"Over here, over here!" Snakepaw urged, rushing out of camp in the middle of the night. He had a plan-this time less dangerous-as when last time, he accidentally got spotted by a BoneClan patrol behind the forest. Not only that, the thing that pushed this was his eagerness to explore.
"Snakepaw," spoke Steampaw, "are you positive that we won't get in trouble this time? I don't want my reputation
to be known as a 'troublemaker in disguise'." Snakepaw shot him a stubborn look and ventured forward, ignoring his warning. The sky was getting darker and darker by the minute, and the trees loomed over the two apprentices as giant, sinister shadows. It was late leafbare, and colder than usual. Snakepaw was drawing dangerously closer to a thunderpath, not realizing it. He forgot all about what he was doing, just wandering off until the silence was broken.

"Watch out!"
     Just then a group of hound dogs came tumbling towards them. Steampaw shoved him aside, and quickly rushed off with Snakepaw falling behind. The dogs were drawing closer. They were starting to lose speed. Snakepaw's senses had just came back to him. Did we cross BoneClan's border again...?
    StarClan answered him! A beautiful ginger she-cat rushed in between the dogs and the cats, causing everyone to come to a halting stop. The strange cat hissed at the dogs. Snakepaw noticed she had a collar on. "Kittypet!" Snakepaw hissed, backing away.
    "My name is Honey. You will forget about me, just like all the others did. Now leave. You mustn't speak of me." Without protest, Steampaw nudged Snakepaw back to camp, merely speeding back.
    
    "Snakepaw, Steampaw, where have you been?" Willowstar asked questioningly, as she padded up to them. "W-We got chased by d-dogs..And-" Steampaw cut Snakepaw off. "Willowstar, there were dogs at the edge of our clan's border. We need to be extra careful. And, we had to fight off the dogs. Luckily we escaped, because it was on the verge of heading to StarClan for us, but thank goodness we made it back here!" Steampaw yowled. "Thank you. I shall alert the clan about this before any other dogs approach the camp." Willowstar finished. Snakepaw gave his friend a grateful glance, while the leader heading up the Highrock and called for the clan.
   
   
     The next morning, Steampaw could barely hold his excitement. "The leader wants to talk with us!" He whispered. Snakepaw yawned but slowly got up and followed him to the leader's den.
    "Good morning. Well, I brought you two here for a reason. I believe it is about time you both had your warrior ceremony," Willowstar sighed, "because I have talked to your mentors and especially after what you have done yesterday, you should earn your warrior names." Steampaw and Snakepaw were both shocked, and exchanged glances as Snakepaw spoke up. "Actually, I have something to confess, Willowstar. It was my fault we ran into the dogs..I-I just thought that with all the things going on in camp, I could just get away for a while, and-and..I'm sorry." The leader's expression looked anger-filled, and Snakepaw felt that he would get scolded again, but to his surprise the leader's voice was calm.
     "Very well then. Thank you for telling the truth, but I am ashamed of you. Your apprenticeship will last until the next moon. However, Steampaw, your warrior name will be given by tomorrow. You may be dismissed, but tell your mentors that the leader has asked them to go on a patrol." She declared and stood up, following the apprentices and then heading separate ways.

And that's where the story ends. Steampaw's warrior name is now Steamwish, and Snakepaw has yet to be granted his warrior name.
