Bramblepaw sat outside the apprentices' den. He was the son of Braveclaw and Brackenheart. He had a brown tabby pelt and bright blue was their only son. His mentor was Thunderfur. Being one of the younger warriors, Thunderfur had yet to have any other apprentice, so Bramblepaw was his first. Because of that, Bramblepaw tried his best to work hard for his mentor so nobody else thought he was a bad mentor. Bramblepaw knew better than that.

The other apprentices were just coming out of the den. Bramblepaw could hear them. Blackpaw was first, Hollowflight's son. He had a completely black pelt and amber eyes. The other was Icepaw, one of Sparkleflight's daughters. She was a white she-cat with green eyes. The other was Mistypaw, Icepaw's sister and Bramblepaw's best friend. She was a silver tabby with blue eyes. Unlike Icepaw, Mistypaw was very kind and thoughtful. She would do anything to protect her Clan and family. Icepaw, however, always made fun of Bramblepaw and argued with Mistypaw a lot. She would tease them both but when a warrior or Blackpaw came along, she acted like a perfect angel and made both Bramblepaw and Mistypaw look like liars. Mistypaw's mentor was Willowheart, Icepaw's was Echofeather, and Blackpaw's mentor was Crowflight.

"Hey, Early Bird," Mistypaw greeted with a kind smile. "Don't you like sleeping in?"

"I like to get a head start on the day," Bramblepaw meowed.

"Last one to go to sleep and first up. You're one dedicated apprentice, that's for sure," Mistypaw replied.

"Not even that dedication will make him a warrior," Icepaw sneered as she walked by. "He couldn't beat a StormClan cat if they ran up and begged him."

Mistypaw flattened her ears and glared at her sister. "Why can't you just leave us alone, Icepaw? I'm sick of your insults!"

"Boo-ho! Go cry about it in a fox den. Then we won't have to listen to you for long," Icepaw retorted before walking away. Blackpaw was sitting by the entrance waiting for her. Bramblepaw imagined that Icepaw was just telling Blackpaw how "mean" he and Mistypaw were to her just now.

"Why can't she just leave us alone?" Bramblepaw growled, digging his claws into the earth.

"I know, and the worst part about it is that everyone thinks we're the bad guys when it's really her," Mistypaw added.

"I wish I could wipe that smirk clean off her face," Bramblepaw glanced at Mistypaw to see her nodding.

"Do you think everyone hates us?" Mistypaw asked.

"Maybe not everyone, but some probably do because they believe Icepaw," Bramblepaw answered. "Let's just try not to focus on that. We have training to do anyway."

Mistypaw nodded her agreement and they both ran off to find their mentors.

So, I decided to continue the story! Tell me what you think of the new characters! Please R&R :)
