Sandpaw padded quickly after Bramblestorm until they reached the hunting grounds. She stopped as her pads drew her near to a large tree. Opening her maw slightly to take in any scent that would go by, she caught a whiff of bird. Unsheathing her claws, she dug them into the bark, and began climbing upward.
Emberfoot padded silently along. "Bramblestorm. Could we speak for a moment?" she said to the warrior. "It's about Sandpaw." The she-cat stepped a few paces away from the others, and motioned for him to follow her. "So," she started, "I hear you are to mentor my daughter."

"I believe I will be.But at the monment you are right?Till you take on Patchpaw?"Bramblestorm looked thoughtfully at the deputy.He seemed to have other things on his mind.Than he turn his eyes to Sandpaw as she climbed the tree.
Coldstar looked at Sandpaw than steped over to the other warriors,"Yes I was going to have a little talk with you two,and Blackhawk."Than Coldstar sat down,"As I said,Bramblestorm will mentor Sandpaw till she is ready for warrior hood.Emberfoot you'll mentor Patchpaw while I mentor Shrewpaw."Coldstar waited for Sandpaw to come back down.

"Yes, I understand that. I just wanted to remind Bramblestorm that Sandpaw can, well... Wander off once in awhile, and get in trouble, and that he should keep a sharp eye on her. Even if she's ahead of the other apprentices, she still has a lot to learn," the deputy remarked. Her eyes were gazing, worried, upon her adventurous daughter. I just hope she doesn't fall...
Gripping on to the trunk, she made it to the branch where the bird had been nesting, its five chicks squeaking for food. Carefully, she ventured over to where the bird was, though was too late in catching it, as it had already flown away. But the chicks were right in front of her... A few seconds later, she knocked down the nest, the dispatched birds laying within it, so she wouldn't have to carry it, and began to climb back down. A few feet from the bottom, her foot slipped, but the apprentice managed to remain on the tree, continuing to slowly find her way down. Sandpaw found the nest of chicks, then sent up a prayer thanking Starclan for the prey and their lives, the delicately brought it back to the others.

Coldstar stared at Sandpaw and purred,"Bramblestorm will do good with her,he still isn't sure he can handle an apprentice.But Bramblestorm can do it,he's from another clan and he'll show his clan he is strong."Than Coldstar licked Bramblestorm's shoulder,"Have fun with your new apprentice."Than Coldstar cashed after a squirrel.
Bramblestorm accepted the lick to his shoulder and walked over to Sandpaw,smasking the little birds on the ground till they stoped breathing,"Good job Sandpaw!"He purred lightly.His amber eyes slightly moving along her well put together body. 'She is something!I can't wait till she's a warrior!' thought Bramblestorm,but he gave his head a good shack and meowed."Come on lets get going."

Sandpaw blushed a bit, looking at the ground and fidgeting with her paws. "T-thanks," she purred. Her paws padded after him as the moved on, only stopping to bury the birds for later. Softly, she tread next to her mentor-to-be. "Do you think the ceremony'll be tonight? It reminds me of when I first became an apprentice, my f-... Swallowtail was my mentor...," she suddenly looked disappointed. "I wish he could've been here... To see how much I've grown... He would've been proud..."
"He would've been proud..."
Emberfoot heard her daughter say. She know what Sandpaw was thinking. "Sandpaw... He is proud of you. I bet right now he's saying,'That's Sandpaw, my daughter,' to all the other Starclan cats. I know since he was both your father and mentor it's been hard to get over his death... But don't feel bad. No one knew he was going to be killed," she said, trying to calm her distraught daughter.

Bramblestorm slowly let his tail lie on his apprentice-to-be's shoulder,"It's ok my mother kicked me out of Riverclan.Coldstar was nice,to let me join his clan.Even thought I visted my sister,I look up to Coldstar and not show how much I miss Riverclan and my mother.Don't worry,My mother and father both died,and now I can just hear them say how proud they are of both me and Leafpaw."Bramblestorm slowly let his head down and whispered,"Even if I never forget how mean they were."
Coldstar meowed,"But if they didn't you wouldn't have a live in Thunderclan,Bramblestorm."Than Coldstar crawled over to Bramblestorm with his tail high in the air.But Coldstar stoped sat up and meowed,"I see all and all that is un seen.Bramblestorm you will have a happyer Furtune,believe me."Than Coldstar closed his mouth.He could tell Bramblestorm was watching his eyes fall on Sandpaw.

