• Chapter 2

    Icepaw was standing there unable to move when the large tom came near her.
    “what are you doing on ShadowClan territory!” demeaned the tabby cat. Icepaw was standing there scared when she saw three other warriors come to stand around Icepaw.
    “Russetfur tell your warriors to back off.” Foxtail said to the ginger she cat.
    “tell my warriors! Your apprentice shouldn’t be over hear in the first place.” resorted Russetfur.
    “I-i was tr-trying to get a m-mouse but I mi-missed and I r-rolled into h-hear.” stammered Icepaw. The tom cat that was standing over her gave a little humph.
    “she tell the truth you big Meany.” Shadowpaw growled.
    “hush Shadowpaw let Foxtail deal with them.” Squirrelflight told her. Shadowpaw looked at her mentor but said nothing else. Icepaw was grateful that her sister stood up to her but her sister can’t help her now. She looked at the four cats around her. There was a silver she cat with beautiful green eyes, the big tabby tom with amber eyes, Russetfur and a ginger tom with yellow eyes. She also looked at where each of the cats were. The tabby cat was in front of her the silver cat was on her left Russetfur on her right and the other tom in back of her. She needed to get back over to the other side so she jumped at the tabby.
    The attack took the tom by surprise and he back up but then he scratched Icepaw on her right shoulder. She ran to his left side and when he tried to swipe at her she ran under his stomach he fell. Icepaw then ran to Foxtail.
    “Icepaw you need to be more careful where you hunt at all times.” Foxtail scolded her.
    “I’m sorry Foxtail I won’t happen again.” Icepaw told him.
    “it better not happen again and if I does we will take her as prisoner.” Russetfur told all of them but was just glaring at Icepaw. Icepaw glared back at her.
    “it won’t happen again Russetfur I will make sure of it.” Foxtail told her. She stopped glaring at Icepaw and ordered her warriors to fallow her back. Once they were out of site Foxtail ordered Squirrelflight and Shadowpaw to go back to camp.
    “Icepaw I know that this is your first day as an apprentice but you must learn to be careful.” he scolded then sighed, “I some how knew that something would happen today.” Icepaw looked down at her paws and didn’t know that her mentor was walking until she looked up.
    “are you coming or not?” he asked. She limped towards him since her shoulder hurts. “sit down I need to get something so stay put.” he said and padded away. Icepaw looked around and spotted a mouse. She decided that she should try to catch it to make up for the mouse she lost. She went into the crouch that Foxtail showed her she leaped and killed it with a single swipe.
    “nice catch.” said a voice. Icepaw looked around and saw a flash of fur come at her. She saw it stand next to her. She looked at it and noticed that it was her brother Ticklepaw. He was older then she was by one and a half moon. Icepaw put the mouse down.
    “thanks.” she said. She saw that his green eyes were staring at her. “what?” Icepaw asked nervously.
    “how did you get that cut on your shoulder?” he asked. Icepaw looked at her shoulder then back at he brother.
    “I crossed the ShadowClan border and got hurt.” she said.
    “well lucky for you I have some herbs I was getting for Jayfeather.” Ticklepaw said and got some mirror gold and put it on the cut. He then found some cobwebs and put those on too. Ticklepaw is a white tabby tom with black patches all over him and the tip of his tail his four paws and some of his face is yellow.
    “thanks Ticklepaw.” Icepaw meowed.
    “it is nothing you are my little sister I’m suppose to watch out for you and Shadowpaw.” Ticklepaw told her.
    “if you told that to Shadowpaw she would have clawed your eyes out.” Icepaw told him. Ticklepaw let out a marrow of laughter.
    “you are right there. Well I should be going now see you around.” Ticklepaw said and disappeared into the bushes. Icepaw picked up the mouse and sat down where Foxtail left her. She then saw him coming with a starling, vole and a black bird in his jaws. He saw the mouse in her jaw and nodded with approval. He turned around and flicked his tail so that she would fallow. They padded back to camp and dropped their prey in to the fresh kill pile. She heard a cat walking towards her so she turned around. She noticed it was Wolfpaw!
    “I want to talk to you.” Wolfpaw said.
