The Adventures Of Mosspaw - The start of my life by QuailyCat (books to improve english txt) 📕

/> "Okay! And Mosstar can sit here!" I jumped up to the highest perch in the cave.
"No! Bramblestar will sit there!"
"Mosstar!"
"Okay then, Mosstar. What shall we do first?"
"Name our clan!"
"How about ThornClan?"
"I love it!"
"And I will be deputy! I say that Thornclan will be better than any of the other silly clans!" Bramblenose declared.
"Bramblenose!" I gasped.
"I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was saying! I would never mean to tease you, or Thunderclan!" Bramblnose apoligised.
I pressed my muzzle against his cheek.
"Don't worry. I know that you never would." I told him, affection burning my pelt.
"I'm hungry. Shall we go hunt?" Bramblenose asked me.
"I don't know how to. I'm not going to be a warrior" I told him sadly.
"Sorry, I forgot. WAIT!"
"What?"
"I could teach you!" Bramblenose exclaimed.
"Great idea! Let's go start right NOW!" I agreed.
Chapter Twelve - Hunting practice

Once we had gotten out of the tunnels, Bramblenose looked up and asked me:
"Do you know any good hunting spots?"
"I think that my brothers said that this area was a good hunting spot." I told Bramblenose.
"Great! Let's get started. First, you drop into this crouch," Brambleclaw showed me a crouch that I had seen Mudpaw and Rainpaw do.
I crouched the same way as him.
"Good! Then, you need to bend your front and back legs, and waggle your hindquarters like this." Bramblenose explained.
I copied.
"Now, keep your tail flat. And..."
I waited.
"POUNCE!"
Brambleclaw pounced on me, and we play fighted like kits, still in the nursery.
"Now let me

try!" I told Bramblenose.
"Okay. Let's go look for prey." Bramblenose agreed.
I spotted a leaf rustling on the forest floor. I tasted the air for scent. Mouse.
I lowered myself into the hunters crouch, did everything that Bramblenose showed me, and pounced. The mouse scuttered away, but was too slow. I quickly inserted a nip to the mouse's neck, and it's squirming body went limp.
"Did you catch anything?" Bramblenose padded up to where I was standing.
"Yes, this mouse." I showed him the mouse.
"That's a nice, fat, mouse! Well done! Barely anyone

catches their prey first time. I see how you are meant to be a warrior." Bramblenose purred.
"Oh, um, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Bramblenose asked.
"Jayfeather won't let me be a warrior." I mewed quietly, sadness in my tone.
"Poor you! I would hate

it if that happened to me! I'm so sorry!" Bramblenose exclaimed.
I gave a mournful sigh and looked up at the stars, only to see the sun, just peeping it's head over the horizon.
"We'd better get going. Dawn is just about to come." I warned.
"Okay. I'll see you here tomorrow night then?" Bramblense asked.
"Okay." I began running back to camp.
I hope that no one saw I was gone!

I thought.

Chapter Thirteen - Collecting herbs

Once I had arrived back at camp, I curled up in my nest, and tried to get back to sleep.
"Mosspaw!"
I reopened my eyes.
"What should I do, Jayfeather?" I moaned.
"We are low on tansy and juniper berries. I need you to go get some." Jayfeather ordered.
"What? I only just got into my -" I broke off, as I realised that I was about to exclaim that I had only just gotten into my nest.
"You don't have

to collect herbs, unless you want to clean out the whole clan's bedding." Jayfeather replied.
"All right, then. I'll go collect boring

herbs." I mumbled.
As I left the medicine den, I saw a hunting patrol getting ready to leave.
"Hi, Mosspaw!" Blossompaw came bounding up to me.
"Hi, Blossompaw." I mumbled.
"Are you going to collect herbs?" Blossompaw asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"You can come with us!" Blossompaw decided, "You will, won't you?"
"I guess so."
"Come on, Blossompaw! We need to leave!" Graystripe called.
"Okay! Mosspaw's coming with us to collect herbs." Blossompaw replied.
"Alright." Graystripe agreed.

