Dirtpaw looked across the Thunderpath. Once again she was here. "I still wonder what's across," she meowed softly. She watched a monster roar by. She hissed at it as the foul stench filled the air.

Howlingleaf dropped the rabbit in the hole that he had just dug. He would be back to pick it up later, after his trip hunting was complete.
Just then the air's coarse shifted, and Howlingleaf caught the scent of the Thunderpath in his nostrils. But there was something else on the breeze. A cat's scent. Howlingleaf crouched down on his haunches like he was taught to do as an apprentice and creped forward. There, close to the Thunderpath, sat Dirtpaw, a WindClan apprentice.
"I still wonder what's across," she meowed. Howlingleaf padded over to her and mewed, "I always wandered what was across the Thunderpath as an apprentice. "
He sat down and licked his light grey paws and swiped them over his ears. "Of course, Dirtpaw, you better not be thinking about crossing the Thunderpath. Are you?" His narrowed eyes starred into nothingness. Lost in thought.

"I did, once," Dirtpaw meowed truthfully. She remembered that day. It was the day she had met Deathfire. They had been training together secretly. "But I did'nt go all the way. I was to scared."

"Did you now?" Howlingleaf mumbled, still lost on thought. His mix matched eyes narrowed as he focused on some unseen object far in the distance. In that second, a mischievous look flickered to life in Howlingleaf's eyes. He jumped to his paws. "Hey how about we cross the Thunderpath together. Just to see what is on the other side. What do you say?"

"Okay," Dirtpaw meowed, perking up. "I can't wait to find out whats on the other side!" The brown tabby she cat, said, getting excited.

"Come on then, " he meowed, excitement shining in his eyes. He shook his head as he padded forward and thought, Great StarClan what am I a kit? No I am a proud warrior. But as the excitement surged through his belly he felt more like a kit then a proud warrior of WindClan.
Howlingleaf had reached the edge of the Thunderpath. "Now, Dirtpaw, then I say go, run with all you might until you get across. Now," he mewed with excitedly, "GO!"

At the sound of Howlingleaf's voice, Dirtpaw ran as fast as she could. When she was in the middle of the Thunderpath, nervousness and excited feelings ran through her body. Will she fast enough to make it without being killed by a monster? The edge on the other side got closer. Finally, she reached it. "I made it!" She yowled with excitment.

A monster zoomed past Howlingleaf and for a second he thought that it has gotten Dirtpaw. But then he hear he excited mew, "I made it!"
As soon as the monster pasted Howlingleaf, he bolted. It was not that far across but then Howlingleaf noticed that a monster was zooming in a couple fox-lengths aways from him. He gulped. Please let me get across, he pleaded to StarClan. Sure enough, Howlingleaf landed next to Dirtpaw on the side of the Thunderpath. "That was close, " he mumbled.
"Great job!" he meowed to her, "That great the way you bolted across. To bad we can't tell your mentor."

"I don't have a mentor," Dirtpaw mewed quitly. But that was'nt entirely true. Dirtpaw has been secretly training with Deathfire, an evil cat who has killed other cats. He was pretty much her mentor, bu Deathfire told her to keep it a secret.

"Oh, um, I could be your mentor if you'd like," He looked at his paws shyly, "Or not. I've been looking for an apprentice my self, but I am not sure how....." He trailed off.

"I'd love for you to be my mentor!" Dirtpaw meowed exitenly as she chased her tail. "We can train, hunt and do lots of stuff." Now Dirtpaw was very hyper.

"Alright!" Howlingleaf jumped to his paws. He looked at Dirtpaw and smiled to himself. She'll make a great warrior, he thought. And she is almost like me too. Lots of energy. "Come lets get going. We gots lots of things to explore on this side of the Thunderpath." Howlingleaf padded onward.

"Okay!" Dirtpaw said as she quickened up to Howlingleaf's pace. "I can't wait to find out what's on this side."

"Nether can I," Howlingleaf mewed. He scented the air. Rabbit. "Hey Dirtpaw, what do you smell?"

Dirtpaw lifted her head up in the sky and opened up her jaws to taste the air. "I can smell prey. I can smll mouse.......no, wait, I smell rabbit," She said. "I also smell cats.." She looked at Howlingleaf. "Is this the ShadowClan scent?"
