Chapter 7

(Picture is of Bravepaw)

Foxpaw was in awe. He had only run through without looking around when he went to see Brightkit! The forest was huge! Birds chirped a song above him and he could see mice running near a bush.

"Foxpaw. Come. " Tigerfur said and quickly walked towards a large clearing that Foxpaw could kind of see over some short bushed.

Foxpaw followed his mentor, trying to keep up with the large Tom.

Tigerfur stopped at the clearing. It was large, as Foxpaw had believed, and surrounded by bushes and rocks. In the center was a large oak tree with pointy branches jutting out.

"This is the Training Clearing. You will learn how to fight here. " Tigerfur explained in a monotone voice. Foxpaw was in awe, his eyes wide with astonishment. Battle. He wouldn't be considered a weak little kit after he learned how to fight!

"Let's move along." Tigerfur growled and padded out of the Training Clearing, with Foxpaw struggling to keep up with him.

Tigerfur continued to lead Foxpaw through the thick forest. He stopped at a stream and briskly explained," This is one of our borders. It doesn't border a clan, but it is used to keep rouges and such out." Foxpaw smelled the air, he could smell the strong woodsy scent that belonged to Leafclan.

Tigerfur led him away from the border and padded a long way. He climbed over some stones, with Foxpaw tiring quickly. "Wait!" He called out, his short legs couldn't get him that fast over the stones. Tigerfur turned and scowled,"Keep up!"

Tigerfur sighed with narrowed eyes and sat, waiting for Foxpaw to get to where he was, on the other side of the pointy stones.

Foxpaw eventually reached his mentor. He was out of breath and his pads were bleeding. Foxpaw looked up at Tigerfur, he seemed... disappointed.

"Come on. " Tigerfur said and continued to walk briskly. Foxpaw followed as fast as he could.

They came to a large rock with a small stream running next to it. "This is the border we share with Treeclan. " Tigerfur stated with a growl, his amber eyes blazed. He looked murderous. Probably something to do with Treeclan, Foxpaw thought curiously

"Treeclan is a nuisance. " He snarled,"Don't trust them or anything they say. "

Foxpaw nodded,"I won't." He lied through his teeth. He trusted Brightkit and always will. She was his best friend, even though she was born in Treeclan.

"Good. " Tigerfur said simply,"Lets move along. " The tom walked back into the center of the territory. Foxpaw followed, confused with his mentor. Tigerfur was strange.

Tigerfur continued to show Foxpaw the territory. It was really exciting for Foxpaw. I can't believe I never explored before!, Foxpaw thought

"That's Leafclan territory. Let's go back to camp. " Tigerfur growled and padded back to the protected camp.

Foxpaw padded through entrance, he was exhausted. The tour had taken it all out of him, while Tigerfur seemed to have all of his energy left. Tigerfur just walked back to his den, leaving Foxpaw.

"Hey Foxpaw!" A voice greeted. Foxpaw turned to see a young, but older then him, she cat with a reddish brown pelt, white paws, and bright green eyes. "Oh, hi Rosepaw." He replied with a yawn. He could barely feel his legs.

"How was your first day as an apprentice?" The cheerful she cat chirped happily,"Tiring." Foxpaw replied, sitting down.

Rosepaw laughed,"The territory is great, isn't it?" "Yes! It was amazing!" Foxpaw perked up. "That was my first thought too. I have to go hunt with Birdfeather, Cloudwhisker, and Crowpaw. See ya later. Oh yeah, Crowpaw made you a nest in the Apprentice's den!" She said and went to join the hunting patrol.

Foxpaw muttered a thanks and went to his new den, not bothering to get something to eat. He was too tuckered out to eat.

Foxpaw entered the den, it was a bramble bush with a branches weaved into the ceiling. He scented and found the nest that Crowpaw, an older apprentice with a dark gray pelt, had made for him.

He layed down in it and quickly escaped into the darkness that was sleep.
