Danger Force in Shadowclan

4

Owlswoop gathered around Barknut who was announcing patrols. "Bordering the Riverclan is Ray and Wrenpool, being lead by Frostwhisker!" Then the Thunderclan border patrol will be lead by Sunflowertooth. Take Owlswoop, Widowweb, and Littlepaw!"

"Hunting patrols one will be lead by Dustycloud and the other by me! I will take Quailfeather, Minktoes, and Harepaw! Dustycloud will take Doestep, Runningthorn, and Waspflight!"

"Owlswoop!" The she-cat got to her paws, going over to Sunflowertooth, "great Starclan I thought we would sit around all sunhigh waiting for you!"

"Sorry, I was daydreaming."

"Let's just go!" Widowweb huffed, his tail lashing. The tom grumbled something else before pushing through the thorn barrier. Owlswoop rolled her eyes, letting Sunflowertooth and Littlepaw go in front of her before following them.

"I wonder if a Thunderclan mouse-brain will challenge us!" Littlepaw exclaimed, placing herself on a root to make herself look bigger.

"I hope not," Sunflowertooth snorted, "leafbare isn't far off and we don't need to be making enemies!" Owlswoop nodded, parting her jaws, scenting the nearing border.

"It smells stronger," Widowweb snorted.

"They recently marked in maybe," Sunflowetooth replied. Owlswoop flicks her ears, she noticed a strange cat who was dashing after a squirrel.

"Rainpaw lookout you crossed the scent line!" A black tom croaked, "get over here and forget the squirrel."

"Oops!" The she-cat squeaked.

"What's wrong Owlswoop?" Sunflowertooth asked.

"A Thunderclan apprentice accidentally crossed the scent line," she replied, watching as the apprentice left the territory.

"Thunderclan should train their apprentices better!" Widowweb hissed, "I bet she scared the entire forest of prey away!" His white tail lashed.

"Its clanmate corrected it, I say we just move on," Owlswoop mewed.

"Very well, but we should confront so they don't do it again," Widowweb hissed. Before any cat could anything, he emerged from the undergrowth. "Doesn't Thunderclan teach their apprentices where the border is?"

"Widowweb!" Owlswoop went to stand beside him, "we don't want a fight, remember?"

"We saw what happen, just be more careful," Sunflowertooth sighed.

"I know, and we apologize, Rainpaw is still quite young," a tom named Swiftfoot dipped his head, "see you at the gathering maybe." He gathered his patrol, and they followed them into their territory.

"Let's go," Sunflowertooth told his patrol.

"What are you," Widowweb demanded, "you don't have to be so soft to them, they're Thunderclan!"

"I just didn't want confrontation or any enemies made!" Owlswoop snapped. Widowweb glared, before shoving past.

The patrol made it back to camp and reported to Barknut. Owlswoop gazed around camp, Rosesun and Sagecreek were sunning themselves while gossiping. She felt a cat knock into her.

"Hi, Owlswoop!" She looked up to see Berrypool, "sorry!" He laughed. Owlswoop snorted with amusement.

"What are you doing Berrypool?" She asked, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I was looking for you, and thought I'd surprise you." Berrypool let Owlswoop up, "I thought maybe you wanted to go by the lake."

"Sure!" She got to her paws, smoothing her pelt, "I'd like that." The trek through the conifer forest was peaceful, and quiet apart from the occasional prey noises and shared whispers.
