   I headed back to camp not caring about some of the looks I got. 

   I then heard Owlgaze murmur, "Why did she even come back, it's kinda obvious she won't become a warrior anytime soon" I looked at her then went back to heading for the apprentice den. 

   I need to think of a deal to make with those rogues and who needs to be dead. After a while of thinking I finally thought how I would kill each and every one of them. 

   Cottonbelly and Whirlwing could be killed by dogs, I could let the dogs out and lead the dogs towards them. 

   Tortoisedusk I'll just make a deal with the rogues. 

   And since there's a fox den, I could lead Mosstail towards it, shove him into the den and hope that the foxes are down there. After a while of thinking about many other ways to get rid of them I had drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

   "Up" I groaned looking up to see Gingerstar right in front of me. "Up! If you want to be a decent warrior, get up!" She said again more aggressively this time. 

   I got up immediately and followed her outside of camp to where we had trained last time. "To start with I will teach you several battle techniques. Mainly the basics. Know where the wind is coming from. It will help conceal your scent from your target. Use this especially in battles. When we go into battle, I will always use something where I will conceal a lot of my warriors when going into battle. I will pack a lot of warriors together to conceal the patrol, it will make the enemy think I am using a small attack force" She continued to explain more but I didn't really pay much attention thinking about that new shecat who had come. 

   Whitepaw had said her name was Alderpelt. Interesting shecat. 

   "Halfpaw are you listening?" Gingerstar interrupted my thoughts. I nodded. "What did I just say then?" she asked. 

   "I don't know," I mumbled. 

    "That's what I thought. I am going to show you a few hunting spots I used as an apprentice and warrior" I just stared at her. Why was she doing this now? 

   "Are you coming?" She questioned looking behind her, I hurried to follow her.

-

   She led me behind the old twolegs nest. "So I always found this place pretty useful especially when I wanted to hunt alone since for some reason no one seems to come back here. I thought since I am the leader now this could be more useful to you than me. And that mouse you caught was very good, I am sorry I didn't pay much attention to you" she said.

   I looked at her trying to hold in my laughter, she really thinks I am going to forgive her that easily?! Pathetic! 

   "Gingerstar it's ok. Can I ask you a question? It's kinda personal so if you don't want to answer it that's ok" I said in a sweet tone. 

   "Oh sure, what is it?" 

   "H-how many lives do you have?" I asked in a small tone, faking my fear. 

   "Oh. I wasn't expecting that well uh 7. I lost two in battle, both from a fox. Why?"

   "J-just curious. I was kinda nervous you wouldn't answer" 

   "We should head back to the sun's setting, we don't want them to worry" she said, turned around heading back to camp. I looked towards the bushes by the border feeling something was off. 

   "Halfpaw let's go!" Gingerstar yelled. I glared at the bushes and headed back with Gingerstar trailing behind, not in the mood to talk to her. 

   Once we arrived, I walked towards the apprentice and my nose immediately field with the stench of rogue. I hissed, whipping my head in the direction of Redpaw who was lounging around the den.
