Quietly, she slipped alway from the apprentice den. Slipping through the den, Dapplepaw was going on an adventure. it was dark out, darker than usual but the dark didn't scare the young she-cat. As she slipped away, she stood about two to three fox lengths away from the den before she stretched out her muscles. Dapplepaw was going to the Rabbit hill. Twitching her pink nose, her silver whiskers twitched as her stomach growled. "I'll get something on the way." She whispered quietly to herself before lashing out her tail and leaping away. Trotting, she followed the scent of the patrols that went here the day before, witched she knew from the other apprentices in the

clan. Unfortunately Dapplepaw was mentor-less and had no one to teach her- which was okay because she was debating between medicine cat and warrior. "I want to be a queen. I want kits, but... helping others is also what i want" Thought Dapplepaw, her thick and long silver fur fluttered in the wind as it rushed through her fur. Panting, the she-cat didn't realize how far away the rabbit hill was but to her it was okay. a walk wasn't bad and to her her energy out was a good thing. It was gave her a time to think and relax away from the clan. besides, nothing bad could happen. It wasn't like she would meet a rival clan cat on her territory. Yawning, Dapplepaw saw the hills that her

destination was all about. Smiling, she knew she made it with aching muscles. I bet the others could make this walk with no problems and i can't Annoyance with herself and her clan flickered in her silver eyes and she wanted to learn so badly. She was six moons old- she should be out with the others not sitting at home bored to death. Feeling her stomach grumble, she came upon one of the hills. Lowering down, in a hunting crouch, she did what came naturally and what she saw the others do. Flicking her tail, she walked through the tall grass. breathing in and out to smell rabbit but nothing came to her. irritated and highly tired the Ashclan cat sat down in the grass. Looking

around, it was still dark and she could get home before the dawn patrols-hopefully. Yawning, once more Dapplepaw didn't realize how tired she was and maybe this was a bad idea coming.

[atrb=width,300,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][bg=291d0f] Where was he? The ebony tom looked around as he walked, his ears rotating and his golden eyes scanning the area for any hint of his location, but he came up with nothing. It was well known among his Clan that he was horrible when it came to directions, because he had never bothered to learn the Territory or its boundaries. The hasty gargantuan tom cared little for where he was going, so long as he had someone to fight. He growled with frustration – he wanted to get back to camp and check on Horizon, he didn’t have time for this! Suddenly the scent of another cat filled his dark nose; another Clan cat, but it scented young, and he doubted that the cat would know the way around. Even so, he barged through the bushes and stared at the cat – which was tiny by comparison – for a few heartbeats in thought. It was an Apprentice, no Warriors were around that he could tell, and there was a Volcano nearby. This must be Rabbit Hill, which meant he was technically on AshClan grounds, right? What did he care? He just wanted to get home. “Hey, runt,” Raggedclaws muttered rudely, pushing over toward the small cat. It was definitely an Apprentice. “My name’s Raggedclaws, strongest Warrior in AspenClan. Mind tellin’ me where AspenClan Territory is?” His nose twitched and he looked around. Rabbits seemed to hide as he stood there – well, what could miss the beast? His golden eyes seemed to pierce the Apprentice like cold, sun-cursed daggers. He was bored, irritated and not impressed at all... Doing (Absolutely nothing. -is glared at by Raggedclaws-) Speaking (Speaking? More like threatening... -is backed into a corner-) Thinking (Well technically I don't need this because Raggedclaws DOESN'T THINK -is clawed-) "Your cat talking" (Your cat's still alive? HOW DOES THAT WORK!? RAGGEDCLAWS, GET HIM/HER/IT!)

a cold wind rushed through the hills, and the small creature clung to the ground. staying low, with her ears flat against her head, her fur ruffled up and a small hiss came from her mouth. before she knew it, the bushes next to her started to Russel and coming from it was a black male cat. hissing, the she-cat jumped up, her small body was tiny compared to his. growling, her fur bristled. she wasn't too sure if was a cat from her clan or a cat from another clan. hissing, the tiny cat sprung at the black fuzz ball and unsheathed her claws. leaping towards his face, he slashed at his nose. falling down, on the ground with a thud dapplepaw gave another his and quickly ran behind a rock.

her body was shaking as she waited for the cat to counter attack. GET OFF ASHCLAN LAND! she yelled behind the border. she tired to hard to stay true to the warrior code, but she was so small and didn't have no training. Oh Starclan, save me! dapplepaw thought to herself worried that she wouldn't see her friends in the morning. not hearing a word that the male had said, she sat behind the rock hiding from the beast that was on her land.

