Chapter 5.
Hazelpaw was exhausted, it had been a rough training day. It had been three moons since her first training day. First, she had gone hunting and caught a sparrow! Second, she gathered moss and feathers for the elder’s nests, Third, she practiced fighting with Frogpaw, and won! Then she patrolled the whole territory! She was SO tired. She was falling asleep when a voice said, “Hazelpaw, come with me!” She jolted awake! It was Wolfsong. “Oh, it’s just you.” Hazelpaw glared at him. Wolfsong looked offended. “I just wanted to show the stars. They are so pretty at this hour.” “Fine, Hazelpaw sighed, I’m already awake.” Wolfsong lead her out of the apprentice’s den. They walked slowly though the cherry blossoms, and then Wolfsong spoke up, “You know Hazelpaw, you are an amazing cat, why did your father take you in the first place?” Hazelpaw smiled. “I don’t know, I need to find him ask him why, I mean, this place is amazing!” They hopped on to a nice tree, and sat there together. Hazelpaw thought, Wolfsongs is so nice, and welcoming. Hazelpaw heard rustling in the bushes, and whipped around. Wolfsong quickly spat out, “It’s time to head back now.” Let’s go!” He jumped off, and Hazelpaw followed back toward camp. When they were about halfway there, Wolfsong said “I’ll race you back to camp!”” Hey!” Hazelpaw darted after him, and they ran the rest of the way back, laughing. But in the shadows, something was watching, something with big teeth.
