Grapepaw

"Grapepaw. Come on we are going on a border patrol." Sageclaw's voice is sharp but kind. I am so excited. This will be my first time training with Sageclaw. However, there is something odd about him. He keeps on complementing me saying how much I look like my old mentor. Quartzflower.
"C'mon Grape, we don't want Solarclan to cross the border do we?" He laughs padding towards me.
"Uh Sageclaw. Why do you say that I look alot like Quartzflower?" I question, coking my head to the side. He freezes, staring at me.
"You're my daughter. Quartzflower was my mate." He whispers making sure no cat here's. He licks me on the ear and bounds off. I pad slower, hoping my shock isn't showing.

I sniff the air. Something smells odd. It smells as if Solarclan has crossed the border! Mrrow! I leap forwards closer to the border than ever hissing and spitting.
"What in the name of starclan are you doing on our border?!" I spit while unshething my claws.
"We're hunting for our clan" Snowwhisker laughs allowing her claws to shoot out. I arch my back my fur making me 2x the size that I actually am. I lunge out towards her biting and clawing at her. Suddenly, she kicks me into the air, however I manage to land on her back. I claw at it, while blood oozes out. I slice my claws across here face leaving her mewling like a kit into her border. Soon after the others left.
"And stay on your side!" I spit in triumph. I mark the borders with the rest of them and we start to head back.

I puff out my chest and I let out a long purr. Finally a battle that I could actually fight in.
"You're gonna need some work on those fighting techniques." Sageclaw's gruff meow jokes.
