The story so far
Chapter 1
Meadowbrook stretched as sunlight flooded the Medicine Cat Den. She decided to go see Amberstar about the Dawn Patrol - she hoped that neither she nor Softpaw were on it as she had training planned for the morning.
"Amberstar?" she mewed sharply from the entrance to the den.
"Yes Meadowbrook what is it?" Amberstar mewed walking out from inside her den.
Blunt and straight to the point as always, Meadowbrook mewed, "I hope you're not planning on Softpaw going on any patrols today, I'm planning on training her, and by StarClan she needs it!" she joked. "I can go on a hunting patrol quickly now though - the freshkill pile is tiny and old lazybones Softpaw's probably asleep still."
Actually no neither of you will be leaving camp today there is a rouge about. Shadowclaw will lead a patrol.
Shadowheart opened his eyes and stretched. He walked out and saw that we needed some fresh kill.
Flamekit opened his eyes and pounced out of the Nursery. "Today is a new day!" He laughed looking around, Who would be his mentor? he wanted to start hunting right away.
Jaykitn was still sleeping, He liked sleeping because he could see. He saw his mother and started running to her but she turned into a monster, he jerked his head and squealed.
Ashpaw ran to her brother and nuzzled him gently. "It's OK JayKit, It was just a dream.." She mewed gently and calmly.
