MapleBirch au! (REWRITING)

Chapter 1

A she-cat dropped into a crouch. Her amber eyes gleaming, a few tail length a head of her. A mouse was nibbling on a nut. She crept forward, her paws gliding over the grown. She got close enough to the mouse, that she could pounce. The mouse didn't have time to let out a warning cry, the calico she-cat killed it quickly. A purr sounded off to the side of the calico she-cat. "Well done Maplepaw!" A gray tabby called to his apprentice. The calico she-cat purred, "Thanks Bloomheart!" She smiled.

The gray tabby, Bloomheart, padded over to her. "Let's gather your pray, and meet the others at the training hollow. " he said. His gaze glittered with pride, "I'm so proud of you maplepaw, you are the best apprentice I have had." He said with a purr. His words made the molly blush with admiration.

The two cats gathered the calico mollys pray and headed to the training hollow. She was greated by birchpaw and frecklepaw. Their mentors talked to Bloomheart. While their mentors talked, the three young cats bosted their catches.

The dark brown tabby tom spoke first. "I stocked a bird all the way twoleg place without making a sound!" He bosted. "Rabbitfur was really impressed!" He said his eyes shining. His sister, Frecklepaw glared at her brother. "Anyone can do that" she grumbled.

Birchpaw turned on his sister, "Oh yeah?" He asked. Frecklepaw turned to him. "Yeah!" The two started to argue. Maplepaw giggles, as she watched the two siblings fight. Then she left hollow, she had a sister, but her sister was sickly. She had died a few weeks before the two were made apprentices.

The two siblings noticed the mollys sudden mood change, and turned their attention to her. "Hey maplepaw what's wrong?" Frecklepaw asked softly. Maplepaw only let out a choking cry. Birchpaw saw that's was an answer enough. The dark tabby tom went over to her and sat next to her and rapped his tail around her back. "Shhh, it's okay, Petalkit wouldn't want to see you like this." He said softly.

The calico molly looked at him, her amber eyes filled with tears, she let out a sniffle. "Your right, she would have probably said, 'Quite crying, Maplepaw! Your about to be warrior, so get it together!'" She said micking her sisters voice. Frecklepaw laughed sadly, "Your right!"

Bloomheart padded over to his apprentice. "Let's get going Maplepaw," he whispered to her. The gray tabby tom turned to the two siblings, "your mentors would like to share a few things with your before you head to camp." He said softly. The two cats faces dropped in fear. Bloomheart laughed, "You two aren't in trouble, don't worry" He said smoothly.

Maplepaw looked at her mentor. He turned to her and lead her away. " She would be proud of you. " Bloomheart said. Maplepaw looked at him confused. "Petalkit, I mean," He said. Maplepaw purred sadly, "I know she would" she whispered.

They walked to their pray pile and carried it back to camp. Their walk was quiet but comfortable. Once they reached camp the two headed straight for the fresh-kill pile. They dropped their pray off. "I got to speak to oakstar about your warrior name" he said with a smile. She returned his smile, "Alright !" She said.

Her mentor walked off and in his place came Birchpaw and Frecklepaw. "Hello you two!" She greeted them. "Your mentors on their way to speak to Oakstar?" She asked. "Oh yeah, I'm really excited to become a warrior!" Answered Birchpaw. His sister nodded with excited as well.

The three talked for a while before the siblings father, Oakstar called a clan meeting. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own pray gather here beneath the High Rock" his voice rang out in the clearing.

Cats gathered into clearing. There two apprentices were greeted by their mentors. They smiled padded into the clearing. Bloomhearts eyes beamed with pride, "I'm so proud of you Maplepaw" he whispered. She turned a gaze of pride and appreciation. "I'm glad to have had you as my mentor" she said.
