Warm sunlight beamed through the hollow of WindClan camp. It was warm, inviting, beckoning. A young tom was curled up, wiry tail neatly clutched over his paws as he continued to sleep into the morning. He unconsciously smacked his lips, perhaps dreaming about a plump piece of prey.

A low grumble resounded within his stomach, his body urging him awake and demanding food. Golden brown eyes blearily opened, blinking several times as the world was a blur of colors and shapes. His hollow stomach protested again, this time much louder and Harepaw groaned slightly, rolling onto his side. With the soft sunlight warming his fur, the apprentice didn't want to get up.

"Ugh. Why is the prey pile so far?" he moaned softly trying to sit up before giving up and slumping back onto his side.
"I give up."

Wolfpaw walked past the apprentices den and then backed up and saw Harepaw. He herd what the apprentice said and decided to get him a piece of fresh-kill. So he walked over and got two mice and then walked to the apprentices den. Dropping the mice in front of Harepaw's face, Wolfpaw started to walk away but then decided to sit.

Harepaw yawned, having dozed off from the lulls of the morning heat. His stomach had continued to protest but the noises had died down to a soft whimper. Fatigue wore him away more than hunger did, and right now Harepaw wanted his body to shut up and let him catch some shut-eye. But a fresh, warm meal sounded nice too...

A sudden rush of mouth-watering aromas greeted him, and his nose unconsciously stuck out to burrow in soft fur. Amber eyes snapped open as he realized a mouse was suddenly in front of him. Brows narrowed in confusion.

"What the-? Did this die in front of me- oh! Wolfpaw!" Harepaw exclaimed in surprise a the gray tom within his view. The tabby apprentice alternated his glances from the mouse to his clanmate, the possibilities of his circumstance slowly dawning on him.
"Ah! Did you get this for me?"

Guess I was a bit too loud, he thought with a sheepish grin before scarfing down the mouse as if he had never seen food before, the warm flesh easing his stomach down. Harepaw swiped his tongue his maw several times, smacking them in a satisfied manner.

"Ah, that hit the spot. Thanks for the food, Wolfpaw. You didn't need to get it for me though..." Harepaw added, feeling slightly embarrassed that his clanmate had heard his trivial complaints.

Wolfpaw nodded I herd you and plus you're like a brother to me He said with a faint smile. If a brother is in need then you got to help them He thought looking at Harepaw.

Cougarpaw ruffled his fur from within his nest listening to the others outside. he contemplated moving, or staying perfectly still. He was a bit wary of the other apprentices, being rather small for his age he was an easy target to get picked on. He than cursed himself for being a mousebrained coward and sat up in his nest. "Hello Wolfpaw, Harepaw" He mewed as he emerged from the den to greet them.

[[is it ok if i join in?]]

The tan apprentice looked at Cougarpaw. Hey you lazy furball, You were supposed to go on a boarder patrol dismorning. I think that Blizzardstar might take your tale from sleeping in. He said to Cougarpaw. Wolfpaw turned his head and winked at Harepaw.

[smokey]

What? I was?! Cougarpaw stammered in panic. He looked about a bit fearfully as if Blizzardstar would descend on him that very moment like an eagle from the sky. I thought I was assigned Hunting patrol at sunhigh! Cougarpaw's blue eyes were wide.

[|♥|Panther|♥|]

Nope, he changed his mind and he also asked me where you were and i said, sleeping of course. Blizzardstar didn't really like that and he decided to make you do the elders den for a moon. Wolfpaw said without laughing. He had always done this to other cats but never go into trouble.

A grin couldn't but surface as Wolfpaw talked about them being brothers. Harepaw felt slightly bashful but extremely pleased. With renewed vigor and a satiated stomach, he sat up and groomed himself clean.

He heard a familiar meow and looked over to find another apprentice; Cougarpaw. Harepaw grinned.

"Good morning, Cougarpaw!" The tom watched, slightly horrified as Wolfpaw told Cougarpaw about his supposed patrol at dawn and how Blizzardstar would react. Harepaw was...rather oblivious to the fact as well, feeling sympathetic for the smaller tom.

"Gosh! Cougarpaw, you'd better get going on a patrol! Or Blizzardstar might skin your fur as well!" Granted, his comment only made it worse but Harepaw couldn't help but feel genuine anxiety for him.
"I'll go with you! And if Blizzardstar does say anything then I'll protect you!" he exclaimed, amber eyes wide.

Cougarpaw frowned "A moon for missing a patrol? Blizzardstar isnt THAT strict!" His green eyes glowed and a small yet playful growl echoed in his throat. "I guess I'll just go have to ask him then," he got to his feet as if to pad to the leaders den, and make his denmate admit his bluff, but at mention of Harepaw wanting to go on the next patrol with him, he stayed where he was. "I dont need protecting," He protested, but his eyes glowed with warmth that he was finally making friends with his denmates. He had spent the who first moon and a half feeling as if his small size would hold him back. "We should all tag onto the next patrol," Even though Wolfpaw had tried to trick him, he for some reason liked the tom. Nothing like a good sense of humor to make the day more exciting.
