it was a hot day in grassclan. bloodpaw was walking to the training field with his mentor. his sister, strawpaw was walking with him. her mentor was with her. "are you ready to train bloodpaw?" his mentor, dragonwing meowed. bloodpaw nodded. he acted calm but inside he was very nervous. he had heard that dragonwing was the strongest warrior in grassclan. "i hope i can keep up with his training." bloodpaw thought. when they made it to the training field bloodpaw ran into the shade of a tree. when the others caught up with him he ran into strawpaw and pinned her to the ground. "stupid fur-ball." she mewed, throwing him off with her hind paws. he landed on his back and rolled to his belly. "what are we learning today, dragonwing?" bloodpaw meowed." why don't you find out?" dragonwing replied. bloodpaw nodded and charged at his mentor. he dodged quickly and bit bloodpaws hind paw. bloodpaw fell on his belly and got pinned by his mentor."you gotta be faster than that." dragonwing meowed, getting off. bloodpaw got up and leaped at his mentors face. he turned around and bloodpaw grabbed his hind paw. dragonwing kicked fiercely to detach him. bloodpaw let go and flew into a tree. "you okay?" dragonwing meowed.bloodpaw nodded and got up. he felt a sharp pain in between his shoulders. he swiped his tail over the sore spot. there was blood on his tail. he shook himself and padded over to his mentor. then he leaped and aimed for dragonwings shoulders. he tried to dodge but was too slow. bloodpaw landed on his shoulders and pinned him. he felt triumph spread through him. then, fast as the wind dragonwing shot up. bloodpaw landed on his back. dragonwing slammed his paw in bloodpaws chest and dug his claws in. bloodpaw felt them rip his chest and throat open. he let out an earsplitting scream. strawpaw and her mentor roseclaw drug him off bloodpaw, scraping the claws against his belly.bloodpaw watched his sister and her mentor fight his mentor. roseclaw hit him in the head, dazing him. then they rushed over to him and nosed through his fur. strawpaws nose touched a wound that was especially painful. unable to scream, he cried. he felt blood trickle down his face. roseclaw and strawpaw lifted him up and carried him back to camp. dragonwing got up and followed them. when they got to camp every cat stopped and stared. dawnstone covered her kits eyes and coldfrost rushed over to help carry. bloodpaw was somewhat relived to be in the soft moss of the medicine den. coldfrost nosed through his fur. bloodpaw just closed his eyes hoping to awake in the apprentices den from a bad dream. he then smelled a strange scent. he opened his eyes to see a white she cat with black spots standing at the entrance to the medicine den. "who are you?" he faintly heard roseclaw say. "I'm claw." the strange she cat replied. "and I'm here to help."