Sandpaw looked up at Bramblestorm. "I hope we can begin our training soon. I look forward to it," she meowed. Then, realizing something, the apprentice grinned. "Perhaps we can practice a little, while we're at it?" she meowed gleefully. "Maybe we can hunt a little..."
Emberfoot watched her daughter carefully. The young she-cat was having a conversation with their leader, Coldstar, and her soon-to-be mentor. But the deputy was also to receive an apprentice -- Patchpaw. With such a surplus of apprentices and a low amount of warriors, it would be hard to train them all. "Coldstar," she meowed to the leader, a thought coming to her on the subject, "With so many apprentices, wouldn't at least one cat have to train two at once? Or would they have to cancel their training until Sandpaw became a warrior?"

Coldstar looked at Emberfoot and smiled,"I do think that,Whitepaw would make a lovly medicine cat,but what about Vinepaw and Dasiypaw?"Than Coldstar looked at her and smiled,"Sandpaw knows mostly every fighting move right and hunting move?She'll still be an apprentice but she can help Bramblestorm,and still train..."Coldstar came to a stop than went on,"Bramblestorm you will mentor both Sandpaw and Vinepaw,till we get more warriors.And what about Whitepaw and Daisypaw?"Coldstar looked at Emberfoot.
Bramblestorm nodded to Coldstar,"Comeon Sandpaw before we have to start training a new apprentice."Than Bramblestorm disappeared into the undergrowth for more than ten heart beats before returning."So Coldstar I get Vinepaw & Sandpaw!"His eyes wide when he drope his last piece on the little pile they had.

(Do think think it would be alright if I decided Sandpaw's new suffix? I was thinking -strike... Sandstrike would be an interesting name...)
Sandpaw smiled. "Sure. I'd like to help Vinepaw train," she said before scrambling after him, catching a vole, then following him back. She placed it lightly on the pile, then padded up to her mother. "Emberfoot, can I speak to you for a moment?" she said to her, looking somewhat concerned about something. Flicking her tail, as if asking to the deputy to follow, she stepped behind a tree, and sat down. "I have to tell you something..."
"...I think I'm in love," she said quietly. Emberfoot looked at her daughter, "Are you sure?" The apprentice nodded. The deputy wavered silently for a few moments then said, "And does he love you back?" Sandpaw shrugged, then meowed, "I'm not sure..." The older she-cat closed her eyes, humming slightly to herself. "If anything, wait until you become a warrior. I don't want my daughter to end up as a pregnant apprentice." The apprentice nodded, understanding, then stepped away from the tree and toward Bramblestorm once more, Emberfoot following behind her.

**Cute! How she loves Bramblestorm...and Sure Sandstrike is nice**
Bramblestorm stared at Sandpaw and wondered a small thought,she is a great and beautiful apprentice,and he did kinda have a feeling for her.Bramblestorm licked a paw and drew it over his head and meowed,"Come on Sandpaw lets hunt by are selves,your my apprentice now so you should hunt with me.Bye Coldstar,Emberfoot."Than he disappeared.
Coldstar smiled and licked a paw again,"Emberfoot Have you thought of a warroir name for Sandpaw?"His eyes glittered in the sun,but he hated to see what the two younger cats were doing.

(mind if I join in?)
Faithfuldream was looking around the forest for herbs. There wasn't much in the cold days and nights of Leafbare. She sighed. "Not even a cobweb..." she noticed other cats around. She looked up, and padded towards them. She dipped her head to both her leader and deputy. "Hello Coldstar, Emberfoot," she meowed. She lifted her head to face the two. "I haven't seen any herbs lately...you? Have you been finding any prey?" she asked. She hoped this wouldn't be another starving Leafbare, and her hopes rose at the scent of freshly killed birds.
