Several moons have past and Leafbare has come and food is rare. I have been to two gatherings and it has been the same thing both times; lying to seem less weak and someone became an apprentice. I don't know what changed but everything seems to be less exciting as what I once thought. Brightfoots kits are now apprentices and have been fun to have in the den.                     
"Hey Darkpaw!" Sparkpaw is shouting to me from the other side of the camp. She hasn't changed, still as annoying as always. Hesitantly I walk over to her.                                                   
"what do you want" I say bothered. Sparkpaw picked up a fat squirrel proudly.  Rolling my eyes I pick an even bigger squirrel from the fresh kill pile and walk over to the elders den, they usually like eating with apprentices.
Bronzepaw, Silverpaw and Scarpaw  went on a border patrol and Camopaw is out hunting. Shallowleap got injured on a border patrol so I am stuck in camp. I make it to the enterence of the elders den, Mistyheart nods her head to let me come in. I walk over to her and sit down. Mistyheart is a very sweet and gentle elder who is as good as listening to me as she is at telling stories. We share tounges almost everyday and she seems to enjoy my company. But everyday she seems to be getting weaker and I fear I may lose her soon. She has been my most reliable friend.
"So how are you today" The fragil elder said.
"It's been hard today, you know as always" I say in a small laugh, I look at her but she is very serious.
"Are they still being mean to you?" she said as she struggled to stand.
"Wait! don't get up! Your getting worse!" I yell and help her back down. She just looked sad and appoligised. She told me to leave after that so I walked outside. I saw Rosetail carring a lot wet moss. She looked like she was going to drop it all so I walk over to her and grab some off her. She nodded her head in thanks as I followed her to the medicine cats den. We drop the moss in the corner of the den.
"Thanks" Rosetail said as she walked out. I turned to walk out to when I her Shallowleaps voice and turn to see her lying in a nest in the back. I wander over to her to see how she was doing. She looked up at me and smile.
"We'll get to do so battle moves tommorow, so get up early" she said. I nodded and smiled back then walked out. I was greeted by Silverpaw and Bronzepaws' excited mews as they held to peices of prey in their mouths I could hear their mentors calling to them to put the prey on the fresh kill pile. This makes me laugh. Even though it has been a while the still haven't grown much.
