I padded out of camp following Sparrowfoot and Foxflare, I saw a mouse and instinct drove me to crouch. I stalked the mouse, as I went to pounce Sparrowfoot pounced on it killing it. She gave me an evil glare before padding off, I hissed in frustration. As our hunting patrol came to a close I had caught nothing, we padded back to camp. Viperstar noticed I had nothing, his gaze turned from happy to angry.
"Why have you brought nothing," Viperstar hissed.
"You sent me to hunt without any training," I spat, his ears flattened.
"You shall not eat today now go clean all the nests in camp," Viperstar hissed, I flattened my ears.
"Fine!" I spat running out of camp, I ran along the riverclan border. I tripped over my own paws, I yowled as I tumbled into the river. I struggled to keep my head above the surface, as my energy drained my head fell below the swirling water. I woke on the riverclan bank, I looked up to see a brown Tom. I coughed a couple times, he sat by my side.
"What were you doing in the river?" He asked.
"Being angry at my leader," I said, he gave me a look of concern.
"What did Viperstar do now?" He asked.
"He sent me on a hunting patrol with no training and blamed me for coming back empty pawed," I said, I sat and shook my fur dry.
"He can be the worst leader at times," the Tom said.
"yeah no kidding," I said, as my fur dried I felt better.
"Hey I never got your name," the Tom said.
"My name is Maplepaw," I said.
"My name is Reedpaw now you better get going before a patrol comes," Reedpaw said, I nodded crossing the stepping stones back into my territory.
"See you tonight at the gathering," I called to Reedpaw.
"See you tonight," Reedpaw called back, I grabbed some moss before padding back to camp.
