Ratpaw

[/b]atpaw followed the others out the den. Her fur was prickling a little as she grew more and more excited. She felt like a true Fireclan apprentice now. Especially since she was being trained by a deputy who was a skilled and powerful warrior. Her tail continuously twitched. She pasted by her father who was just entering the camp. She gave a small purr in greeting and he did as well before they brushed past each other. The grass underneath her paws rustled silently has she stepped through them, her small paws allowing her to move along quietly. Ratpaw's gaze wandered as she looked at the trees and brush surrounding them.

The green foliage rustled every time a passing breeze made it's way through the forest. It felt warm today, and the sky had plenty of white fluffy clouds hovering by. Thick trees became visible now, their trunks as wide as a cat and their height as tall as a two-leg. Ratpaw admired this view, wondering if she would be able to climb such a large tree. She had climbed things before, only they weren't that tall. She soon found herself passing by rocks that were placed near a thin stream of water. Large rocks surrounded it, some in the running water. All had a hint of moss on them. Ratpaw was quick to walk up to the side of the stream and take a few brisk licks.

"Well that's good," she commented, licking her wet muzzle.

She returned to walk behind the others, her tail hanging limp behind her as she followed them. Ratpaw raised her head just to take in the scents of the forest. She scented mouse, and something else she couldn't identify. She wasn't use to taking in new smells so she gave a confused look. She then started to wonder what they were going to do first. Ratpaw knew patrols patrolled the borders, but she didn't know what it was like. Would she be able to tell where the border was? She wondered what would happen if she crossed it. She thingyed her head to the side.

"Hey, Snakefoot, Aurajinx, have you ever crossed a border before?" Ratpaw asked curiously. [/size][/blockquote][/ul]

Sankefoot smellled the air no scents seems out of place. He looked at the tall grass and noticed a small rat running but he didn't try to caugh it. Hearing Ratpaws question brought memerioes back to him when they where kits Hotkit dared him to walk in all the clans atleast one. Of couse he agreed He forgot about this tell he was made a warrior. Then he crossed boarders for the meeting during the full moon and trips to talk to starclan both he thoughs where wastes of time Starclan never help them before. He also made a special trip to walk in all the clans territorys just to say that he had done it with out being spotted. He never was knowing when patrols where sent out. " Yes i have but only when i needed to speak to clan leaders" He lied. 'Never have i've been unwelcome" he added on a after thought . We needed to make are scwnt stronger in the boarders I want no questions again wheres they start. He ordered.

aurajinx, jestervoice

Aurajinx loved walking through Pure Creek, the sparkling water surrounded by large boulders but today it was weird, a sadness lingered in the air between her and Jestervoice. Both of them walked silently behind Snakefoot and Ratpaw, she wished that she could hear what he was thinking and she voice her thoughts to him with an actual response. It made depression tinge the outskirts of her mind because they couldn't gossip and ask for eachothers help like normal siblings. She hardly noticed Snakefoot teaching Ratpaw about the borders until the small brown apprentice spoke her name, her mind caught the sentence just before the point where she couldn't. Aurajinx waited for the fluffy silver deputy to finish his answer before giving hers, deciding to be honest today she made it interesting.

"Well, Ratpaw, I have crossed the border without being welcomed. As an apprentice but it was for a territory battle against LightningClan so I don't think that really counts."

Aurajinx looked over at Jestervoice who was smiling at her with memory and amusement, she knew if he could that he would laugh out loud. The silver tabby warrioress looked from Ratpaw to Snakefoot, she had crossed the border more then once, the one appropriate was the battle for territory with LightningClan. A different time was when a much older apprentice thought she wasn't daring enough to hunt a fish in the Dark Waters of FrostClan, which she tried to do. Another time was when Jestervoice had wondered off and Aurajinx had to go and save him, Woodstar, Brokenheart, her deputy at the time, and Leafdapple, the medicine cat of the time, were the only ones who knew about it, and all of them had taken it to the grave.

Ratpaw

[/b]atpaw listened to this, her ears flicking a little as she imagined Snakefoot confronting a patrol and Aurajinx as her younger self fighting. A smile appeared on her muzzle and she picked up her pace, obeying her mentor's wishes of her not asking any more questions. Though, Ratpaw did want to ask if she would ever be in a battle anytime soon. The thought of fighting along side her fellow clan mates made her fur prickle a little. She hoped to turn into a fine warrior one day, with a good reputation within the clan. But it wasn't like she didn't expect not to make any enemies or life afterward to be any easier. Something was bound to happen. And her father always said she attracted trouble. Soon her gaze returned to her mentor, and she thought for a moment. Would she turn into a warrior like Snakefoot?

He was a cat admired by many, even outside her clan cats respected him. Ratpaw also knew he was dangerous, but wasn't that a good trait to find in a future leader? She sighed, her tail falling limp once again. She had so many questions, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. Any cat knew not to annoy Snakefoot.

Yes, of course, no one should tease the all mighty Snakefoot, she thought to herself as she rolled her eyes.

The wind blew gently, rustling the foliage and brush. She sound of rustling could be heard along with the breeze. Ratpaw's ears pricked as she heard something moving around in the grass. It was faint, but her large ears picked up the noise with ease. She froze and turned toward the noise. She then saw a tiny brown muzzle poke out of the patch of grass. It happened to be a mouse, and when it scented them it scampered away. The young apprentice blinked and then continued to follow the warriors, not wanting to keep them waiting. But she did hope a warrior from a hunting party would come by and catch that mouse. It was a little chubby; meaning it was a good meal. [/size][/blockquote][/ul]
