Skypaw sleepily padded out of the apprentices den after her mentor Foxtail called her for training. "Cmon sleepyhead it's time to go the morning patrol wants to go!" She meowed impatiently. Skypaw looked to see Mousewhisker and Featherpaw already waiting for them to come. "Oh I'm such a mouse brain!" Skypaw meowed angrily and padded toward the other two cats waiting. "About time!" Mousewhisker exclaimed.

The four cats went all throughout the territory marking the border and Skypaw on the way back spotted a squirrel nibbling on a nut in a clearing and she instinctively crouched down low and crept towards it once she was close enough she pounced instantly breaking its neck like an expert.

Looking up she saw Foxtail and Mousewhisker with their jaws dropped while Featherpaw squealed happily. "Great catch! I didn't know Foxtail taught you how to hunt!" She meowed. "Uhhhhhhhhhh sh- she didn't" Skypaw said shyly. "How did you do that?" Foxtail meowed "she didn't teach you?" Mousewhisker interrupted.
"No. Uh why don't we head back to camp?" Skypaw said trying to change the subject. "Sure!" Featherpaw said happily. (As always XD)

---Skypaw---

By the time we got back from the border patrol it was sunhigh, and I was starving! So I padded toward the fresh-kill pile and picked out a fat mouse. Then I padded over to Featherpaw who was already eating a thrush by the oak tree beside the nursery. "Hey" I said but Featherpaw never answered she was busy gawking At Dustpaw who was talking to Mousewhisker his mentor.

Getting impatient I meowed teasily "you liiiike him!" She quickly turned to me and meowed sheepishly "n-no I was looking at the sky" "and the sky is over there?" I asked pointing my tail in Dustpaw's direction. "W-well what about Stormpaw I saw you looking yesterday!" I looked away "no but you still like him" "hmph fine"She meowed in defeat, and finished her thrush I did the same.

Once I finished my mouse I left to go hunting since the fresh kill pile was low only having a couple mice left. I told Featherpaw where I was going and left camp. As I was padding away from camp I noticed movement in the forest and I picked up the scent of another cat. "Who's there?" I meowed worriedly. The bushes moved slightly and a small grey kit padded slightly out of the bush before falling on its side.

I suddenly felt an urge to grab it and bring it to camp but something was weird about it. I padded closer and sniffed again more closely this time and I realized that weird smell was actually the scent of swiftclan! I thought about what I should do for starclan knows how long before I heard a small squeak and the kit lifted its head slightly and softly meowed "food" I immediately grabbed him and padded back to camp.

Once I arrived I was greeted by Featherpaw who meowed " what did yo...is that a kit?!" She said the last part slightly loud and some cats turned their heads. I didn't answer her because I had the kit in my mouth, and I padded over to the medicine cat den to find Petalheart sorting herbs with Waterpaw. "Petalheart?" I asked my voice slightly muffles and she turned her head.

When she saw the unconscious kit she ran over and took it from me. "Waterpaw get me those traveling herbs!" Waterpaw quickly mixed them up and gave them to Petalheart who put some in the kits mouth. "Skypaw get me some food...now!" I ran quickly out of the den and grabbed a warm mouse and I noticed the hunting patrol just got back. 'Thank goodness!' I thought, and I went back to the den.

The kit was sitting up and he kept meowing "food" over and over again. I put the food down beside the kit "you need to chew it up for him he is too weak to chew it himself" Petalheart meowed and I chewed up a small bite and I dropped the stuff in the kits mouth who swallowed hungrily and said "more please" I did this until the mouse was done and the kit now was standing up and he looked into my eyes. "thank you" he said and he padded between my legs "mama" my eyes widened and I looked down at him.

"N-no you h..." I stopped once I seen his eyes which were full of love. After that he curled up into a ball and dozed off. "I guess he was to young to remember his family" Petalheart sighed "so I need you to act as his mother" "what! But I'm just a new apprentice! Surely another cat a bit older should do it." I asked, But to no avail. "No he obviously thinks your his mother,Waterpaw go get Ivystar." Petalheart meowed and Waterpaw left and came back with Ivystar "I heard you brought a kit back" she said "where did you find it?"

"I found it In a bush beside the camp entrance and I couldn't leave him so I brought him here" I said. "Ivystar sighed "what did he smell like?" "h- he smelt l-like swiftclan but I was very faint I'm guessing he got lost or he left a while ago" I said nervously. Ivystar thought for a while I was getting more nervous and then she meowed calmly "we can risk going over there we might as well keep him and since we have no queens and you found him you will act as his 'mother' "

"All Right I'll take him to the apprentices den since I don't want to be alone with a kit right now" I said and I nudged the kit. He opened his blue eyes and looked at me sleepily, so I picked him up by the sruff and brought him to the apprentices den. Once I got there everyone was asleep except for Featherpaw. "So you keeping him?" She asked. I nodded and layed down with the kit curled by my stomach so I curled around him to keep him warm.
