"No! Don't tackle me!" Berrypaw purrs as Bluekit and Karmakit jump on her.

"Hehe! You will be defeated!" Bluekit mews.

"Bluekit! Be gentle!" Cloverfur scolds her kit.

"Don't worry Cloverfur, she's not doing any harm." Berrypaw purrs.

"Berrypaw! You are going on patrol with Cherrycloud, Scorchflower and Fireblaze." Stickfur yowls. Berrypaw says bye to the kits and joins Fireblaze and Cherrycloud at the entrance of the camp.

"Where's Scorchflower?" She asks the two warriors. Fireblaze shrugs. Scorchflower then runs into camp from the dirt place.

"Sorry I was late!" She pants.

"Alright, since we're all here now, let's head out." Cherrycloud meows and the four cats pad out of camp and into the ravine. Berrypaw follows her clanmates up the ravine and towards Shadowclan territory. She sniffs the air and smells an unusual scent. 'I wonder what scent that is?' She thinks.

"Why do I smell kittypets?" Fireblaze growls.

"It's that same scent I've been smelling when I've been taking Berrypaw out for training. It's obviously just one kittypet." Cherrycloud meows. 'Oh yeah! I remember this smell!' Scorchflower just continues to pad along as if she can't smell anything. 'Something's been up with her lately.' Berrypaw gives her a suspicious look as she pads along with her clanmates. Suddenly Berrypaw smells another scent and looks ahead, seeing a dead squirrel. She runs up to it and sniffs it, smelling the fresh scent of Shadowclan on it.

"Shadowclan killed this! They've been stealing our prey!" She yowls to her clanmates. Cherrycloud sniffs the squirrel and her eyes widen.

"She's right! Berrypaw, run back and tell Fernstar about this!" She hisses. Berrypaw sprints as fast as she can towards camp. She half runs, half stumbles down the ravine and pelts into camp.

"Fernstar! Fernstar!" She yowls for the leader.

"What is it Berrypaw?!" Fernstar asks in alarm as she and the rest of the camp exists their dens to see what's going on.

"Shadowclan's been stealing our prey!" Berrypaw announces.

"Where were you guys?" Fernstar asks the apprentice. Berrypaw twitches her tail for the leader to follow her. They both bolt out of camp and run to where Berrypaw left her Patrol.

"Fernstar! There's a dead squirrel with Shadowclan scent on it!" Scorchflower hisses. Fernstar sniffs the squirrel.

"I'm going to double the patrols from now on. Have you guys checked Riverclan's border yet?" The Patrol shakes their heads. "Well, when you guys get back, I'll call a clan meeting." Fernstar hisses and sprints back to camp.

*Time Skip*

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath Highrock for a clan meeting!" Fernstar's yowl rings through the clearing. Berrypaw pads out into the clearing with Snowpaw from the apprentice's den.

"Fireblaze's Patrol has found a dead squirrel with Shadowclan's scent lingering around it. I will mention something about it at the gathering in a quarter moon, but for now, I am doubling up patrols until we're sure they're not doing it anymore." Fernstar announces. The clearing is then filled with growls and hisses.

"How dare they steal our prey!" Bellywhisker hisses. Murmurs of agreement rise on the air. Fernstar raises her tail to silence the clan.

"I'll shred the cat who stole it to pieces!" Pebblefoot growls.

"Yeah! Especially since Leafbare is close!" Fluffypaw hisses. Maplepaw nudges him with his shoulder.

"Enough! There will be no shredding. This is not the first time, and it won't be the last. This will just be a warning, if it happens again, then I'll confront Snakestar about it. Clan dismissed!" Fernstar announces and jumps down from Highrock and enters her den. Stormkit passes Berrypaw with a bunch of herbs in her mouth.

"Do you need help?" Berrypaw asks her. Stormkit shakes her head.

"I got it." Her meow was muffled by all the herbs in her mouth and she takes it to Pinepool's den. 'There's the next medicine apprentice.' Berrypaw smiles. She then jumps in surprise by something jumping on her. She quickly turns around seeing Snowpaw on the ground.

"Snowpaw!" Berrypaw purrs.

"Hey you two! Come on over and share some prey with me!" Russetear calls for his kits. Snowpaw and Berrypaw pad over to him and he hands them each a mouse.

"How is your guys training going?" He asks.

"Good. I'm still working on a fighting technique though. I can't ever get it right!" Snowpaw complains.

"Which one is that?" Russetear asks him.

"The Dizzy Dance." Snowpaw replies.

"That one's easy! I can help you with that!" Berrypaw meows and takes another bite out of her mouse.

"Anyways, I have to talk to you guys about something. Have you noticed that Scorchflower has been going to the dirt place a lot?" Russetear asks. Berrypaw and Snowpaw nod.

"Yeah it's weird. She also sneaks out of camp sometimes at night." Berrypaw replies.

"I'll talk to her about it sometime. You guys should get some sleep." Russetear nods. The two apprentices nod and pad into their den. Maplepaw lifts his head up.

"Hey, you guys are early." He yawns.

"Why are you in here then?" Snowpaw asks him.

"We have our assessment tomorrow at Sunhigh." Fluffypaw mutters. Berrypaw nods and curls in her nest. Another tail wraps around her again. This time she picks her head up, seeing Maplepaw having his tail around her. 'Foxpaw was right. He does have a crush on me.'
