" I Darkstar give this apprentice, Scarletpaw, to Roseleaf. Pass down your courage and knowledge to her." Darkstar said. I was beaming with pride. My first apprentice! I touched noses with her. Darkstar dismissed the meeting with a fick of his tail. Scarletpaw looked at me with beaming eyes. "Im so happy your my mentor!" She squealed. "Come on, lets see the territory." I said walking out of the camp. She followed next to me. "Do we usally have trobles with other clans?" She asked curiously. "Yes, Iceclan enjoys creating drama. Emberclan stays out of the way usally. But then there is Ivyclan, they just love creating some type of war." I said stopping sniffing the air. The fur on my back started to rise. I turned to Scarletpaw, she was looking at me curiously. "Do you know any battle moves?" I asked testing her knowledge. She nodded. "I know the slash and roll. But thats it." She said starring at me" If someone gets to close with their claws, duck and slash out. And trip them if you can." I said starrig out into the forest. There was a russtle in the bushes.

I turned to Scarletpaw. "Go! Run to camp and tell Darkstar to send more warriors!" I screeched at her. She looked at me with terrified eyes then turned an ran for camp. Just then and cat hit me. Claws hit my muzzle. I turned around hissed. It was Blackpaw!

 I lashed at him with my claws. I hit is muzzle. He hissed and jumped at me. I ducked and nipped his hind leg. He screeched and turned around. More cats streamed out of the bushes. Stupid Iceclan! Where was Scarletpaw with the warriors. Blackpaw threw me to the ground and pinned me. He sank his claws into my arms. I hissed. " I can't believe you want to fight me again!" I spat at him. "I would always fight you! Your going to pay!" He hissed andslashed my flank with his claws. I shrieked. Pain, so much pain. I slashed his muzzle. He shrieked. He kept me pinned down. His eyes blazed with hatred and curiosuty. He went to hit my flank again when something ran into his side. He hit the ground with a hard thump. I looked over and saw Darkstar lashing at with outstrecheted claws. I stumbled to my paws and joined Dakrstar. I hit Blackpaw in his side leaving a deep wound. He lashed out at me and hit my muzzle. Darkstar hissed at him and slashes his claws across Blackpaws head. He shrieked and turned around fleeing. I looked at Darkstar panting. His eyes were full of passion. All of a sudden memory flashed through me. "Where's Scarletpaw?" I asked looking around at the fighting cats. 'Shes in camp. I told her to stay there." He said running into the midst of the battle again. A small tabby tom nipped the back of my leg. I turned around and scarped my claws across his side. He shrieked and slashes my throat. I coughed, trying to gather my breath. I lashed at him again, driving him backt o his territory. He turned and fleed. I looked across and saw the limp body of Pollenfall on the ground.
