A/N: Hey, guys! Sorry for the wait. The chapter isn't too long, but hopefully we'll have a longer one sometime in the future... tomorrow, maybe?
I woke up, bristling slightly and claws extended. I sat up in my nest, breathing heavily, and looked around, noting that the rest of the apprentices were still asleep. I made my way outside quietly, trying not to step on my denmates. When I was outside, I looked up, noting where the moon was.
A walk wouldn't hurt, I decided. After all, it would give me a chance to identify some of the landmarks Lightwhisper showed me. I hesitated at the main entrance of the camp, and then turned back, going towards the secret exit by the nursery. It was small, and I was sure that I wouldn't be able to fit in it when I was a warrior, but since I was a new apprentice, I could still fit through it.
I squeezed through, coming out at the side of the camp. I looked up, and the sight of the trees above, with the stars shining through the leaves, comforted me. I started walking, my paws carrying me subconsciously where I had been found, a moon ago.
I found myself at the hollow tree, and I sighed slightly, sitting down where I had been sleeping before. I gazed up at the stars, and then closed my eyes, thinking about the prophecy that Dewstar had given me. 'From twoleg to warrior, one cat will save the Clans…'
For the first time in my life as a cat, I found myself doubting StarClan. Why would they put all of their faith in me? I was only an apprentice. I had been a twoleg. If anything, I was the least likely cat to save one of my Clanmates, much less all four Clans. I sighed, opening my eyes again. I stood up and started walking back towards camp, by the SwiftClan border.
"Hey! You!"
I froze, hearing the voice of a cat. It sounded like it was coming from SwiftClan territory. Soon enough, a dark brown tom came into view.
"What are you doing on SwiftClan territory?"
"I'm not on SwiftClan territory!" I hissed. "If you came and looked, you would actually see that I'm on the other side of the border."
The tom stopped and blinked, studying me. "What's a kit like you doing out, then?"
"I'm not a kit! I'm an apprentice! My name's Mousepaw."
He back up at me, obviously surprised. "So you're that rogue ForestClan took in a moon ago?"
"I guess you can say that. I gave you my name, you should give me yours." If I had to, I could tell Treestar or Squirrelfoot about this encounter.
"My name's Mudpaw."
I blinked at him. "I should be going now."
Without waiting for a response, I ran off, stopping in a clearing by the camp with a stream running through it. I stepped in the stream and washed myself, getting the faint scent of SwiftClan off of me. After that was done, I walked back to the secret entrance by the nursery and stepped inside, before slipping back into the apprentices' den and curling back up in my nest. I closed my eyes, letting sleep take me again.
A/N: Was there anything that you thought could have been written better? If so, tell me! If it's a review, or a PM, it'll still be helpful! Thanks!
