least he was warming up to her. Bat paw and Clover paw were whispering things in each other's ears. Fawn paw was staring at a red colored she-cat called Red branch who showed a great affection towards Fawn paw. As Apple paw sat down in her nest across the den from Weasel paw she knew he was looking at her then she looked back at him with a soft smile he quickly looked away. Apple paw then stood up walking across the den to the young brown tom, she sat down in front of him and whispered quietly in his ear: "Do you have something you want to say to me?" Weasel paw shook his head yes "okay, meet me tonight by the bay." “B-but what about our vigil” “Fawn paw and Clover paw can’t handle it” Apple paw stood up smiling they would be warriors by then just in time to become mates She walked out of the den now to break it to Birch glance. Apple paw walked straight to the part of the clearing that Birch glance was laying in on his back sun tanning well talking to a young she cat who was called Bright lily. Hey Birch glance can we go for a walk? Apple paw said. He nodded saying goodbye to Bright lily. Okay? what did you need to say Apple paw? he had asked when they had left camp. I'm sorry Birch glance I don't know if we can be mates... Apple why would you say that? Well...well...UM.... Apple paw hesitated. Apple… I actually have a confession to make first... I don't really like you anymore and I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings but I think I have fallen in love with Bright lily And... I hope we can still be friends... YES Birch of course. “I was actually going to say something similar I have fallen in love with Weasel paw and I think he likes me back .... I'm so glad we can still be friends I hope you and Bright lily are very happy together.” “Now lets get back to camp I don’t want to miss my warrior ceremony!”