[atrb=width,300,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][bg=291d0f] Whipping his paw up, he easily blocked the attack from the Apprentice and pushed her away from his face and back to the ground. Was she insane? Well, he thought that about every cat, so he couldn’t exactly think that. The ebony tom stared at the cowering Apprentice like she were a bug in the way and released a sigh that started as a sigh and ended with a groan. What was this? He had found a weak Apprentice who was trembling just because he was standing there? AshClan had fallen on hard times if this was what they had... “I would if you’d show me the way back to AspenClan Territory, runt!” He shouted back, claws vexing the earth below his paws. Was the she-cat deaf now too? A sudden gust of wind blew Raggedclaws's fur and revealed some of the massive scars along his body; they were everywhere: up his legs, on his sides, over his shoulders, throat and even his jaws. There were even a few badly healed bite wounds there, hidden under all of his thick black fur. The massive scar that parted the entire left side of his face seemed to bore down at Dapplepaw. At least he’d have something to joke about with Lightningfoot later. Right now he had other things to do - none of which included standing around waiting for some overgrown kit to get up and show him back to the border. Agitation made his tail tip flick and he growled, thumping his thick branch-like tail against the ground. Come on, come on! What was with Apprentices these days? Seapaw was bad enough! “Show me back to AspenClan and keep your claws to yourself. Do you really think you can take on a seasoned Warrior like me?” He growled, looming over the Apprentice behind the rock. It wouldn’t protect her from Raggedclaws. The tom reached forward with one paw and unearthed it with one flick of his thick paw, sending it crashing into a tree. “You’re small; an Apprentice, right? You shouldn’t be out without a Warrior.” Doing (Absolutely nothing. -is glared at by Raggedclaws-) Speaking (Speaking? More like threatening... -is backed into a corner-) Thinking (Well technically I don't need this because Raggedclaws DOESN'T THINK -is clawed-) "Your cat talking" (Your cat's still alive? HOW DOES THAT WORK!? RAGGEDCLAWS, GET HIM/HER/IT!)

peering out from the rock, dapplepaw's fear went away and got shot up with adrenaline. staring up at him, his scars showed in her face and a amusement look covered her maw. flicking her tail, her words got caught in her throat. her belly rumbled as she was nervous about the black tom. Getting up from the rock, she looked around over the hills and around her territory. What are you doing on OUR land anyways? Dapplepaw muttered to herself, low enough to the point where she hoped only she could hear. Then the tom got closer and flicked her shelter away from her. the silver tabby glared up at the aspenclan tom, with clenched teeth and a hatred in her eyes. You

should know where your land is! She hissed, and looked around dazed and confused herself. Pondering on where to point him, she honestly had no clue. Ooh, starlan help me! she thought to herself, as Dapplepaw stood up and her fear went away. he wasnt going to hurt her. or so she hoped but fear still shined in her eyes. her ears twitched to what he said about being out alone. But, i don't have a mentor. i don't know where i really am, how to get home-barely and where Aspenclan is. She said, in a light whispered. Dapplepaw's fur swayed as leafbares wind moved her fur. wanting to be back home, she stared up at the warrior with huge eyes. Can you take me home? Dapplepaw said with sleepy eyes.

For a heartbeat, Raggedclaws wondered if the Apprentice was drunk on Catnip; who was she to talk to him like that? He could tear her head off at any time and be done with it! His ears flattened against his head and he groaned. Just more territorial problems with cats who would be no match for him... Why was he eternally doomed to encounter cats which would die just by being slammed into a tree, or a fence, in Cody’s case? He wasn’t surprised to hear that she was also lost. Even so, it was one of the Warrior Code rules – which he cared little for, unless it was a kit out of camp – which said something like Apprentices couldn’t go out without a Warrior. He didn’t really care either way.
