Birchkit squirmed under Bumblecrisp, he laid down in his nest. Birchkit looked back at Bumblecrisp, the black and yellow queen fast asleep, Fallkit next to her. "... And than, I leapt onto the badger, and with one swipe of my paws, I killed it!!" Birchkit heard the eager mew of Fastpaw, an energetic young tom. Birchkit crawled from his nest to the den entrance, curious to see what nonsense the apprentice had to say. "That sounds very nice, now, what did you do after you killed it?" Sandshrew, one of the elders of Rainclan, meowed softly. Birchkit shook his head, the small tom was so stupid, he always thought he was the best cat in the clan. Fastpaw looked over his shoulder and stared at Birchkit. "Oh hello! Would you like me to show you how to hunt?" The gray tom asked excitedly. A brown tabby appeared from the warriors den, his pelt messy from sleep. "Scorchbracken! Are we gonna patrol the Flameclan border today?" Fastpaw hurried over to his tired mentor. "Maybe tomorrow, but I am sure Sandshrew would love some new bedding!" He called to his apprentice. Birchkit sighed, bored. Than he remembered he should go say hello Misteye. He looked around the clearing, a mountainous cliff edged over the camp, and the leaders den stood at the back, a small rock sat in the middle of the clearing, a pool of water surrounding it. That is where Graystar called meetings, Birchkit had heard the leader announce Fastpaw as a new apprentice, he was happy when the mouse brained tom left the nursery. A small tunnel in the ground was the medicine den, it was dug out by the founders of Rainclan. Birchkit wandered over to the hole, staring into it's black abyss. Birchkit leapt into the darkness, and landed with a thud. Scrambling to his paws Birchkit looked around the den. "Misteye! Are you in here?" He called out, his ginger and white fur barely visible. Than, Birchkit noticed Misteye's blue gray fur flash between the two tunnels. "Birchkit! I am so glad you are here! I was just about to go get you!" Misteye meowed excitedly. "I have been working on new ways to help our clan mates, Greencough had almost killed you, remember?" Misteye asked. Of course he did, it had only been a moon ago when a horrible greencough swept through the clan. Birchkit had been one of many who had caught the terrifying disease. Birchkit fluffed out his fur, he hated thinking about it. "Where is my mother?" Birchkit asked confidently. Misteye looked at the kit in surprise, "You want to see your... Mother?!" She asked shocked, Birchkit nodded. Misteye looked towards the entrance. "She is in the warriors den. She won't be very welcoming though". The medicine cat meowed, as Birchkit left her den. "Don't forget to come back for herb training!" Misteye called after him. "Don't forget to come back for herb training" Birchkit echoed in an annoyed high pitched voice. "Ya whatever, I'll do what I want to do!" Birchkit walked towards the warriors den. His mother would meet him inside. Birchkit stopped at the entrance, he let out a sigh and stepped inside.
"You actually came, you brat" An angered voice croaked from the darkness of the den.