Once we reached a good hunting spot, the patrol stopped and went off looking for prey. I saw Blossompaw dropping into a I tried tasting the air to see what she was stalking. Rabbit. Blossompaw pounced, but it was a heartbeat too late, for the rabbit had hopped away. I leaped for it, and caught it easily. I gave a quick bite to it's neck, and the rabbit dropped dead from my jaws.
"WOW! That was amazing

!" Blossompaw cried, "I have never

caught a rabbit as fast as that!"
"I heard a cry, is everything okay?" Sorreltail came bounding out of the undergrowth.
"Yes! Look at the rabbit Mosspaw caught. It's absoloubtly huge

!" Blossompaw exclaimed.
"I see. It is quite big, isn't it?" Sorreltail agreed.
"Where did you get that rabbit from?" Graystripe asked, padding calmly out from the bushes.
"I caught it." I told him.
"Well done! It certainly is going to feed hungry mouths, isn't it?" Graystripe admired.
"I think we should head back to camp now, seeing as Graystripe, me, and Mosspaw have caught something." Sorreltail decided.
"Okay." Graystripe agreed.
As the patrol headed back toward camp, Blossompaw looked back, and called:
"Come on, Mosspaw!"
"I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just let me gather some herbs." I told her.
As I padded to a spot that Jayfeather had told me was good to collect tansy and juniper berries, I scented a familliar scent, yet it was not clan scent.
"Bramblenose!" I cried.
"I saw that you caught a big, fat, rabbit. You were fantastic!" Bramblenose bounded up to me.
"Yes. Do you think I did well?" I asked.
"No."
I was about to burst out saying that I thought that I did very well, when I saw mischeof glistening in Bramblenose's golden eyes.
"No." Bramblenose repeated, "I don't think you did well. I know

you did well."
"Thankyou." I thanked Bramblenose.
"You'd better go back to camp now."
"Okay."
I grabbed a clump of tansy and juniper berries, and left back to camp.
Bramblenose is so kind,

I thought Do I love him?

Chapter Fourteen - Will I be a warrior?

As I arrived back in camp, I paused briefly to look around.
Mousfur and Longtail were sharing tongues outside the elders den, Firestar and Graystripe were chatting together beside the fresh kill pile, and Jayfeather was pacing around the entrance to the medicine den.
"Mosspaw! There you are! What took you so long? I thought I would have to wait here till leafbare and catch greencough!" Jayfeather scolded.
"Sorry, Jayfeather." I apoligized.
"Don't go too hard on Mosspaw, Jayfeather. She's been working very hard. And not just

on medicine cat duties." Firestar told Jayfeather.
Graystripe must have told him about the rabbit that I caught!

"Anyway, may I talk to Mosspaw? I will only be a heartbeat." Firestar asked.
"By all means." Jayfeather replied.
As he brushed past me he muttered:
"I'll take thoses." And took the tansy leaves and juniper berries from my mouth.
I padded over to Firestar and Graystripe.
"What was it that you needed to tell me?" I asked.
"Graystripe told me that you needed to go collect herbs, and you joined his hunting patrol. You then caught a huge, most likely very

hard to catch rabbit, and with no warrior apprentice training at all!" Firestar said, "Is that true?"
"Yes, it is." I told him.
"Mosspaw, do you realise how amazingly unbeilevable that is?" Firestar asked.
"The point is, Mosspaw, we thought that you might be able to take warrior training, as well as medicine cat training. Do you think that would be possible? However, it would mean working extra

hard." Graystripe said.
"Of course, we would have to ask Jayfeather first." Firestar told me, "He did ask specially if you could be his apprentice."
My heart sunk right down to my paws. There's no way that Jayfeather would let me take warrior training!

I thought.
"I would simply love

to take warrior training. But I'm not so sure that Jayfeather would let me..." I told the two toms.
"We'll ask him." Firestar said.
As I padded over to the medicine den, Firestar quickly said:
"Wait! Mosspaw, I saw that when I anounced that Jayfeather would be your mentor, you looked quite upset. Did you want to be a warrior?"
"To be honest, I did. But I don't think that Jayfeather will let me ever

be a warrior." I replied.
"What do you mean?" Firestar looked puzzled.
"I had a dream. I think that Starclan sent me it. I was pretty sure that it meant that I was meant to be a warrior. But when I told Jayfeather that, he said that I could not

be a warrior." I explained.
"Oh. Thankyou for giving the time to talk to me." Firestar said.
As I entered the medicine den, Jayfeather mumbled:
"What was that about?"
"None of your buisness!" I snapped.
"Listen! I heard something about becoming a warrior. You mustn't become a warrior!" Jayfeather told me.
"Fine!" After I said that, I muttered, so quietly that no one else could hear apart from me:
"Dream spoiler!"
