"Come on Brownpaw show me some of your moves" Redpaw cheered delightfully. Another cat came up behind Redpaw and then surprised him as she had pounced on him. The two cats wrestled for a moment and the Redpaw realized it was but his sister Silentpaw. There mother Snowdrop was over by the warriors den watching the apprentices' and Redpaw's Father Lionstar came up to Snowdrop and then the started to share tounges. It was just a normal day in Darkclan. But then it happened they heard the battle cry of Mistclan cats and then it happened. Instantly the camp was filled with cats from Mistclan and there was cats from both clans clashing and redpaw stood there scared. He thought to himself. ' I've only been an apprentice for not even a moon and I can't fight!!' Just then he saw a Powerful looking mistclan warrior spot him and start to charge at him. 'i am dead' he thought and just before the warrior got to him Lionstar leaped out and tackled the cat. As he fought the cat he screamed "Redpaw go with you sister and help tue kits out and stay with them" after that he did so and he meet up Silentpaw who was spread in the nursery and guide the kits out the back way and went to the hollow tree where they trained. Redpaw looked at how the kits looked up to him in this time of need and felt bad he was showing what a coward he was being with fleeing the battle "I am going back" Silentpaw looked at him in puzzlement"seriously you have only been an apprentice for not even a moon and you're going to go and try to be a hero I don't think that is going to happen." "Look you are not mom ok I am going and that is final." He yowled and sped off towards the camp but when he got there it was to late. He arrived to cats guiding the injured to the medicine den and then he saw a group of cat surrounding a body. He got closer and then he stood shocked 'My father he's de-e-ad' his heart collapsed. 'if only I had stayed that could be me instead of him he didn't deserve this' he watched as one of the senior warriors came up to his mother and whisper something. Then she turned around and Redpaw saw the gash on the side of her lightly wrapped in cobweb. Just then Silentpaw appeared in the camp entrance and saw their mother hurt and rushed over to help. Redpaw just stood there in shock. Late that night he was told that he was going sit vagil for his father. He was about to head out for guard when his sister came up to him cry. Then redpaws eyes widened at what Silentpaw told him. "mother just died" she cried just then that sentence rung in redpaws head ' Mother is dead we have no parents now. Mother and father are dead.'
