Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 4

"Darkfinch is my mentor, he is teaching me how to be a loyal and dedicated warrior of Nightclan." Princess looked at him. "Ok, but each time I catch you in the garden then I expect new information on Serafina and Storm, oh sorry Hollytail and Darkfinch. Rissa or Olivia may be here too, Rissa and Olivia are my other kittens. They will want information too." said Princess. "Rissa and Olivia don't live here?" asked Whitepaw.  "Oh, no. Serafina and Storm went to the clans while Rissa and Olivia were adopted by my owner's sisters. They come and visit me sometimes." Princess explained. "So do we have a deal?" asked Whitepaw. Princess nodded, "until next time them." With that Princess turned and padded away into the house. Whitepaw turned and raced back to the camp with some freshly caught mice. Darkfinch padded over to Whitepaw, "I tracked you to the edge of the forest. Where did you hunt today?" he asked. "Near the lake. I found a nest of mice." said Whitepaw to his mentor. His mentor nodded but narrowed his eyes at his apprentice. "Ok, get some food and then get some rest for the night. We are going on the dawn patrol in the morning." Whitepaw nodded picked up a shrew and headed towards the apprentice den. The next morning, Darkfinch shook the bracken to get his apprentices' attention, "Wake up Whitepaw. We have to go on the dawn patrol." Darkfinch snapped at his apprentice. "Come on." Whitepaw threw a glare at his mentor before padding after him.  If Darkfinch noticed he didn't show it, Darkfinch just continued walking calmly towards the border. Whitepaw looked around as he walked he wanted to go back to Princess. Darkfinch sensed that his apprentice was ansty and he was waiting for something. He is waiting for the patrol to be over than he can go slip away to find something. "Where is he border marker?" Darkfinch quizzed his apprentice. "Over there near the edge of the forest," replied Whitepaw as if he knew that Darkfinch was testing him. Darkfinch stared at his apprentice. Darkfinch shook his head and the dawn patrol carried on. Whitepaw watched his mentor carefully wondering when he was going to be allowed to go back and share the news of her kits.
